The world is currently witnessing an unprecedented and dangerous escalation of military aggression against the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran. On February 28, 2026, a coordinated joint military operation codenamed Operation Epic Fury by the United States and Roaring Lion by Israel was launched against several major Iranian cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Qom.
According to verified reports from state media and international observers, these strikes were not limited to military infrastructure. The assault targeted the heart of Iran’s governance, along with several high ranking officials including the Commander of the IRGC and the Defense Minister.
This escalation has sparked global concern over civilian safety, regional stability, and respect for international law. World leaders and humanitarian organizations are urging immediate de-escalation to prevent further loss of life and the spread of conflict beyond Iran’s borders.
Let’s keep sharing what we learn and staying active in how we process the world.
