The week that pushed the Middle East closer to all-out war

In the past seven days , Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been assassinated, Israel has launched a ground invasion of Lebanon , and Iran has fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at targets across Israel .

Western and regional powers - led by the US - have pushed for de-escalation.

But so far those efforts have failed - and the Middle East stands closer than ever to all-out war.

Despite Hezbollah ’s devastating losses, it has vowed to fight on in Lebanon .

History shows us it is easy for Israel to enter Lebanon , but difficult for them to leave.

Iran knows it cannot afford to escalate much further and has no allies to spring to its defence in the event of a confrontation.

A severe reaction seems inevitable, though, and some of Benjamin Netanyahu's rhetoric suggests he might be thinking, ultimately, of regime change in Iran .
