The situation in the Middle East has reached a critical point following the launch of a joint military operation by the United States and Israel against Iran. The attacks, dubbed "Epic Fury," resulted in the deaths of key leaders in Tehran and triggered an immediate Iranian missile response targeting Israel and Arab states. Donald Trump warned of escalation, threatening the use of force on an unprecedented scale if Tehran does not cease retaliatory actions, which have already affected Dubai, Qatar, and Bahrain.
A night-time attack by US and Israeli air forces on strategic sites in Iran has initiated the most dangerous phase of conflict in the Middle East in decades. The operation, codenamed "Epic Fury," was a precision strike targeting military infrastructure and the political command center in Tehran. According to media reports, the airstrikes resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, which media outlets are calling a "decapitation operation." This event has sent shockwaves throughout the region, leading to a mass exodus of residents from the Iranian capital and the immediate mobilization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran's response was almost immediate and took the form of massive missile attacks. In addition to strikes aimed at Israel, missiles and drones fell on territories of US-allied countries in the Persian Gulf region. Explosions were reported in Dubai, Qatar, and Bahrain, which experts interpret as punishment for these countries' cooperation with Washington. <przypis title=
