U.S. major combat operations against Iran reportedly began at approximately 8:15 AM local IRST time on February 28, 2026 (or 2345, February 27, 2026 Washington, DC time).

The announcement was made in conjunction with Israel's declaration of a preemptive military strike against Iran amid escalating tensions between the two nations.

The operation is a coordinated strike involving both Israeli and U.S. forces targeting Iranian military positions.

Israeli officials described the strike as necessary to neutralize imminent threats from Iran, particularly concerns about missile and drone attacks aimed at Israel.

This operation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, highlighting the heightened military readiness in the region.

Iran's attacks against the US began 37 years ago.
