Today's War Update: US-Israeli War on Iran and Lebanon
On March 22, 2026, the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran entered its twenty-third day. New U.S.–Israeli airstrikes hit Tehran, with explosions reported in residential areas, as Washington claimed it dropped heavy bombs on underground coastal facilities. President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum demanding Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to target its energy infrastructure, while Tehran warned it would respond by striking U.S. and Israeli energy, IT, and desalination systems across the region. Iran launched new waves of missile attacks targeting Israeli cities and U.S. bases, with impacts reported across central Israel and near sensitive sites, causing injuries and damage. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes intensified, with bridges over the Litani River targeted as H*zbollah continued rocket attacks, while the Iraqi resistance escalated operations against U.S. bases across the region.
