As military strikes intensify between Iran and Israel, analysts warn that the situation could trigger a global crisis. Here’s why:
1. Global oil supply is under threat, pushing prices upward.
2. Hezbollah and Hamas may join the conflict, broadening the battlefield.
3. U.S. and Russia are being drawn into regional diplomacy with conflicting interests.
4. Cyberattacks are rising as both countries target critical infrastructure.
5. A direct attack on nuclear facilities could violate international treaties.
