Summary
April 7 brought a ceasefire announcement between Israel and Iran, and the deal took effect on April 8 after more than a month of cross-border strikes.
February 28 marked the start of Israeli and US operations Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, which Israel said aimed to create conditions for regime change and killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s defense minister and several IRGC generals.
Iran answered with missile attacks across the Middle East targeting Gulf states, US bases and Israel, where ballistic strikes since February 28 killed 13 IDF soldiers and 23 civilians and injured at least 7,693.
CENTCOM also reported 13 US soldiers killed, underscoring how the conflict spread beyond Israel and Iran before the ceasefire took hold.
