How the Iran war has played out so far
Since joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran on Feb.28, continued attacks have largely depleted Iranian military capabilities, according to the U.S.
“Iran’s air force has been wiped out,” claimed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week. “Their missile program is functionally destroyed, launchers, production facilities and existing stockpiles depleted and decimated,” he added.
Hegseth said that Iran still retains the ability to retaliate, which it has done so throughout the conflict, targeting U.S. military bases in the region, as well as civilian infrastructure and oil and gas production facilities in a number of Gulf countries.
In Iran, the war has killed at least 2,900 people, including 1,700 civilians, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) in Iran. Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, part of the broader regional conflict, has killed 2,020 people, including 248 women, 165 children, and 87 health workers.
