Background

Has Iran been attacked in 2026?
The timeline above lists every strike on or by Iran reported in the last 12 months, newest first, with each report attributed to its outlet. Artesh does not issue its own verdict on contested claims; where Iranian and international accounts differ, both appear.
When did Iran and Israel first strike each other directly?
On 13–14 April 2024 Iran launched roughly 300 drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation for the Israeli strike on its consulate in Damascus (1 April 2024); nearly all were intercepted with US, UK, French and Jordanian help. Israel struck an air-defence radar near Isfahan on 19 April. A second exchange followed on 1 October 2024 (about 180 Iranian ballistic missiles) and 26 October 2024 (Israeli strikes on Iranian air defences and missile production). Before 2024 the two fought through proxies and covert operations.
What happened in the June 2025 war?
On 13 June 2025 Israel launched a large air campaign against Iran's nuclear and missile programme, air defences and senior commanders; Iran answered with waves of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel. On 22 June the United States struck the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites with B-2 bombers and cruise missiles; Iran fired missiles at the US base at Al Udeid in Qatar on 23 June, with advance warning and no reported casualties. A ceasefire took effect on 24 June after twelve days. Casualty figures and the extent of damage to the nuclear programme remain disputed.
Did Iran strike the Gulf states in 2026?
Yes, according to Gulf and international reporting compiled in Artesh's archive: in February–March 2026 Iranian missiles and drones hit targets in the United Arab Emirates (including damage at Dubai International Airport) and Bahrain. The UAE withdrew its ambassador and closed its Tehran embassy on 1 March 2026 and suspended trade with Iran in August 2026; Bahrain condemned the strikes as a violation of its sovereignty. Tehran's Imam Khomeini airport was closed to international flights until late April 2026. The dated reports, from both sides, are in the timeline above and the claims tracker.
Where has Iran struck in the past?
Iranian missile and drone strikes since 2017 have hit Islamic State targets in Syria (2017, 2018), Kurdish opposition camps in Iraqi Kurdistan (repeatedly, including September–November 2022 and January 2024), the Ain al-Asad base in Iraq housing US troops (8 January 2020, after the US killing of Qassem Soleimani), alleged militant sites in Pakistan's Balochistan (16 January 2024, answered by Pakistani strikes two days later), Israel (2024, 2025), the US base at Al Udeid (2025) and, in 2026, the UAE and Bahrain. Iran has also seized or attacked commercial ships in and near the Strait of Hormuz; see the Hormuz page.
Who has struck Iran?
Israel (covert sabotage and assassinations over many years; open air strikes in April and October 2024 and the June 2025 war), the United States (22 June 2025 strikes on nuclear sites; the 2020 killing of Soleimani in Baghdad), Pakistan (January 2024, Baluch militant targets in Sistan-Baluchestan), and non-state attackers inside Iran, including Islamic State (Kerman bombing, 3 January 2024, which killed about 95 people) and Baluch and Kurdish armed groups. Iran attributes many unexplained explosions to Israel; Artesh reports those attributions as claims.
