Can a war in the Middle East be averted? | Inside Story

Hezbollah is still reeling from the killing of its longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argues the assassination of Nasrallah will reshape the balance of power in the Middle East. And he has warned Iran, Hezbollah's main supporter, that Israel’s military can strike anywhere in the region that it needs. Tehran has vowed retaliation, saying Israel will regret its actions.
