Shock and Awe, 2026 Iran Edition: The New War Model Is Precision, Pressure, and Regime Collapse

Jack Buckby

In the early hours of February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched Operation Lion’s Roar and Operation Epic Fury—coordinated strikes across Iran aimed at missile infrastructure, air defenses, naval assets, IRGC nodes, and elements of Tehran’s nuclear program.

-President Trump framed the campaign as major combat operations driven by an imminent threat, urging Iranian civilians to shelter and calling on the public to seize the moment to take control from the regime.

-Iran’s response has included missiles and drones aimed at Israel and U.S. facilities across the region.

-The campaign is presented as a contained, multi-day pressure operation designed to neutralize Iran’s strategic leverage and enable internal political change.
