US and Iran getting close to war

The United States and Iran are currently involved in escalating tensions in the Middle East. The US has attacked Iranian-backed groups in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq, while Iran-linked groups have targeted American personnel in the region. The US military is being drawn into dangerous flashpoints in the Middle East, with pressure on Iraq to expel US forces, which have been attacked by Iran-backed militias. The US continues to protect shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and defend against attacks on American forces in the region. Iran's top diplomat has stated that the risk of war in the Middle East has increased, blaming the US for the escalating tensions. The situation remains ongoing, and the potential for further escalation exists.
