There is an increasing likelihood of the war in Israel and Gaza, instigated by Hamas on the 7 October, spreading. Iran has a - dog in this fight via Hamas, which it underpins financially, militarily and with intelligence. If other states were to side with Hamas against Israel, this would probably bring the US either directly or indirectly into the conflict. Over recent years there has been great anxiety that Iran was secretly developing nuclear weapons. That isn't the case now, but - what if in a few years, that was to change? Moreover Putin might try to do something and China might by tempted to invade Tawain. Add this to the other major conflict Ukraine, and the world looks increasing unstable. Could unforeseen events bring - like the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in June 1914 - another international conflict? What a terrifying thought.
