As of March 2026, a major war is happening involving direct attacks by the U.S. which are coordinated with Israel against Iran. These attacks are following the strikes which killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier this week.
This conflict has now expanded into a regional war which contains intense Israeli bombing within the country of Lebanon against Hezbollah. Along with the attacks in Lebanon, drone strikes have been reaching Azerbaijan and Iranian armies have been retaliating by sending attacks which affect Kuwait and Gulf allies.
Israel and the United States are conducting a major war against Iran, and they are aiming for potential regime change after launching several strikes which killed Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“Earlier this week, a U.S. submarine sunk an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka, thousands of miles from the Persian Gulf which dramatically expands Washington’s pursuit of the Iranian Navy,” says a news reporter for ABC 10 News.
The vessel was returning to Iran from eastern India, Sri Lanka’s deputy foreign minister says that at least 80 people lost their lives due to the attack.
As of March 4, 2026, the U.S. has officially sunk 20 Iranian Navy warships. Also the U.S. has said that its war with Iran has only just begun, and that it is not estimated to end anytime soon.
The war was once again expanded after Iran fired a drone into NATO territory which sparked the U.S. submarine attack. The submarine attack was the first sinking of a warship since World War II.
The U.S. has struck more than 2,000 targets and the Iranian health ministry says that more than 920 people have been killed overall.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran is being demolished, “Ahead of schedule and at levels people have never seen before,” he has claimed that the country now has, “no air force, no air defence” and their air force is completely gone.
Massive explosions have hit several locations in the Iranian capital, Tehran, overnight. It has hit residential areas including the University of Tehran campus.
Israeli jets have bombed southern and eastern Lebanese towns, which include Douris in the Bekaa Valley, as well as targeting the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut.
Many Lebanese citizens have evacuated their homes, and are in search of safe places away from all the bombing.
Australia is also being affected by the ongoing war, as three Australian nationals were on board a nuclear powered U.S. submarine that sank an Iranian Navy ship in the Indian Ocean.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the United Arab Emirates is also currently considering freezing billions of dollars of Iranian assets which are being held in the Gulf state.
According to several sources, Iran is prepared to deploy new forms of weapons that are brand new and have not yet been used on the large scale before.
The war is still ongoing and new updates come in every couple of hours. The war is not predicted to end anytime soon, and people are speculating that it may turn into the next World War due to the fact that more countries keep getting involved every day.
