Iran vs Israel: How potential conflict could look according to experts: 'Already at war'

War between Iran and Israel would be to no one’s benefit in the region as it would likely end up in a pitched battle that regional forces would keep away from, experts told Fox News Digital.

"Frankly, none of the Arab states would want to take either side in this conflict," Matt McInnis, senior fellow for the Institute for the Study of War, explained. "They may inevitably be drawn into it, and I think that's one of the things that Iran is very worried about."

"[Iran is] not quite sure if Israel’s efforts over the last few years to increase diplomatic and security relationships with states like Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and others are sufficient to keep these states out of a larger conflict," McInnis added.

"Our bases and others in those countries, in a larger and larger conflict as part of our support and defense of Israel is obviously very complicated," McInnis explained. "I think that on the Iranian side, certainly the Syrians will side with them, but I don't know what material support that provides aside from potentially allowing Iran to use Syrian territory for attacks."
