Iran
A large Farsi-speaking country in the Middle East which has seen a number of conflicts in recent decades. Following the 1979 revolution, Iran became an Islamic republic. Since then Iran has militarily supported various allies and proxies across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon. In 2025 the country fought a twelve-day war with Israel, with Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs heavily damaged - as well as the first large-scale American strikes inside Iran.

Current Filter

Iraq
A large country in the Middle East affected by conflict since a 2003 US-led invasion to overthrow dictatorial President Saddam Hussein. Since 2013 the Iraqi military, with the military support of a US-led Coalition, has fought the so-called Islamic State, while conflict between often sectarian militias continues. Turkey also conducts regular strikes against Kurdish militants in northern Iraq.
