About This Timeline

This page tracks every confirmed event related to the Iran-US-Israel military confrontation that began on February 28, 2026. Events are listed in reverse chronological order and categorized by type: military actions, diplomatic developments, flight disruptions, and energy market impacts. Each entry is timestamped in UTC and sourced from verified reporting.

The crisis began with Operation Epic Fury, a coordinated US-Israeli strike campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure and nuclear-related facilities. Iran responded within hours with retaliatory ballistic missile launches against US military installations across the Persian Gulf, as well as strikes on Israeli territory. The resulting escalation has drawn in multiple nations and disrupted global shipping, aviation, and energy markets.

Use the category-coded left border to quickly identify event types: red for military actions, blue for diplomacy, cyan for flight impacts, and gold for oil and energy developments. New events are added as they are confirmed by at least two independent sources.
