Israel and Iran have begun a new round of attacks, as the conflict between the two heavily armed rivals enters its fourth day.

In the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva, many people seem to be lining up to support the military operation against Iran — despite an Iranian missile hitting here days ago.

But Israel's formidable and sophisticated military forces - with an arsenal largely, but not exclusively, provided by the United States - are enabling it to overpower a much larger enemy. The BBC looks at the military balance in the latest war in the Middle East.

Iran is often portrayed as one of the world’s most dangerous actors, but with its attacks on Iranian defenses, nuclear sites and proxy militias, Israel has exposed a compromised and weakened adversary.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that any attack against the U.S. will be met with the "full strength and might" of the U.S. military.

President Donald Trump is under fierce pressure from inside Israel and his own MAGA base as he ponders the most fateful national security decision of either of his presidencies — whether to attempt a killer blow against Iran’s nuclear program.

The resolution comes one day after President Trump suggested “it’s possible” the United States could get involved in the Middle Eastern conflict.
