WAR in Iran: Day Two Updates – 3/1/26

President Trump announced strikes against Iran early on Saturday, February 28th. This series will work to update you on where and what actions have happened, what our elected leaders are doing, and any results of the US-Israel strikes on Iran known as Operation Epic Fury.

Day 1: What to Know

  • 3 US service members have been killed and 5 wounded so far in Operation Epic Fury
  • Iran has killed at least 9 civilians in an Israeli residential building
  • All commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has stopped after Iran attacked at least two commercial vessels
  • Iran and its’ terrorist lackeys continue to fire rockets/missiles at civilian targets across the Middle East.
  • Democrats may be caving in to pressure to pass DHS funding, but are likely using that as leverage to get a vote on a war powers resolution later this week that would halt Operation Epic Fury.
  • Israel used Iron Beam, its US-Israel joint-developed anti-missile laser system, for the first time to great success against rockets launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah (Iran Proxies): VIDEO

Where, What, and Who Got Hit Today

Damage Assessments and Strategic/Tactical Results

Actions Inside the US

White House


The White House posted a video in which President Trump gave an update on Operation Epic Fury.


The president says the operation could go on for 4 weeks.


President Trump told Fox News on Sunday morning that Iran would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks.

Congress

House Speaker Johnson announced Sunday afternoon that there will be a House vote on DHS funding sometime this week. Also, a vote on the Democrats’ war powers resolution on Thursday that they intend to use to stop Operation Epic Fury. This is likely an agreement to allow the WPR bill vote as long as the DHS vote happens. This does not mean that either will succeed, but both bills will get an up or down vote.


House Democrats will convene a virtual caucus call Sunday evening to discuss Operation Epic Fury. Some reports state that they are considering voting on a war powers resolution to prevent any action against Iran without Congressional approval.


Iranian Reaction/Retaliation

Countries Iran has Attacked During the Conflict:

Iran has retaliated against Operation Epic Fury by attacking civilian areas and US military facilities in Middle East countries.


3 US Service Members have been killed and 5 wounded so far in Operation Epic Fury. The losses reportedly happened at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.

US Military Facilities Struck During Operation:


Iran has attacked at least two vessels attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Maersk and other shipping companies have announced that they will no longer attempt to traverse the strait and are anchoring on both sides.

Iran struck a residential building in Israel killing at least nine civilians.

What Today’s Actions/Results Mean

Congressional Democrats are pulling focus off of their ‘defund DHS’ effort due to backlash over safety. They are turning that energy to a war powers resolution to shut down Operation Epic Fury, despite the early success of the mission. Democrats apparently need someone to get nuked by a terrorist regime in order to do anything – unless the president is a Democrat, in which case, zero justification is required.


World Reaction

United Kingdom

Britain has granted the United States permission to use UK bases for strikes to take out Iran’s ballistic missiles. This is reported to have been in direct response to a US request to use said bases.

Pakistan

At least 6 people were killed and more than 50 wounded attempting to storm US consulate in Karachi.
