U.S. and Israel launch strikes on Iran as explosions reported in Tehran

On Feb. 28, 2026, Israel launched a daylight attack on Tehran, with explosions and a plume of smoke reported as Iranian state television acknowledged a blast.
After weeks of rising tensions over Iran's nuclear program and U.S. President Donald Trump's threats, indirect talks in Geneva, Switzerland, on Feb. 26 occurred as the United States assembled a large fleet to pressure Iran.
Around 30 targets were hit with nearly 50 missile strikes, including Iran's Ministry of Intelligence, Ministry of Defense, Iranian Parliament building, and sites near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's office, the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency site, and Parchin military complex.
Iran closed its entire airspace and cut mobile services as Israel declared a state of emergency, sirens sounded nationwide, and essential services replaced schools and most workplaces.
An Israeli defence official said the operation was coordinated with the United States, planned for months, while Iran warned it would target American personnel, bases and neighbouring countries hosting U.S. troops.
