The US-Israel-Iran war is far from over, and what started as a conflict involving three countries has now drawn in several others. The United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Cyprus, Bahrain, Qatar, Syria, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Yemen and Iraq are all now part of what some have described as a widening global conflict.
