The publication also notes that the first week of the conflict demonstrated ambiguous results: while the U.S. and Israel are actively conducting airstrikes against a weakened adversary, there is still no clear understanding of the war's outcomes.
During the conflict, American and Israeli forces have already carried out around 4,000 strikes on Iranian targets, including military bases, headquarters, and ballistic missile positions.
According to officials' estimates, Iran still retains a significant portion of its military capabilities. The report presented to Congress states that Tehran has approximately half of its missile arsenal and a large number of drones remaining.
Additionally, a website called Cost of the Iran War has been launched, which tracks U.S. spending on military operations in real time.
On February 28, Israel and the U.S. struck Iran, while Donald Trump announced plans to destroy the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic.
In response, Iran began attacks on territories in Israel and other Middle Eastern countries where American military bases are located, including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai (UAE), as well as Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
As a result of the U.S.-Israeli attacks, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, and his wife Mansoureh Khodjasteh later died from her injuries.
Donald Trump stated that the campaign in Iran would last about four weeks, while Iran declared jihad against the U.S. and Israel, emphasizing the absence of any negotiations.
The conflict in the Middle East is affecting the situation in other regions, including Kyrgyzstan. Currently, thousands of tourists are stranded in the UAE. Information about the phone numbers of embassies and consulates for Kyrgyz citizens abroad is available here.
