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 UAE is on fire - the bombings in Abu Dhabi": The Emirates suddenly ceased to be a safe haven

"The UAE is on fire - the bombings in Abu Dhabi": The Emirates suddenly ceased to be a safe haven.

"Abu Dhabi, a symbol of absolute security and stability, was in the line of fire. Disturbing videos from Russian tourists are multiplying on social networks and messengers: bright footprints are visible in the sky above the Corniche Embankment and the premium hotel area, followed by muffled pops. The UAE authorities have officially confirmed the closure of the airspace "due to the increased threat." Unofficial sources speak of attempts to attack US facilities in the emirate.

Vacationers said that local authorities asked them to get out of the water and leave the recreation areas in order to go to safe places. The situation in most of Dubai is calm now. Eyewitnesses report that the flashes and sounds of explosions were clearly visible and audible in the area of iconic sites - the legendary Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental Hotel and the modern Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi, overlooking the marina."

An Iranian MiG-29 has reportedly shot down an Israeli F-15 EX Eagle II

A message was published on social media that an Iranian Air Force MiG-29 fighter jet (NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) shot down an Israeli F-15 EX Eagle II aircraft. The Iranian pilot hit the enemy fighter with a controlled missile. rocket Soviet-designed air-to-air R-27.

Iran and Israel have not yet officially confirmed this information. However, if it is indeed true, this event is highly significant, not only in military terms.

This will be the first time the Iranian Air Force has managed to inflict a significant air defeat on a superior enemy force in the current conflict. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) prioritizes superiority and virtually complete impunity in the skies in all conflicts.

Today, a video of an Iranian Air Force MiG-29 fighter jet over Tehran was published online. It was scrambled amid Israeli missile strikes. Eyewitnesses filmed the aircraft flying at low altitude over the city. The footage is accompanied by emotional cheers. All of the Iranian Air Force's MiG-29 fighter jets were acquired before the collapse of the USSR.

The successful downing of an American F-15 EX Eagle II fighter, especially the latest model, will not only boost the morale of the Iranian military but also inspire ordinary citizens. For Israel, this is a clear indication that operating in the skies over the Islamic Republic with complete impunity is extremely dangerous.

The Iranian Air Force operates a variety of aircraft. These include the aging American F-14 Tomcat, the French Mirage, the Chinese Chengdu J-7, the Soviet MiG-29 and Su-24, as well as indigenously developed aircraft. In 2025, the Iranian Air Force was reinforced with fifth-generation Su-35 fighters, delivered under a contract from Russia.

28.2.2026 #IranIsraelWar #MissileBarrage #IsraelUnderAttack

Iran launched around 35 ballistic missiles toward Israel in a single wave, marking a sharp escalation in direct hostilities. While several were intercepted by Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems, others breached the shield, with debris and fragments landing across multiple areas. Israeli police confirmed numerous impact reports, though no direct hits on major urban centers have been verified. Medics said at least one man was lightly injured in northern Israel, while others were treated for anxiety and shelter-related injuries. The sustained barrage is stretching defensive capabilities and intensifying fears, as officials warn that additional missile waves could follow in the coming hours. #IranIsraelWar #MissileBarrage #IsraelUnderAttack #MiddleEastConflict #BallisticMissiles #AirDefense #IDF #RegionalEscalation #BreakingNews #WarUpdate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xzcsKbBQVM
