On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes on Iran — codenamed Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion — killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and over 40 senior officials, plunging the Islamic Republic into an unprecedented leadership crisis. As Iran retaliates with missile strikes across nine countries, Hezbollah opens a second front from Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz faces effective closure, and oil prices surge, the conflict has spiraled into the most dangerous Middle Eastern conflagration in decades, with President Trump projecting a four-to-five-week campaign and the death toll climbing past 555 in Iran alone.
