How the Conflict Began

On February 28, 2026, the governments of the United States and Israel announced the start of coordinated military strikes against multiple targets in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

According to military briefings and reporting by major outlets, the operations involved air and missile strikes on military infrastructure, air defenses, command centers, missile launch sites, and leadership headquarters across several Iranian cities.

The campaign represents one of the most significant escalations in Middle East hostilities in decades.

Israeli officials identified their portion of the campaign as Operation Lion’s Roar, while the U.S. Department of Defense referred to its actions as Operation Epic Fury.
