Since February 28, Israel and the United States have begun military operations against Iran, carrying out numerous air and missile strikes on various cities and military targets. In response, Tehran has attacked Israel and American bases in several Middle Eastern countries. American President Donald Trump announced the start of the military operation "Epic Fury" immediately after the first strikes.
As a result of the attacks, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as several high-ranking officials in Tehran, were killed.
The conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate, and missile strikes on targets have not ceased from either side. Many people have found themselves in a difficult situation due to the closed airspace in the conflict zone.
