U.S. and Israel Continue Iran Conflict One Month After Operation Epic Fury
The conflict began with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes and has caused over 3,400 deaths, widespread regional disruptions, and a U.S. troop surge to the Middle East, officials say.
- On Feb. 28, the United States and Israel launched massive strikes on Iran targeting military and government sites. One month later, both countries remain engaged in the conflict, which has killed thousands across the wider Gulf region.
- Prior to the strikes, the U.S. attempted to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran. President Donald Trump expressed he was "not happy" with the negotiations, a day before launching military action.
- As the conflict enters its 29th day, the Ministry of Health reports 24,175 people treated and discharged. Human rights groups estimate over 1,440 civilian deaths, including at least 217 children, from U.S. and Israeli strikes.
- The Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in supplemental funding and preparing to surge 5,000 troops to the Middle East. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has halted shipping, driving sharp spikes in global oil prices.
- Trump has threatened to strike Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by April 6. Israeli security officials told ABC News the operation requires "a few more weeks" to fully degrade military capabilities.
