WW3

Long-running tensions between Iran and Israel, which previously took the form of Israel regularly bombing the IRGC and its allies like Hezbollah in Syria, dramatically worsened since the start of the latest Israeli-Hamas War. The most recent development at the time of writing is Israel assassinating Hamas’ political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran at the end of July. He was attending newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian’s inauguration and was killed by an explosive projectile that hit his guesthouse.
