Today’s War Updates: US-Israeli War on Iran
On March 6, 2026, the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran entered its seventh day, with strikes intensifying across Iran and Lebanon as explosions were reported overnight. U.S. forces have struck nearly 200 targets inside Iran in the past 72 hours, as the death toll surpasses 1,200 in Iran and 217 in Lebanon. Israel continues heavy bombardment across southern Beirut and southern Lebanon, while H*zbollah has issued evacuation orders for Israeli settlements near the border. Meanwhile, Iran has launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes across West Asia targeting U.S. military installations, Gulf states, and Tel Aviv. With the Strait of Hormuz still closed, halting roughly 20% of global oil shipments, oil prices are surging as tensions escalate, with Donald Trump demanding Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and Tehran vowing to keep defending itself.
