 ‘massive and ongoing’ 

strikes in Iran

Smoke rises on the skyline after an explosion in Tehran, Iran on February 28, 2026.

Here's the latest

• Explosions have been reported in multiple Iranian cities including the capital Tehran after Israel and the US launched strikes Saturday morning. The US military is planning for several days of attacks, according to two sources.

• US President Donald Trump described the military campaign as “massive and ongoing,” adding American lives may be lost as a result.

• Trump advocated for regime change, calling on Iranians to “take over your government.” He also accused Tehran of working to rebuild its nuclear program after massive US strikes last summer he previously claimed had obliterated the facilities.

• Tehran has long maintained that its nuclear program is for civilian purposes only. Iran’s state media said the country is preparing for a “a crushing response” to the attacks.
