What the US and Israel Have Targeted in Their Iran Blitz

Trump outlined objectives to destroy Iran's missiles, navy, and nuclear capabilities while the campaign has killed senior Iranian leaders and caused nearly 1,200 civilian deaths, analysts say.

  • March 6, President Masoud Pezeshkian announced joint U.S.-Israeli strikes inside Iran targeting military and leadership capacity.
  • U.S. officials noted the strikes responded to Iran killing Americans for 47 years and alleged nuclear work, while regime change was discussed but not an explicit military objective.
  • At least 1,230 people have been killed in Iran since the offensive began, the Iranian Red Crescent Society reported, and the Israeli military said it struck more than 400 targets in Tehran while six U.S. troops have died.
  • Benchmark U.S. crude rose above $90 on Friday, as shipping in the Strait of Hormuz halted and Emirates suspended flights at Dubai International Airport.
  • CNN reported that the US and Israel operate in lock-step, but international warnings and analyst concerns highlight the risk of regional escalation, including in Lebanon.
