Today, on February 28, 2026, Israel launched a major military attack on Iran and the United States confirmed it was participating in the strikes, with explosions reported in Tehran and other cities. According to officials, the operation was coordinated between the United States and Israel and described by Israel as “pre-emptive” to remove what they see as threats from Iran’s military and nuclear programs. Iran’s airspace and mobile networks were shut down as explosions hit parts of the capital and sirens sounded across the region. Israeli authorities declared a state of emergency and closed their own airspace to civilian flights while preparing the public for possible retaliation. There is no clear public count yet of casualties or the full extent of damage, as details are still emerging from the scene. The strikes come amid extremely high tensions over Iran’s nuclear activities and long-running disputes between Tehran, Washington, and Jerusalem. Global leaders and news outlets are watching closely to see how Iran responds in the coming hours and days.
