Since negotiations between the U.S. and Iran on the nuclear
program did not lead to a concrete agreement, on February 28, the
U.S. and Israel launched military airstrikes against Iran. In
response, Iran has since been striking Israel and U.S. military
targets in the region with missiles and drones.
On the first day of the military airstrikes on Iran, Iran's
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several
high-ranking military officials were killed. On March 8, the
Iranian Assembly of Experts unanimously elected Ayatollah Seyed Ali
Khamenei's son, Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei, as Iran's third supreme
leader.
From March 1 through March 5, the conflict expanded to include
various countries in the Middle East.
According to the U.S., at least eight people were killed, and
more than 140 were injured.
The conflict also seriously threatened the region's energy
infrastructure and maritime transport. Due to security tensions
around the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices on the world market rose
sharply, and a number of countries urged their citizens to leave
the region.
