Why is Israel fighting Iran? Because Iran has gone far with its nuclear program. Iran has 400kg of 60% enriched uranium, a nuclear fuel that is just one step to having a nuclear weapon that will surely be used against Israel. If Iran finally wins the nuclear feat,it will tip the balance of terror in the middle East to its favour. Without United States military assistance, Iran is stronger than Israel. But having a nuclear weapon will neutralize the advantage. Even America will tread softly with nuclear Iran. Stopping Iran is existential to Israel.
As the war rages on,very soon the effects will be felt across the world as Iran will close the strait of Hormuz making movement of oil tankers difficult. That will disrupt global shipping, especially oil whose prices will soar and worsen inflation across the globe. The Houthis of Yemen, die-hard proxy of Iran will also double attacks on shipping lines in the red sea. This will seriously impact on the stability and health of international trade.
Also Iran that sees America as supporter of Israel may attack American air bases in the Gulf states or attack embassies. Killing any American will force President Donald J. Trump to bomb Iran, which is what Israel wants because Israel believes it is America that has the bunker busting bombs that can pe*****te deep nuclear facilities of Iran.
But one man, Putin of Russia will be the biggest beneficiary of this war as it is already raising the price of oil. Russia stands to make billions of dollars if the war escalates.
