A wide-ranging American-Israeli attack strikes deep within Iran following the collapse of the “Geneva Marathon.”
In the early hours of Saturday, February 28, 2026, a significant military shift occurred in the history of the regional conflict, as American and Israeli forces launched a large-scale air and missile assault targeting Iranian territory. The operation commenced around 2 AM Tehran time, following an official announcement of the failure of the latest round of nuclear negotiations in Geneva. The diplomatic efforts had reached a deadlock due to Tehran’s refusal to meet Washington’s demands for a comprehensive dismantling of enrichment facilities and the surrender of uranium stockpiles, transforming the political climate from cautious optimism about an imminent agreement to a direct military explosion.
The strikes were heavily concentrated on the capital, Tehran, with massive explosions heard near the presidential complex “Pastor” and the Revolutionary Guard’s intelligence headquarters. The list of targets extended to key facilities in Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah, specifically targeting ballistic missile development sites and advanced air defense systems, which were immobilized in the first wave of the attack by complex cyber operations preceding the airstrikes.
Initial assessments of the damage indicate significant structural losses to the military infrastructure of the Revolutionary Guard, including the destruction of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers, along with damage to facilities at “Mehrabad” military airport, causing a total paralysis of civil and military air traffic in the country.
As Iranian authorities impose strict restrictions on the flow of information and internet services, field reports suggest hundreds of casualties among military personnel and damage to civilian areas surrounding the targeted sites. Iran has already begun retaliating with missile barrages aimed at American bases in the Gulf and deep within Israel, placing the region in a scenario of open warfare that has crossed all the red lines set by international diplomacy in recent months.
