IRAN & USA: Explosions, Retaliation & a Tense World
A huge military escalation erupted on 28 Feb 2026 when the United States and Israel launched a massive joint attack on Iran, hitting strategic targets including missile sites, nuclear facilities and leadership locations in Tehran.   Iranian state media report the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sparking nationwide shock and fear.

In fierce retaliation, Iran fired missiles and drones at U.S. military bases and allied positions across the Gulf, triggering alarms from Bahrain to the UAE and raising fears of broader war.   Civilians have suffered casualties, chaos continues, and global leaders call urgently for de-escalation.

The world watches anxiously: Is diplomacy still possible — or is this the start of a much larger conflict?
