US & ‘Israel’ at war with Iran | Day 21 coverage
The 2026 war between ‘Israel’, the United States, and Iran started on February 28 with the launch of Operation Epic Fury, a joint US-‘Israeli’ military campaign. Nearly 900 coordinated strikes were executed within the initial 12 hours, targeting Iranian missile systems, air defenses, military infrastructure, and senior leadership figures across multiple sites.
The operation resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous other high-ranking officials, with explicit objectives of preventing nuclear weapon development, dismantling ballistic missile capabilities, and advancing leadership change.
Iran initiated large-scale retaliatory missile and drone attacks against ‘Israeli’ settlements, US bases, and allied targets throughout the Middle East.
The escalation also encompassed disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian forces shut it down; heightening risks to global energy supplies.
Subsequent phases featured intensified ‘Israeli’ airstrikes on Iranian fuel depots and energy facilities in Tehran and surrounding provinces, complemented by US efforts to neutralize naval assets and remaining missile infrastructure.
The war produced over 2,000 reported deaths across Iran, ‘Israel’, and Lebanon.
Economic effects have included sharp increases in oil prices and interruptions to international shipping, prompting releases from strategic petroleum reserves to stabilize markets.

'Israeli' army says over 130 Iranian military sites hit in latest strikes
The 'Israeli' military said it carried out a new wave of airstrikes across Iran, targeting more than 130 sites linked to what it described as the country’s “terror regime.”
In a statement, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) said the strikes, conducted by the 'Israeli' Air Force over the past day, focused on western and central Iran based on military intelligence.
According to the IOF, the targets included ballistic missile launchers, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and air defense systems. The military said the operations are part of ongoing efforts to degrade Iran’s missile capabilities and defensive infrastructure.
The IOF added that it will continue strikes in the area to reduce threats against 'Israel' and expand its aerial superiority over Iranian territory.
The claims could not be independently verified.
