Tensions in the Middle East are escalating significantly. An Israeli-American strike on Iran at the end of February killed several political and military representatives of the regime, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran responded by shelling targets in Israel and other countries in the region, Hezbollah has also become involved in the conflict, and the fighting has spread to Lebanon. According to the latest reports, the attacks in Iran have already claimed more than a thousand lives.
