US and Israel Launch Major Combat Operations in Iran for Regime Change
The United States and Israel have launched a series of major combat operations against Iran, targeting the capital city of Tehran and various strategic sites across the nation. President Donald Trump announced the offensive in the early hours of February 28th, 2026, citing an unending campaign of bloodshed by the Iranian regime. This significant escalation follows a pre-emptive strike by Israeli forces, as confirmed by Defense Minister Israel Katz, with the stated objective of achieving regime change. Beyond the Middle East, global stability faces further challenges with the expiration of the New START nuclear treaty, leaving the U.S. and Russia without nuclear limits for the first time in decades. Meanwhile, trilateral peace talks involving Ukraine and Russia have commenced, and TikTok has finalized a structural deal to separate its American operations.
