    This is a stupid hed. We can go without “From Iran to Ukraine” and get the same point across.

    “From X to Y” constructions rarely hold up in proper journalism. So, “everyone” is in a very small geographic region? From Iran to Ukraine necessarily excludes, oh, say, the U.S., Russia, China. Also, anything several miles from the Caucasus.
