Iran responded by attacking Israel, Bahrain, the Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait

The main thing at this hour is about the aggravation of the situation in the Middle East:

Iranian State Television reported that the country's armed forces are attacking American bases throughout the region.;

An explosion was heard in Kuwait, alarms are sounding, Al Arabiya reports. The country has temporarily closed its airspace — Al Jazeera;

The explosion also occurred in the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, and the country closed its airspace, CNN reported.;

The service center of the US 5th Fleet in Bahrain came under rocket fire (on video) — Bahrain News Agency;

Al Jazeera correspondent reports on new powerful explosions in Jerusalem;

Israel's military operation in Iran is expected to last at least until the end of the weekend. The attack includes the launch of Tomahawk missiles from the sea and air-launched missiles from US Air Force and Navy aircraft, The Washington Post writes, citing an American official.;

The Lebanese prime minister warned against "dragging the country into an adventure." This was probably an indirect message to Hezbollah calling for it not to support Iran, CNN reports.;

In Iran, the Internet connection to the network is almost completely disabled — only 4%, according to the NetBlocks organization.

Explosions in Tehran After Israeli 'Preemptive' Strike

Israel carried out a strike against Iran on the morning of February 28. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation. Authorities in Tehran recorded at least three explosions, which preliminary reports indicate occurred in the center of the capital.

Israel Katz also confirmed US involvement in the attack on Iran. He stated that planners had worked on the operation for several months and selected the launch date several weeks ago.

Iran Launches Missiles as Air Defenses Activate

Iran responded by firing missiles toward Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported the launches on its official Telegram channel.

"The IDF detected missiles launched from Iran toward Israeli territory. Defense systems are operating to intercept the threat (…). Sirens sounded in several areas of the country following the detection of the missiles,” the statement said.

The Israeli Home Front Command urged residents to act responsibly and follow official instructions. Authorities instructed civilians to remain in protected areas and stay there until further notice.

Tomahawk Missiles and US Navy Destroyers Near the Region

Earlier, Iran had warned that it stood ready to carry out a devastating retaliatory strike after Israeli attacks.

On the morning of February 28, Israeli forces described their action as a "preemptive” strike on Iran.

Cruise missiles identified by eyewitnesses over Iraq may have originated from United States Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, according to the Telegram channel Military Chronicle, which detailed the strike.

"It appears that some of the "Tomahawks' are heading toward Tehran through Iraqi airspace from the Mediterranean direction,” the report stated.

The channel's author noted that at least two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers — USS Roosevelt and USS Bulkeley - operated in the area. The estimated distance from their approximate position at sea to the target measured around 1,500 kilometers.

Both USS Roosevelt and USS Bulkeley belong to the Flight IIA variant of the Arleigh Burke class. Each vessel carries 96 vertical launch cells capable of deploying Tomahawk cruise missiles as well as Standard surface-to-air missiles.

Israel’s military said its air defense systems intercepted several missiles over Jerusalem on Saturday, following reports of a retaliatory strike from Iran, Anadolu reports.

Air-raid sirens sounded across the city as the missiles were detected and destroyed mid-air, with smoke visible in the sky after the interceptions.

Earlier Saturday, Israel launched the “preemptive” attack under the name ‘Lion’s Roar,’ declaring a “special and immediate” state of emergency across the country.

US President Donald Trump also confirmed “major combat operations” in Iran aimed at defending the American people by “eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime.”

The Middle East crisis explodes further: Iran has launched direct attacks on US military facilities in response to the US-Israel joint strikes on Tehran.

Simultaneously, Iran's retaliation reached the Al-Dhafra Airbase in the UAE near Abu Dhabi—blasts heard across the capital. Manama and Abu Dhabi authorities acknowledge attacks on their soil. This comes hours after President Trump described the initial 'Shield of Judah' operation as a "major combat operation" targeting Iranian sites. Tehran had promised a "crushing" reply—now delivering it across the Gulf. US forces on high alert; air defenses active. Oil facilities, shipping routes under threat—global energy markets in chaos. Live visuals of smoke plumes, official confirmations, casualty fears, and expert warnings pouring in.
