Iran-backed groups in the Middle East, including Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas, and various Iraqi militias, have increased their military activities and rhetoric, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. The escalation comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, with Iran denying involvement in recent attacks but supporting allied groups that have launched strikes against Israeli and Western targets. Western officials and Israel have expressed alarm over Iran's expanding influence and support for militant organizations, warning of potential retaliatory actions. The situation remains volatile, with diplomatic efforts ongoing to de-escalate tensions, but the risk of wider conflict persists as Iran's regional proxies continue to assert their presence through military operations and provocative statements.
