It is a conflict that has the potential to ignite the entire Middle East.

Israel has been attacking Iran, saying Tehran's nuclear programme poses an existential threat.

Iran for its part, has responded with a barrage of retaliatory attacks.

But now, what role can the global community play?

China, Russia and Turkiye have condemned Israel's actions.

Beijing and Moscow maintain economic and political ties with both Iran and Israel.

So, what, if anything, can these powers do to end the conflict?
And is there a shift in dynamics in the region?
