Operation Lion's Roar

About

Close

On February 28, 2026, Israel and the United States launched a comprehensive military operation aimed at striking the Ayatollah regime in Iran, as well as the country’s military and nuclear infrastructure. The operation involves precision strikes deep within Iranian territory and represents a pinnacle in the long-standing strategic struggle between Tehran and Jerusalem.

The Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) is working around the clock on multidisciplinary research regarding the operation and its implications. This page features all INSS publications on the topic that have been made publicly available.

Interactive Map: Operation Epic Fury (Lion's Roar)
This interactive map provides a strategic situational overview of the Middle East theater during the joint Israeli-American operation against Iran. It features Israeli and U.S. strikes across the region, Iranian strikes within Arab nations, U.S. force deployments, and Iranian military facilities and bases. Additionally, users can enable an optional layer displaying strikes from Operation Rising Lion for comparative analysis. The map is updated continuously with the highest possible precision, based on open-source intelligence (OSINT) and media reports.
