Why the U.S. And Israel Struck Iran: The History, the Triggers, and What Happens Next in 2026

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran. The world changed before breakfast.

Iran on Fire is the essential guide to understanding how we got here - and where we're heading next.

In clear, accessible language, this book breaks down 70 years of U.S.-Iran hostility, Israel's decades-long shadow war with Tehran, the collapse of nuclear diplomacy, and the proxy network that turned the entire Middle East into a single connected system of pressure and retaliation.

This isn't just a book about today's headlines. It's the story behind them.

What you'll understand after reading:

• Why the U.S.-Iran relationship has been uniquely poisoned since 1953
• How Iran built a ring of armed proxies from Lebanon to Yemen
• Why nuclear diplomacy kept failing - and what finally collapsed it
• What Operation Epic Fury is really trying to achieve
• What happens next, and what to watch for

Written in real time, on the day the shadow war went loud.
