Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the ongoing military operation against Iran will continue "for as long as necessary." Netanyahu's statement came immediately after the large-scale attack launched jointly by the US and Israel. The operation, which began on the morning of February 28, 2026, and is called "Operation Lion's Roar" by Israel, aims to strike targets related to Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile facilities, Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) bases, Basij forces, and regime leaders. The US, meanwhile, announced that it is specifically targeting ballistic missile sites that pose a threat to Israeli and American forces.
