US-Israel Vs. Iran War (West Asia): Part I The crisis in West Asia erupted on 28 February 2026 by a massive US-Israeli offensive designed to decapitate the Iranian leadership and dismantle its nuclear program following the collapse in indirect diplomacy. The initial strikes successfully neutralized high-value targets in Iran, including the reported killing of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenie, which triggered a devastating asymmetric response by Irans Operation True Promise 4 and the subsequent blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This has paralyzed about 20% of the worlds oil and LNG supply, plunging the global economy into a state of stagflation and a severe energy security crisis. As of early April, the war has transitioned into a deadly stalemate with US now seeking a safe and honorable exit through a settlement. https://www.boloji.com/articles/55353/us-israel-vs.-iran-war-west-asia-part-i
