FEB 28, 2026

Oman announces Iran agreed to reduce nuclear stockpiles. Trump says he prefers diplomacy, but all options remain on the table.
FEB 6, 2026
US–IRAN TALKS (OMAN)
Indirect nuclear talks in Muscat mediated by Oman. Both sides describe discussions as "a good start." Deep mistrust remains.
JAN 8, 2026
IRAN — PROTESTS
Internet shut down nationwide. Anti-government protests spread to 100+ cities — largest unrest since 1979. IRGC and Basij deploy live fire.
JUNE 22, 2025
UNITED STATES
US strikes Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. UN watchdog says Iran's program set back by months.
JUNE 13, 2025
ISRAEL
Israel strikes Iranian nuclear and military facilities. Iran retaliates with large-scale missiles and drones. The first direct Israel–Iran 12-day war begins.
AUG 28, 2025
UK / FRANCE / GERMANY
E3 triggers snapback mechanism, reinstating UN sanctions on Iran for the first time in a decade.
🇺🇸 UNITED STATES
OFFENSIVE
US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Feb 28, 2026. Trump framed the operation as eliminating Iran's nuclear and military threat and targeting regime leadership. This marks the first time the US has directly participated in striking Iran alongside Israel.
🇮🇱 ISRAEL
OFFENSIVE
Israel struck Iran directly on June 13, 2025, sparking the first direct Israel–Iran war. A second, larger joint offensive began Feb 28, 2026. Israel previously degraded Hezbollah and Hamas, weakening Iran's regional proxy network.
🇮🇷 IRAN
RETALIATING
Iran retaliated with strikes on 27 US bases and closed the Strait of Hormuz. Khamenei and senior officials reportedly killed. Iran declared 40 days of mourning and vows further escalation. Iran's foreign minister called it a "war of choice."
🇾🇪 HOUTHIS (YEMEN)
PROXY

🌐 INTL COMMUNITY
MONITORING
UN Secretary-General condemned all strikes. EU expressed deep concern. UK bolstered defenses but did not participate. China and Russia condemned US/Israeli actions. UN Security Council held emergency session.
BACKGROUND
Tensions stem from decades of disputes over Iran's nuclear program and Iran's support for regional armed groups. The US withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018. Iran progressively reduced compliance; by early 2023 it could produce enough weapons-grade uranium within weeks.
JUNE 2025 WAR
Israel struck Iranian nuclear and military facilities on June 13, 2025, sparking 12 days of direct warfare — the first ever between Israel and Iran. A US-brokered ceasefire ended fighting on June 24.
FEB 2026 ESCALATION
Despite Oman-mediated diplomatic progress, the US and Israel launched a far larger "major combat operation" on Feb 28 — explicitly targeting regime change, nuclear sites, missiles, and Iran's naval capability.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The Strait of Hormuz — through which ~20% of global oil trade passes — is closed. Gulf airspace closed. International airlines suspended Middle East routes. Oil prices surging.
