Casualties from US-Israel attack on Iran exceed 1,000

The situation in the Middle East has grown increasingly tense. The death toll from the joint US-Israel operation in Iran has now risen above 1,000. According to the latest data, the intensity of the air strikes has caused a significant spike in casualties. The aggression began on Saturday 28 February local time. The joint US-Israeli forces launched a series of air strikes on strategic targets, including the capital Tehran. The operation’s impact is massive: the ongoing offensive has triggered a sharp escalation across the region. The wave of missile exchanges continues and has not only increased casualties but also created broad political and security shocks on an international scale. The US Embassy in Qatar urged American citizens in the Gulf state to leave the area immediately. The ‘Pizza Pentagon’ phenomenon has emerged in the media after the United States attacked Iran in late February 2026. The term ‘Pentagon Pizza Index’ is a theory that has long circulated. The Qatar Air Force shot down two Iranian fighter jets and intercepted several missiles and drones entering its territory, marking a new escalation in the Middle East conflict. Iran has strengthened its capabilities by integrating 1,000 new combat drones into its armed forces, amid rising tensions and threats of US strikes. The United States and allied forces launched large-scale attacks against ISIS targets in Syria in retaliation for the deadly assault on US troops. The total war waged by the US and Israel against Iran enters its third day with humanitarian and economic impacts increasingly dire.
