"Today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran: the most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes, intelligence more refined and better than ever. The objective is to destroy Iranian missiles and its military production capabilities, as well as to destroy Iran's navy."
"Daily US and Israeli air strikes against Iran began on February 28, with Tehran responding by spraying drones and ballistic missiles around the Gulf region, sparking concerns about a broader war breaking out and driving the global price of oil through the key $100 a barrel level."
"Trump appeared to go on a media offensive on March 9 after the markets reacted sharply to the conflict, leading him to say in a news conference late in the day that the war will end very soon without giving a specific timeframe."
On March 10, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the most intense day of air strikes against Iran since military operations began in late February in cooperation with Israel. The strikes deployed the most fighters, bombers, and refined intelligence to date, targeting Iranian missiles, military production capabilities, and naval forces. Explosions were reported across multiple Iranian cities including Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and others. The escalating conflict began February 28 and prompted Iran to respond with drones and ballistic missiles, raising global oil prices above $100 per barrel. President Trump indicated the conflict would end soon, and G7 energy ministers met to address market stability and potential strategic oil reserve releases.
