Mounting tension in the region has sparked fears of a wider conflict, as various players engage in what can be described as a high-stake chess game. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis, all backed by Iran, have become key actors in the ongoing turmoil. Critics argue that the current administration's approach to Iran is weak and putting the United States at risk.
House Intel Committee member Mike Waltz expresses concerns, stating that terrorism will persist as long as Iran continues to receive financial support. Waltz believes that the Biden administration should reverse its Iran policy, revert to maximum pressure, and cut off the financial resources that fuel terrorism in the region. He highlights Iran's prominent role not only in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine but also in other regional conflicts, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine.
