Iran says US staging attacks using Shahed drone copy Lucas to blame Tehran Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters accused the United States and Israel of carrying out drone attacks across the region and falsely attributing them to Iranian forces, according to a statement carried by IRIB. The spokesperson said that the US and Israel are using the Lucas drone, a copy of the Iranian Shahed drone, and falsely attributing those strikes to Iranian forces. “Examples of this are the vicious attacks on centres in neighbouring and friendly countries such as Turkey, Kuwait, and Iraq in recent days,” the command said. It added that Iran “only attacks the targets, centres, and interests” of the United States and Israel and “will take responsibility for any place it targets by issuing an official announcement.”

Securing the Strait of Hormuz: Why it’s harder than the U.S. suggests  CBC

Iran says US launched attack on Kharg Island from UAE  Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said the United States is launching rocket attacks on Kharg Island and Abu Musa from locations in the United Arab Emirates, including near Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, according to Iranian state media. “They launched these rockets from the soil of our neighbours. It is crystal clear they are using our neighbours’ territory to attack us,” Araghchi said, adding the attacks involved the HIMARS artillery rocket system. Press TV reported Araghchi as saying that Iranian forces tracked the attacks and warned that launching weapons from densely populated areas was extremely dangerous. He added that Iran would respond but would exercise caution to avoid hitting residential areas. Zolfaghari said the US military had been launching missiles from ports, docks and hideouts within cities in the UAE.

Trump threatens more strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island US President Donald Trump threatened further strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub and urged allies to send warships to secure the Strait of Hormuz, news agency Reuters reported.  Trump said US strikes had “totally demolished” most of the island and warned that more attacks could follow. “We may hit it a few more times just for fun,” he told NBC News, adding that Iran appeared ready to negotiate but “the terms aren't good enough yet.”  Satellite image shows an oil terminal at Kharg Island, Iran, on 25 February 2026.

US senator warns Trump has ‘lost control’ of war on Iran MEE staff on Sat, 03/14/2026 - 23:17 Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said Iran war escalation shows Trump 'badly misjudged' the region and Tehran's ability retaliate Smoke rises from the direction of an energy installation in the Gulf emirate of Fujairah on March 14, 2026. (AFP) Off A senior US senator has raised the alarm that the United States and Israel have pushed the Middle East into a rapidly escalating crisis after launching a war on Iran, saying President Donald Trump has “lost control” of the conflict. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy delivered the warning in a series of posts on X, arguing that the war has already thrown the region in a spiral of violence. Murphy wrote, "It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire." He said the first crisis centres on the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow shipping corridor through which a more than 20 percent the world’s oil and gas supply moves through. Murphy warned that Washington underestimated Tehran’s ability to disrupt the route. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He wrote, "Trump believed Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz. He was wrong. And now oil prices are spiking." The senator said Iran’s use of drones, speedboats and sea mines makes the waterway extremely difficult to secure, adding that the weapons “cannot be eliminated. They are too numerous, too spread out and hidden." Murphy said escorting tankers through the strait would place US naval forces at serious risk. 'Trump blundered' The second crisis, he said, stems from the growing role of drones in modern warfare. "Iran can hit oil sites in the region indefinitely because they posses so many cheap, weaponized drones," he wrote. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Murphy pointed to attacks in the Gulf that have disrupted shipping and energy production, warning that the war in Ukraine has already demonstrated how drones have transformed modern conflict. "If Trump paid any attention to the Ukraine War he would have noticed how warfare has changed. But he didn’t. And he blundered." It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. March 14, 2026 At the same time, air defence systems across the region are under strain. Israel has already warned Washington that its supply of ballistic missile interceptors is running low as the war enters its third week. Murphy said the conflict is also expanding geographically. "A broader, regional war is breaking out as Iranian proxies in Lebanon hit Israel and those in Iraq target the US.. Israel is now threatening a massive ground invasion of Lebanon, which could become its own new crisis." He warned that other fronts could soon ignite. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 'Trump has no endgame' "So far, the Houthis in Yemen have been relatively quiet. Probably not for long. They can project power into the Red Sea", he said. Since the onset of the Gaza genocide in October 2023, the Houthis in retaliation closed much of that route. Murphy said Syria could also descend back into violence. "For Syria, this is the worst time for Trump to strike Iran. Syria could explode again." Iran war: Israel tells US its running low on missile interceptors Read More » The final crisis, Murphy said, is the absence of any plan to end the war, noting that "Trump has no endgame. Iran and its proxies can create chaos indefinitely." He warned that a US ground invasion would bring devastating consequences saying that it "would be Armageddon" with thousands of dead Americans. Murphy said declaring victory and withdrawing would not solve the problem either. "Declare false victory? Then the new Iranian hardliners in charge just rebuild what we destroyed." He concluded by urging the administration to end the war. "All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this." "Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster," he said.

F1 cancels Bahrain and Saudi races over Israeli-US war on Iran Formula One says the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix will not take place in April because of the ongoing war in the region. The sport confirmed the decision in a statement on Sunday, saying the two races will not be replaced on the calendar next month. Organisers had already been expected to cancel the events as the conflict escalates and security concerns grow across the Middle East. Formula One’s governing body, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), said “While alternatives were considered, no substitutions will be made in April.” The Bahrain and Saudi races are regular fixtures on the Formula One calendar, but the intensifying regional war has forced organisers to suspend both events.
