On September 19 2060, Iran "accidentally" launched a nuclear warhead at Abu Dhabi. The Iranian government claimed that they had been hacked and that the nuclear bombing of Abu Dhabi was a false flag operation conducted by Israeli hackers. Saudi Arabia would hear none of it and launched retaliatory strikes at Iranian targets; Jordan and Turkey also joined them in addition to their allies planning an invasion. In response, Iran obliterated major cities belonging to SA (except Mecca), Jordan, Kuwait, UAE (Dubai), Oman, Turkey, Somalia, Egypt, and Libya.
