Israel steps up airstrikes in Tehran, as Iran widens its response across the region
Israel struck Iranian missile and nuclear sites; Iran retaliated against U.S. embassies and Gulf energy infrastructure, killing 787, Red Crescent reported.
- On March 3, 2026, Israel stepped up airstrikes on Iranian missile launchers and factories, and Iran retaliated across the Gulf, disrupting energy and travel, with explosions in Tehran and Lebanon and an attack on the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia.
- The administration framed the attacks as aiming to cripple Iran's military and nuclear capacity, with President Donald Trump saying the campaign targets missile capabilities, navy, and nuclear weapons.
- Casualty figures show heavy tolls in Iran and significant deaths in Lebanon and Israel, with the Red Crescent reporting at least 787 dead in Iran and fighting killing 52 in Lebanon and 11 in Israel.
- The Strait of Hormuz is closed, and the Iranian adviser to the Revolutionary Guard declared ships passing would be set on fire, helping push oil above $100 per barrel and prompting evacuations and embassy closures.
- As the war enters its fourth day, Israel has moved troops into southern Lebanon after Hezbollah fired missiles, and Iran is scrambling to choose a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
