Curtin University’s Dean of Global Futures Joe Siracusa says the whole Middle East region is “on fire”.

As tensions continue to escalate, IDF has intercepted two cruise missiles and two drones fired from Iraq.

“Israel is at war with the Iranian axis of evil, whether it’s the Houthis, Hezbollah, the elements in Iraq,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia.

“The killing of all those people in Lebanon the other day with the pagers and the walkie talkies and then the assault on one of their leaders and the response ... tells us that there is no going back.”
