On February 28, 2026, Israel announced what it called “preemptive” strikes on Iran — shortly after, Donald Trump described the operation as a joint U.S.–Israeli action. But was this truly an act of self-defense, or the beginning of a dangerous regional escalation?
In this video, investigative journalist and human rights lawyer Dimitri Lascaris examines the legal and political claims surrounding the strikes, questions the narrative about Iran’s nuclear program, and analyzes the first wave of retaliatory actions — including reported attacks on Israeli targets and U.S. bases across the region. He also explores the potential consequences for the Strait of Hormuz and the global economy.
This video was produced by Reason2Resist and published on their YouTube channel on the 28th of February, 2026.
