As the war between the Iranian regime, Israel, and the United States enters its 15th day on March 14, 2026, the conflict has seen one of its most significant escalations. Following a day where the regime tripled its suppressive street patrols in fear of explosive domestic uprisings, the US military launched major overnight operations targeting the regime’s military infrastructure in Tehran and its critical oil export hub on Kharg Island.

The newly appointed supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen in public and is reportedly wounded and disfigured from earlier strikes, now has a massive US bounty on his head. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime continues escalating regional attacks, launching strikes on the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and threatening European nations as the global impact of the crisis widens.
