Military Operations in Iran

The United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes on Iran on February 28 2026, escalating a major crisis in the Middle East.

Explosions have been reported in Tehran and other Iranian cities including Isfahan and Tabriz as part of the offensive. Operation Epic fury.

The operation has been described by the U.S. as “major combat operations” aimed at degrading Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities and countering what Washington calls an imminent threat.

U.S. and Israeli Objectives

U.S. President Donald Trump framed the mission as necessary to defend American interests and prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear threat; the strikes reportedly include targeting military infrastructure and leadership figures.

Israeli leaders said the strikes were aimed at eliminating what they regard as an existential threat posed by Iran’s military and nuclear programs.

Iran’s Response

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly launched missile attacks at U.S. bases and assets across the Gulf region, including near Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE.

Iran’s government has vowed a decisive response and condemned the attacks as aggression, urging the U.N. Security Council to act.

Impact and Reactions

Panic and disruption are reported inside Iran, with civilians seeking safety, long queues for fuel, schools closed, and high civilian anxiety.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the strikes as “unprovoked aggression” and warned the conflict could have serious humanitarian and regional security consequences.

Iranian Bases Attacked in 2025

On June 22, 2025, the U.S. military executed "Operation Midnight Hammer" conducting massive airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—using B-2 stealth bombers and submarine-launched missiles.

The strikes caused severe damage, marking a major escalation in the 2025 Israel–Iran conflict, followed by Iranian retaliatory missile launches against U.S. bases in Qatar

Attack on Iranian Nuclear Sites in 2025

The largest U.S. military action directly against Iran in 2025 occurred on June 22, 2025, when the United States launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

This operation targeted three major sites highlighted on the map above.

Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant
Natanz uranium enrichment facility
Isfahan nuclear technology center

The assault involved B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropping GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (bunker-buster bombs) and Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from submarines and warships.

The U.S. assessed that the strikes caused “extremely severe damage” and set back Iran’s nuclear development capabilities; Iran acknowledged significant damage.

In immediate retaliation on June 23, 2025, Iran launched missiles at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, part of a broader campaign of counter-strikes against U.S. and allied forces in the region.

Qatar’s defense systems intercepted most incoming missiles.

A ceasefire was announced around June 24, halting the most intense phase of conflict between U.S./Israeli forces and Iranian targets.

Israeli Attack in Iran (Operation “Rising Lion”) 2025

Though not exclusively a U.S. action, the Israeli military launched a significant strike on Iranian territory in June 2025, which shaped the wider conflict.

On June 13, 2025, Israel hit over 100 targets across Iran, including nuclear and missile facilities, military command centers, and leadership sites. This marked a major escalation—the most extensive Israeli strike on Iranian soil in decades.

Following these strikes, Iran responded with hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones launched toward Israel, though many were intercepted. This deepened regional hostilities in the lead-up to America’s direct engagement later in June.

U.S. Iran Conflict Background

Historical turning point: 1953 Coup

In 1953, the U.S. and the U.K. helped overthrow Iran’s democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, after he nationalized the country’s oil industry.

This intervention installed the pro-Western Shah of Iran and left a long-lasting legacy of distrust toward the U.S. among many Iranians.

1979 Islamic Revolution and Hostage Crisis

In 1979, a popular revolution overthrew the Shah and brought Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamic Republic to power.

Later that year, Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and held 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days. This crisis deeply damaged relations and led to decades of hostility.

Ideological and strategic rivalry

The Iranian government’s theocratic, anti-Western ideology opposes American influence in the Middle East, while the U.S. views Iran as a destabilizing actor in the region.

The U.S. accuses Iran of supporting militant groups (like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthi rebels) and of pursuing nuclear weapons ambitions — accusations Tehran denies or frames as defensive.
