Admin’s Note

The missile attacks amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States could significantly impact international relations. It is important to consider questions like those raised by Chako about why such attacks are occurring. While it is fortunate that there were no casualties, if similar incidents continue, regional stability may be at risk. To deepen our understanding of international issues, we must actively gather information as well.
