Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel and the United States launched coordinated strikes against Iran to “remove the existential threat” posed by the Iranian regime.
In a recorded message, Netanyahu said the joint operation was carried out because Iran’s government has expressed hostility toward both Israel and the United States and poses a serious security risk, especially given long‑running disputes over nuclear and missile programs. He also thanked U.S. leadership for its role in the operation.
The military action, which began on February 28, 2026, involved strikes on multiple locations within Iran. U.S. officials described the action as part of broader “combat operations,” and both countries cited the need to counter capabilities that they believe could threaten their nations and allies. Explosions were reported in Tehran and other Iranian cities, and Iran has publicly warned of potential retaliation.
The response underscores a sharp escalation in tensions in the Middle East. With Iran’s leadership reportedly moved to secure locations and communication networks disrupted, the situation remains highly fluid. Airspace closures and emergency measures are in place in parts of the region as officials monitor for further military movements and possible counter‑strikes.
Details about casualties, full military objectives, and long‑term outcomes are still emerging as governments and observers continue to assess the situation.
