Iran accuses the USA and the Israeli Mossad of supporting and arming Iranian opposition parties in northern Iraq.
The Islamic Resistance, a pro-Iranian group, claimed responsibility for the shelling of American facilities in Iraq, including the "Victory" base located near Baghdad International Airport. One of the drones was shot down.
This occurred after another drone, also sent by the Islamic Resistance, was intercepted near the airport.

Prime Minister Sanchez, critical of the American and Israeli strikes on Iran, stated his government's position: "No to war," indicating that the Spanish people are against "this catastrophe."

Sanchez noted that the current crisis is "the beginning of great catastrophes for humanity," urging governments not to "play Russian roulette with the fate of millions."

French fighters shot down Iranian drones over the UAE: Minister Barro.

On Tuesday, Barro confirmed the deployment of fighters at the Dhafra base near Abu Dhabi to protect against Iranian attacks.
President Macron also announced the deployment of France's flagship aircraft carrier to the Mediterranean in response to rising tensions.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported conducting military operations along the Iran-Iraq border, where Kurdish formations operate.
This is significant for two reasons, as noted by Al Jazeera.
Military operations have primarily been conducted by the IRGC's air forces, which have carried out missile strikes; however, now ground forces are also involved in securing the border. Iran fears that a weakening of military power could lead to border destabilization and internal uprisings.
The main threat to Iran comes from Kurdish forces, as well as Baluchis and Arabs. This poses a serious risk to the country.
There are also reports of contacts between American officials and Kurdish leaders, prompting Iran to take measures to prevent destabilization.
Shipping companies assess Trump's guarantees for the Strait of Hormuz as a partial solution to the problem — Bloomberg.
President Trump stated that the USA would ensure the free movement of energy resources through the Persian Gulf with insurance guarantees and naval escorts. However, representatives of the shipping industry consider this only a partial solution to the current issues.
Analysts at RBC Capital Markets note that while Trump's words about insuring tankers have led to a decrease in oil prices, the implementation of this plan may face serious difficulties.
Due to the risks associated with passage through the Strait of Hormuz, shipping companies are facing rising freight costs, and the largest insurers are refusing to insure vessels in this region.

He added that Trump "betrayed diplomacy and the Americans who elected him."
Negotiations between the USA and Iran regarding the nuclear program took place in Oman and Geneva in February 2026, and Iran assessed their results as positive. However, after the start of a joint operation by the USA and Israel against Iran on February 28, Trump stated that there was nothing more to discuss.
The record states that Iran can continue to wage war against the USA and Israel "for as long as it wants." What else happened? first appeared on K-News.
