Israel and the United States have been conducting airstrikes on Iran since Saturday, February 28, which resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Since then, Tehran has retaliated by striking Israel and other countries in the region with missiles and drones.
Additionally, Iran has enforced a naval blockade on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, targeting oil tankers that attempted to transit.
