March 11Mar 11 Author day 12The leaders of industrialized nations were racing on Wednesday to shore up the global oil supply, after three ships in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz came under attack, in a stark illustration of how the war in the Middle East is threatening to choke off one of the key conduits for international trade.Japan, Germany and Austria will release oil from their strategic reserves in response to disruptions in the supply from the Middle East, officials in those countries said on Wednesday. They made the announcements hours before a meeting of leaders of the Group of 7 industrialized nations, including the United States, to discuss jointly releasing oil in consultation with the International Energy Agency.The attacks, which occurred within a few hours of each other, marked a sharp uptick in strikes on vessels in or near the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil transits. On Tuesday, the U.S. military said that it had attacked 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the strait, where tanker traffic has been largely paused for days because of concerns that drones or missiles could hit merchant ships.The expanding conflict has killed more than 1,800 people, mostly in Iran, and disrupted global energy markets. Soaring oil prices have driven up prices for global consumers, with gas prices in the United States rising for the 11th straight day on Wednesday, to a national average of $3.58 a gallon, according to the AAA motor club.A total of 13 ships have come under attack since Feb. 28 in the strait, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, according to the British agency, United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations. Two cargo ships reported being hit by unknown projectiles in the region on Wednesday, the agency said. A third ship was hit about 50 miles northwest of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, the agency said.The source of the projectiles was not known, although Iran has fired wide-ranging strikes across the region in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli assault that killed its supreme leader on Feb. 28. Iran launched fresh strikes on Wednesday, with several Gulf countries reporting missiles and drones heading toward their airspace. The defense ministry in the United Arab Emirates said that its air defenses were responding to incoming missiles and drones from Iran. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar said their forces had intercepted drones and missiles on Wednesday, without saying where they came from.Israel said in the early hours of the morning that it had launched a wave of strikes on Tehran, targeting what it said was the Iranian regime’s infrastructure. The Israeli military also issued alerts after detecting what it said were missiles fired at Israel from Iran.

March 11Mar 11 Author Heavy waves of airstrikes shook Beirut and Tehran on Wednesday, adding to the toll of the Iran war, as the Pentagon told Congress that the U.S. cost of the war was more than $11.3 billion in just the first six days.The dollar figure, disclosed in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill, did not include many of the expenses associated with the operation, now in its 12th day, so the ultimate cost for American taxpayers is expected to be much higher. The briefing was described by three people familiar with it, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information.The Middle East war showed no sign of letup on multiple fronts.Tehran residents and state media reported repeated drone attacks on street checkpoints manned by the Basij militia, killing several people — a relatively new development that sowed fear among residents that moving around the city could be lethal.Early on Wednesday, Israel issued an evacuation order for a large part of the southern outskirts of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, signaling that an unusually fierce barrage was coming. The Israeli bombardment in Lebanon, which started after Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel in support of Tehran — has killed more than 600 people and displaced more than 800,000, according to Lebanese officials.Several Persian Gulf countries said they intercepted incoming weapons from Iran on Wednesday.Oil prices rose on Wednesday despite the vow of a coalition of more than 30 countries to tap their reserves in order to stabilize markets, reflecting global fears of a supply crunch amid Iranian threats to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway through which one-fifth of the world’s oil transits.Here’s what else we are covering:Death toll: The death toll in Iran is unclear. Iran’s representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, told the Security Council Wednesday that more than 1,348 civilians had been killed. Dozens have also died in Iranian drone and missile attacks on Gulf countries and Israel.Tankers hit: Three cargo ships came under attack in or near the Strait of Hormuz early on Wednesday. Iran, which has said that no ships would be allowed to transit the Persian Gulf without its permission, appeared to claim responsibility for one of those strikes.Oil reserves tapped: The International Energy Agency, which has operated for decades to monitor global crude oil supplies and help prevent price shocks, said that its 32 member countries had agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil from their strategic reserves. Even so, the price of the world’s benchmark crude, which was about $89 a barrel before the announcement, rose to more than $92 in the afternoon, and gasoline prices in the United States climbed for the 11th straight day. Before the Israeli and U.S. bombing of Iran began on Feb. 28, crude traded below $73 a barrel.Trump’s remarks: President Trump, who has sent contradictory signals about the duration of the war against Iran, portrayed victory as just around the corner in an economic speech in Kentucky. “Over the past 11 days, our military has virtually destroyed Iran,” he said. “Their air force is gone. Totally gone.” But Mr. Trump has also said only Tehran’s “unconditional surrender” would end the war, and Iran has shown no sign of halting its attacks.Israel: Israel said in the early hours of the morning that it had launched a wave of strikes on Tehran, the Iranian capital, targeting what it said was the regime’s infrastructure. The Israeli military also issued alerts after detecting what it said were missiles fired from Iran.Banks threatened: Major financial institutions including Citi and HSBC temporarily closed offices in the Persian Gulf, after Iran said it would target U.S. and Israeli banks in the region. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps made the threat after an airstrike hit a building in Tehran linked to Bank Sepah, an institution founded in 1922 as Iran’s first modern domestic bank.Deadly school strike: The United States was responsible for the strike on an Iranian school that killed 175 people, most of them children, based on outdated targeting information, according to the preliminary findings of a Pentagon investigation. Mr. Trump had suggested that Iran could be to blame.New leader: Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, who on Monday succeeded his slain father as Iran’s supreme leader, has not appeared on video or in public nor issued any written statements since his appointment was announced. Three Iranian officials said that one reason was concern that any communication could reveal his location and that a second was that he was injured on the opening day of the U.S.-Israeli strikes, they said.
