Middle East Tensions: Evacuations & Riots

0:00On March 1st, here's the latest in global news. Tensions are heating up in the Middle East after recent military strikes by Israel and the United States. In Baghdad, supporters of Iraqi Shi'i armed groups clash with riot police using tear gas as they try to approach the United States Embassy in the Green Zone. Azerbaijan stepped in to help with evacuations from Iran amid the unrest. Over 38 hours, they brought out 192 people, including 82 of their own nationals by quickly issuing border permits. Those evacuated express thanks to Azerbaijan on their telegram channel for the fast support and smooth process. Russia's foreign ministry issued urgent advice to its citizens in Israel and Iran, urging them to head to safer areas within those countries or leave, altogether. The situation remains fluid, with governments monitoring closely and more evacuations possible as strikes continue to ripple across the region. Thanks to our sponsor for supporting today's coverage.
