US and Israel Launch Coordinated Strikes on Iran Amid Retaliatory Attacks

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes on Iran, targeting nuclear, military, and leadership sites, including Tehran. The operations, named Epic Fury (US) and Roaring Lion (Israel), aimed to neutralize Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was reported killed, though some sources remain uncertain. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Israel and US bases in the Gulf, causing casualties and regional airspace closures. The conflict has escalated tensions across the Middle East, raising concerns about broader instability and diplomatic setbacks.
