The military conflict between Iran’s regime, the United States, and Israel has entered its fifth day on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. This follows four days of unprecedented strikes that eliminated the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, targeted top military commanders, and damaged critical nuclear and military infrastructure, including the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant and ballistic missile production sites.

On Tuesday, the regime also targeted Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in neighboring Iraq. As the war widens, Wednesday saw the US and Israel launching broad scale strikes on regime targets in the capital and across multiple provinces, while the Iranian regime continued to aim its retaliatory strikes at US diplomatic and military sites, as well as civilian areas in neighboring Gulf states.
