On February 28, Israel and the USA began strikes against Iran. Donald Trump announced the intention to eliminate the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic.The Iranian counterstrike was directed at Israel and US military facilities located in various countries in the Middle East, including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai (UAE), as well as Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
As a result of a joint operation by the US and Israel, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed, and his wife, Mansure Khodjasteh, also died from her injuries.
Trump stated that military actions in Iran would last about four weeks. In response to the aggression, Iran declared jihad against the USA and Israel, ruling out the possibility of negotiations.
The escalation of the conflict in the Middle East also affects Kyrgyzstan. Thousands of tourists have found themselves in a difficult situation in the UAE due to the conflict. Contacts for embassies and consulates for Kyrgyz citizens abroad can be found here.
