Due to the lack of concrete results between the U.S. and Iran regarding the nuclear program, the U.S. and Israel launched military airstrikes against Iran on February 28, while Iran on the same day began striking Israel and U.S. facilities in the region with missiles and UAVs. A two-week ceasefire agreement between the sides was reached on April 7 through Pakistan’s mediation. Talks held between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad on April 11 ended without an agreement.
