What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

The U.S. military conducted operations against Iran starting on July 21, 2026, following a declaration of war on July 28, 2026, which targeted civilian infrastructure. These actions led to Iran targeting U.S. military facilities, prompting further U.S. attacks. Later, critics accused Donald Trump of lying about the military action, noting that the war is unpopular due to soaring food costs and high gas prices.
