[On-point] U.S. intervention in Israel's war against Iran raises Middle East concerns

The U.S. has now entered Israel's war with Iran by dropping bombs on key nuclear sites in Iran --further raising tensions in the region.

For more on how the situation in the Middle East will unfold, we're joined by Professor Kim Kangsuk, Professor at the Department of Arabic at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

Professor Kim, thanks for joining us this morning.

1. The U.S. carried out an attack on Iran's nuclear sites, after Trump said he would decide within two weeks on a move by the U.S. What's behind Trump's decision to engage in the conflict between Israel and Iran directly?

2. What will Iran's next move be? How might the country retaliate in response to the latest U.S. attack on its nuclear facilities?

3. Iran's parliament has now voted to shut the Strait of Hormuz. If the country's government makes the final decision to close the strait, how will that affect the rest of the world?

4. What does U.S. intervention mean for the wider region? Will the conflict escalate into a full-scale war, or even spread to become a wider war?

5. Surely, the fighting can't go on forever. How might this conflict end — and when?

Alright Professor Kim. Thank you so much for your insight. We appreciate it.
