US-Israel Military Conflict with Iran

March 18 – March 20, 2026

The Bottom Line

The U.S. and Israel launched "Operation Roaring Lion," a series of airstrikes that destroyed Iran's ability to make nuclear fuel and long-range missiles. These strikes matter because they physically stop Iran's nuclear program, but they have also led to retaliatory attacks and debates over whether the strikes were legal under international law. Prime Minister Netanyahu says the threat is now gone, though the region remains on high alert after the joint military action.
