Israel Launches New Strike on Tehran

The strikes followed a joint U.S.-Israel operation killing Khamenei and triggered retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the Middle East, raising regional instability risks.

  • On March 1, 2026, the Israeli military struck central Tehran, causing a massive explosion that sent a huge plume of smoke and shook the ground.
  • Saturday's joint U.S.-Israel operation that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, officials say, was planned for months and followed unsuccessful nuclear talks and warnings from Trump.
  • Local and semiofficial accounts indicate a girls' school in southern Iran was struck, killing at least 115 people, and several Khamenei family members, including a daughter and child, died according to semiofficial Fars news agency and Israeli sources.
  • Iran responded by launching missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, while flights across the Middle East were disrupted and air-defence fire continued into Sunday morning.
  • Iran's Cabinet vowed revenge and the IRGC threatened the 'most intense offensive operation', risking the Strait of Hormuz and global markets, as it moves to fill the power vacuum.
