US media: The war between the US and Iran enters its eighth day (March 7), with the situation continuing to escalate. Trump posted on social media, saying "Today, we will launch a fierce strike on Iran," and warned that areas and people not previously targeted would be included in the "complete destruction" scope. A senior Iranian official responded immediately, stating that they are looking for new US military targets.
Iranian President Pezeshkian delivered a pre-recorded speech on national television, apologizing for Iran's attack on Gulf neighbors and promising that Iran would stop attacking neighboring countries if the attacks were not launched from their territories. However, his statement was quickly questioned - after the speech was broadcast, the Iranian military continued to fire missiles and drones toward the Gulf region. Bahrain has intercepted 86 missiles and 148 drones; Saudi Arabia intercepted 16 drones heading toward the Shayba oil field (which produces 1 million barrels per day); Qatar successfully intercepted one ballistic missile; Dubai International Airport was attacked by a drone, causing flights to be suspended temporarily before resuming.
Meanwhile, Israel launched a new large-scale air strike on Tehran and Isfahan (where nuclear facilities are located), with Tehran's Mehraabad Airport suspected to have been affected. Israel also conducted a raid in Lebanon to search for the remains of the pilot Ron Arad who went missing in 1986, resulting in 41 deaths and 40 injuries, but the target could not be found.
In Iran, several religious leaders have called for the quick selection of a new Supreme Leader to fill the power vacuum left by the death of Khamenei. Six U.S. military personnel killed in Kuwait arrived today at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, and Trump and Vice President Vance will attend the arrival ceremony.
