Summary. On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel initiated "Operation Epic Fury," a massive, coordinated military campaign against Iran. The campaign has targeted military, nuclear, and leadership sites across Iran, resulting in the martyrdom of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – the most influential figure remaining from the Islamic Republic's founding generation. His demise marks a turning point not only for the region but also for the whole world, as it will have serious implications for global energy security, the economy and many other areas of life.
