Tensions in the Middle East reached a boiling point on October 1, when Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles into Israel. The attack was in retaliation for the Israeli killing of key figures, including Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Abbas Nilforoushan, and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. This marked a significant escalation in the already volatile region, which has been in turmoil since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
