Countless wars have arisen from that war in June 1967. In fact, that 'Six-Day War' has been going on for 59 years now, and there are no signs of its end on the horizon.

War produces a quagmire from which the next war will erupt, the poet Aharon Shabtai wrote. The first war that has already erupted after this weekend's attack on Iran is Iran's war against the Gulf States. And another war may well erupt within Iran following the assassination of its leader, Ali Khamenei. Chaos will most likely reign throughout the region.
