(Updated) The US is ready to take drastic measures.
The U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran continues in the Middle East.
The Charter97.org website is following developments through the ninth day of the war.
23:39 The Pentagon has released a map of 10 days of strikes on Iran. In the first ten days of the military operation "Epic Fury", the US predominantly struck the central, southern and western parts of Iranian territory. A map of the strikes and a chronology of the operation was published by the US Department of War on its social media page X.
23:23 If Iran has mined the Strait of Hormuz, the US demands that the mines be removed immediately; unprecedented military consequences will follow if they refuse, US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social.
"If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, that would be a huge step in the right direction," he added, noting that the states have no intelligence to confirm the mines.
22:41 In a White House briefing, Donald Trump spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt when asked how long the war with Iran would last, said the original plan called for four to six weeks to destroy Iran's missiles and navy, eliminate nuclear capabilities and destroy Tehran's proxy forces.
The operation is ahead of schedule, she said, echoing comments Trump made on Monday. But Levitt said the war will not end until Iran "fully and unconditionally capitulates, whether they declare it or not."
Trump will determine when Iran is no longer a direct threat, the U.S. presidential spokeswoman added.
22:04 The U.S. has spotted signs of Iran mining the Strait of Hormuz.
22:02 The head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, has warned U.S. President Donald Trump that he should be careful not to "disappear." One of the most influential functionaries of the ayatollah regime wrote this in his X account, reacting to Trump's words of a "crushing blow" if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz.
21:23 The Israeli military said Iran has again launched rockets toward Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces said it is working to intercept the rockets and is also alerting the public via cell phones in areas that could be affected.
"After receiving the alert, citizens should take shelter in a protected place and remain there until further notice," it said.
21:07 The United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry said it detected the launch of nine ballistic missiles, eight of which were destroyed and one fell into the sea. Also, 35 drones were fired toward the UAE, 26 of which were intercepted and nine fell in the country's territory, the defense ministry said.
A total of 262 ballistic missiles (241 of which were destroyed) and 1,475 drones (1,385 of which were intercepted) have been fired toward the UAE since the start of the war with Iran and Tehran's retaliatory attacks, according to the Defense Ministry.
The attacks killed six people: nationals of the UAE, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
20:29 The U.S. Navy has successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said. The goal is to "ensure oil gets to world markets," he added.
"The big oil tanker passed through about 36 hours ago. I think you'll see more of these in the future," Mr. Wright said in a video posted on social networking site X. He said it was US President Donald Trump's way of "maintaining the stability of the global energy industry during military operations against Iran."
19:29 Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conversation with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian, the Kremlin press service said. The politicians discussed the situation in the Middle East in connection with the US-Israeli operation.
17.50 Israeli aviation carried out a new wave of attacks on Hizbullah's Dahiya neighborhood in Beirut
In addition, an IDF drone carried out a pinpoint elimination of one of the terrorists in a car attack in the village of Beit Yahun in southern Lebanon (pictured).
17.40 U.S. Central Command has released a map of strikes on Iran in the first 10 days of Operation Epic Fury.
The map also shows cities and military bases that have been hit by missile and drone attacks from Iran.
17.25 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a briefing that today would be the "most intense" U.S. attack on Iran, while claiming Iran was launching fewer missiles.
The Pentagon chief said the goals of Operation Epic Fury remain the same - to destroy Iran's missile stockpile, launchers and defense industrial base; to destroy Iran's navy; and to permanently deprive Iran of nuclear weapons.
15.55 The U.S. is finishing off the remnants of Iran's navy. The video shows the port of Chabahar in the southeast of the country, which was hit this morning. Several ships were hit.
15.45 U.S. and Israeli aircraft struck oil depots at Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani Airport in Kerman, in central Iran.
13:28 The head of Iran's elite special forces worked for the Mossad?
Some Israeli media outlets have been circulating reports for days about the alleged execution or ritual (on camera) suicide of Iranian IRGC Brigadier General Ismail Qaani, commander of the Quds (Jerusalem) Brigade, which is designed for operations outside Iran.
Reports are emerging that he was the one who passed on information about the whereabouts of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
12:55 Iran attacked with ballistic missiles the German part of Jordan's Al-Azraq Air Base, where the US Air Force is also stationed. A barracks building belonging to the German contingent was hit. Because German soldiers were in shelters at the time of the attack, no one was injured.
12:29 Oil prices fell below $100 after Trump's words.
Oil prices Tuesday morning fell below $100 a barrel after rising sharply the previous day amid concerns that the escalating U.S.-Israeli war with Iran could permanently disrupt supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. president said Monday that Iran's war is nearing an end and also pledged to ensure tanker escorts through the Strait of Hormuz and threatened Iran with more strikes if Tehran prevents it.
In addition, the Trump administration is considering further easing sanctions on Russian oil to help stem rising global energy prices.
11:06 Iran could cut off water supplies to Gulf countries.
Iranian drones have already attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain vital for water purification. Similar attacks elsewhere could force major cities to evacuate residents.
09:05 New footage of U.S. strikes on military targets in Iran has emerged.
"The Iranian regime may be trying to hide its missile launchers, but U.S. forces will not stop looking for them. When we find them, we will destroy them," US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.
08:59 The US has hit more than 50 Iranian naval ships since the start of the military operation. This was reported by the U.S. military command in the Middle East (CENTCOM).
It is also noted that during the first 10 days of the operation, the U.S. armed forces struck 5,000 Iranian targets.
In addition to a large number of tactical aircraft, drones and air defense assets, the operation involved strategic bombers, including B-2A, B-52H and B-1B, which carried out powerful strikes on Iran's most protected ballistic missile storage and production facilities.
08:51 Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said that any European or Arab country will get free passage through the Strait of Hormuz if it expels the US and Israeli ambassadors. According to a report by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, which quoted the IRGC, the unimpeded passage will begin today, starting Tuesday, March 10. "These countries will have 'full freedom rights' to transit the strategically important waterway if they sever diplomatic relations with both Israel and the United States," The Guardian wrote, quoting the IRGC.
08:28 US President Donald Trump has said he will hit Iran 20 times harder if Tehran tries to stop oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. "If Iran takes any action that stops the flow of oil in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will hit it twenty times harder than before," Trump wrote in Truth Social.
He added that on top of that, the U.S. would destroy easily accessible targets that would make Iran's recovery nearly impossible: "Death, fire and fury will rain down on it (Iran - ed.)"
