Trump: Iraq will be the base for military operations in Syria
On February 28, the United States along with Israel launched a military campaign against Iran. Donald Trump explained the attacks on Iran as “running out of patience” because Tehran did not want to give up its nuclear ambitions.
Many cities in the Islamic Republic were attacked, including the capital. One of the attacks targeted the residence of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei; he did not survive. In response, Iran is launching missile and drone attacks on Israeli and American air bases in the Middle East.
Thousands of Russians are stranded in the UAE and the Middle East amid a conflict between the US and Iran over flight cancellations.
