Attention: The situation is developing in real time. Information is based on official statements and reports from authoritative media as of February 28, 2026.
🔥 MAIN POINTS IN ONE MINUTE
US President Donald Trump officially announced the beginning of "major combat operations" on Iranian territory. The operation is conducted jointly with Israel and includes strikes from air, sea, and cyberspace [[19]].
📊 DEPLOYMENT SCALE
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Carrier Groups | USS Abraham Lincoln + USS Gerald R. Ford in region [[8]] |
| Aircraft | 500+ carrier-based and land-based units |
| Ships | 12+ combat units in CENTCOM zone, including destroyers and submarines |
| Strike Types | B-2 bombers, cruise missiles, carrier-based aviation, cyber operations |
The US has concentrated an unprecedented grouping: two nuclear aircraft carriers provide the capability for multi-wave campaigns across all of Iran's territory [[7]].
🎯 DECLARED CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES
According to Trump and Pentagon sources, the strategic goals of the operation:
✓ Complete destruction of Iran's nuclear infrastructure ✓ Neutralization of missile program ✓ Disabling of Iranian navy and IRGC units ✓ Protection of US interests and allies in the region
"We will destroy their missiles and crush the missile industry," Trump stated in an address on Truth Social [[19]].
📍 CONFIRMED STRIKE TARGETS
According to joint US-Israel statements, more than 30 targets have been hit, including:
- 🏢 Office of Iran's Supreme Leader (Tehran)
- 🛡️ Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Intelligence
- ☢️ Iranian Atomic Energy Agency
- ⚙️ Nuclear facility in Parchin and complexes in Isfahan
- 🚢 Port and naval facilities
Explosions have been recorded in central Tehran, with smoke observed over several military facilities [[23]].
💻 CYBER COMPONENT AND INFORMATION PRESSURE
Parallel to kinetic strikes, reports indicate:
- 🔹 Massive cyberattack on Iranian government servers
- 🔹 Hijacking of state TV channels with broadcasts calling for regime change
- 🔹 Coordination with opposition media to amplify psychological effects
Experts note: Cyber and psychological operations may be used both independently and in combination with traditional strikes to destabilize the enemy's command structure [[19]].
🇮🇷 IRAN'S RESPONSE
Iran's leadership qualifies the events as an act of aggression and attempt at regime change:
"Any attack will receive a crushing response. We are ready to defend the country's sovereignty by all available means," Tehran stated [[23]].
Expected:
- Missile strikes on US bases in the region (Qatar, Iraq, Bahrain)
- Activation of proxy forces in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq
- Escalation in the Strait of Hormuz
Israel has already declared a state of emergency and warned the population of possible retaliatory drone and missile attacks [[23]].
🌍 GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
🗓️ February 2026: • Failure of negotiations in Oman and Switzerland • Iran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment • Trump's ultimatum: "Deal or force" 🗓️ June 2025: • Previous US strikes on nuclear facilities Fordo, Natanz, Isfahan • Iranian retaliatory strike on Al-Udeid base (Qatar) • Short-term ceasefire mediated by the US
IAEA confirms: Despite the 2025 strikes, significant volumes of enriched uranium remain in Iran [[19]].
⚠️ WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
| Scenario | Probability | Consequences |
|---|---|---|
| Limited campaign (2-4 weeks) | Medium | Pressure on negotiations, oil price volatility |
| Full-scale conflict | Low-Medium | Regional war, energy price surge |
| Rapid ceasefire | Low | Diplomatic settlement under pressure |
Key indicators:
- Iran's retaliatory strikes on US bases
- Russia and China's reaction in the UN Security Council
- Brent/WTI oil price dynamics
- Statements from European allies
