Middle East Crisis Explained
The region is facing unprecedented escalation following a massive joint military operation by the United States and Israel against Iran, codenamed “Operation Epic Fury.” Iranian state media and U.S. officials have confirmed that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during a strike on his compound in Tehran.
In retaliation, Iran launched extensive missile and drone attacks across the region, targeting Israel and Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases, including Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait. This has affected thousands of travelers, including many Indians stranded abroad.
