Since February 28, the United States and Israel have been conducting airstrikes against targets in Iran as part of operation Epic Fury (American) and operation Roaring Lion (Israeli). In retaliation, Iran has begun targeting sites in Israel and several Gulf countries allied with the U.S., including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The ongoing conflict indicates a significant escalation in military actions between these nations.

On the night of Monday to Tuesday, Israel reportedly carried out a series of airstrikes within Iran, targeting key figures within the Iranian security apparatus. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed that among those killed in recent strikes was Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. However, Iranian officials have not yet confirmed these reports, leaving uncertainty about the accuracy of the claims and the evolving situation.

The situation raises concerns about the potential for broader conflict in the region, with calls for peace emphasized by former Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Szejna, who stressed the importance of ending the war as soon as possible. As tensions rise, the international community watches closely to see how both Iran and Israel will respond to these developments, and whether diplomatic efforts can be restarted to de-escalate the ongoing aggression in the area.
