The escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has unfolded across multiple phases since 2024, leaving a sweeping trail of destruction across military installations, nuclear facilities, government buildings, and critical infrastructure. What began as an April 2024 Israeli airstrike against an Iranian consular building in Damascus, Syria, killing two of its generals and five military advisors [Council on Foreign Relations] set off a chain of direct confrontations that ultimately spiraled into full-scale joint military operations by early 2026.
Iran's nuclear infrastructure became the earliest and most high-profile category of targets. On June 22, 2025, the United States Air Force and Navy attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran under the code name Operation Midnight Hammer. The Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant, the Natanz Nuclear Facility, and the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center were targeted with fourteen GBU-57A/B MOP bunker-buster bombs carried by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, and Tomahawk missiles fired from a submarine. The Esfahan Nuclear site — a large complex including the Uranium Conversion Facility and several other uranium conversion and fuel fabrication facilities — was targeted three times, twice by Israel and once by the United States, with extensive damage done to the site. The Natanz facility suffered the destruction of its above-ground Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant, and the loss of electrical power is likely to have caused damage to the centrifuges in the underground Fuel Enrichment Plant.
When Israel and the United States jointly launched Operation Roaring Lion and Operation Epic Fury on February 28, 2026, the operation began with joint strikes in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah, and included the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose compound was destroyed, as well as Ali Shamkhani, former head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and several other Iranian officials. Iran's chief of army staff, General Abdol Rahim Mousavi, and Defense Minister General Aziz Nasirzadeh were killed at a defense council meeting alongside the head of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, with sources indicating the initial strikes were believed to have killed about 40 Iranian officials.
The heart of Iran's governance architecture was targeted with particular intensity in Tehran. The IDF announced that it had destroyed the Supreme National Security Council headquarters, along with command-and-control infrastructure and the president's office. On March 2, 2026, video footage released by Iran International showed the IRGC Malek-Ashtar building in Tehran completely destroyed following a joint US-Israel missile strike, and in the early hours of March 3, the complex of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting was hit in a separate Israeli air operation. On March 3, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Assembly of Experts building in Qom as members of the clerical body were reportedly meeting to deliberate on the country's next leader.
Iran's internal security apparatus was also systematically dismantled. Strikes hit IRGC, Basij internal security, police, intelligence, and special forces sites long used to suppress protests, from missile depots and air defense systems to repression hubs embedded in urban neighborhoods. A strike destroyed the Law Enforcement Command headquarters in Ilam Province, positions in Sanandaj targeted the army's 28th Division and IRGC command centers including the IRGC detention facility known as Shahramfar Base, and the Intelligence Department building in Urmia was destroyed after airstrikes. Military radar positions on Kish Island were reported eliminated, and according to American sources, Iran's naval capabilities in the Gulf of Oman were severely damaged, with several Iranian warships destroyed and key bases hit.
Other locations struck inside Iran included Kermanshah, Qom, Tabriz, Ilam, Karaj, Lorestan province, Zanjan, Urmia, Bushehr, Damavand, and Shiraz. Israel's air force reported dropping more than 1,200 munitions across 24 of Iran's 31 provinces over a single day. At least 787 people were killed across Iran in the joint US-Israeli attacks according to the Red Crescent, with the deadliest single incident occurring in the city of Minab, where a strike on an elementary girls' school killed approximately 180 young children. Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was hit by debris from a US-Israeli airstrike, causing damage including to the Brilliant Hall and the Marble Throne.
Iran's retaliatory strikes extended destruction far beyond its borders, hitting targets across nine countries. Iranian missiles targeted the headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain's Juffair area, Bahrain's international airport was hit by a drone causing material damage, and several residential buildings in Manama were struck. Iran also struck the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia as the war expanded. The Jordanian armed forces reported intercepting 49 drones and ballistic missiles, while in Iraq the US and Israel struck the Jurf al-Sakher base housing the Popular Mobilisation Forces, and powerful explosions rocked the US consulate and international airport in Erbil. The UK's RAF base in Cyprus was struck by an Iranian drone. At least 40 buildings in Tel Aviv were damaged in Iranian strikes, and a ballistic missile strike on Beit Shemesh in central Israel killed nine Israeli citizens.
Around 2,000 strikes had been conducted by Israel and the US by March 1, 2026, with military operations focused on three priorities: suppressing Iranian air defenses, degrading Iran's capacity to retaliate, and disrupting Iranian command and control. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted global oil and gas shipments, while international oil prices surged. The full accounting of destroyed sites and the long-term consequences for regional stability, Iran's nuclear program, and broader geopolitics remain deeply and dangerously uncertain.
