Military actions by various actors across the Middle East are compounding fears that Israel's assault on Gaza is escalating into a full-blown regional war. In recent days, the United States has carried out strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen who have resumed their attacks on container ships in the Red Sea; Iran has struck targets in northern Iraq, Syria and Pakistan; while Hezbollah and Israel have escalated the intensity of fighting across their border. For a look at where all this is headed, we speak with journalist Spencer Ackerman, who says it's "the most dangerous moment for the Middle East" he has witnessed in over 20 years of covering war and security. "This is now a conflict with battlefronts ranging across the region," he says. "We shouldn't think that absent an active act of deescalation that this won't continue spiraling outward throughout 2024." Ackerman writes the Forever Wars newsletter and is the foreign policy columnist for The Nation.
