On 28 February 2026,
Israel and the
United States launched a joint attack on various targets in
Iran. The operation,
codenamed Roaring Lion by Israel and
Operation Epic Fury by the
United States Department of Defense, began with a series of strikes against locations in
Tehran,
Isfahan,
Qom,
Karaj, and
Kermanshah.
US president
Donald Trump announced that the United States had launched strikes on Iran alongside Israel. He called on members of the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to lay down their arms in exchange for immunity, warning that refusal would mean "certain death".
The initial attacks targeted key officials, military commanders, and facilities, including the compound of Supreme Leader
Ali Khamenei, which satellite images show was heavily damaged or destroyed. According to Trump and some Israeli officials, Khamenei was killed during the attack on the compound. [Confirmed 26-2-28] It was also reported that
Supreme National Security Council secretary
Ali Shamkhani was killed.
In retaliation, Iran launched dozens of
ballistic missiles throughout the
Persian Gulf and beyond, targeting Israel and US military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, the Yemen-based
Houthis announced that they would resume their
attacks in the Red Sea.
Trump declared that the objective was to destroy
Iran's missile and military capabilities, prevent
Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and ultimately
topple the regime. The strikes were condemned by the
United Nations and several uninvolved countries for undermining regional stability, while others condemned Iran's retaliatory strikes on other nations in the region. Critics of the strikes also called them illegal under domestic and
international law.
