This map shows US, Israeli, and Iranian attacks across the Middle East during the first 11 days of the Iran War.

This map shows refineries in Iran’s capital, Tehran, that have been attacked by US and Israeli forces.
The explosions created toxic plumes which rose over the city last weekend, mixing with moisture to create acid rain – which can burn skin and cause serious damage to the lungs.
This map shows where the US has been attacked across the Middle East since the Iran War began.
The US government announced yesterday that 140 US servicemembers have been injured since the war began, in addition to the 8 that have been killed.
We’re pleased to announce that Anuva Wardah has joined IGA as a research assistant.
Anuva is a senior at Stony Brook University, where she is pursuing a dual degree in Political Science and Sociology.
Congratulations to Anuva on her new position!

This map shows where oil is refined, shipped, and stored across the Middle East.
Much of the world’s oil comes from the Persian Gulf.
The US-Israel-Iran war threatens to stall production and shipping, as many of these sites are under attack.
This map shows flights and restricted airspaces in the Middle East following the US-Israel attack on Iran.
The war has rerouted air travel around the Persian Gulf.
This chart shows the price of crude oil, which has risen sharply in the days following the US-Israeli attack on Iran.
The price increase this week has been the largest spike since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This map shows the casualties of the US-Israel-Iran war.
Well over 1,000 people have been killed by US and Israeli attacks against Iran, with another 100+ killed in Lebanon.
Iran has killed ~26 people in its retaliatory attacks across the region.
Food shapes ideas of identity and nationalism - but it doesn’t often enter conversations about foreign policy.
On this episode of None Of The Above, host Jonathan Guyer is joined by @annygaul.bsky.social, a cultural historian, to explore the geopolitics of food in the Middle East.
This graphic shows the leadership structure of Iran, and the officials that have been killed by the US and Israel in the past few days.
President Trump today admitted that even most of the candidates for US-backed leadership of Iran had been killed in the attacks.
3/ Iran might bring foreign policy to voters’ attention.
Congress has failed to exercise its coequal policymaking role, something the public very much wants it to do.
Meanwhile, oil prices are skyrocketing, and there’s the potential of more American troops being killed.
2/ The war against Iran is deeply unpopular.
Six out of ten Americans disapprove of US military action against Iran, according to a new CNN survey.
Yet President Trump looks ready to expand the war.
1/ Trump campaigned as an anti-war candidate.
He seemed to recognize that such foreign-policy issues do resonate with voters.
Now, however, his campaign-trail nodding to the preferences of his base has become wholly inconsistent with his actual policies.
Nobody wants this war with Iran, writes IGA’s Jonathan Guyer.
The cost of waging it may include a reckoning for Trump’s party at the ballot box later this year.
