Iran has been exchanging missile attacks with the US and Israel

The war began on 28 February 2026, when the United States and Israel launched coordinated air and missile strikes inside Iran targeting military and leadership sites. These attacks hit multiple Iranian cities including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah.

One of the most dramatic events was the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in an airstrike on Tehran. The US and Israel said the goal was to stop Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities and potentially force regime change.

The Iranian military responded almost immediatel by launching hundreds of missiles and drones at targets across the region, including Israeli cities and US military bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Videos of missile attacks in conflict zones have been circulating online

Clips of missile attacks from Iran targeting US military assets in the conflict zones have been widely circulated online, but practice caution as many of them are generated by artificial intelligence (AI).

Some Malaysians have also shared their experiences on social media, such as this individual who witnessed missile interceptors launching right outside where they live.

Perhaps the most widely shared video early last week was of a “missile” hitting Fairmont The Palm, a luxury hotel in Dubai. Photos and footage of the hotel in flames took over social media feeds, and news reports say four people were injured.
