Analysis: Israel and Iran set for 'retaliatory cycle' of strikes without diplomatic intervention

The Middle East is set for a "broader war" unless diplomats can persuade Israel and Iran to dial down hostilities. Sky News analyst Prof Michael Clarke said Israel had decided to "take on all its enemies", triggering last night's Iranian ballistic missile attack. He said there needed to be a "choreographed" response from Israel that was acceptable to Iran, or there was a risk of a "retaliatory cycle" of attacks from both sides. Iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in response to Israeli military activities in the region.
