Iran's missile attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab states on Monday have significantly escalated the regional conflict in the Middle East. The hostilities now include Tehran-backed militias, with Hezbollah striking Israel and the United States retaliating against targets in Iran.
Top Iranian leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have been killed in the strikes, and more than 200 deaths have been reported. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister suggested that military units might be acting independently from government control.
The crisis has led to further disruptions, including the suspension of Qatar Airways flights and the closure of UAE stock exchanges. The World Health Organisation has called for the protection of civilians and medical facilities amid the ongoing conflict.
