This is the sort of thing that could spin out of control. Iran evidently could control when various nonstate actors they’ve cultivated would enter the conflict, but can’t really control what they do once unleashed, nor what the US and Saudi Arabia do in response, what the Iraqi govt does, etc.

US-Iran war back on, though still a fraction of the air war’s spring peak. Call this level 2. Level 1 is blockades but no strikes. 3 is a more intense air war, 4 expands to civilian infrastructure, 5 is ground invasion. Neither side seems to want it, but neither appears to be backing down either.
