Trump says Iran will be 'hit very hard' on Saturday

President Trump threatened severe retaliation against Iran, citing its 'bad behavior' amid a week-long conflict involving U.S. and Israeli airstrikes and Iranian missile attacks.

  • On March 7, 2026, President Donald Trump warned he would ramp up strikes as U.S. and Israeli forces hit Tehran, igniting fires over an oil storage site.
  • U.S. Central Command reported U.S. forces struck more than 3,000 targets during the operation's first week, underscoring the campaign's intensity.
  • Six U.S. service members have died, and Iran's UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani reported at least 1,332 Iranian civilians killed.
  • Global markets reacted as the Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed, and flights in and out of Dubai International Airport were halted after blasts and passengers were directed into train tunnels, according to authorities.
  • A temporary leadership council approved a pause in attacks, and the Assembly of Experts may meet within 24 hours to select a new leader, while Indonesia offered mediation earlier this week.
