[ WP ] Multiple nuclear explosions wipe out several cities in the middle east , but noone knows who deployed the weapons . This is the resulting UN emergency meeting .

PART 1: What Happened 
 
 It was utter devastation. Every major country in the Middle East was hit, hard. Each one had its two major cities completely leveled. The death tolls will be like nothing the world has ever seen. 
 
 Perhaps worst of all, this happened over the course of 4 hours. 
 
 First, it was Israel—Jerusalem and Tel Aviv both destroyed. Of course, the blame was almost immediately cast upon Iran—until both Tehran and Mashhad were attacked just 30 minutes afterward. 
 
 In between these events was the destruction of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. 
 
 Israel, Palestine, and Iran are in ruins—all within 45 minutes of one another. Every single major world government is at a loss. No one knows what is happening, or who is responsible. 
 
 An emergency meeting of the UN is organized. Most ambassadors are present, some continue to trickle in as the minutes pass. 
 
 The last members to arrive are those of the afflicted countries. Their entry is almost ceremonious. The Israeli and Iranian ambassadors—long-time adversaries—walk in together, sharing their brokenness. And in an act of unprecedented humanity between the two entities, Israel ’ s Danny Danon brings Dr. Riyad H. Mansour, the Palestinian envoy to the UN assembly, despite Palestine not being a member country. This will be a day of great significance for these countries. Some people wonder, maybe there will be life coming forth from these deaths. 
 
 Moments after their arrival, once the applause and tears have subsided, new reports from the region rush in almost immediately. And again, the news is unthinkable. 
 
 The new prevailing theory had been that ISIS possibly orchestrated these atrocities. This blame is almost as quickly discarded as the Iranian one. Baghdad and Mosul of Iraq are gone. Aleppo and Damascus in Syria are reduced to rubble. The struggle and war in these cities has been waging for years, now they lay silent in the aftermath of unimaginable evil. An evil that has yet to be identified. 
 
 These are a unique set of circumstances, in that no group has claimed responsibility for anything up to this point—only blame. And where the blame goes, so goes the attacks. Everyone on earth is beside themselves. Rich, poor, politician, constituent, everyone is affected. 
 
 Just before the meeting begins, Ankara and Istanbul suffer the same fate as the others. The ambassador from Turkey openly weeps. 
 
 As the gavel falls—more lightly than usual—to open the meeting, the look of terror and apprehension is clearly worn on the faces of those representing Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and others in the region.
