The situation in the Middle East is tense as Iran has issued threats of retaliation against Israel for recent military strikes. On November 1, the U.S. announced the deployment of B-52 bombers to the region to deter further conflict. This move comes after Iran`s Supreme Leader warned of a "crushing response" to any attacks from Israel or the U.S. The warning followed an Israeli strike on Iranian military sites in Tehran. The U.S. has cautioned Iran to avoid further actions that could escalate the situation, stating that any attacks would lead to severe retaliation. The tension has been rising since Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, prompting a series of military responses in the region.
