day 10...

Iran projected defiance in the face of expanding U.S.-Israeli attacks on Monday by naming a son of its slain supreme leader as his successor, disregarding warnings from the Trump administration, while a surge in oil prices signaled growing alarm over the war’s effect on the global economy.

The new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was appointed by senior clerics days after President Trump declared that he was an “unacceptable choice” and amid Israeli threats to kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s successor. Iran’s military and hard-line political forces trumpeted the selection, but in Tehran, opponents of the government were heard chanting “Death to Mojtaba” from their windows — reflecting widespread if muted dissent.

As the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, which has killed hundreds of people, spreads to the wider Middle East, fears of a prolonged conflict have rippled across the world.

Oil prices briefly surged to almost $120 per barrel, their highest level since the Covid pandemic, and markets in Asia and Europe fell again. In the United States, Democrats said rising oil prices would inflame an affordability crisis. And Mr. Trump’s plans for the next steps in the war, let alone its endgame, remain very much unclear.

As the conflict entered its 10th day, Iran continued to retaliate with attacks on Israel and U.S. allies across the Persian Gulf. Israel said it was bombing across Iran, including in the country’s far-flung south.

At least one person was killed in Israel during an Iranian missile attack on Monday morning, according to Magen David Adom, the Israeli emergency service, raising the death toll in the country to at least 11. Saudi Arabia said Monday it had intercepted attacks headed toward the kingdom’s massive Shaybah oil field, drones over Riyadh, the capital, and ballistic missiles targeting a Saudi air base.

The State Department said on Sunday that it had ordered nonemergency American personnel and family members to leave the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia — the latest diplomatic evacuation in the region. The announcement followed several attacks from Iran on the building and in the nearby area.

In Bahrain, the state-owned energy company declared that it could no longer fulfill its contracts, citing the ongoing conflict and a recent attack on its refinery complex.

Iran’s retaliation against the Gulf has infuriated Arab governments. Qatar’s prime minister described the Iranian attacks as a “betrayal” in a televised interview. On Monday, Saudi Arabia warned Iran “would be the greatest loser” in the event of “a widening of escalation.”

After a day of conflicting signals about when the war against Iran might end, President Trump struck a belligerent tone Monday evening, warning of even more aggressive action if Iranian leaders tried to cut off the world’s energy supply.

“We will hit them so hard that it will not be possible for them or anybody else helping them to ever recover that section of the world,” Mr. Trump said, meeting with reporters.

Earlier in the day, the president suggested that the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran could be near an end. The war “is very complete, pretty much,” Mr. Trump said in a phone interview with a CBS reporter, Weijia Jiang. He said, “We’re very far ahead of schedule.”

Those comments appeared to ease market fears of a prolonged war. Oil prices dropped and stocks rose. But after markets closed for the day, Mr. Trump appeared to switch gears.

“We have won in many ways, but not enough,” he told a gathering of Republican lawmakers in Florida. “We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all.”

Asked at the news conference later if the war with Iran would be over this week, Mr. Trump said, “No.” He said only “soon, very soon.”

Mr. Trump expressed displeasure at the decision by Iran to name Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as supreme leader. Ayatollah Khamenei was killed on the first day of the war, but Mr. Trump did not reply directly to a question about whether his son might meet the same fate.

“I was disappointed,” he said of the selection, “because we think it’s going to lead to more of the same problem for the country.”

The international benchmark oil price, priced below $70 last month, briefly jumped to almost $120 late Sunday night, then fell after the Group of 7 wealthy nations said they were considering intervening to bring prices down. It then fell again after Mr. Trump’s remarks to CBS, ending the day below $90.

The war has all but halted ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for about one-fifth of the world’s oil. Mr. Trump claimed to CBS that the strait had reopened to shipping, though international monitors say otherwise, and said he was “thinking about taking it over,” though it was unclear what that would mean.

His plans for the next steps in the war, let alone its endgame, remained unclear. Iran has showed no sign of bowing to his demand for unconditional surrender, instead naming a son of its slain supreme leader as his successor despite Mr. Trump declaring him “unacceptable.” The president was due to speak to reporters Monday afternoon.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, boasted on social media about the soaring oil prices and called the attacks on his country “Operation Epic Mistake.” He said, “We, too, have many surprises in store.”

Israel and the United States continued to pummel Iran — Mr. Trump said U.S. forces had carried out 3,000 airstrikes since the war began nine days earlier — and Iran once again launched missiles and drones at its neighbors.

Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s new supreme leader, was appointed by senior clerics on Monday, in the face of Israeli threats to kill Ayatollah Khamenei’s successor. Iran’s military and hard-line political forces trumpeted the selection, but in Tehran, government opponents were heard chanting “Death to Mojtaba” from their windows — reflecting widespread if often muted dissent.

As the conflict raged into its 10th day, U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran had killed about 1,300 people, according to Iranian officials, while Iranian attacks across the Middle East killed more than 30. The Israeli military said it had killed more than 1,900 Iranians.

In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have killed almost 500 people, state media reported, and more than 600,000 people have been displaced, according to President Joseph Aoun. In response to rocket fire by Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants, Israeli forces have pushed into southern Lebanon and bombarded Hezbollah strongholds.

A ballistic missile launched from Iran targeted Turkey before being downed by NATO defenses, the Turkish defense ministry said. It was the second such incident announced in six days. Officials said the previous Iranian attack, on March 4, had been aimed at the Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey.

Turkey is a member of the NATO alliance, whose nations are bound to defend one another. Iran denied targeting Turkey and has yet to comment on Monday’s announcement.

day 11...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed that Tuesday would be the “most intense day” of American strikes against Iran since the start of the war after President Trump sent mixed signals about a possible end to the conflict.

Speaking at a news conference at the Pentagon, Mr. Hegseth said that “the most fighters, the most bombers” would be deployed on Tuesday and that the U.S. military was giving Mr. Trump “maximum options” to conduct the war.

But Mr. Hegseth, who said last week that the conflict could last three to eight weeks, argued that it was up to Mr. Trump to assess whether “it’s the beginning, the middle or the end.”

“He gets to control the throttle,” he said of Mr. Trump, who on Monday said the war could end “very soon” before warning of even more aggressive action if Iranian leaders continue to choke off oil tanker traffic.

The comments were among several indicating that the main parties in the war were sticking to their positions, with no talk of diplomatic efforts to end a conflict that has killed over 1,000 people and that has seriously disrupted global energy markets.

Ali Larijani, Iran’s top national security official, warned Mr. Trump to “take care of yourself, so that you are not eliminated,” after the president said that the United States would hit Iran “twenty times harder” if it tried to stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

Israel’s military announced a new wave of strikes in Tehran, the Iranian capital, on Tuesday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he hoped the Iranian people would oust the Islamic Republic and that “ultimately, it is up to them” on when the war would end.

Fighting has slowed ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for about one-fifth of the world’s oil. Warships from Pakistan, which heavily relies on energy imports from the Gulf, were escorting merchant vessels on Tuesday to ensure its access to energy supplies.

Mr. Trump has given shifting answers about the length of the military campaign and its objectives.

In a phone interview with CBS on Monday, he said the war “is very complete, pretty much.” Oil prices dropped, and stocks rose after those comments. But he struck a different tone after U.S. markets closed later in the day.

“We have won in many ways, but not enough,” he told a gathering of Republican lawmakers in Florida. Asked later if the war would be over this week, Mr. Trump said, “No.” He said only: “soon, very soon.”

Retaliatory strikes from Iran continued to batter countries in the Persian Gulf as the conflict raged into its 11th day.

Qatar said it had intercepted another missile attack. Bahrain’s Ministry of the Interior said that one person had been killed in an Iranian attack that hit a residential building in the capital, Manama. A drone attack caused a fire at an oil refinery and petrochemical complex in the United Arab Emirates, the emirate’s government media office said.

In Lebanon, militants for Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia group, appeared to step up their attacks on Israeli forces on Tuesday, after heavy Israeli bombardment the day before.

The Israeli military responded with a new wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and urged residents to flee. “I’m leaving the town with tears,” said Shadi Sayah, the mayor of Alma al-Shaab, a Lebanese village that was ordered to evacuate. “We are peaceful people.”

Almost 700,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon over the past week, according to the U.N. refugee agency.

Trump administration officials sent mixed messages on Tuesday about the goals, timeline and tactics of the war against Iran, the latest in a string of muddled statements throughout the fighting, which has so far killed more than 1,800 people and disrupted global energy markets.

The confusion was typified by Chris Wright, the U.S. energy secretary, saying on social media that a Navy warship had “successfully escorted” an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, where the war has slowed ship traffic. Shortly afterward, a military official said that had not happened, and the social media post was deleted.

The day before, President Trump threatened to strike Iran “TWENTY TIMES HARDER” if it moved to stop the flow of oil through the strait, even though Tehran had already begun doing so days earlier.

And in a news briefing at the White House, the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said that President Trump, and not the leaders of Iran, would be the one to declare that Iran had unconditionally surrendered — one of the conditions he has laid out for ending the war.

“When President Trump says that Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender, he’s not claiming the Iranian regime is going to come out and say that themselves,” she said.

Early in the day. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters that Tuesday would be marked by a significant increase in American and Israeli strikes on Iran. As midnight passed in the Middle East that had not appeared to take shape, though Israel did begin a wave of attacks early Wednesday local time.

As Washington again struggled to come up with a consistent narrative for the war, a humanitarian crisis loomed in Lebanon, where nearly 700,000 people have been driven from their homes, the United Nations said Tuesday. Israel’s mass evacuation orders and bombing campaign have transformed the country into a major new front in the expanding Middle East war. Airstrikes there continued on Tuesday.

In Beirut and its densely packed surrounding area, tens of thousands of people fleeing Israel’s attacks on the Iranian-backed armed group Hezbollah were living in schools and government buildings. Others slept in cars and on sidewalks along the city’s seaside promenade.

More than 667,000 people have registered on the Lebanese government’s online displacement platform, the U.N. migration agency said on Tuesday, citing government figures. That included more than 100,000 in the past 24 hours, it said.

Israel’s military also announced a new wave of strikes in Tehran, the Iranian capital, on Tuesday, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he hoped the Iranian people would oust the Islamic republic. “Ultimately, it is up to them” when the war ends, he said.

Some Iranians said the strikes overnight Monday into Tuesday were among the worst so far. “It seems they are striking everywhere: homes, schools, mosques, hospitals,” said one resident, Javad, who asked to withhold his full name out of concern for retaliation.

American injuries: The Pentagon said on Tuesday that Iranian strikes, which have killed seven U.S. service members since the war with the United States and Israel began, had also wounded 140 U.S. service members, eight severely.

Death toll: U.S. and Israeli strikes have killed about 1,300 people in Iran, according to Iranian officials, while Iranian attacks across the Middle East have killed at least 30. Israeli strikes have killed more than 500 people in Lebanon, state media reported.

U.S. casualties: Iranian strikes have killed seven American troops, and injured 140 U.S. service members overall, the Pentagon said on Tuesday. Of that number, military officials said 108 have returned to duty, but eight are severely injured

Missiles, drones and airstrikes pound the Middle East into the 12th day of the war.

Sirens sounded around the Middle East late on Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning as Israel and the United States kept up their attacks on Iran, while Iranian forces retaliated, targeting Israel and American allies in the region.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said late on Tuesday that it was beginning the 35th wave of its operation, attacking American military bases in the Middle East and locations in central Israel, according to Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards.

The Israeli military also said late on Tuesday that it had begun “an additional wave” of strikes on Iranian government targets in Tehran. About 20 minutes later, the Israeli military announced that it had identified missiles coming from Iran and had sent directives for the public to shelter in protected spaces.

And the practice repeated shortly thereafter, with the Israeli military telling residents they were free to leave protected spaces, only to send some people back to shelters an hour later.

In Lebanon, residents of Beirut, the capital, reported explosions from Israeli airstrikes targeting Dahiya, a densely populated area on the southern outskirts of the city known as a stronghold of the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The explosions were seen and heard across the city and continued for hours, residents said.

Residents said the explosions started in the afternoon, several hours after the Israeli military issued an evacuation warning. The Israeli military spokesman posted on social media earlier Tuesday that Hezbollah was hiding its weapons in the area. After midnight in the Middle East, the Israeli military said it was attacking Hezbollah infrastructure in the Dahiya area “in parallel” to the attacks on Iran.

Hezbollah said in a statement that it had conducted 30 attacks on Tuesday.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health said that at least 95 people had been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon on Tuesday.

Elsewhere in the Middle East, the effects of the war also continued to be felt widely.

Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior warned residents to seek shelter as sirens sounded early on Wednesday morning in the kingdom. Bahrain’s Defense Force reported late Tuesday that 106 missiles and 176 drones had been intercepted since the conflict began.

The Kuwaiti Defense Ministry said that it had detected five drones entering the country’s airspace on Tuesday.

Qatar’s Defense Ministry said across several announcements Tuesday that it had faced seven missile attacks.

Early on Wednesday, Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry reported intercepting four drones and seven ballistic missiles in several attacks. As of Tuesday, it had reported more than 110 drone attacks, at least nine ballistic missile launches and six cruise missiles aimed at the kingdom since the fighting began late last month.

The United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry also said early on Wednesday that it was contending with a barrage of ballistic missiles coming from Iran. Late Tuesday, the ministry said that it had detected nine ballistic missiles and 35 drones through the day. It noted that since the fighting began, 1,475 Iranian drones, more than 260 ballistic missiles and eight cruise missiles had targeted the Emirates.
