Iran selects new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei - Israel launches 10th wave attacks Tehran airstrikes Middle East war escalation March 2026


The devastating US-Israel war against Iran has entered its fifth day today with no signs of ceasefire. As explosions continue to rock Tehran and other Iranian cities, Iran is now scrambling to select a new supreme leader after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the initial US-Israeli strikes last week.


Israel Launches 10th Wave of Attacks

Israel's air force says it dropped more than 1,200 munitions across 24 of Iran's 31 provinces over the past day in its joint attack with the US.  The Israeli military confirmed a broad wave of strikes targeted internal security command centers in Tehran, as well as missile launchers and other military systems across the country.


Iran Selecting New Supreme Leader

With Ayatollah Khamenei dead, Iran's Assembly of Experts has begun the urgent process of selecting a new supreme leader. Senior Iranian officials have been meeting virtually to select a replacement. Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, is among the top contenders being considered as successor. However, Israel has warned that any new supreme leader will be an immediate target for elimination.


Death Toll Crosses 1,045

Multiple locations across Iran are being bombarded, and Tehran is carrying out retaliatory attacks across the region. Explosions were heard in different parts of the Iranian capital, and Iranian state television showed the rubble of a building in central Tehran. The holy city of Qom and several other cities were also targeted.


Iran Hits Back — US Bases Under Attack

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has launched massive retaliatory attacks across the entire region. Iranian missiles have targeted the headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain's Juffair area multiple times. Bahrain's Ministry of Interior confirmed that the country's international airport was targeted with a drone. 


US Soldiers Killed

Four US soldiers were killed in the Iran war on Sunday and were identified by the Pentagon. Their unit kept troops supplied with food and equipment. President Trump acknowledged the losses and warned that more casualties are likely before the conflict ends.

US Embassies Closed Across Middle East

The US has closed embassies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Lebanon, after several were hit with Iranian strikes. A CIA station in Saudi Arabia, and a US military base in Qatar — the largest in the Middle East — were also hit.

Global Stock Markets Crash


The ongoing war has triggered panic in global financial markets. South Korea's stock market triggered a circuit breaker after massive losses. Japan's Nikkei fell sharply while Taiwan stocks dropped significantly. Oil and natural gas prices continue to surge worldwide as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

India on High Alert


The Indian government is closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation in the Middle East. India imports over 85% of its oil needs through the Persian Gulf region. The government has asked all Indian nationals in Gulf countries to register with the nearest Indian Embassy and follow safety guidelines strictly. Higher oil and gas prices are expected to impact petrol and diesel prices in India in the coming days.


What Happens Next?

President Trump has said the war could last four to five weeks. Secretary of State Rubio warned that the hardest strikes on Iran are yet to come. The United Nations Security Council continues emergency sessions but no agreement has been reached. The world watches anxiously as this conflict reshapes the entire Middle East.

Sh. Bidyut Bala | PrimeWorld Times March 6, 2026 As the first light of Friday morning broke over the smoke-filled skies of Tehran, the seventh day of the US-Israel war against Iran brought with it fresh horrors, a shocking new revelation about Russia's secret role in the conflict, and a desperate exodus of terrified civilians fleeing their homes across the Middle East. The world watched in stunned silence as one of the most rapidly escalating conflicts in modern history showed absolutely no signs of slowing down. 1,320 Dead — Death Toll Rises Every Hour The human cost of this war has become almost impossible to comprehend.

NASA's Artemis Moon Mission in Crisis — Rocket Rolled Back, Launch Delayed, Future of Moon Program in Doubt

Image
Sh. Bidyut Bala | PrimeWorld Times March 7, 2026 While the world's attention has been fixed on the devastating war in the Middle East, a separate crisis has been quietly unfolding 226 miles above the Earth — and 239,000 miles away on the surface of the Moon. America's most ambitious space program in decades, NASA's Artemis mission, is in serious trouble. Rockets are being rolled back. Launches are being delayed. And the very future of humanity's return to the Moon is now hanging in the balance. Artemis Rocket Rolled Back — A Four-Mile Journey of Shame In a dramatic and deeply embarrassing development for NASA, the agency was forced to roll back its massive Artemis II moon rocket from its launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 322-foot rocket — one of the most powerful ever built — had to make the slow, painstaking four-mile journey back to its hangar for urgent repairs. The rollback operation alone took up to 12 full hours to complete, a logistical night...
