The West Asian conflict escalates to its peak – Iran launches its biggest “direct retaliation” since Operation Epic Fury!

From the end of February 2026, after the US and Israel launched mᴀssive airstrikes (hundreds of Tomahawk missiles, F-35s, and B-2s) against Iran – destroying missile facilities, IRGC naval bases, and even Mehrabad Airport in Tehran (which was heavily attacked, military aircraft burned, and black smoke enveloped the capital) – Iran retaliated with a series of large-scale ballistic missile and drone attacks!

Israel: Hundreds of ballistic missiles and Shahed drones flew in, some penetrating the Iron Dome, causing fires and explosions in the north and center (Tel Aviv shook, sirens blared).

US bases in Gulf states: Al Udeid (Qatar), Ali Al Salem (Kuwait), Bahrain (5th Fleet), UAE, Saudi Arabia – drones and missiles directly targeted US embᴀssies, radar, and air force facilities, causing casualties and regional panic.

Other US allies: Jordan, Iraq, Oman – expanding the conflict throughout the Gulf region, threatening the Strait of Hormuz and global oil supplies!

The horrific consequences:

Smoke and flames engulfed the Persian Gulf and the Israeli border, with continuous explosions from interceptions and collisions!

Missile/drone debris flew across the desert and sea, fires spread across bases – Iran declared “this is just the beginning,” but the US-Israel reduced Tehran’s missile launch capabilities by 80-90% due to not having an absolute advantage.

This is Iran’s phase of “direct and indirect retaliation” after losing its leader (Khamenei), military infrastructure, and navy (over 30-40 sunken ships). Will Tehran be able to maintain its offensive momentum? Or will the US and Israel launch a “bigger wave” to finish the job? The Middle East is on the brink of full-scale war – follow the images of burning Mehrabad, nighttime missile launches, and the latest updates!
