Today's War Updates: US-Israeli War on Iran
On March 9, the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran entered its eleventh day. Deadly airstrikes hit residential areas in Arak and Tehran, with dozens reported killed, as explosions erupted during a large pro-government gathering in Tehran’s Revolution Square. Iranian officials say 1,348 people have been killed and more than 17,000 wounded since the war began. Iran has launched new waves of retaliatory strikes targeting Israeli sites and U.S. bases across the region, while Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq report dozens of operations against Israeli and U.S. positions. As Israel expands attacks in Beirut’s southern suburbs and reports emerge of white phosphorus use in southern Lebanon, tensions are also rising around the Strait of Hormuz after Iran warned it could halt regional oil exports if U.S. and Israeli attacks continue.
