Key Findings

• The United States and Israel launched a wave of military strikes against multiple locations across Iran, targeting senior regime leadership and military assets, provoking retaliatory Iranian strikes against U.S. military bases in the region and Israel. The attack, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury,” began overnight (February 27-28, 2026) and is expected to continue for several days, creating near-term uncertainty around regional stability, Iran’s use of proxies, and energy prices.
• U.S. and Israeli military assets bombed key security and political targets across the country and in the capital city Tehran, including the residence of Iran’s supreme leader; ballistic missile caches on the peripheries of the country were also targeted.
• Iran retaliated by firing a barrage of missiles and drones at Israel and U.S. bases in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain; the U.S. military is reported to have intercepted multiple Iranian missiles.
• Oil prices are beginning to rise, almost certainly over the uncertainty resulting from the conflict’s fallout.
• At least two injuries have been reported in the Israeli cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv, while no U.S. casualties have been reported; there are also unconfirmed reports that several senior Iran regime figures have perished.
