Conflict in the Middle East
On February 28, the United States and Israel announced the start of a large-scale military operation against Iran, carrying out hundreds of strikes on strategic targets in the country.
During one of the attacks, aimed at the residence in Tehran, Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, as well as several high-ranking commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
In response, Tehran launched a massive attack using ballistic missiles and drones against the territory of Israel, as well as against American military facilities and territories of US allied states in the Middle East, including Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.
