Iran's IRGC launched 10 ballistic missiles and an unspecified number of drones against US forces at al-Dhafra Air Base in Abu Dhabi — the largest US military base in the UAE and home to the F-35 and B-52 wings. IRGC claim confirmed by Iranian news agencies and reported by Indian Express and Times of India. UAE air defenses were activated.
Al-Dhafra Air Base, Abu Dhabi, UAEHamas issued a statement calling on Iran to refrain from targeting neighbouring countries in the Gulf, while affirming Iran's right to defend itself against US and Israeli attacks. The statement is a rare public break between Hamas and Iran's military strategy — Hamas is attempting to separate the Palestinian cause from Iran's escalatory Gulf targeting, which has alienated Qatar, the UAE, and other Arab states that host Hamas political offices and provide critical humanitarian and financial support.
Gaza / DohaOil loading operations were suspended at Fujairah port in the UAE after debris from the interception of an Iranian drone caused a major fire at the facility, Reuters reported citing industry and trade sources. The Emirates media office confirmed the fire resulted from drone interception debris, with no injuries reported. Fujairah is one of the world's largest oil storage and bunkering hubs and a critical UAE oil export point. The suspension of loading operations directly impacts global oil supply flows and comes hours after Iran declared UAE ports legitimate military targets.
Fujairah Port, United Arab EmiratesIran's military central operational command (Khatam Al-Anbiya) warned on Saturday that it considers UAE ports, docks, and US military installations legitimate targets, citing the right to strike 'American enemy missiles located in ports, docks and US military hideouts' in the UAE. The IRGC separately issued the same warning via Reuters, urging UAE residents to evacuate port areas, docks, and US military shelters. The warning directly threatens the UAE's commercial shipping infrastructure, including Jebel Ali — the busiest port in the Middle East and a critical hub for global trade. It follows the Kharg Island strike and represents Iran's most direct threat to UAE civilian and commercial infrastructure since the war began.
United Arab Emirates (Jebel Ali / Abu Dhabi ports region)An industrial unit in western Tabriz and several military centers around the city were struck in Israeli airstrikes on Saturday morning, Iranian state media reported. Five people were injured. The strikes followed an IDF evacuation warning issued at 04:23 UTC and confirm that IDF operations have expanded into northwestern Iran for the first time in the 15-day conflict. Tabriz is Iran's second-largest city and hosts significant defense-industrial infrastructure including IRGC logistics nodes and electronics manufacturing facilities.
Tabriz, East Azerbaijan Province, IranLebanon's health ministry said early Saturday that Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed 14 medical workers and injured six more. The ministry noted the workers were affiliated with Hezbollah's social services arm or the Shia Amal Movement — the two main providers of emergency medical services in southern Lebanon. The strike raises significant international humanitarian law questions around targeting of medical personnel. Lebanon's total death toll has now risen to approximately 800.
Southern LebanonIran fired more ballistic missiles at Israel overnight on Saturday, setting off air-raid sirens across the country, the New York Times reported. The Israeli military also issued alerts for possible drone attacks in several communities near the Lebanese border. There were no casualties reported. The barrage continues Iran's pattern of overnight missile salvos — this is the second distinct Saturday salvo following the midnight Tehran-time salvo captured at 20:30 UTC March 13. At least 12 people have been killed in Israel since the war began.
IsraelAn overnight strike on a Kataib Hezbollah headquarters building in Baghdad killed three people, including KH commander Abu Ali al-Amiri, according to a KH official and an Iraqi security source cited by the New York Times. The strike occurred in the Karrada district and targeted what was previously described as a residential building. The killing of a named KH commander — in addition to the simultaneous overnight drone strike on the US Embassy helipad — makes the early hours of March 14 the most intense single night of US/allied action against Iranian-aligned militias in Baghdad during the conflict.
Karrada district, Baghdad, IraqPresident Trump posted on social media that Iran is 'totally defeated and wants a deal — but not one that I would accept.' The statement is the most direct public signal from Trump that Iran has initiated some form of diplomatic outreach or signaling, while simultaneously setting a high bar for any acceptable settlement. Combined with the Kharg Island strike and the rejection of Putin's uranium proposal, Trump appears to be maintaining maximum military pressure while signaling war-termination is contingent on terms Iran has not yet met.
Washington D.C.An airstrike hit a vehicle in Baghdad on Saturday, killing a member of Kataeb Hezbollah, two Iraqi security sources told AFP. The target was identified as a member of the Iran-backed group, part of the broader Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) structure. The strike occurred hours after a drone hit the US Embassy helipad in the same city. No group has claimed responsibility, but the timing and method — a precision vehicle strike — is consistent with US CENTCOM targeted killing operations that have been conducted throughout the conflict.
Baghdad, IraqFrance and Italy have opened direct diplomatic talks with Tehran to negotiate guaranteed safe passage for their ships through the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reported on Saturday citing three people familiar with the matter. The European initiative is independent of the US-Israeli military campaign and reflects growing European alarm at the economic impact of Hormuz disruption on their energy supplies. The move signals a deepening split between continental European states and the US-UK-Israel operational axis.
Paris / Rome / TehranThe Israeli military issued an evacuation warning on Saturday for a designated industrial area in Tabriz, Iran's second-largest city and the capital of East Azerbaijan Province, urging civilians to leave immediately. IDF evacuation warnings in this conflict have consistently preceded imminent airstrikes. Tabriz hosts major defense-industrial facilities including electronics manufacturing, armored vehicle production, and IRGC logistics nodes. The warning marks IDF operations expanding into northwestern Iran for the first time.
Tabriz, East Azerbaijan Province, IranA drone struck the helipad at the United States Embassy in Baghdad on Saturday morning, Iraqi officials told the Associated Press. AFP confirmed the strike on the embassy compound. The attack marks the first confirmed direct hit on a US diplomatic facility in the conflict and comes hours after the US struck Iran's Kharg Island. The drone attack is attributed to pro-Iranian militia factions in Iraq. No casualties have been confirmed in initial reports.
US Embassy, Baghdad, IraqIran's Armed Forces Unified Combatant warned that any US strike on Iran's oil and energy infrastructure will trigger immediate Iranian strikes on energy infrastructure owned by oil companies cooperating with the US across the region. The warning came within minutes of Trump announcing the Kharg Island strikes, and directly threatens Gulf state oil facilities, tanker routes, and US-linked energy assets — including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar installations.
Tehran, IranIsrael is preparing to launch its largest-scale ground offensive in Lebanon since the 2006 war, Axios reported on Saturday citing Israeli officials. The plan calls for IDF forces to seize the entire area south of the Litani River and dismantle Hezbollah's military infrastructure — an operation officials describe as intended to be 'like Gaza.' The offensive would represent a dramatic escalation from the current air campaign and could trigger a broader regional war involving Hezbollah ground forces, Syrian border dynamics, and UNIFIL peacekeeping forces.
Southern LebanonUS forces struck and 'totally obliterated' every military target on Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export hub handling 90% of the country's oil shipments. President Trump announced the operation on Truth Social early Saturday and warned that oil infrastructure on the island would be the next target if Iran or any other party continues to interfere with free and safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the first direct US strike on Kharg Island and marks the most significant escalation toward Iran's economic infrastructure since the war began.
Kharg Island, Persian Gulf, IranPresident Trump rejected a proposal by Russian President Putin to transfer Iran's enriched uranium stockpile to Russia as part of a deal to end the war, Axios reported on Saturday citing sources close to the matter. The rejection occurred during a phone call between Trump and Putin on Monday. The refusal closes what had been identified as a potential diplomatic off-ramp and signals the US is not prepared to accept any arrangement that leaves Iran's nuclear program intact under Russian custody.
Washington D.C. / MoscowIran state media reported a fresh round of missiles toward Israel just after midnight Tehran time on Saturday March 14 (approx 20:30 UTC / 22:30 Stockholm — still Day 14 by Stockholm calendar). Israeli rescue services confirmed no casualties. The salvo extends the Day 14 missile campaign into the late-night hours, maintaining pressure despite Hegseth claiming missile volume is down 90%.
Iran to IsraelIsraeli artillery shells fell inside the headquarters of the UNIFIL Nepalese battalion in Mays al-Jabal, Lebanon on March 13, per Lebanon NNA/AFP. The shelling of a UN peacekeeping base is a major escalation. UNIFIL operates under UNSC Resolution 1701. Ghanaian UNIFIL peacekeepers were also wounded by missile fire earlier in the war. Multiple incidents raise pressure on troop-contributing nations and risk a Security Council emergency session.
Mays al-Jabal, southern LebanonDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday that joint US-Israeli military strikes have hit more than 15,000 targets, NPR reported. Hegseth also claimed the strikes had injured Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei — framing a written statement Khamenei released via Iranian state TV as evidence he was 'desperate,' 'scared' and 'injured.' If confirmed, Khamenei's injury would make the sitting supreme leader of Iran a direct casualty of the US-Israeli campaign and significantly alter the conflict's political dynamics inside Iran.
