A concentrated US‑ and Israeli‑led military campaign against Iran entered its third day as Tehran suffered fresh strikes and Iran retaliated with missiles and drone attacks on Israeli and US‑aligned targets.

Netanyahu Urges Immediate Strike on Iran, Citing New Underground Facilities After Khamenei’s Assassination

CENTCOM Rebuts Iran’s Claim of 560 U.S. Casualties — A New Front in Information Warfare
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed its strikes caused 560 U.S. casualties in the Middle East, a figure that U.S. Central Command publicly denied in a social-media "fact-check."

US and Israeli strikes on Iran initiated a rapid series of retaliatory attacks by Tehran, with both sides claiming significant battlefield effects.

Iran Says Its Forces Unharmed by US–Israeli Strikes, Warns It Can Retaliate Faster

The US Central Command reports striking over 1,000 targets since February 28, including what it described as IRGC headquarters, underscoring a tense cycle of kinetic action and diplomatic distrust.
Iran Releases Images Claiming Missile Strike on Israeli General Staff HQ; Israel Silent
Iran’s IRGC released images claiming a missile strike on Israel’s General Staff headquarters on March 1, showing a building on fire; Israel has not responded and independent verification is lacking.

Khamenei’s Killing and the Great Power Response: How a Decapitation Strike Is Accelerating Sino‑Russian Alignment
A reported U.S.-led strike that killed Iran’s supreme leader has provoked immediate retaliation claims from Tehran and an urgent diplomatic response from Beijing and Moscow.

In the 40 hours since US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Tehran has launched a sustained IRGC counteroffensive that targeted dozens of US and Israeli military sites across the region, disrupted Gulf shipping and inflicted civilian casualties. The confrontation has already driven regional instability, threatened global oil flows and triggered a rapid shift in Iranian leadership arrangements after state announcements of the Supreme Leader’s death.
