The war between the US, Israel, and Iran has entered its eleventh day, and US President Donald Trump has significantly sharpened his rhetoric. On Monday, he threatened Iran with strikes "twenty times harder" if it blocks the passage of tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, while also suggesting that he is considering "taking control" of the strategic waterway.

Paradoxically, just hours earlier Trump had declared that the war could end "very soon" and that the campaign is progressing "far ahead of schedule." American and Israeli forces have struck more than 5,000 targets since the start of the conflict, sunk 46 Iranian warships, and according to Trump, "completely destroyed" Iran's navy, drone, and missile capabilities. However, the Pentagon also admitted that some targets — including electrical infrastructure — have been deliberately left "for later." CBS News ↗
Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who took power after his father was killed in the attacks of February 28, has become a symbol of resistance despite being wounded. Iranian state television referred to him as a "janbaz" — someone wounded by the enemy. Thousands of people took to the streets of Tehran in support of him. Tehran categorically rejects the notion that the United States would decide on ending the war. NPR ↗
The eighth American soldier — Sergeant Benjamin N. Pennington (26) from Kentucky, a member of the 1st Space Brigade — died from injuries sustained in an Iranian attack on a US base in Saudi Arabia on March 1. Vice President Vance attended the dignified transfer of the remains at Dover Air Force Base. NBC News ↗
Iran continues to attack surrounding states. Qatar was hit on Monday by 17 ballistic missiles and 6 drones — all were intercepted with no casualties. Bahrain's Bapco Energies oil company declared force majeure after an attack on a refinery. A fire at an oil facility was recorded in the UAE following overnight attacks. NATO intercepted a missile heading toward Turkey in the Gaziantep area. PBS News ↗
In Lebanon, the death toll from Israeli attacks rose to 486, including 83 children, with nearly 700,000 people displaced. Hezbollah and Israel continue to exchange fire. Two Israeli soldiers were killed during ground operations in southern Lebanon. Al Jazeera ↗
Oil markets reacted with a sharp rise. Brent crude briefly exceeded $119 per barrel, WTI reached $116, though prices eased slightly during the day to $112–113. The average US gasoline price rose by 50 cents over the week — from $2.98 to $3.45 per gallon — and analysts expect it to exceed the $4 mark this week. Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has virtually come to a halt. Foreign Policy ↗
Ukraine has offered to send anti-drone experts to the US and regional allies. The Pentagon is discussing the possible deployment of special forces to secure Iran's stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, although this step would come "at a later stage" of the conflict. More than 36,000 American citizens have been evacuated from the Middle East so far. PBS News ↗
The toll of the war after 11 days: according to the Ministry of Health, at least 1,255 people have died in Iran, including 200 children, more than 12,000 have been injured, and over 200 cities have been affected. The total number of casualties across all 12 affected countries has exceeded 2,000 dead and 15,000 injured.
