On February 28, Israel and the US launched a series of strikes against Iran, including the capital, Tehran. This is a continuation of the bombing campaign that began in June 2025, according to Suspilne Movlennya and the PromPolitInform portal.
US President Trump accused Iran of funding and training militants in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Hamas in Palestine and stated that the goal of the operation is to destroy Iran’s missile industry.
In response, Iran launched a wave of missiles and drones against targets in Israel and American military bases in the Middle East. Explosions were heard in Israel, Bahrain, home to the US navy in the Middle East, Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The attack on Iran occurred hours after Trump said he was “not happy” with the latest negotiations with Iran regarding its nuclear program. In recent weeks, the US has increased its military presence in the region.
