Iran Fires Back in the Gulf as U.S. Strikes Escalate

Iran launched attacks on American bases in the Gulf in retaliation for a wave of U.S. strikes, while Washington said it had hit more than 80 Iranian targets to degrade Tehran’s ability to threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran claimed it struck about 85 key sites around Bandar Salman, Bahrain, and Kuwait, raising tensions and threatening the fragile ceasefire as talks pause during funeral events for Supreme Leader Khamenei; oil prices rose on the renewed confrontation and negotiations in Doha remain on hold.

Strait of Hormuz: US-Iran exchange strikes as Trump says ceasefire holds

US forces say they struck Iranian targets in self-defence after Iran fired missiles, drones and small boats at three US Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz; Iran claims it attacked ‘enemy’ units after a US strike on an Iranian tanker, with drones shot down and explosions reported near Qeshm and Bandar Abbas. Washington says it intercepted inbound threats and does not seek escalation, while Trump says the ceasefire holds but warns Tehran to sign a deal or face consequences.

Ceasefire Persists After Hormuz Clash Between US and Iran

Trump says the US-Iran ceasefire remains in place after a late-night exchange of fire in the Strait of Hormuz; the US framed its response as self-defence against Iranian attacks on US ships, while Iran claimed it damaged US forces and accused Washington of violating the ceasefire. The incident unfolds amid ongoing talks on a peace framework and warnings from both sides of possible escalation if conditions aren’t met.

Iran Withstands Heavy Strikes Yet Remains a Relentless Adversary

Iran has absorbed massive US-Israeli attacks that have degraded its military but it remains a stubborn regional foe. The country is still capable of strikes in the region, including actions linked to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and damage to facilities in Kuwait, signaling that while weakened, Iran shows resilience and willingness to retaliate against perceived adversaries.

Iran-Gulf Tensions Surge as Attacks, Interceptions, and Hormuz Standstill Emerge

As Iran continues its campaign against Gulf states, Saudi Arabia says missiles and drones were intercepted while Kuwait reports port damage; Tehran also claims the Strait of Hormuz is closed and says ships were turned back, signaling a broader traffic disruption. Iran is moving to formalize transit fees for vessels, drawing international concern. Concurrently, President Trump says talks with Iran are going very well and has extended a pause on strikes against energy sites to April 6, with European officials signaling possible direct talks amid market jitters from the war uncertainty.

US F-35 forced to emergency landing after suspected Iranian fire, officials say

A U.S. F-35 conducting a combat mission over Iran was damaged by what is believed to be Iranian fire and made an emergency landing at a U.S. airbase in the Middle East. The pilot is reported in stable condition and the incident is under investigation. If confirmed, it would mark the first time Iran has struck a U.S. aircraft in the current conflict; the jet is valued at about $100 million.

NCTC Director Resigns, Citing Iran War as Israel-Driven Pressure and Lack of Threat

Joe Kent, head of the US National Counterterrorism Center, resigns saying he cannot support a war with Iran he views as not posing an imminent threat and claims it was driven by Israeli pressure and a powerful American lobby. Trump dismisses the resignation, while Kent links his stance to his wife’s death in a conflict he says was manufactured by Israel, highlighting internal dissent within the Trump administration over the Iran conflict.

Three Weeks More of War in Iran, U.S.-Israel Push Escalates

The conflict shows no quick end: US-Israel officials say Iran’s war could run about three more weeks, with thousands of targets still ahead, as strikes hit Kharg Island and various Iranian sites. President Trump seeks a new, solid deal while Tehran rejects negotiations; regional actors face spillovers and the Strait of Hormuz election-momentum grows into a broader maritime security debate, with oil markets and Gulf economies bracing for disruption.

Iran War Update: Air Defenses Hold, Strait Risks Mount as Tensions Escalate

Iran War Update: Air Defenses Hold, Strait Risks Mount as Tensions Escalate

ISW-CTP’s March 11 evening update says Iran’s strikes on Gulf air defenses have not degraded them; UAE intercepted 241 of 262 missiles (about 92%). Iran appears to be weighing heavy mining of the Strait of Hormuz to disrupt traffic while preserving export routes via a Goreh-Jask workaround. The campaign targets Tehran’s security sites and Kurdish border areas; Russia is sharing drone tactics and China is supplying solid-fuel precursors. Israel and UAE have responded with strikes on Iranian facilities, and CENTCOM reports U.S. forces have struck thousands of Iranian targets (around 5,500). A leadership shift toward Mojtaba Khamenei signals a harder line, while Hezbollah and Iranian-backed Iraqi militias have escalated attacks against Israel and U.S. forces, broadening the conflict.

Live updates show a rapidly escalating Iran–Israel crisis: Trump says he’s not happy about Mojtaba Khamenei becoming Iran’s next supreme leader, as U.S.-led strikes persist and Iran launches missiles and drones at regional targets, including Tel Aviv. The UN considers a GCC-backed condemnation of Iran, thousands of Americans are evacuated, and Australia offers asylum to Iranian women’s soccer players amid mounting diplomatic and security tensions related to the Strait of Hormuz and global energy markets.
