ASSESSING THE LEGALITY OF FORCE IN THE 2026 US-ISRAEL-IRAN CONFLICT: AN INTERNATIONAL LAW ANALYSIS
jus in bello, UN Charter, nuclear proliferation, Operation Roaring Lion, Epic Fury.
The US-Israel-Iran War began on February 28, 2026, initiated by Operation Roaring Lion (Israel) and Operation Epic Fury (US), which raised critical inquiries regarding the fundamental tenets of international law related to the use of force. Coordinated airstrikes targeted over 20 Iranian nuclear facilities, IRGC command centers, and leadership, culminating in the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran—an act that President Donald Trump characterized as essential for regime change, neutralizing nuclear threats, and dismantling missile programs, particularly in light of Iran's 90% uranium enrichment and its support for proxy groups such as Hezbollah, Houthis, and Hamas.
