Getting baited into a regional conflict is my definition of making it worse. While I have every confidence in the Iron Dome over Israel, is it not just a little suspicious that, what was it, less than 1% of the missiles/drones launched actually landed, and those that did caused very little damage?
The Iranian government is playing the long game I think. They got Israel to make attacks in Syria. Next is likely Lebanon. Maybe direct attacks into Iran. The détente that had been growing between Israel and the Arab world is being chipped away, and I would not be surprised to see Arab nations once again band together to fight who they see as the "Bully" in the region.
And what happens then? Do any Western nations come to the rescue in direct support? Or do governments say, we warned you not to escalate, you are on your own?
