As of today (March 6, 2026), the US-Iran conflict has entered its seventh day of intense military escalation, involving heavy US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, combined with Iranian retaliatory attacks across the region.
Key developments include:
Intense strikes on Tehran — Overnight and early today, Israeli and US forces conducted heavy bombardment on Iran's capital, hitting residential areas, a shopping street, military sites (including a military academy), and other locations. Thick smoke plumes were reported over the city, described by residents as one of the "worst nights" so far.
Iranian retaliation — Iran launched missiles and drones targeting US bases and facilities in the Gulf (e.g., Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, Al Udeid in Qatar, and others in Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia). Some attacks were intercepted by regional defenses, but strikes caused damage and casualties. Iran also hit targets in Israel and expanded to Azerbaijan.
US military actions — The US struck an Iranian drone carrier ship (setting it on fire), sank Iranian vessels (including one off Sri Lanka with submarine attacks), and used B-2 bombers to target buried ballistic missile sites, reportedly reducing Iran's missile attack capability by ~90%. US officials warn of a dramatic surge in strikes ahead.
Broader impact — The conflict has widened regionally, affecting Gulf energy exports, with threats to oil markets. A three-man council in Iran is preparing to name a new supreme leader after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death in earlier strikes. President Trump stated the US aims to "clean out" the regime, wants a role in selecting Iran's next leader (calling Khamenei's son unacceptable), but dismissed a full ground invasion as a "waste of time." Iran has signaled indirect interest in talks to end the war, but no active negotiations are underway, and officials say it's "too late."
Casualties and other notes — Iran's death toll from attacks exceeds 1,300. US service members have been killed in counterattacks. Russia is reportedly providing Iran with intelligence on US positions.

The situation remains highly fluid and volatile, with risks of further regional spillover. Sources include reports from Al Jazeera, CNN, Reuters, BBC, NBC, and others.

Konflikt między Izraelem a Iranem znacznie się zaostrzył, wchodząc teraz w siódmy dzień od wybuchu 13 czerwca 2025 roku. Izrael przeprowadził ataki lotnicze na irańskie obiekty nuklearne i wojskowe, w tym Natanz i Isfahan, mając na celu zapobieżenie rozwojowi broni nuklearnej przez Iran. Niestety, te ataki doprowadziły do śmierci kilku wysokich rangą irańskich dowódców wojskowych i naukowców.
W odpowiedzi Iran wystrzelił setki dronów i rakiet w kierunku Izraela. Niektóre z tych pocisków zdołały przejść przez izraelską obronę powietrzną, powodując ofiary w Izraelu. Doniesienia wskazują na ponad 200 ofiar śmiertelnych i ponad 1200 rannych w Iranie, głównie cywilów, podczas gdy Izrael zgłosił 24 ofiary śmiertelne i ponad 500 rannych.
