What might happen next in the conflict?
Posted on Feb 28, 2026 / World
Right now it’s too early to tell exactly how this will unfold, but several things could happen in the coming days. Iran might choose to retaliate with its own military strikes, whether against Israeli territory or U.S. forces in the region, which could widen the conflict. Other nations in the Middle East and beyond could be drawn in diplomatically or militarily, depending on how tensions escalate. On the other hand, there could be efforts to return to negotiations or a cease-fire if international pressure mounts for de-escalation. Markets and global leaders are watching carefully because any escalation could impact oil prices, trade, and regional stability. Both governments involved have historically said they prefer containment and diplomacy, but actual outcomes depend on each side’s next moves. Civilians in the region remain the most vulnerable if the situation spreads.
