Tehran, February 28, 2026 (Agencies) — The United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran on Saturday, targeting what officials described as key military and strategic infrastructure, in a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
Explosions were reported in several parts of the Iranian capital Tehran, with smoke seen rising over parts of the city. Iranian authorities confirmed that air defenses were activated and airspace was temporarily closed following the attacks. Initial reports did not immediately provide confirmed casualty figures.
Israeli officials said the operation was a preemptive move aimed at neutralizing threats linked to Iran’s missile and nuclear infrastructure. The Israeli government declared a nationwide state of emergency, citing concerns over possible retaliatory strikes.
US officials confirmed American participation in the operation alongside Israel, stating that the strikes were directed at military facilities and installations associated with Iran’s strategic capabilities. Washington described the action as part of efforts to counter what it termed growing security threats in the region.
The escalation comes amid ongoing diplomatic friction over Iran’s nuclear program and recent sanctions imposed by the United States. Negotiations aimed at reviving nuclear agreements have faced repeated setbacks, contributing to heightened regional tensions.
Iranian authorities condemned the strikes, calling them a violation of sovereignty and warning of consequences. Officials in Tehran signaled that retaliation remained an option, raising fears of a broader regional conflict involving US and allied forces stationed across the Middle East.
International reactions have been swift, with several governments urging restraint and calling for de-escalation to prevent further instability. Security analysts warn that any sustained exchange between Washington, Tel Aviv and Tehran could significantly disrupt regional security and global energy markets.
The situation remains fluid, with further developments expected as both sides assess damage and consider next steps.
