Just as Alex promised, a mere two weeks after he had left the country of Iran on amicable terms, a major international incident occurred. While Alex had ensured that enough time had passed to avoid arousing suspicion of involvement, he also planted all kinds of trails leading to the alleged perpetrators of the event.
It was a time of war, a time of chaos in the middle east. Hell, it had been for decades. But recently things were escalating between Israel and Iran. Because of this, there were frequent attacks exchanged between the two nations, some of which involved the use of their allies.
And although relations were improving between the likes of Israel and Saudi Arabia, this was not a convenient excuse for pinning the blame on Jasmine's "death." Luckily for Alex, Saudia Arabia, and its allies were already at war with one of Iran's proxies in Yemen.
