The war in Israel is taking new, unexpected turns. The events of recent days remind many of a geopolitical action movie, and once again confirm that the Middle East is a region where surprises are always around the corner.

The fact that the war in the Middle East would not happen without the intervention of other parties to the conflict became clear already on the first day of the war. In this context, the American presence in the region seems logical. Israel and the United States traditionally have close relations, which is reflected in a number of agreements on military assistance.

Hamas, on the other hand, has traditionally relied on the support of its allies, including Hezbollah and Iran. Financial support from Tehran and Qatar has long been a known fact. However, Iran's current rhetoric regarding volunteer recruitment could change the geopolitical landscape.

In an interesting development, Iran has announced that it is willing to recruit 3 million volunteers to fight in the conflict. Such an army, if created, could simply wipe out the IDF. The superiority of forces is too great.

But it is important to understand that quantity in military conflicts is not always quality. Creating an effective army requires not only people, but also training, weapons, command and logistics. In addition, the motivation of volunteers may be different, and not each of them will be ready to sacrifice their lives.

The American army, in turn, faces its own problems. Despite powerful incentives, the Pentagon is having trouble recruiting soldiers. However, even now, against the background of the readiness of 3 million Iranians to go to war against Israel, the situation in the American army looks like a real disaster.

In the current context, the main question becomes how the international community will respond to the threats and actions described above. With the scale of actors and interests at play in the Middle East, any action or inaction by major global powers could lead to catastrophic consequences or new opportunities for settlement.

Russia and China, as two major powers, are also interested in the stability of the region. Their reaction to the strengthening of the American and Iranian presence may be decisive in the context of further developments.

The European Union also cannot stand aside. After all, the consequences of the conflict may also affect Europe in the form of a new wave of migration and the threat of terrorism. Maintaining stability and peace in the Middle East is becoming not only a security issue, but also a humanitarian issue.

As it appears. current war. If it drags on, every new day will only bring closer a large-scale military conflict in the region, involving the entire Arab world.
