ON February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury, striking 1,000 targets in Iran within the first 24 hours. By mid-March, the number had crossed 6,000.

All across the world, a million-dollar question is being asked: what will be the final outcome of the war of aggression the US and Israel jointly initiated with the elimination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28?

They mark the beginning of a terrifying new chapter in the desperate attempt to keep a dying unipolar world order alive.
