Iran has retaliated against Israel, experts say the Middle East is in its "most dangerous" moment.

Professor Niu Xinchun of the China-Arab Institute at Ningxia University: This round of military conflict between Iran and Israel has placed the entire Middle East region at its most dangerous moment since the new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict began on October 7, 2023. Over the past nearly two years of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the main military confrontations have occurred between Israel and several non-sovereign guerrilla or militia organizations. This time, it is a large-scale military conflict between Iran and Israel, two sovereign countries, both of which are military powers in the Middle East. Therefore, a large-scale military conflict between these two countries is extremely dangerous and has a significant impact. From the past two days, it is clear that Israel aims to substantially weaken Iran's military strength, especially its nuclear and missile capabilities. On the 13th day, Israel conducted targeted strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, missile facilities, and top military leaders. That evening, Iran also launched missile attacks on multiple targets inside Israel. It can be confirmed that in the next two to three days, the military conflict between Iran and Israel will escalate further.
