US-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Trump says considering 'winding down' Iran war; US eases oil sanctions on Iran
Israel Iran War Live: US President Donald Trump said on Friday he was considering “winding down” military operations against Iran, signalling a possible shift in the conflict that began on 28 February. Writing on Truth Social, he said the United States was “very close” to achieving its objectives, while the White House suggested the campaign remained on track to conclude within weeks.
At the same time, Washington moved to ease pressure on global energy markets by temporarily lifting sanctions on Iranian oil already loaded onto tankers, allowing sales until 19 April. Officials estimate the measure could release around 140 million barrels of crude, helping to stabilise prices amid supply disruptions linked to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
Despite these signals, fighting has continued. Iran launched fresh drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia and Israel, while also reportedly firing two long-range ballistic missiles towards the US–UK base at Diego Garcia, underscoring its expanding capabilities. Neither missile struck its target.
The conflict has intensified following Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, prompting Tehran to escalate attacks on regional energy infrastructure and shipping routes. Oil flows remain constrained, driving up global fuel and food prices.

Iran war news: Israel military says striking 'regime targets' in Tehran
The Israeli military said it carried out strikes on what it described as “regime targets” in Tehran early on Saturday, following reports of multiple waves of Iranian missile fire directed at Israel. The Iranian capital has faced near-daily bombardment since the war began on 28 February, after a joint US-Israeli attack that reportedly killed senior officials, including the country’s supreme leader.
Iran has responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US assets in the Gulf, and other regional targets. Israel also reported intercepting missiles and striking sites linked to ballistic weapons, vowing to further weaken Iran’s military capabilities.

Iran war news: Trump's Iran war rattles US swing voters ahead of midterms
Donald Trump’s conflict with Iran is weighing heavily on independent voters, a key group that could determine whether Republicans retain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections. In Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, reactions range from concern to outright opposition.
Some voters fear the US is being drawn into another prolonged conflict. Retiree Jolene Lloyd criticised the war, comparing it to Iraq and Vietnam, and said rising living costs, particularly fuel prices, had strengthened her decision to back Democrats. Polling reflects this sentiment, with a clear majority of independents opposing military action and many saying the administration has failed to explain its strategy.
Others remain supportive, albeit cautiously. Welder Vince Lucisano, who voted for Trump, said he backed action against Iran but would worry if US ground troops were deployed.

Iran recently launched two ballistic missiles towards the joint US–UK military base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing US officials. Neither missile struck the target, located about 2,500 miles (4,000 km) from Iran, but the incident suggests Tehran may possess longer-range capabilities than previously believed.
Reports indicate one missile failed mid-flight, while the other was intercepted by a US warship, though it remains unclear whether it was successfully destroyed. The Pentagon has not commented.
Diego Garcia, part of the Chagos Islands, is a key strategic base used by US forces for operations in Asia and the Middle East. Britain retains control of the base while planning to return the islands to Mauritius, a decision criticised by President Donald Trump.

Iran news: Trump says considering 'winding down' Iran war, US eases oil sanctions
US President Donald Trump said on Friday he was considering “winding down” military operations against Iran, suggesting the conflict that began on 28 February could soon de-escalate. In a post on Truth Social, he said the United States was close to achieving its objectives, while the White House indicated the campaign was progressing ahead of schedule.
At the same time, Washington temporarily eased sanctions on Iranian oil already loaded onto tankers, allowing limited sales until 19 April in an effort to ease pressure on global energy supplies. The move could release up to 140 million barrels of oil, as prices rise following disruptions linked to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on regional energy infrastructure.
Despite this, hostilities continued to intensify. Iran launched fresh drone and missile strikes on Saudi Arabia and Israel, while Israeli forces carried out attacks in Tehran and Beirut. Energy facilities in Kuwait and Qatar were also hit.

Iran news: Israel says striking Hezbollah in Beirut
The Israeli military said it carried out a fresh wave of air strikes on Beirut early on Saturday, targeting positions linked to the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, after urging residents in several districts to evacuate.
The conflict intensified after Hezbollah began launching rockets into Israel on 2 March, saying it was in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israel has since expanded its campaign, striking sites across Lebanon and deploying ground forces in the south.
Lebanese state media reported further Israeli strikes overnight on Tyre and Naqoura, while an attack on a house in Ghandouriyeh killed at least one person. Hezbollah said it had targeted Israeli troops in southern villages and fired rockets across the border.
US ambassador Michel Issa backed calls for a truce but suggested Israel was not yet prepared to halt its operations.

Iran news: Iran warns of targeting tourist destinations as US-Israel war enters third week
Iran has warned it may widen its retaliatory actions to include recreational and tourist sites across the globe, according to Al Jazeera. The country’s senior military spokesman, General Abolfazl Shekarchi, stated that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” would no longer be safe for its adversaries. The remarks have heightened concerns that Tehran could revert to asymmetric operations beyond the Middle East as a means of exerting pressure.
Tensions have escalated following Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars offshore gas field earlier in the week. In response, Iran has intensified attacks on energy infrastructure in Gulf Arab states. Notably, two waves of Iranian drones targeted Kuwait’s Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery on Friday, sparking a fire at one of the region’s largest facilities, capable of processing around 730,000 barrels per day.
Iran has also cautioned the United Arab Emirates, warning it could strike Ras al-Khaimah if Iranian-held Gulf islands are attacked again from UAE territory. Meanwhile, officials in Tehran say there is no surplus crude oil available for export, dismissing recent US suggestions of easing restrictions as misleading.

US-Iran News: US halts sanctions on Iranian oil stranded in tankers at sea until April 19 amid soaring prices
The US Treasury on Friday temporarily lifted sanctions on Iranian oil already loaded onto vessels before March 20, in a bid to ease the supply crunch caused by the ongoing Middle East conflict.
The authorization permits the delivery and sale of crude oil and other petroleum products already aboard Iranian ships and will remain in effect until April 19, the Treasury said in a statement.
The move by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday was under review, follows a similar temporary easing of sanctions on Russian oil at sea. Friday’s authorization does not apply to oil shipments destined for Cuba, North Korea, or Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine.

No sign Trump is winding down military operation, says Iran: Report
Tehran has rejected Donald Trump’s claim that the United States is considering winding down its military operations, with a senior Iranian official saying there is no evidence of reduced activity in the region.
“Contrary to Trump’s claims of a reduction in military activity in the region, Iran has no such estimate and concludes that the enemy’s military posture in the region hasn’t changed significantly,” the official told CNN.
The remarks come after Trump suggested in a social media post that US operations could be scaled back, even as officials indicated that thousands of additional troops were being deployed to the Middle East.
The Iranian official dismissed the statement as “Trump’s psychological operations to control the markets,” amid continued disruption following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil prices climbed to $112 per barrel on Friday as the key waterway—through which around 20% of global oil supply passes—remains largely shut. Goldman Sachs has warned elevated prices could persist through 2027.
“Tehran has concluded that it should not teach Trump a lesson or a temporary response; it should teach him a historical lesson,” the official said.

Israel Iran war: Israel police probe blast sites after Iran missile warning
Israeli police said on Friday they were investigating multiple blast impact sites around Tel Aviv after warnings that Iran had fired missiles and air raid sirens sounded across the city.
Sirens and explosions were also reported in Jerusalem, including an earlier blast just a few hundred metres from key religious landmarks such as the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, according to AFP correspondents.
AFP could not independently verify whether the explosions were caused by direct missile strikes or debris from intercepted projectiles.
Police said they were “handling several impact sites of munitions” in the Tel Aviv district, with military search and rescue teams also deployed.
“a short while ago, Israel Police received reports of munitions falling within the Tel Aviv District,” police said, adding that officers and bomb disposal units were working to secure the sites and that no casualties had been reported so far.

'US could take out Iran's Kharg Island at any time if President gives order,' says White House
The United States could “take out” Iran’s Kharg Island at any time, the White House said on Friday, following reports that President Donald Trump is considering plans to occupy or blockade the key oil hub.
According to Axios, Trump is weighing an operation targeting Kharg Island to pressure Tehran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route that has been largely disrupted.
The US is also deploying additional Marines to the Middle East, according to media reports, in a move that could signal preparations for a potential ground operation as the US-Israeli campaign enters its third week.
“The United States Military can take out Kharg Island at any time if the President gives the order,” White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement.
“Thanks to a detailed planning process, the entire administration is and was prepared for any potential action taken by the terrorist Iranian regime,” she added.
“President Trump knew full well that Iran would try to stop the freedom of navigation and free flow of energy, and he has already taken action to destroy over 40 minelaying vessels.”

US Iran news: Former US National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent says pro-war ‘echo chamber’ pushed Trump toward Iran strike
Former US National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent on Friday accused pro-war voices in the US and Israel of persuading President Donald Trump to launch strikes on Iran, despite what he described as a lack of concrete evidence of an imminent threat.
Speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show, Kent alleged that Israeli leadership and US allies, including Lindsey Graham, created an “echo chamber” around Trump, pushing for months for military action while sidelining dissenting views.
“I saw the bubble being created around President Trump,” Kent said, referring to his decision to resign earlier this week over concerns about the war. “The president was isolated, and so he was just hearing that echo chamber.”
Kent said the run-up to the Iran strike differed significantly from the deliberations preceding last year’s US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites, which he described as involving extensive internal debate.
Instead, he claimed that Benjamin Netanyahu and his advisers, along with pro-war allies of Trump, pushed for swift action before the administration had fully assessed the potential consequences.
“Whatever argument they used, the effect was that President Trump was then led to believe that if he took action now, this whole thing would be quick and easy,” Kent said.
Kent’s remarks marked his second interview since stepping down, following a conversation with Tucker Carlson.
The White House rejected his claims, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating earlier this week that his resignation letter contained “falsehoods” and that he was not involved in key discussions leading up to the conflict.

“Whatever argument they used, the effect was that President Trump was then led to believe that if he took action now, this whole thing would be quick and easy,” Kent said.
Kent’s remarks marked his second interview since stepping down, following a conversation with Tucker Carlson.
The White House rejected his claims, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating earlier this week that his resignation letter contained “falsehoods” and that he was not involved in key discussions leading up to the conflict.

US Iran news: Iran hits Kuwaiti oil refinery again as explosions boom over Tehran
An oil refinery in Kuwait was hit by an Iranian drone strike, while sirens sounded across Israel warning of incoming fire. At the same time, explosions were reported over Tehran as Israeli strikes continued, even as the country marked the Persian New Year.
As the conflict entered its third week, Iran showed no signs of scaling back attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure. Kuwaiti authorities said two waves of drone strikes targeted the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, triggering a fire that emergency crews were working to contain. The facility, which has a capacity of about 730,000 barrels per day, had already suffered damage in a previous strike a day earlier and is one of three key refineries in the oil-rich Gulf nation.
The escalation follows Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field on Wednesday, after which Tehran intensified attacks on energy targets across Gulf Arab states. Meanwhile, loud blasts were also reported in Jerusalem after the Israeli military warned of incoming Iranian missiles.

“Our difficulties are the result of the interference of enemies,” he said.
“Our dear neighbours who surround us, you are our brothers… We have come to resolve all these differences with you,” he said.
He said Iran proposed that “to establish peace and stability in the region, a regional security structure be formed from Islamic countries”. “We do not need the presence of outsiders in the region.”
He stressed Iran was not seeking nuclear weapons, saying the Supreme Leader had declared they were religiously forbidden, and no officials were permitted to pursue plans to obtain them.

'Parks, tourist destinations' worldwide won't be safe for enemies': Iran issues big warning
Iran’s top military spokesperson, Abolfazl Shekarchi, warned that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” around the world would no longer be safe for Tehran’s adversaries.
The remarks come as Iran faces continued airstrikes from the United States and Israel, raising fresh concerns that, as the conflict drags on, Tehran could resort to carrying out or supporting militant attacks beyond the Middle East as a means of pressure.
“From now on, based on the information we have about you, even parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations anywhere in the world will no longer be safe for you,” Shekarchi said in a statement published online by Iranian state television.

The ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States continues, with direct attacks on energy infrastructure and widening regional involvement pushing the war towards a broader geopolitical and economic crisis. What began as a coordinated US-Israel offensive targeting Iranian military and nuclear capabilities has now expanded into a multi-front conflict involving missile exchanges, proxy warfare, and economic disruption.
Iran sharply escalated the situation by launching attacks on oil and gas facilities across the Gulf on Thursday, in retaliation for an Israeli strike on a key Iranian gas field. These strikes have significantly raised the stakes, as energy infrastructure forms the backbone of the global economy. In response, US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning, saying Washington could “massively blow up” Iran’s gas infrastructure if attacks continue. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran’s ability to enrich uranium and develop ballistic missiles has been effectively neutralised, though Tehran continues to demonstrate its offensive capabilities through sustained missile and drone strikes.
Israeli strikes continued in Tehran, coinciding with Iran’s Nowruz celebrations, while Iran fired multiple missile barrages at Israeli cities, triggering widespread air raid sirens. The battlefield has also expanded geographically. The conflict has spilled into Lebanon, where fighting with the Iran-backed group Hezbollah has intensified. Israeli strikes there have killed over 1,000 people and displaced more than a million, underlining the humanitarian cost of the war.
One of the most critical flashpoints is the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil transit route. The near halt in tanker traffic due to security threats has severely disrupted global supply chains. Oil prices have surged dramatically, with Brent crude rising above $110 per barrel and even briefly touching higher levels, fuelling fears of inflation worldwide. The impact is already being felt by consumers through rising fuel and transport costs, which are expected to push up prices of essential goods globally.
International concern is mounting. The United Nations Security Council has held urgent discussions, while European leaders have called for a halt to attacks on energy infrastructure and the reopening of key shipping routes.
At the same time, divisions are emerging between the US and Israel over strategy, particularly regarding attacks on Iranian energy sites. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday asserted Israel’s independent military decision-making even as he emphasised close coordination with the United States amid the ongoing conflict with Iran. His statement came a day after Trump said he knew nothing about Israel's strike on Iran's Assaluyeh gas compound.
