What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The US-Israel military campaign against Iran began in February 2026, with stated goals including destroying Iran's missile and drone stockpiles and cutting off the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from its regional proxies. Despite the campaign continuing into its fifth month, reports indicate that these objectives have not been met, and Iran's enriched uranium remains in the country. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has continued to operate in Lebanon, dealing significant blows to Israeli Defense Forces in Southern Lebanon, while Israel and Hezbollah continue to trade strikes.

This region is a critical oil transit point, and the conflict involves the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatening to activate the Houthis to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
