This is how the war against Iran has spread

The Israeli and US military offensive on Iran on 28 February and the subsequent Islamic Republic responded to 16 countries in the Middle East. Iran has already recorded 1,200 deaths and 12,000 injuries and more than 400 deaths in Lebanon. 14 countries in the Persian Gulf have denounced attacks by the Khamenei regime.

On that day, in compliance with previous threats, Israel and the United States launched a joint military operation against Iran and the United States killed its supreme leader, Ali\u.A.

These are the countrieshitherto involved in the war:

Iran

As Netanyahu and Trump announced, the attacks were aimed at eliminating the ayatollah regime — whose leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed on 28 February — and destroying its military and nuclear facilities. The Israeli army has bombed the capital Tehran and the north, west and centre of the country on a daily basis. The attacks have destroyed military targets and fuel tanks.

The regime, now under Mojtaba Khamenei, has promised a "violent response to the enemy," and has warned countries that support the US.

Lebanon

Two days after the Israeli and US attacks on Iran, the Lebanese militia Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel. Since then, Tel Aviv has launched violent air strikes against Lebanon,killing 394 people, including 83 children, and wounding 1,130, according to data released by Public Health Minister Rakan Nasreddine.

The Lebanese Government, caught up in the interests of Iran and the United States, begins intense diplomatic relations to stop the conflict. The authorities want to avoid further destruction at all costs in a country that was still waiting for international funds to undertake reconstruction after the previous war.

Israel

It's hard to know what's going on in Israel. The exact places that Iran has targeted are unknown, because Israeli military censorship does not allow them to be published, especially if they damage critical or military infrastructure. As for the number of casualties, it is estimated that a dozen people have been killed and 2,000 injured. On Monday, Israel reported two deaths and one critical injury in Yehud, a town near Ben Gurion airport.



Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has announced that Israel will continue its offensive against Iran "with all its might," and has argued that the attacks are "changing the face of the Middle East." Indeed, it is Israel that is most interested in prolonging the offensive, which seeks to strike the map of the region once and for all and to shape the political board.

The U.S. Army, in cooperation with Israel during this war, has also suffered casualties. Eight American soldiers have been killed by Iranian attacks in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi authorities began to say a week ago that drones and missiles were being detected in the air; however, Riyadh initially did not say who might be behind these attacks.

The situation changed on Sunday, March 8. Two people were killed and 12 others injured when a military shell hit a residential area in Al Jarj province, south-east of the Saudi capital.

Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry on Monday condemned Iran's attacks on the country, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council and other "Arab, Islamic and friendly nations." The Saudi authorities have confirmed that "they have every right to take all necessary measures to protect their security and sovereignty."

United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates has several American bases on its territory and has been another country attacked by Iran. According to data from the Ministry of Local Defence, hundreds of missiles and nearly 1,400 drones have been intercepted since the beginning of the Iranian offensive. Most of them, according to these sources, have been destroyed and only two Iranian ballistic missiles have hit the country.

The Ministry of Defence reiterates its readiness "to deal with any threat and to courageously address anything aimed at destabilizing the security of the State".

Qatar

Qatar is another country in the Persian Gulf that has been the subject of retaliatory attacks by US military bases on its territory. Last Monday, the Ministry of Defence announced the shooting down of two SU-24 aircraft from Iran and the "successful" interception of seven ballistic missiles and five drones.

Kuwait

All U.S. allied countries have been hit hardest by Kuwait. Six people, including one girl, have died and dozens have been injured. Iran has attacked U.S. centers and bases, the headquarters of the Public Social Security Organization (IPSS), and two fuel tanks at Kuwait International Airport, causing heavy fire and material damage.

Bahrain

Iran has also launched attacks on Bahrain in the presence of several US military bases. The Bahraini Ministry of Health has reported one dead and about 40 injured, four of them seriously.

Azerbaijan

The Government of Azerbaijan, which initially refused to use its territory for operations against Iran, has accused the Iranian regime of attacking Najichevan airport with drones 10 kilometres from the Iranian border in the south-west of the country and causing one death. "As a result of the attack, the airport was damaged and four civilians were injured.

However, Iran has denied any involvement in the attack and has stressed Israel's potential responsibility, while ordering an investigation to clarify what happened.

Iraq

Iraq, with a Shia majority, is one of the countries most critical of the attacks on Iran and has declared three days of national mourning for the "martyrdom" of Khamenei. During these days of attacks, Iraq has also received missiles and bombs of unknown origin, which have mainly affected the settlements of the militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces. These groups are diverse but mostly Shia and Iranian followers.

This Saturday, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was attacked with rockets of unknown origin, but all of them were intercepted by the air defense system, as well as reports of drone attacks at an American base near Baghdad International Airport.

On the other hand, the Armed Forces have launched several attacks on positions of Kurdish groups in Iraqi Kurdistan. At least one member of an opposition Kurdish party has been killed in the attacks.

Jordan

Iran has fired 60 missiles and 59 drones at "crucial" facilities in Jordan. These attacks have injured 19 people. The Jordanian authorities have condemned the attacks. They have stressed that since the start of the escalation, "they have tried to avoid war in the region by diplomatic means. The Kingdom's main concern is to preserve its security and that of its citizens."

Oman.

Oman reported that near its coast, one person was killed and several injured in an unmanned boat attack on an oil tanker flying the Marshall Islands flag.

Sri Lanka

The conflict splashed Sri Lanka last week. An American submarine attacked an Iranian frigate with a torpedo as it returned from an Indian exercise. The attack took place in international waters of the Indian Ocean. The ship had about 180 sailors and ended up completely sunk. 84 bodies were recovered.

Sri Lanka authorities have argued that rescue operations began in accordance with international law and have stressed that "they have no intention of cooperating with the parties in this incident".

Cyprus

The British Acrotiri base on the island of Cyprus was attacked with a drone. Although the action did not cause casualties, the incident raised the security alert and highlighted the growing exposure in Cyprus, which is less than 250 kilometres from Lebanon.

The British Government initially reported that the projectile was Iranian production, but subsequently confirmed that it had not come from the Iranian regime.

Turkey

The Turkish Army has announced that NATO air systems have neutralized at least two missiles supposedly launched from Iran. There have been no casualties, but Ankara has insisted that "all necessary measures will undoubtedly be taken against any threat to the territory and airspace".

However, Iran has denied any attack on Turkey.
