Iran retaliates with attacks on multiple US military bases across the Middle East: Report

Iran launched missile and drone strikes on U.S. bases in five Middle Eastern countries after U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iranian sites, escalating regional conflict.

  • On Feb 28, 2026, US President Donald Trump announced `major combat operations` as US and Israeli strikes hit Iran, marking the latest in a series of conflicts.
  • Long-Standing tensions date to the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the US embassy hostage crisis, while a 2011 IAEA report says Iran carried out nuclear activities until at least 2003.
  • Key incidents include the Jan 3, 2020 killing of Qasem Soleimani, whom Trump said had been planning an `imminent` attack, and US strikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites on June 21, 2025, which Trump said were `obliterated`.
  • The two countries resumed indirect talks under Omani mediation in early February 2026, with Washington urging Iran to negotiate and Mr Trump setting a Feb 19 deadline of `10, 15 days, pretty much maximum` while deploying a US `armada`.
  • The US points to Iran's support for militant groups including Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, while Tehran insists its nuclear programme is solely civilian.
