Israel Strikes Over 200 Targets in Iran Within 24 Hours — Liepāja Theatre Hasn't Seen That Many Visitors Since Last Century
Active operations continue in the Middle East, while in Liepāja, footsteps peacefully echo on Raiņa Street heading to the theatre.
Israeli fighter jets have conducted 20 large-scale attacks against Iranian targets, which is roughly as intensive as Liepāja Theatre's performance schedule — just with slightly bigger consequences.
Israel and the US began strikes against Iran on February 28th, which coincides with when Liepāja Theatre's new season starts and even people from Riga come to watch performances. Though they travel by less dramatic means than ballistic missiles.
"This time the conflict is like a good theatre performance — lots of action, tension builds, but nobody really knows how it will end," comments local observer Guntis from Graudu Street. "Only in the Middle East there's no intermission with champagne."
Iran has carried out retaliatory strikes, which is as predictable as the fact that after every Liepāja Theatre performance, the audience discusses artistic value at "Fontēns" café. Lebanon's "Hezbollah" has also joined the conflict, meaning the situation is becoming more complicated than trying to find a free parking spot at Liepāja Theatre on opening night.
