    Forgive my ignorance, but it feels like in such a short time the US is yet again involved various conflicts in the middle east. It’s so fast I feel like I can barely keep up. What the hell has made this expand beyond the conflict between Israel/Gaza?

      Unwavering support for the genocide Israel is conducting by US mostly. US declared its full support for Israel after October 7th, then repeatedly vetoed ceasefire resolutions at the UN while pumping Israel full of weapons. People in the Middle East were increasingly outraged by the atrocities Israel was committing, and started retaliating against Israel and US. Yemen started blocking shipping through their waters, and many occupation resistance groups in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria started attacking US and Israeli assets. After US soldiers were finally killed a few days ago, US decided to crank things up a notch.
