Middle East Nano-plague
2029-MENP had started in the Middle East region during the conflict between the Israelian coalition and Iranian coalitions over the ME region in the 2020s. The epicenter of the plague was spread by the destruction of the Kingdom Khalifa Tower (KKT) Saudi Arabia's newest 1km tower. The Iranian backed groups had claimed responsibility and the KKT was laced with billions of emergent but flawed nanotechnology intended to target organics in the proximity of radio signals used by Israelian coalition/US forces. The invasive nanotechnology particles were undetected when KKT fell. The winds spread it across the ME region and had initially settled inside the lungs and skins of those who were near radio signals. However, it started to spread and infect into the lungs of everyone that had been in the ME region and the winds carried it all over Europe, northern African states, India, Pakistan and Western parts of Russia.
MENp was only could infect through its insemination of ME winds and was limited to the numbers of particles that were laced within the 1km superstructure of KKT. The United States Marine Expeditionary forces, Saudi Arabian people and Israelian Protection Forces were heavily affected while the others in the ME region were mildly affected.
