A significant escalation in the Middle East conflict unfolded on 28 February 2026, when the **United States and Israel launched coordinated air and missile strikes against targets across the Islamic Republic of Iran, including in the capital Tehran. The joint military operation, part of what both governments describe as efforts to weaken Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities, has triggered widespread explosions, air raid sirens and visible damage in multiple Iranian cities.

Military sources report that hundreds of US and Israeli strikes hit strategic locations such as command centres, air defence sites and infrastructure in and around Tehran, with streets of the capital filled with smoke and emergency alerts sounded as blasts were heard throughout the city.

Iranian authorities have confirmed significant casualties, including at least 201 people killed and hundreds more injured in the initial phase of the strikes, while Iran’s defence forces have responded by launching missiles and drones toward Israel and US military positions in the region.

The offensive has also hit targets outside Tehran, with reports of confrontations across various provinces and major impacts on Iran’s air defence systems. US Central Command described the campaign as dealing “a major blow” to several critical military networks, while Iranian forces continued to retaliate with missile barrages at regional and US‑allied positions.

The violence comes amid mounting geopolitical tensions and reflects the sharpest expansion of hostilities between Iran and the US‑Israel alliance in decades, prompting international concern and calls for de‑escalation.
