Iranian defense minister killed as US and Israel launch assault

Iranian media and sources linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have reported that the country’s acting defense minister Majid bin al-Reza, was killed in a strike allegedly carried out by Israel and the United States.

The latest attack is an Israeli army assault on him as one of the best commanders. He comes to power two days after he is assassinated by an ex-Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh. The Iranian red crescent has an awful count of the US and Israeli attacks. Death count hits 787. Over 1000 hits on more than 500 sites hit 153 cities. Rescue teams are rushing to assist people who are stranded in the wake of massive destruction.

UAE and Qatar are urging allies to support US President Trump to calm the situation with Iran. They demand a broad alliance to create quick diplomatic solutions. The two countries will not want to see the spread of conflict within the region. Leaders emphasize the necessity to escape spikes in prices of energies. Gulf countries are afraid of oil market anarchy due to endless contests. They demand negotiations to bring sanity and save international commerce.

Iran threatens to retaliate heavily as it loses. Government leaders accentuate the rapid change of leaders to maintain defenses. Mass demonstrations are seeking revenge on the dead. The world is following when diplomacy conflicts with military actions. The UAE and Qatar take the lead in the peace efforts with the hope of drawing big players.

It could mitigate the economic worries across the globe because of success. The Middle East is shaken by this escalation. Countries strike a balance at the expense of security and stability. New news likely soon on the number of dead and the way forward.
