#USIsraelStrikeIran

On February 28, 2026, Israel, in coordination with the United States, launched a significant military strike against multiple targets in Iran, marking one of the most serious escalations in Middle East tensions in recent years. The operation reportedly involved air strikes on Iranian military infrastructure, leadership compounds and missile sites, with explosions heard in Tehran and other cities, and sirens activated in Israel as both sides engaged in hostilities. Iranian authorities reported civilian casualties, including an attack on a girls’ school in Minab that killed dozens of children and wounded many more, while Tehran vowed a “decisive response”, launching missile and drone strikes toward Israeli territory and U.S. bases in the region. The conflict has triggered international concern, affected regional airspace advisories, and raised fears of broader destabilization as diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear and missile programs have stalled. �
