Snippet:
It has been five months since the US and Israel launched their war with Iran, and the conflict has never really been contained. Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Jordan have all been hit by Iranian missiles and drones; Hezbollah drew Lebanon into a fight that is still going on; and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, with neither talks nor military action producing a lasting reopening.
