- 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.

- 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.
