The Fox News post you linked (from @FoxNews

 on February 28, 2026) is a breaking news alert announcing:"BREAKING: United States and Israel have attacked Iran."It includes a short video clip (likely a live or breaking news segment) showing the headline and related footage.Key Details from the Post and Immediate Follow-upsExplosions were reported in Tehran and other parts of Iran.

President Trump confirmed from Mar-a-Lago (his Florida residence) that the U.S. has begun "major combat operations" in Iran.

Trump described the goal as eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons, and ending what he called "mass terror."

Israeli PM Netanyahu reportedly named the operation "Operation Roaring Lion".

Fox News live updates indicate the U.S. is participating alongside Israel in strikes.

Context and BackgroundThis appears to be a new escalation following the June 2025 Twelve-Day War (also called the Iran–Israel war), which ran from approximately June 13–24, 2025:Israel launched preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, missile facilities, and military targets starting June 13.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone barrages.

The U.S. directly intervened around June 21–22, striking key nuclear facilities (e.g., Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan) with heavy bombs and cruise missiles.

A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended that conflict on June 24, 2025, but Iran's nuclear program was only set back by months (not fully destroyed), and tensions remained high.

The current February 2026 strikes seem to stem from renewed concerns over Iran's nuclear/missile progress, failed diplomacy, or provocations after the previous ceasefire.Public Reactions (from replies and related posts)Reactions are sharply divided:Many Iranians (especially regime opponents and diaspora voices) are celebrating, viewing it as potential liberation from the Islamic Republic government. Posts include messages like "Thank you U.S. and Israel" and videos of apparent celebrations.

Supporters of the U.S./Israel action praise it as necessary to stop terrorism and nuclear threats.

Critics call it illegal (no Congressional approval mentioned), escalatory, or reckless, with some labeling Trump harshly.
