Summary
April 7 brought a ceasefire announcement between Israel and Iran, with the deal taking effect on April 8 after more than a month of escalating attacks.
February 28 marked the start of Israel’s Operation Roaring Lion and the US operation Epic Fury, launched to create conditions for regime change in Iran.
An Israeli strike on a Tehran bunker killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while Iran’s defense minister and several IRGC generals also died in what the report described as the IAF’s largest-ever aerial attack.
Iran then fired missiles across the Middle East at Gulf states and US bases, leaving 39 IDF soldiers and 23 civilians dead in Israel, injuring at least 7,693 more, and killing 18 US soldiers, according to CENTCOM.
