A Visualized Chronology of Conflicts Between the US, Israel, and Iran
A detailed breakdown of the conflicts triggered by US and Israel attacks starting on February 28, 2026, the crises in the Strait of Hormuz, and fluctuations in oil prices.
The war process, which began with large-scale US and Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28, 2026, progressed step by step with leadership changes, restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, fluctuations in oil prices, and regional diplomatic initiatives.
The Beginning of the War and the First Wave of Attacks
On February 28, large-scale military attacks were carried out across Iran by the US and Israel. During these attacks, Iranian leader Ali Khamenei lost his life, and with this development, barrel oil prices began to climb from levels that had dropped below seventy dollars.
Regional Cluster and Missile Retaliation
Following the attacks it suffered, Iran responded with missile and drone attacks targeting locations in Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia across the region.
During this process, a missile that hit the Shajareh Tayyibe primary school in the city of Minab led to the deaths and injuries of numerous civilians.
Restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz and Oil
On March 1, Iran restricted commercial transits through the Strait of Hormuz, causing maritime transport to drop by eighty percent, which triggered sharp increases in global oil prices.
The Leadership Change Process in Iran
On March 8, Mojtaba Khamenei took office as Iran's new Supreme Leader, and the country's ruling cadre was reshaped with this critical appointment.
Military Escalation and Diplomatic Efforts
Throughout March, April, May, and June, cycles of military escalation, US threats to target Iranian infrastructure, temporary ceasefires, and regional diplomatic activities led by Pakistan and Gulf countries continued uninterrupted.
On June 9, an American Apache helicopter was shot down; on June 11, following high-level talks, some planned US attacks were canceled.
Technical Talks and Lifting of the Naval Blockade
On June 14, an agreement was signed providing for the initiation of technical talks, the lifting of the US blockade, and the reopening of the strait, though differing interpretations of this arrangement persisted between Washington and Tehran.
