Four weeks into the Iran war, the conflict is entering a dangerous new phase. In the past 24 hours, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement has launched its first strike on Israel since the war began, raising fears the war could expand even further across the Middle East. What began as US and Israeli strikes on Iran has spread across the region, with attacks reported from Lebanon to the Gulf, and growing risks to global energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
In this report, we break down where the war stands now, and what could come next. With oil prices rising and no clear diplomatic breakthrough, the question now is whether this conflict can be contained, or whether it will continue to widen. #dwnews #iranwar #houthis 00:00 Four weeks of war: where things stand 00:30 Strikes inside Iran and civilian toll 01:14 How the conflict spread across the region 01:32 Houthis enter the war 02:00 Israel's reaction 02:46 Trump: talks in progress 03:20 Humanitarian crisis in Iran – Carlo Gherardi 09:48 Israeli strategy and politics – Akiva Eldar For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
