U.S. and Israel launch strikes on Iran as explosions reported in Tehran

The preemptive strikes targeted Iran's military and government sites near Supreme Leader Khamenei's office amid nuclear tensions, with no immediate casualty reports, officials said.

  • Explosions were reported in Tehran as Israel and the United States conducted coordinated strikes on February 28, 2026.
  • Stalled nuclear talks mediated by Oman failed to produce a deal, prompting pressure tactics as Washington recently deployed jets and warships, and Israel coordinated months of planning with Washington.
  • Explosions struck near the offices of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, witnesses and state media reported, with at least three blasts heard and thick smoke over Tehran's Pasteur district.
  • Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it hit the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and other targets, and a strike on a school killed 24 people, Iranian officials reported.
  • Analysts expect a sharp 'war premium' on crude at the Monday market open as the Strait of Hormuz, chokepoint for 20 percent of the world's oil supply, is now a war zone.
