The region’s tensions rise … Is the explosion close?



The regional scene today seems to stand on the edge of a dangerous abyss, where military and political developments are accelerating at the same time, while the entire region appears to be a hostage of an escalator that has no ceiling.
In fact, Israel went far away in its bets, considering that the first line of defense that faced it for decades has been defeated or tired; From Lebanon, to Gaza, to the West Bank and Syria, which lives on the impact of chronic exhaustion. This feeling of victory on the “first line” is pushing it today to focus on the second line of confrontation, in an attempt to secure its strategic environment with a greater depth.
However, the major dilemma of Israel is that its war against Iran has not achieved its goals. All secret and public strikes and operations have not changed from Tehran’s site or its regional presence. On the contrary, it made it more clash with its allies and more willing to confront long -term. The failure of this bet radically re -confuses the cards, and pushes the Israeli leadership to think about opening a new front with Iran, or at least preparing for a second wave of direct and indirect confrontations. But this adventure comes in a tremendous tension that is getting more dangerous with Turkey, especially after Qatar targeted the strategic ally of Ankara and the influential player in regional balances. On the other hand, the scene of alliances is witnessing deep changes. Egypt, which has been for decades far from Tehran, finds itself forced to reconsider its strategic position due to the Israeli tulture, which is directly threatening the regional balance. If the indicators are correct on an Egyptian-Iranian rapprochement, this wave may extend to other countries such as Türkiye and perhaps Syria. Syrian President Ahmed Al -Sharaa clearly indicated that he does not close the door to re -connecting what was interrupted with Iran in one way or another, in a message that is not without strategic dimensions that may turn the accounts upside down. This complex scene raises an urgent question: Are we heading on a big explosion in the region? All elements suggest this; From the open Israeli escalation, to Turkish-Israeli tension, to the re-formation of the axes between Tehran, Cairo and Ankara. The area is like a barrel, it is sufficient to ignite a small spark until it turns into a huge explosion that changes the face of the Middle East for many years. In conclusion, the reality no longer tolerates small maneuvers, but rather is heading towards a confrontation that may be the largest in decades, as interests intersect and the forces collide in the battle of the existence of not just a transient conflict.
