Tensions in the Middle East were almost at its peak once again since the Iran-Iraq conflict. After the control of the region, numerous rebellious groups still co-existed, but now operating in smaller groups in the shadows against NATO forces. Anonymous and active supporters refused to let go, allying themselves with former rivals to fight for a greater cause for themselves, seeking for shelter in Iran. Hostile rebels began threatening to engage against middle eastern countries. For what is known, some oil distributors from UAE that were charged with corruption scandals against the government were hiding that some facilities taken by hostile terrorist groups have taken oil facilities alongside two power plants in the region, controlling part of the oil and power being distributed in Iran. Russia denied any direct involvement and support on the region, although russian PMCs were seeing training these rebels to fight against any military force that would threaten even to get close to the facilities, alongside russian military equipment being imported, specially with old tech but still in great quantity that would put fear even on the most well equipped countries located around the persian gulf. The systems would compose on standard assault rifles, AT equipment, AAAs, military armoured and transport vehicles plus a small number of aircrafts, mostly consisting of transport and attack helicopters. PMCs were also using their own equipment, and with what it seemed to be russian support by funding the purchase of an old fleet but still numerous fighters, with trainers to instruct rebellious pilots.

NATO has built a special flight wing regiment composed of many countries that would actively engage in the region against the unknown hostile forces, acting both on ground and air, alongside a voluntary fighter squadron, invited to test their equipment.
