World - / Mar 8, 2026 - US-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: 'They got caught on wrong side of events': Jaishankar on Iran ship struck by US in Indian Ocean - US-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: The US-Israel war on Iran is rapidly widening, with missile exchanges, naval strikes and regional spillover pushing the Middle East into one of its most volatile crises in decades. Iran has launched fresh missiles at Israel, while Israel has expanded strikes to Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. A US submarine has sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, marking a dramatic escalation at sea.Casualties continue to mount, with more than 1,000 reported dead in Iran and dozens killed in Lebanon and Israel. Tehran is under sustained bombardment, and the search for a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei adds further uncertainty to Iran's political future. The United Nations says tens of thousands have fled the capital.In Washington, Senate Republicans blocked an effort to limit President Trump's war powers, signalling strong political backing for continued operations. The White House maintains that US ground troops are not part of the current plan but has not ruled out future options.The conflict is also disrupting global trade and energy supplies. Missile attacks in and around the Strait of Hormuz have sharply reduced tanker traffic, sending oil prices higher and unsettling financial markets. Shipping giants are suspending routes as security risks grow.Stay with this live blog for real-time updates, key statements, battlefield developments, diplomatic moves and economic fallout as the crisis unfolds.8 hours ago
World - / Mar 8, 2026 - Khamenei gone but regime change in Iran 'unlikely', US intelligence warns — report - A joint US-Israeli attack killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, fulfilling President Trump's "regime change" calls. However, a classified intelligence report suggests this is unlikely to topple the entrenched clerical and military establishment, even with a large-scale assault. Analysts concluded Iran's system would likely continue functioning due to established continuity procedures.15 minutes ago
