The Middle East conflict has reached new heights as U.S. President Donald Trump supports Iranian Kurdish forces' attacks on Iran, amid growing regional tensions. Azerbaijan has reacted to Iranian drones crossing its border, while Israel and Iran engage in an escalating military offensive.

Iran has targeted several sites, including the U.S. Al Udied airbase in Qatar and other strategic locations across the region. Retaliation comes as Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launches new initiatives to counter perceived Israeli and U.S. aggression.
