After the attack on Iran, retaliation in the Middle East, reports of damage in various places

On Saturday (February 28), there were allegations of joint attacks by the United States and Israel in Iran. Iranian sources claimed that attacks were carried out targeting various places and security-related installations in Tehran.

Iranian state and military sources said that the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several top security officials were killed in the attack. However, this could not be immediately independently confirmed. There was no official detailed statement from the United States or Israel.

### Iran's counterattack claim

After the news of Khamenei's death was released, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced retaliation. The organization claimed that it had launched missile and drone attacks targeting US military bases and Israeli military installations in the Middle East.

An IRGC statement said that 27 US bases in the region and military and defense-related installations in Tel Aviv were attacked.

### Israel and Gulf Situation

According to Israeli media, at least 40 buildings in Tel Aviv were damaged in the Iranian attack and more than 200 residents were evacuated to safe places.

The United Arab Emirates' Defense Ministry said that more than 100 missiles and drones were fired towards its airspace. According to the country's claim, 137 missiles and 209 drones were launched on Saturday.

Local sources reported that explosions were heard in several countries, including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

### Regional Impact

In the context of the retaliatory attacks, several countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, temporarily closed their airspace.

In a statement released on Sunday morning, the IRGC said that it warned that retaliatory measures may continue.

There is growing concern in the international community about the current situation. The exact number of casualties and the extent of damage are not yet known, pending official full statements from the parties involved and independent verification.
