Last night's statement by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian is seen as the strongest yet, warning of the possibility of a preemptive strike in the coming hours.

He said groups backed by Iran will not allow Israel to do what it wants in Gaza. Among those groups is Lebanon's Hezbollah, which has been engaged with Israel along the border for more than a week now. That cross-border exchange of fire has so far been largely limited in scope, confined to the border areas and military targets. Hezbollah describes what is taking place along the border as skirmishes and a warning, while Israel describes it as below the level of escalation.

But what could happen next?
