# IN TESTING # Following Israel's successful assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on 27 September 2024, and Iran's retaliatory missile strike against Israel on 1 October, tensions in the Middle East have never been higher. The region is in chaos, with civilians fleeing Beruit by any means possible, causing local air traffic to be unusually congested.
Iranian Admirals are pragmatic, and understand they are severely outmatched. As such, they have instructed daily intercept training sorties. You are on one such sortie when your ground-based Early Warning Station becomes victim of a sophisticated cyber attack, a likely precursor to an Israeli attack. Resorting to World-War-2-era lines of communication, with ground sensors phoning the ops room who in turn will relay messages back to you in the air, you will defend Iran against an Israeli strike package, ensuring you do not endanger an already congested civilian airspace.
