Country by country, here’s how the unfolding war is affecting the Middle East and beyond

The broadening Iran war has ricocheted across the region and beyond, with nearly every country in the Middle East sustaining damage from missile hits, drone strikes or shrapnel. Many are reporting casualties, and key embassies, economic engines and passageways have closed down. On Thursday, with the conflict's footprint growing, Azerbaijan accused Iran of carrying out a drone attack against it.
