The assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by Israel has significantly escalated tensions in the Middle East.
Nasrallah, a close ally of Iran, was a key figure in the ongoing conflict with Israel and the power struggles with Saudi Arabia and the US.
Iran's response to this act of aggression will determine the future of the conflict, with a potential for a wider war involving major global powers.
The world now awaits Iran's decision, which could either de-escalate the situation or lead to a catastrophic escalation.
