A sobering look into whether the Israel-Iran standoff could escalate into an all-out war?

There has never been any semblance of peace between Iran and Israel but arguably never have they come this close to war. It was Iran's first direct attack on Israel but 99 percent of munitions fired were repelled. As Iran marks its annual National Army Day, President Ebrahim Raisi is warning of a severe response if Israel attacks again. After meeting with Israeli leaders, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says it's clear Israel has decided to respond to Iran. That's despite earlier warnings from Israeli allies not to escalate further. It's all led many to fear we're on the precipice of all-out war. So where could this latest standoff take the region and the world?
