Reuters and AP reporting on the unprecedented U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran beginning February 28, 2026 — and how IRGC forces and allied proxies across Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon are adapting in real time.

The February 28 Campaign

The coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes represented the most significant military operation against Iranian territory since the 1980s. The campaign targeted IRGC Quds Force command infrastructure, ballistic missile launch sites, and nuclear enrichment facilities across multiple provinces simultaneously.

Proxy Adaptation

Despite significant damage to core IRGC infrastructure, proxy forces across the region have demonstrated remarkable resilience. Pre-positioned weapons stockpiles, decentralized command authority, and extensive tunnel networks have preserved proxy combat capability.
