U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and targeted missile sites, prompting Iranian retaliation that damaged airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. Airspaces over Iran, Iraq, Israel, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Syria, and the UAE shut down into early March, canceling over 3,400 flights at seven major hubs on Sunday alone and forcing Western airlines to use longer polar or southern routes. These disruptions compound existing bans on Russian airspace since 2022, hiking fuel costs by up to 40% and fares, while Chinese and some Gulf carriers keep flying over Russia.

Key Takeaway

Hundreds of thousands of passengers are stranded as key Gulf airports grind to a halt, turning routine trips to Asia into multi-day ordeals.

In a Fox News interview, Secretary of State Rubio described Operation Epic Fury and Roaring Lion—launched February 28, 2026—as vital to cripple Iran's secret nuclear bomb pursuit and regional proxies like Hamas. The strikes killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, top IRGC commanders, and about 40 officials, building on 2025 U.S. actions that already set back Tehran's program by years. Iran retaliated with missiles on U.S. bases and Israel, closed the Strait of Hormuz, and appointed an interim council, amid unclear casualties over 100 and split global reactions from support in Canada to UN calls for restraint. Rubio praised President Trump's approach as a 'favor to the world' while keeping negotiation doors open.

Key Takeaway

Marco Rubio laid out the case for recent U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran, showing maps of hit nuclear sites while stressing no quarrel with the Iranian people.

On February 17, Bennett warned at a Jerusalem conference that Turkey under Erdogan seeks to encircle Israel through influence in Syria, support for Islamist groups, and a potential hostile Sunni axis. The remarks, made nearly two weeks before Ayatollah Khamenei's death, have been amplified on social media into unverified predictions of Israel targeting Turkey next, though no current officials or major Israeli media echo this. Reactions mix alarm over NATO fallout with skepticism, while analysts say direct conflict remains unlikely due to mutual deterrence.

Key Takeaway

A resurfaced clip of former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett calling Turkey 'the new Iran' has fueled online fears of World War III after Iran's leader was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes.

On Wednesday's 'The Five,' Democratic co-host Jessica Tarlov drew sharp criticism for focusing on negatives in Trump's February 24 address, including his mention of Iryna Zarutska, stabbed to death in Charlotte. Fact checks show the suspect, DeCarlos Brown Jr., is a U.S. citizen, not an immigrant as some framed it, fueling accusations that Tarlov misrepresented Trump and rambled on unrelated topics. Viewers called her despicable and demanded her firing, highlighting tensions on the conservative-leaning show where she provides counterpoints as a rotating host since 2017.

Key Takeaway

Right after Trump's upbeat State of the Union, Fox's Jessica Tarlov pointed out flaws in his immigration story about a Ukrainian refugee's death—and conservative viewers fired back hard.

The U.S. and Israel launched 'Roaring Lion' strikes on Iranian targets, killing dozens including senior leaders, per Iranian reports. Iran fired back with missiles on northern Israel and U.S. bases, prompting Houthi pledges to resume attacks paused since the late 2025 Gaza ceasefire. Online, memes celebrate the Houthis as loyal 'ride-or-die' allies always on standby, with quips like a lifeguard closing the shipping 'pool' and Rick and Morty GIFs capturing the vibe. Their past campaign disrupted global trade, and renewed action could hike costs again.

At the St. Petersburg forum on June 20, 2025, Putin said Moscow won't back Iran militarily because nearly two million people from the former Soviet Union live in Israel, making it almost a Russian-speaking country. The clip gained attention after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets on February 28, 2026, which prompted Iran's retaliation and Russia's diplomatic condemnation without military aid. This reflects Russia's balancing act—partnering with Iran on arms but prioritizing diaspora ties and avoiding direct involvement, as seen in ongoing trade with Israel and Syria coordination.

Key Takeaway

In a resurfaced 2025 video, Putin calmly explains Russia's hands-off approach to Iran-Israel tensions, pointing to Israel's huge Russian-speaking population as a key factor.
