US Israel Iran War Day 5 1045 dead Dubai Airport shutdown world oil crisis deepens - Middle East conflict casualties Strait Hormuz energy crisis March 2026


The devastating US-Israel war against Iran has entered its fifth consecutive day today with no signs of ceasefire as the death toll continues to rise and the conflict engulfs more nations across the Middle East. The war is now causing a massive global energy crisis affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide.


Death Toll Crosses 1,045

The death toll from the US-Israeli attacks has now stood at 1,045. Multiple locations across Iran continue to be bombarded as Tehran carries out retaliatory attacks across the entire region. Explosions have been 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.


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.


Dubai Airport Shut — Middle East Aviation Paralyzed

In a massive blow to global aviation, Dubai International Airport — one of the world's busiest airports — has been shut down after Iranian attacks caused significant damage. The attacks shut down several major airport hubs in the Middle East, including Dubai's international airport. The airport and the emirate's famed Burj Al Arab hotel were damaged in Iranian attacks. Other projectiles also hit airports in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. Qatar Airways has also grounded all flights indefinitely.

6 US Soldiers Killed

Six US service members are reported to have been killed in Iranian counterattacks. Four died in a drone strike in Kuwait. President Trump acknowledged the losses, saying more casualties are likely before the conflict ends.


Strait of Hormuz — Global Oil Crisis

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to send shockwaves through global energy markets. About 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas is shipped through the Strait. Iranian strikes also hit Ras Laffan, the world's largest LNG export plant in Qatar, and state-owned QatarEnergy has shut down LNG production.


Maersk Suspends Cargo

Shipping company Maersk has suspended all cargo in and out of seven Middle Eastern nations until further notice.  This is expected to cause severe supply chain disruptions across Europe and Asia in the coming weeks.


Americans Evacuating Middle East

The US State Department has urged all American citizens to leave the Middle East immediately. Secretary of State Rubio said the State Department has been helping Americans evacuate from the Middle East, using military, commercial and chartered flights, with 9,000 Americans having already left the region. 


Impact on India

The ongoing conflict has serious implications for India. Oil prices have surged dramatically due to the Strait of Hormuz closure. India imports over 85% of its oil needs through the Persian Gulf. Higher oil prices are expected to push up petrol and diesel prices in India in the coming days. The Indian government has asked all Indian nationals in Gulf countries to remain vigilant and register with the Indian Embassy in their respective countries immediately.


What Happens Next?

President Trump has said the war could last four to five weeks. The United Nations Security Council continues emergency sessions but no ceasefire agreement has been reached. World leaders including those from China, Russia, and the European Union are calling for an immediate end to hostilities. The world watches anxiously as this conflict threatens to reshape the entire geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and beyond.

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.

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...
