Operation Epic Fury targets Iran's missile and naval assets to halt nuclear ambitions and militant support, with at least 1,230 deaths in Iran reported, U.S. and Israeli forces continue strikes.

  • On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump said he will have the final word on when the war with Iran ends, coordinating the decision with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel.
  • They spoke on Friday, March 6th about the war's state, potential American casualties, and what an Iranian surrender might look like, while Pete Hegseth discussed these in a CBS News interview filmed in Washington, D.C.
  • Military officials report thousands of strikes against roughly 3,000 targets in Iran, with the campaign in early stages; the Iranian Navy is largely no more after severe degradation, and a U.S. soldier died from wounds sustained in an Iranian attack.
  • Calling Netanyahu a wartime leader, Trump urged President Isaac Herzog to grant him a pardon immediately and criticized Herzog for not doing so.
  • Assessing future risks, the secretary noted Russia reportedly provides intelligence to Iran and said there are no U.S. 'boots on the ground' inside Iran but did not rule out that possibility in the future.
