Oct 18, 2026, 8:23 PMOn Feb 28, 2026, the USA, partnered with Israel, without cause, started dropping bombs on Iran.
Today, October 18, 2026 I count 14 nations involved.
10 active or promised agressors/defenders
2 mediators
2 silent, unacknowledging helpers.
Of all the above, two are superpowers, SIX are nuclear armed ( counting Israel).
Four are nations outside the ME, including the initial aggressor.
So, what do we call this?

Oct 18, 2026, 8:32 PMI completely do not get what France thinks it is at, but perhaps there are deep signed-in-blood treaties that I do not know about.
The again, I guess all treaties are effectively signed in blood.
