The struggle started on 28 February

This conflict started on Saturday (28 February). In fact, America and Israel had carried out several attacks in Iran, in which Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and many other senior officials were killed. Both countries had described it as a major military operation. Iranian state media later confirmed Khamenei’s death in the attacks, leading to a dramatic increase in hostilities and widespread retaliatory attacks.

Since then, the exchange of attacks and counter-attacks has intensified across the region, in response to which Iran has targeted Israeli assets, US military bases, and strategic locations in the Gulf region.
