As the war between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other reaches its seventh day, analysts are raising fundamental questions about the Iranian regime’s strategy and motivations.
Despite the overwhelming military buildup around Iran—including US naval forces, aircraft, and regional bases—Tehran has not backed down.
Instead, Iranian forces have expanded their attacks beyond Israeli and American targets, launching missiles and drones toward multiple countries across the Middle East.
Reports indicate that the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Turkey, Cyprus, and even Qatar—countries not directly involved in the war—have faced strikes or threats during the escalation.
