US-Israel war on Iran enters second month, spreads regionally

One month after the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, the conflict has metastasized well beyond Iranian borders — with Houthi missile attacks on Israel, Iranian drone strikes hitting Kuwait International Airport, and US airstrikes in Iraq killing three PMF fighters and two police officers. Yemen's Houthis have now pledged an expanded campaign against Israel, raising fears of an uncontrollable regional spiral. The war began on February 28 with the initial US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
