By Press TV Website Staff

The unprovoked and illegal war was launched on February 28, in the middle of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, as the United States and the Israeli regime carried out indiscriminate strikes across multiple Iranian provinces, including Tehran.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several top-ranking military commanders, was assassinated in the first wave of the cowardly aggression.

In the days that followed, as Iranian armed forces inflicted heavy blows on the enemy through powerful retaliatory operations under the banner ‘Operation True Promise 4’.
