Iran-backed groups, including Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas, and Iraqi militias, have intensified their activities across the Middle East, prompting fears of a broader regional conflict. The escalation follows recent clashes between Israel and Palestinian factions, as well as increased missile and drone attacks attributed to Iran and its proxies, raising concerns among Western and Middle Eastern governments about stability in the region. Diplomatic efforts are underway to de-escalate tensions, but analysts warn that the situation remains volatile. Iran's support for various militant groups appears to be part of a broader strategy to expand its influence and challenge Israel's security, while regional powers grapple with the potential for wider warfare and the implications for global security.
