Many big leaders including Khamenei died in this. 165 girls were killed in an attack on a primary school in Meenab.

Iran carried out a drone attack on the airport of Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan, injuring 4 people.

War spread on many fronts in a week

In the last one week, the war spread on many fronts. Pro-Iranian groups like Hezbollah and Houthi have also targeted Israel, in response to which Israel has bombed Beirut, Lebanon. It killed about 1,200 people in Iran, including 165 schoolgirls. 87 sailors were killed when a US submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, taking the conflict to India’s neighbourhood.

What were the effects of the war?

To take revenge from America, Iran attacked American facilities located in Israel, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE as well as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Palestine, Iraq and Jordan. Due to this, countries closed airspace. More than 11,000 flights were canceled in the last 7 days. Thousands of passengers got stuck due to this. The safety of citizens in these countries is in danger and the governments there have been forced to take counter measures.

Iran took this big step

Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz and attack any ship passing through it. 20 percent of global oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. This has affected the energy market and crude oil prices have increased by more than 10 percent. Natural gas prices have also increased rapidly in Europe and Asia. This has also created a global energy crisis.

What is the current status of the war?

This war is affecting about 14 countries in the Middle East and beyond. The intensity of Iran’s retaliation has also slowed down in the last few days. According to US Central Command, Iranian ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90 percent and drone attacks by 83 percent. Israel claimed to have achieved almost complete air superiority and said it had destroyed 80 percent of Iran’s air defense systems.

How long can this war continue?

Israel and America have not set any deadline for the war. President Donald Trump has given contradictory deadlines on the war’s duration. After the initial attacks, Trump said that the war could end in 2-3 days. A day later he increased this limit to 4 weeks. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said there is no specific timeline for the war. Now it remains to be seen who retreats first or a big war breaks out.
