War has been raging since the end of February
Since February 28, hundreds of targets have been attacked, including missile sites, Revolutionary Guard bases, and Iranian nuclear program facilities. Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the first attacks, along with several high-ranking military officials. Tehran responded quickly with counterattacks: missiles and drones were fired at Israel and US military bases in the Middle East, including Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq.
