The war in Iran, launched by the United States and Israel on February 28, marked its first month on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Thousands have been killed across the Middle East, with widespread destruction leaving many families homeless. At a United Nations press conference on Friday, Maria Martinez, head of the Iranian Red Crescent delegation, said medical teams were still rescuing survivors from collapsed buildings, with some workers finding their own relatives among the dead.

The conflict has expanded beyond Iran into neighboring Gulf areas. Since February 28, at least 1,900 people have been killed in Iran. In Lebanon, Israeli attacks since March 2 have killed 1,142 people, including 122 children, and injured 3,315 others. Iraq has reported 96 deaths, including 13 in the Kurdistan region. Four Palestinians were killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank by Iranian missile strikes.

The U.S. Central Command confirmed the deaths of 13 American soldiers since the war began. Israel reported 19 civilian deaths within its territory and four soldiers killed in southern Lebanon.
