War of 2014

The Global War of 2014 is a fictional worldwide conflict depicted in Battlefield 3, not counting the multiplayer action. It is between the United States of America, Russian Federation, and the People's Liberation and Resistance.

Background
Around March 2014, a rising insurgent group known as the People's Liberation and Resistance (PLR) have been seen increasing activity across the Iran-Iraq border and also parts of Iran as well. To reduce stability across the region Coalition Forces undergo some pacification operations, with US Marines leading the operation but however it was soon compromised as a devasting earthquake hit the area. Meanwhile a coup put the PLR in control of Iran with Faruk Al-Bashir as the person in power. Causing the United States Military to declare war against Iran. The United States sends 500,000 Marines and large amounts of combat forces to Iran in an effort to take down the insurgency. While US troops are still in Iran, miles away in the Indian ocean, the US navy launches an bombing campaign in and around Tehran and its airpots to cripple PLR air-power. Later on a U.S Marine is captured and is seen being interrogated by Faruk Al-Bashir in a broadcast to the United States. Another antagonist and possibly Faruk Al-Bashir's second in command, Solomon is the one carrying out the terror plots.

The PLR then makes world wide threats and attacks in several nations. Two of these locations are New York City and Paris, where Dmitri "Dima" Mayakovsky (a Russian goverment agent) helps the French police and goverment to prevent a nuclear device from going off in Paris. From this, it is obvious Russia's only envolvement in the conflict is to aid the coalition against the PLR, without getting directly involved.
