The Middle East is experiencing heightened tensions following coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, which have resulted in over 600 deaths, including that of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated by closing the Strait of Hormuz and attacking U.S. and allied targets, with warnings of further escalations from U.S. officials. Gulf nations are facing military spillover, including missile interceptions and attacks on military bases, prompting U.S. evacuations from the region.
