Four Events Highlight a Troubling Inflection Point in the Middle East: Terrorism in Iran, Escalation in Lebananon, Violence in the Red Sea & Pure Death in Gaza


Listen Later

In this episode, Alex looks at how four events could dramatically escalate conflicts around the Middle East. Of course there is the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza after October 7th and the rising violence in the Red Sea. However, Alex relates these events to two recent ones. He talks about the killing of a high-ranking Hamas official in Lebanon as the UN warns of rising violence in the area. He also discusses the recent terrorist attack in Iran that killed over 100 people during the anniversary of Qasem Soleimani’s death. This attack hit the soul of the Iranian regime and will see cascading effects. Alex worries that all of these events show that the world is at an inflection point as the risk of a larger conflict is growing. Alex hopes that there is enough good, pragmatic, leadership in the world to prevent an escalatory moment that could lead to a regional crisis at best, and a global conflict at the worst.
