- On February 28, 2026, Israel and the United States launched coordinated strikes on Iran, and Israeli officials told The Associated Press that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed.

- Iran retaliated by firing missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, while the U.N. Security Council said it would meet Saturday and Iran requested an urgent IAEA Board session.
- Analysts cautioned regime change is not guaranteed despite months of weakening strikes on Iran's military and warned the strikes could threaten global markets and the Strait of Hormuz, which carried a third of worldwide oil exports in 2025.
