US EditionU.S. and Israel Continue Iran Conflict One Month After Operation Epic Fury
The conflict began with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes and has caused over 3,400 deaths, widespread regional disruptions, and a U.S. troop surge to the Middle East, officials say.
- On Feb. 28, the United States and Israel launched massive strikes on Iran targeting military and government sites. One month later, both countries remain engaged in the conflict, which has killed thousands across the wider Gulf region.

- As the conflict enters its 29th day, the Ministry of Health reports 24,175 people treated and discharged. Human rights groups estimate over 1,440 civilian deaths, including at least 217 children, from U.S. and Israeli strikes.

- Trump has threatened to strike Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by April 6. Israeli security officials told ABC News the operation requires "a few more weeks" to fully degrade military capabilities.
