● LIVE: Operation “Shield of Judah”

Antisemitism as the reason of state, an advanced missile and nuclear program, 30,000 demonstrators murdered within two days, and finally, help… Here you can find the latest updates on Operation “Shield of Judah” against Iran.

With its official antisemitic hate speech and an advanced ballistic missile arsenal as well as a nuclear program, the pseudo-Islamic republic, which feeds primarily on the falsified, antisemitic (and misogynistic) hadiths of Muhammad, is a danger to Judaism (and a disgrace to Islam).

The Iranians no longer have air defenses

President Trump declared: “Their navy is gone. We sank 24 of their ships in three days. Their anti-aircraft weapons are gone. So they have no air force, they have no air defense. All their planes are gone. Their communications are gone. The missiles are gone. The launchers are gone, about 60% and 64% respectively. Other than that, they’re in great shape.”

5-3-2026, 17:04:51/Extensive air support for Kurds

Trump offered Iranian Kurds who oppose the regime “extensive American air support” to help them seize parts of western Iran, according to the Washington Post. The New York Times previously reported that Iranian Kurds stationed in Iraq are preparing to invade across the border and are receiving support from the CIA. The CIA has allegedly armed these groups before to destabilize the pseudo-Islamic Republic. However, the invasion has not yet begun.

The Iranian judiciary chief warns the public against unrest

“Those who say or do anything that corresponds to the will of America and the Zionist regime are on the side of the enemy and must be dealt with according to revolutionary Islamic principles and in accordance with the war.”

Both the US and Israel had called on the Iranians to overthrow their government during the war. President Trump declared that this would likely be their “only chance for generations.”

Just a few weeks ago, according to leaked documents from IRGC security forces, the Department of Health, and hospital records, the shiite regime killed between 30,000 and 36,000 protesters with machine guns in two days, both in the streets as wounded in hospitals. They were unarmed and presumably still are, which would explain why they no longer dare to take to the streets to overthrow the last rest of the shiite regime.

4:27:53/Trump intends to support armed groups in Iran

According to Wall Street Journal, Trump spoke with Kurdish leaders in Iran on Sunday and is also contacting other local leaders to overthrow the shiite regime.

Iran is running out of missiles

Trump also stated that Iran is running out of missiles and that the operation could end within few days, or could “last another five weeks.”

Iran fired a cluster missile over Tel Aviv

The Israeli rescue service Magen David Adom reported, according to Ynet, that twelve people were injured. Cluster munitions are banned under international law and are used to cause widespread damage with minimal resources.

Khamenei’s son elected as his successor

A correspondent for the opposition channel “Iran International” reported that the Iranian assembly of experts elected Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the assassinated supreme leader, as the next leader.

For clarification: “Ayatollah” and “Ruhollah”, both Titles of the supreme shiite leader and Arabic loanwords, mean “Verse from the Holy Quran/Sign of Allah” and “Spirit of Allah,” respectively —in other words: “Holy Spirit.” President Trump is not wrong when he speaks of lunatics in Iran. They are pathetic charlatans who act like the clergy in medieval Europe, like witch burners, using their false titles as weapons, for example, for the mass execution of demonstrators.

Israel seizes additional control areas in Lebanon

The Lebanese army has withdrawn from at least seven operational positions along the border, according to an eyewitness.

Furthermore, a buffer zone is to be established in Lebanon, according to army spokesman Effie Defrin.

00:09:54/Military experts: Qatar’s stockpile of interceptor missiles will only last four days

The intensified Iranian missile and drone attacks on the Gulf state are leading to a high consumption of Patriot and THAAD interceptor missiles. The other Gulf states have already requested assistance. At the same time, there are reports that the US is more carefully reviewing or delaying internal requests for additional interceptor missiles, which has caused concern among regional partners.

In critical regions, more missiles are currently being used than can be produced in a short period of time, causing stockpiles to dwindle rapidly. However, there is a glimmer of hope: The Israeli army expects the Iranian attacks to decrease significantly within two to three days, according to Ynet. The IDF is relentlessly hunting down enemy missile launchers and anticipates some relief within a few days.

The US denies that the Strait of Hormuz is closed

According to US Central Command (CENTCOM), the Strait of Hormuz is not closed, despite a declaration by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Iranian Brigadier General Ebrahim Jabari had previously threatened to “burn any ship that tries to pass through it.”

Internet blackout in Iran exceeds 48 hours

… the country’s 90 million inhabitants are being cut off from the outside world as the offensive spreads. “Shutdowns are a common tactic of the regime. The last one in January lasted several weeks and masked serious human rights violations,” Netblocks explained.

10:01:27/US media reaction to the operation

US media are generally divided over the US attack on Iran. Liberal and established outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and HuffPost report mostly critically or skeptically. They highlight the legal basis, the lack of congressional approval, the risk of escalation, and possible civilian casualties, warning against a new open conflict in the Middle East.

Conservative and business-oriented media present a more heterogeneous picture. Coverage by The Wall Street Journal is usually sober and analytical, focusing on geopolitical and economic consequences, although its opinion pages are sometimes clearly critical of the operation and its constitutionality. In contrast, the New York Post reports in a strongly supportive and emotional tone, portraying the attack as a necessary strike against the Iranian regime and sharply rejecting criticism.

Overall, the media reaction reflects the US’s domestic polarization: while progressive and mainstream outlets warn of escalation and legal risks, conservative and tabloid media emphasize security and deterrence arguments. There is no broad, clear consensus in the media landscape.

Offensive extends to Cyprus and Iraq

President Nikos Christodoulides confirmed that the british RAF base at Akrotiri in Cyprus was struck last night by a suspected Iranian drone attack, causing no casualties yet limited material damage. He stressed that Cyprus is not involved in the conflict and remains neutral, while all national security forces remain on alert. The origin of the drone is not yet fully confirmed, though a Shahed type, linked to attacks in the Middle East, is suspected.

At the same time, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, reaffirmed the EU’s solidarity with Cyprus, emphasizing that the EU stands by its member states in times of threat and must work together to maintain stability and security in the region amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Israel and the United States jointly struck targets in Iraq, particularly positions of Iranian-aligned militias such as the so-called Kataib Hezbollah in areas like Jurf al-Sakhar. Reports indicate that several fighters were killed and others injured. The strikes in Iraq are part of the conflict’s expansion beyond Iran’s borders and have already prompted rocket attacks on US military bases in the country. The Iraqi government condemned the operations, emphasizing the country’s sovereignty and warning that it should not be used as a launchpad for international military actions.

Israel begins offensive against the so-called Hezbollah

In Lebanon, military clashes between the Israeli army (IDF) and the so-called Hezbollah have caused heavy losses: according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, at least 31 people were killed and around 149 injured. The casualties resulted from extensive Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley upon the so-called Hezbollah firing rockets and drones at Israel. These attacks also triggered mass evacuations in affected areas.

Eyal Zamir, Chief of Staff of the IDF, stated that the so-called Hezbollah launched an offensive against Israel and is fully responsible for the recent escalation. He emphasized that the IDF is prepared and is conducting an offensive against the so-called Hezbollah, warning that any enemy threatening Israel’s security will pay a high price.

Iran rejects talks upon second wave of attacks

Following the second wave of attacks, Ali Larijani, head of Iran’s National Security Council, declared that Iran will not conduct talks with the United States as long as the military attacks continue. Tehran argues that negotiations “under fire” are pointless and that the attacks constitute a violation of national sovereignty. While Iranian leadership emphasizes that this is not a fundamental rejection of diplomacy, both direct and indirect channels for dialogue are effectively frozen after the escalation.

1-3-2026, 23:37:55/Germany, the United Kingdom and France declare readiness to take defensive action

… within the framework of self-defence to destroy Iran’s ability to launch missiles and drones at the source, should their security or that of their allies be threatened. The statement is directed against continued Iranian attacks and emphasizes proportionality, a defensive posture, and close coordination with allies, particularly the United States. At the same time, the three states officially reaffirm their commitment to diplomacy and stress that they were not part of the initial Israeli-American offensive strikes. In addition, the British prime minister has expressed readiness to make the requested British military bases in the Indian Ocean available to President Trump.

Gulf states unite following Iran’s air strikes

The foreign ministers of the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman) stated that they will take measures to protect their security and stability against what they describe as unjustified Iranian aggression. In practical terms, this implies closer coordination of air and missile defence, early-warning systems and military readiness.

18:28:44/Reports of intensifying attacks and willingness to talk

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that airstrikes on Tehran will be intensified in the coming days, stating that the Israeli forces have not yet operated at “full strength.” He said he wants to create conditions for the people to free themselves.

US President Donald Trump, on the other hand, stated that he has agreed to talk with the new Iranian leadership, as they have sought contact, yet he did not provide a timeline for the talks.

About 50,000 are currently on duty.

Israel denies responsibility for attack on girls’ school in Minab

The Israeli army said it had no operations in the area at that time. Tehran, however, holds Israel responsible for the attacks, although the reports have not yet been independently verified. More than a hundred schoolgirls have reportedly died so far.

17:35:38/Ex-President Ahmadinejad (2005–2013) reportedly killed

The Iranian state news agency Ilna reports that he was hit together with his bodyguards in his house in the Narmak district of Tehran.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad played a major role in shaping the current escalation of the Iran conflict. During his presidency, the nuclear program was significantly expanded and the military infrastructure of the IRGC was strengthened, while his antisemitic and provocative rhetoric toward Israel intensified the radical climate within the leadership.

His policies thus laid the foundation for the current tensions with Israel, the US, and the Gulf states, both ideologically and technologically, and continue to influence the hardliner structures in Tehran.

16:39:23/The current death toll and injuries

Iran: 201 dead/747 injured
Israel: 9 dead/121 injured
UAE: 3 dead/58 injured
USA: 3 dead/5 injured
Iraq: 2 dead/5 injured
Kuwait: 1 dead/32 injured

Qatar: 16 injured
Oman: 5 injured
Bahrain: 4 injured

3:09:19/It’s official: The dictator is dead

The state apparatus has apparently run out of shameless lies. Iranian state media have just reported the death of the fake Ayatollah Khamenei. Alhamdulillah.

00:44:07/First milestone likely achieved

US President Donald Trump has assured that dictator Khamenei is dead. People in Iran are celebrating in the streets and toppling his statues. Iran has not yet confirmed this.

00:32:29/First Israeli casualty reported

A woman in her forties died in a rocket attack on Tel Aviv, according to Ynet. Magen David Adom reports that 27 others were injured.

28-2-2026, 21:24:36/Was Iran’s nuclear program really intended for peaceful purposes only?

According to a high-ranking official in the Trump administration, the US offered to supply Iran with nuclear fuel free of charge. However, Iran insisted on enriching it itself.

19:47:54/Israel crippled Iran with 200 fighter jets

The Israeli army (IDF) said it deployed around 200 fighter jets to strike approximately 500 targets in Iran —primarily missile launch sites, air defense systems, and military infrastructure.

The simultaneous deployment of around 200 Israeli fighter jets was primarily aimed at rapidly and broadly weakening Iran’s military offensive and defensive capabilities. Through parallel strikes on about 500 targets —especially missile launchers, air defense systems, and command infrastructure in western and central Iran— Iran’s ability to respond in a coordinated manner against Israel or to prepare further missile attacks was significantly curtailed. The scale and synchronization of the strikes overwhelmed Iran’s air defenses.

At the same time, the operation served to achieve at least temporary air superiority. With air defense positions destroyed or disrupted, Israeli aircraft were able to operate more freely, making follow-up attacks safer and more effective. Militarily, this represents an improved starting position for further operations; strategically, it was a clear demonstration of the reach, coordination, and precision of the Israeli Air Force. In addition, the tactic had a deterrent and political signaling effect.

Iranian Red Crescent reports 201 dead and 747 wounded

Twenty-four provinces were attacked, and more than 220 teams are reportedly deployed. Considering that Iran killed 30,000 demonstrators in just two days, one can only wish Israel and the United States every success.

Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz

According to the EU naval mission Aspides, Iran has closed the world’s most important route for oil exports. There is no official confirmation from Iran yet. Ships are reportedly receiving radio messages via VHF from Iran stating that passage is not permitted.

17:17:03/Preliminary casualty figures in Iran, the Gulf States and Israel

In Iran, the civilian casualty toll is particularly high. During an airstrike on a girls’ school in southern Minab, official sources report that at least 50–57 people were killed, mostly schoolgirls, and around 45–60 others were injured. Some sources cite up to 85 deaths, as other targets in Hormozgan Province were also hit and rescue operations are ongoing. Independent verification of these numbers is not yet available. Additionally, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi admitted that the Iranian military may have lost “one or two” commanders in the recent attacks.

In the Gulf States, where Iran launched occasional retaliatory airstrikes, the direct casualty numbers are very low. In Abu Dhabi, one civilian was killed by falling debris during the interception of Iranian missiles. Dubai reported four injuries, while Kuwait reported several injured airport employees.

Magen David Adom (the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross) reports that in Israel there are no confirmed deaths or serious injuries directly caused by impacts. Teams are surveying multiple potential impact sites to check for victims, yet so far no direct casualties have been found. All thanks to God.

There have only been cases of minor injuries sustained while heading to shelters, as well as reports of treatment for anxiety or stress, while sirens and rocket alarms were triggered in many parts of Israel.

15:26:43/Was Khamenei already hit?

According to Ynet, Israel is expressing measured optimism that several top Iranian figures may have been killed, including supreme leader Ali Khamenei, Revolutionary Guards commanders Mohammad Pakpour, Ali Shamkhani, as well as Iran’s defense minister, intelligence chief, and chief of staff. However, there is no confirmed verification of their deaths. As airstrikes targeted multiple locations where these were reportedly meeting earlier in the day, we now can confirm that they are targets in this operation.

14:15:27/Israel mobilizes 70,000 reservists for Iran

Israel has announced its intention to call up to 70,000 reservists in response to its ongoing attacks on targets in Iran and Iranian missile counterattacks. The mobilization primarily comprises forces for air defense, homeland security, and border security. This mobilization aims to rapidly deploy additional troops and defense capabilities in the event of a potential war with Iran, as the conflict is escalating on multiple fronts simultaneously.

13:27:14/At least 40 dead in Iran

According to the state news agency IRNA, the death toll from the attack on a girls’ school in Minab (Hormozgan province) has risen to 40.

Israel bans public gatherings and closes schools

Israel has banned gatherings, closed schools and workplaces, and moved hospital patients to underground facilities.

Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the public of Iranian missile and drone attacks and declared a state of emergency nationwide.

Police are urging people to avoid non-essential travel.

12:30:51/First Iranian casualties

According to Iranian news agencies, a girls’ school in the southern Iranian city of Minab (Hormozgan Province) was hit in an airstrike. At least five students were killed, and further injuries are possible. The exact circumstances of the attack have not yet been independently confirmed.

Reports of “dozens dead” in this context have not been verified.

11:59:15/The first ballistic missiles from Iran reach Israel

Local authorities and media report that multiple explosions have been heard in Israel. The IDF has activated air alerts and sirens in various regions, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, and other central and northern areas. The explosions are likely caused by Iranian missiles or their interception by air defense systems. Despite the loud detonations, there are currently no confirmed reports of major damage or casualties.

Media reports indicate that the missiles are mostly medium- to long-range ballistic missiles, some equipped with precision warheads targeting strategic sites or critical infrastructure.

11:21:58/Reports of explosions in Gulf states are increasing

In the hours following the joint Israeli-American attacks on Iran, media outlets and authorities reported that explosions were heard in several Gulf states. In Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, residents reported loud explosions and bangs, heard across wide parts of the city – likely due in part to Iranian missile launches or their interception by air defense systems in the airspace. The UAE government announced partial airspace closures as a precaution, and confirmed reports indicate that US military bases in the emirate (such as near Al Dhafra) were also targeted or engaged by these strikes.

In Dubai – in districts such as Marina and Barsha – residents similarly reported hearing explosions or loud booms, suggesting comparable missile or interception activity. In Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), at least two AFP reporters said they heard explosions. In several other Gulf states, including Kuwait and Bahrain, warning sirens were also activated, mainly in connection with Iranian counterstrikes on US military installations in the region.

These acoustic explosions in cities like Abu Dhabi and Dubai appear to be largely part of a wave of Iranian missile and drone launches aimed at US bases or allied military facilities, as well as air defense reactions in the region. The conflict has disrupted air traffic and led to temporary airspace closures in multiple Gulf states, while residents brace for possible further escalations.

10:53:28/Smoke over US base Juffair Air Base in Bahrain

Explosions and smoke have been reported in the Juffair area upon Iranian missiles apparently strucking targets in the region. Hits were reported near the 5th Fleet base.

10:31:25/Americans name their attack “Operation Epic Fury”

On 28 february 2026, Israel, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, together with the USA under President Donald Trump, confirmed a pre-emptive military strike against Iran. Netanyahu stated that Israel needed to neutralize the “existential threat” posed by Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Trump emphasized that the US was carrying out “major combat operations” to destroy Iran’s missile, naval, and nuclear capabilities and offered Iranian military personnel the opportunity to surrender to avoid further bloodshed. Both leaders framed the attacks as necessary for the security of their countries and allies.

The military actions targeted strategic and military facilities, including missile sites, nuclear facilities, and command centers. According to reports, including Ynet, the following Iranian cities were attacked: Tehran, Qom, Kermanshah, Khorramabad, Dezful, Isfahan, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Tabriz, and Gamdarreh. The goal was to destroy military infrastructure while largely avoiding direct strikes on civilian areas.

The situation remains tense as Iran has announced retaliation, though details remain unclear. Observers view the strike as Israel’s strongest direct military action on Iranian territory to date, supported by the US, and warn of a potential regional escalation. The operation is also being discussed internationally under the lens of pre-emptive strike legality, which is permitted only when there is an imminent threat.

9:22:48/Operation “Shield of Judah” has begun

Israel confirmed on 28 february 2026 that it carried out a pre-emptive military strike against Iran. The Israeli government stated that it had concrete intelligence indicating an imminent Iranian missile or drone attack and therefore acted in self-defence. The strikes reportedly targeted military facilities; explosions were reported in Tehran. In Israel, a state of emergency was declared, airspace was partially closed, and the population was urged to take protective measures. According to Ynet, the United States was also involved.

The strike took place against the backdrop of sharply escalating tensions, failed nuclear negotiations, and Israel’s long-standing concerns over Iran’s missile and nuclear programs. Direct confrontations between the two states already occurred in 2024/25, significantly lowering the threshold for open attacks. Observers see the current move as Israel’s most direct military action on Iranian territory to date.

Iran has announced retaliation yet has not disclosed details. News agencies report that Ali Khamenei has gone into hiding and is not in Tehran.

At the same time, Israel is striking launch sites and underground infrastructure of the so-called Hezbollah in Lebanon.

It is to be hoped that Israel will not repeat the mistake of summer 2025 and will see the task through to completion: finally achieving regime change.

May the Lord of Hosts stand with Israel.
