Israel-Iran war LIVE: Hegseth says ‘we are winning’ in war against Iran as U.S. ramps up to ‘most intense day of strikes’

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ‌offered different options to ⁠mediate and ways to reduce tensions in ‌the Iran conflict and ‌these proposals ‌are still ⁠on the ⁠table, the Kremlin said on Tuesday (March 10, 2026).

Moscow is ‌ready to provide any assistance it can ‌to reduce the tensions in the West Asia, ⁠Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told ‌reporters.

He declined to provide additional details on the specifics of the “considerations” ‌on Iran that Mr. Putin raised on a ⁠call with U.S. President ⁠Donald Trump.- Reuters

The New York Times has authenticated video uploaded by Iran’s semi-official Mehr News showing a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile striking a structure described as a clinic inside a Revolutionary Guards’ base next to the school.

Investigate the alleged U.S.-Israeli strike on an Iranian school, resulting in significant casualties amidst ongoing Middle East tensions.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that Washington would respond with stronger strikes if Tehran disrupts oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy shipping routes. Commercial traffic through the strait has sharply declined amid rising tensions in West Asia. Trump also said the U.S. is easing certain oil-related sanctions to keep global oil supplies stable.

U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said today attacks on Iran will ramp up with the heaviest strikes since Washington launched the war 10 days ago.

“Today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran,” Mr. Hegseth told a news conference at the Pentagon.

A drone attack caused a fire in an industrial zone in the emirate of Abu Dhabi today, UAE authorities said, in an area that houses oil and energy infrastructure.

“Authorities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi are responding to a fire at a facility within the Ruwais Industrial City, caused by a drone attack. No injuries have been reported so far,” the Abu Dhabi media office said in a statement on X.

Authorities did not say whether any energy infrastructure had been hit.

Several loud explosions were heard in the Qatari capital Doha, AFP journalists reported, with the Defence Ministry saying the military had intercepted a missile attack.

The Qatari interior ministry warned people that “the security threat level is high” and called on them to stay indoors.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a phone call with his counterpart in Turkiye on March 10, says Iran never launched projectiles to Turkiye and stresses need for vigilance over ‘plots to destroy bilateral ties’ by Israel.- Reuters

Iran’s security chief Ali Larijani dismissed on Tuesday (March 10) threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to hit the country harder if the flow of oil stops through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

“Iran is not afraid of your empty threats. Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Take care of yourself not to be eliminated!” said Mr. Larijani in a post on X.- AFP

The Israeli military said on Tuesday (March 10) it had begun a new wave of strikes on Tehran, on the 11th day of the Iran war.

Iran has pressed its attacks against Qatar’s infrastructure, the Gulf state’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday (March 10), over a week after Iranian drone strikes forced a halt to Qatari gas production.

“The targeting of civilian infrastructure continues... and we rebuke any justification that the Iranians are offering for these attacks,” Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said without specifying which civilian facilities had been targeted in Qatar.- AFP

Russia is so far the only winner of the Iran war, EU chief Antonio Costa said on Tuesday (March 10), lamenting that Moscow profited from soaring energy prices sparked by U.S.-Israeli strikes and Tehran’s retaliation.

The diversion of military capabilities -- and attention -- from Ukraine to the West Asia, also benefited Russia, Costa, who presides over the European Council representing the bloc’s member states, said.

“So far, there is only one winner in this war -- Russia,” he told European Union ambassadors in Brussels. “It steadily undermines Ukraine’s position by flouting international law. It gains new resources to finance its war against Ukraine as energy prices rise.”- AFP

A ‌senior Gulf energy industry official ⁠said on Tuesday ‌(March 10, 2026) stopping the Iran ‌war ‌was ⁠the only ⁠option when asked if there ‌were ways of getting oil ‌and gas moving again through ⁠the Strait of ‌Hormuz.

The official spoke on condition of ‌anonymity, given the sensitivity of the ⁠matter. - Reuters.

Azerbaijan on Tuesday (March 10, 2026) sent humanitarian aid to Iran, appearing to offer an olive branch days after an Iranian drone attack sparked fears of the West Asia war spilling into the Caucasus.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev ordered the armed forces to prepare retaliatory measures, placing them on the highest level of mobilisation, and its diplomats were pulled out of the country.

Iran’s military denied launching the drones and accused Azerbaijan’s ally Israel of staging a provocation.

But in an apparent sign of detente, Azerbaijan’s Emergency Situations Ministry said on Tuesday it had shipped tonnes of food and medicines to Iran “following the telephone conversation on March 8 between the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Iran”.- AFP

Turkey said on Tuesday (March 10, 2026) a Patriot missile defence system was being deployed in the centre of the country, a day after NATO intercepted a second ballistic missile fired from Iran in Turkish airspace.

The move was announced after a phone call between Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iran’s Masoud Pezeshkian, with the Iranian President denying the missile had been fired from Iran.

“Necessary measures are being taken for the security of our borders and airspace, and consultations are being held with NATO and our allies.

“In addition to the measures we have taken at the national level, NATO has strengthened its air and missile defence measures,” a Turkish Defence Ministry statement said.- AFP

Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday (March 10, 2026) that Iraq should not be used as a launch pad for attacks in the West Asia war.

Within hours of the start of the war, fighter jets and missiles coming from every direction filled Iraq’s airspace.

Mr. Sudani stressed in a phone call with Rubio “the importance of ensuring that Iraqi airspace, territory, and waters are not used for any military action targeting neighbouring countries or the region,” the Prime Minister’s media office said.

Mr. Sudani rejected “any attempt to drag the country into ongoing conflicts,” as well as “violations of its airspace by any party.”- AFP

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel’s military offensive against Iran was “not done yet”, saying the operation was degrading Iran’s clerical leadership.

“Our aspiration is to bring the Iranian people to cast off the yoke of tyranny; ultimately, it depends on them. But there is no doubt that with the actions taken so far, we are breaking their bones -- and we are not done yet,” Mr. Netanyahu said during a visit to the National Health Command Centre on Monday (March 9, 2026) night, according to a statement published on Tuesday (March 10, 2026).- AFP

Egypt raised domestic fuel prices by up to 30% on Tuesday (March 10, 2026), blaming “exceptional” global energy pressures caused by the West Asia war, which has disrupted oil supplies and shipping routes.

The increases, announced by the Petroleum Ministry, apply to gasoline, diesel and natural gas used in vehicles.

In a statement, the Ministry said the adjustments were driven by “disruptions in supply chains, rising risk levels and higher maritime shipping and insurance costs”, which have pushed petroleum product prices to “levels not seen in years”.- AFP

Aramco warns of catastrophic oil market consequences if shipping disruption in the Strait of Hormuz continues amid ongoing Iran conflict.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday they targeted a U.S. base in Iraq’s Kurdistan region as the war with the United States and Israel continues.

“The headquarters of the invading U.S. army in Al-Harir Air Base in the Kurdistan region was targeted with five missiles,” the Guards said in a statement on their Telegram channel.

Iranian forces will not allow the export of oil from the region to allies of the United States and Israel as long as the war continues, a Revolutionary Guards spokesman said on Tuesday (March 10, 2026).

“The Iranian armed forces... will not allow the export of a single litre of oil from the region to the hostile side and its partners until further notice,” said Ali Mohammad Naini, according to a report from Iran’s Tasnim news agency.

He said any change would take place based on the conditions of the conflict.- AFP

Germany has temporarily pulled staff from its embassy in ‌Baghdad out of Iraq because of heightened security ⁠risks amid the conflict in the Middle East, a ‌Foreign Ministry spokesperson said late on Monday.

“The ‌personnel of the ‌German ⁠embassy in Baghdad ⁠has now been temporarily relocated from Iraq because of the threat situation,” the ‌spokesperson said, adding that the safety of staff was being continuously assessed.

The ‌embassy remains reachable, though its legal and consular services had already ⁠been severely limited for some time due to the ‌security situation, the spokesperson said.

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, speaking in Nicosia, Cyprus, late on Monday, said he ‌had discussed the regional situation with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Saudi Arabia’s oil giant Aramco reported 2025 profits of $104 billion, down from the year before as the Iran war has seen its fields and facilities targeted.

Aramco released its annual results on Tuesday. It planned to brief investors later in the day as the war that began Feb. 28 has seen Iranian drones and missiles target its facilities.

Aramco, formally known as the Saudi Arabian Oil Co., reported profits of $110 billion in 2024.

Four fighters from the Tehran-backed Kataeb Imam Ali group were killed on Tuesday in air strikes blamed on the U.S. in northern Iraq, the armed faction announced.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he will waive some sanctions on oil to boost supply and bring down prices, due to market turmoil over war in the Middle East.

The U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory attacks across the Gulf region have upended the world’s energy and transport sectors, virtually halting activity in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

“We’re also waiving certain oil-related sanctions to reduce prices,” Mr. Trump told reporters after talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He also mentioned Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“We have sanctions on some countries. We’re going to take those sanctions off till this straightens out,” Mr. Trump added.

Mr. Trump did not specify any country or provide details on which sanctions would be lifted.

-AFP

Iran’s Foreign Minister said on Tuesday his country was prepared to continue attacks for as long as necessary and ruled out talks after President Donald Trump said the war with Iran would be over “very soon”.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told U.S. broadcaster PBS News that his country was prepared to continue missile attacks and that negotiations with the United States were no longer on the agenda.

-AFP

Iran launched new attacks on Tuesday at Gulf Arab countries as it keeps up pressure on the region, while five pro-Iranian militants were killed in an airstrike northern Iraq.

Incoming missile sirens sounded early in the morning in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, while Saudi Arabia said it had destroyed two drones over its oil-rich eastern region and Kuwait’s National Guard said it had show down six drones.

In addition to firing missiles and drones at Israel and American bases in the region, Iran has also been targeting energy infrastructure which, combined with its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, has sent oil prices soaring.

-AP

The United Arab Emirates said it was intercepting a drone and missile attack from Iran on Tuesday.

“UAE air defences are currently responding to incoming missile and drone threats from Iran,” the Defence Ministry posted on X.

The Oil Ministry has constituted a committee to examine supply issues after a sudden shortage of commercial LPG cylinders alarmed the hospitality sector, with restaurant associations warning that eateries could shut down within days if supplies are not restored.

As the widening conflict in the Middle East disrupted fuel lifelines, including India’s LPG supplies, the government has prioritised domestic cooking gas supplies to households. This has led to supply crunch for hotels and restaurants which use market priced commercial LPG.

“For LPG supply to other non-domestic sectors, a committee of three Executive Directors (EDs) of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have been constituted to review the representations for LPG supply to restaurants/hotels/other industries,” the Ministry said in a post on X.

Oil Ministry forms panel to address commercial LPG shortages impacting hotels and restaurants amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday pledged to defend Cyprus and dispatch additional warships to the Eastern Mediterranean to strengthen allies’ security in the region unsettled by the Iran war.

Mr. Macron said he was visiting Cyprus primarily to show solidarity with the country, where a Shahed drone struck a British air base on the southern coast last week. It was the first drone attack of the war on European territory.

“When Cyprus is attacked, it is Europe that is attacked,” Mr. Macron said after talks with his Cypriot counterpart Nikos Christodoulides and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at Cyprus’ main air base near the southwestern town of Paphos. “We are bound to one another by strategic partnerships.”

Mr. Macron had ordered the French frigate Languedoc to waters off Cyprus, a fellow European Union member, to bolster its anti-drone and anti-missile defenses. Last week, France also sent ground-based anti-drone and anti-missile defenses.

Trump suggests a potential quick end to the Iran war, but warns of severe U.S. responses to oil supply disruptions.

Iranian fired drones towards Saudi Arabia and Kuwait early on Tuesday as the war in the Middle East shows no sign of abating.

The Saudi Defence Ministry said it has destroyed two drones over the kingdom’s oil-rich eastern region, while in Kuwait, the National Guard said it shot down six drones attacking the county’s northern and southern areas.

Iran’s latest attacks on neighboring Gulf States come as U.S. President Donald Trump sends contradictory signals about how long the war could last, fueling uncertainty that’s causing markets to swing.

Oil prices plummet while stocks soar as Trump declares the U.S.-Israel war on Iran is nearing completion.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance on Monday attended the dignified transfer ceremony for the seventh soldier killed in the Middle East war.

U.S. Army Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, died March 8 from injuries sustained in a March 1 strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

Pennington’s hometown was Glendale, Kentucky, and he was assigned to the 1st Space Battalion, 1st Space Brigade out of Fort Carson, CO.

Mr. Vance, who declined to answer questions from the press, was joined by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and General Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, at Dover Air Force Base in the eastern state of Delaware.

Five players from Iran’s visiting women’s football team claimed asylum in Australia on Tuesday, seeking protection after they were branded “traitors” at home for refusing to sing the national anthem.

Iranian players fell silent as the anthem played ahead of a tournament match in Australia last week, an act seen as a symbol of defiance against the Islamic republic.

U.S. President Donald Trump was among those urging Australia to offer the players asylum, citing grave fears for their safety if they were forced to board a plane home.

The United States has not approached Taiwan about transfers of weapons to the Middle East, Defence Minister ‌Wellington Koo said on Tuesday, after South Korea said it was ⁠in talks about the possible redeployment of some U.S. Patriot missile systems.

South Korean Foreign ‌Minister Cho Hyun said on Friday the U.S. and South Korean ‌militaries are discussing the possible redeployment ‌of ⁠some U.S. Patriot missile defence ⁠systems based in South Korea to be used in the war against Iran.

-Reuters

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday they would “determine the end of the war” in the Middle East after U.S. President Donald Trump said the conflict would end “soon”.

“It is we who will determine the end of the war,” the Guards said in a statement.

“The equations and future status of the region are now in the hands of our armed forces; American forces will not end the war,” the statement added.

-AFP

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that the war against Iran could be short-lived, but he left open the possibility of an escalation in fighting if global oil supplies are disrupted by the Islamic Republic, which chose a new hard-line supreme leader.

“We took a little excursion” to the Middle East “to get rid of some evil. And, I think you will see it is going to be a short-term excursion”, Mr. Trump told Republican lawmakers at his golf club near Miami.

Hours later, Mr. Trump posted on social media: “If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.” The war has choked off major supplies of oil and gas to world markets and sent fuel prices rising across the U.S. The fighting has also led foreigners to flee from business hubs and prompted millions to seek shelter as bombs hit military bases, government buildings, oil and water installations, hotels and at least one school.

-AP

President Donald Trump warned on Monday that ‌the U.S. would hit Iran much ⁠harder if Tehran stopped the flow of oil through ‌the Strait of Hormuz.

“If Iran ‌does anything ‌that ⁠stops the flow ⁠of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be ‌hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than ‌they have been hit thus far,” Mr. Trump wrote on ⁠social media.

“Additionally, we will take out easily ‌destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as ‌a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign ⁠upon them — But I hope, ⁠and pray, that it does ‌not happen!”
