On March 11, 2026, the US-Israeli war on Iran entered its 12th day. Iran reports over 1,300 civilian deaths and nearly 10,000 civilian sites bombed since the conflict began on February 28. Recent overnight attacks targeted Tehran's Mehrabad airport, while Iran retaliated against Israeli locations like Tel Aviv and Haifa, as well as US bases in Erbil, Iraq, and Manama, Bahrain, using "Khoramshahr" missiles. Iran's UN ambassador accuses the US and Israel of deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure. Political pressure is increasing in Washington, with lawmakers demanding hearings on the war's objectives amid rising US casualties and investigations into civilian strikes. The conflict has also caused a spike in global energy prices.
