Today's War Updates: US-Israeli War on Iran
On March 9, 2026, the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran entered its tenth day. Iran’s Assembly of Experts has named Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader, a move Trump called “unacceptable.” Israeli strikes have escalated to targeting Iranian oil facilities in Tehran and Alborz, sending massive smoke over the capital, while Israel continues heavy bombardment across Lebanon, with the death toll exceeding 480 and more than 700,000 Lebanese civilians displaced. Iran and H*zbollah have intensified missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets, while Iranian strikes on U.S. assets continue across the Gulf. Oil prices have surged past $120 a barrel amid growing fears the war could further destabilize the entire region.
