Hello everyone and welcome to Amampur. Here's what's coming up. Another day, another

air strike as a regional war threatens to take hold. Ivan Watson reports on what Pakistan's retaliatory strike on Iran

could lead to.

Plus, a doctor just back from Gaza tells me

that she saw hospitals there overwhelmed by children with horrendous injuries.

Then I speak to Prime Minister Netanyahu's senior advisor Mark Gregev.

Also ahead, just how significant are the goodies these Iran proxies

amping up regional tensions Walter Isixon talks to Middle East expert

Elizabeth Kendall. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Montpur in London. The Pentagon insists

that conflict between Israel and Hamas has not technically spread into a wider war yet.

But experts warn just one miscalculation could change that as missiles fly around the region between hostile states at an alarming pace.

The United States has today carried out further airstrikes against Huti militants in Yemen.

Israel meanwhile, warning that the likelihood of war on its northern front with Lebanon

is, quote, much higher than in recent times.

That's the backdrop for a different escalation of

hostilities this time between Pakistan and Iran. Tit-for-tat airstrikes that both

nations claim are aimed at terror bases. Take a listen to Iran's foreign minister at

Davos. None of the nationals of the friendly and the broadly country of

Pakistan were targeted by the mess missiles and the drones of Iran.

It only targeted Iranian terrorists on the soil of Pakistan.

But tensions are rising between the two neighbors as Ivan Watson now reports.
