Chronology: Iran War and No End: Attacks, Blockades, Ceasefire
Rockets on schools, leaders killed, diplomatic negotiations: The Iran war has shaken the Middle East and global trade. A look back at key events.
The US and Israel launched coordinated air strikes against Iran on February 28, targeting nuclear facilities, missile sites, and command centers, killing top leader Ayatollah Ali Chamenei. The conflict escalated, with thousands killed, and affected the global economy, particularly after the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial energy trade route, was largely closed.
The war involved various countries, including Lebanon's Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi militia, and saw periods of relative calm, including a two-week ceasefire and negotiations between the US and Iran. Despite a framework agreement and a tentative peace, fighting continued, with both sides engaging in sporadic attacks.
