In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, a global conflict unfolds in 2011, triggered by a Russian ultranationalist named Imran Zakhaev who seeks to restore the Soviet Union's former glory. Zakhaev funds a coup in the Middle East, led by Khaled al-Asad, to distract from his own actions in Russia. The story follows the perspectives of a U.S. Marine Force Recon Sergeant and a British SAS commando as they battle against these forces in various locations like the Middle East, Russia, and Ukraine. The game's plot revolves around preventing Zakhaev and al-Asad from forming an alliance and launching nuclear weapons against the West. The SAS team, including Sergeant "Soap" MacTavish, Captain Price, and Gaz, discovers a nuclear warhead on a cargo ship in the Bering Strait. Simultaneously, the USMC fights against al-Asad's forces in the Middle East. A key part of the plot involves a joint British American operation to stop a nuclear launch from a base in Russia. The story culminates in a race against time to destroy the missiles before they reach their targets. Ultimately, Zakhaev is killed, and the immediate threat is neutralized, though the long-term consequences of the conflict remain.
