The 2026 Iran War was a major military conflict that began on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched surprise airstrikes on Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other officials. Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes across the Middle East and closed the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global oil supplies. The war escalated regional tensions, caused significant economic damage, and led to a ceasefire in April 2026 after intense international pressure.
