The conflict between the Iranian regime, the United States, and Israel entered its 27th day on March 26, 2026. Following the regime’s rejection of a 15-point US peace plan and its deployment of heavily militarized checkpoints across Iran to suppress potential domestic uprisings the previous day, the war has seen continued military escalation and diplomatic tension.

Heavy airstrikes targeted multiple Iranian cities overnight, while the regime launched a new wave of missiles toward Israel and the United Arab Emirates. As the regime continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Tehran to engage in serious negotiations, amidst reports of further US troop deployments to the region. Meanwhile, Gulf nations condemned the regime’s regional attacks, and G7 foreign ministers gathered in France to navigate the geopolitical and economic fallout of the conflict.
