One hundred days since the United States and Israel launched their military campaign against Iran, the conflict has devolved into an unpredictable war of attrition, far from the "very quick" promise President Donald Trump once made.
A ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, announced on April 8, has done little to stem the bloodshed. The Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed to shipping, peace talks teeter on the brink of collapse, and attacks continue on multiple fronts.
Israel has expanded the war from Iran to Lebanon, causing a higher death toll and displacing over 1 million people as it extends its occupation of southern Lebanon, razing entire villages.
According to statistics, Israel has killed at least 3,593 people in Lebanon, while the US and Israel have killed at least 3,468 people in Iran. About 29 people have died in Gulf states, along with 26 in Israel and 13 US soldiers in Iranian attacks.
A photo essay documenting 100 days of war across Iran, Lebanon, and the wider region — from devastated neighborhoods and crowded funerals to missile-hit airports, gridlocked roads, and staged protests — bears witness to the human toll of an unending conflict.
