As the war between Iran, Israel and the US enters its second week, concerns are growing over a potential regional spillover.
It’s been a week since the war between Israel and the United States and Iran started with devastating strikes on Tehran.
The conflict soon spread to neighbouring countries that have been on the receiving end of hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones. Targets in countries beyond the region have also been hit, with some warning that those attacks could open new fronts.
