Washington. The ongoing war in West Asia has now reached a level from where there is no visible way back. A statement issued from the Pentagon on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 has shaken the entire world. US Secretary of Defense (Secretary of War) Pete Hegseth has announced that today will be the most intense day of our attacks inside Iran. He clarified that the US Air Force and Navy will now target those Iranian targets which were protected till now. But on the other hand, on the 11th day of the war, the American President has softened a bit and has said that he himself is ready to talk to Iran. But on the other hand, he also fiercely attacked Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
US President Donald Trump made a direct attack on Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei in an interview given to Fox News. Regarding Mojtaba, who was recently handed over to the post after the death of his father Ali Khamenei, Trump said, ‘I don’t think Mojtaba Khamenei will be able to live in peace.’ Trump’s indication was clear that America is in no mood to accept Iran’s new leadership or allow it to flourish.
Trump again warned Mojtaba
However, Trump has not completely closed the doors of negotiations. He said, ‘The news has reached me that Tehran wants to talk badly. I am also ready to talk, but it will completely depend on my conditions. Trump has reiterated his demand for ‘Unconditional Surrender’.
UAE and Qatar on target of Tehran
On the other hand, Iran, demonstrating its power, has launched a series of missile and drone attacks on neighboring countries UAE and Qatar.
- Situation of UAE: UAE Air Force detected 9 ballistic missiles and 35 drones today. Of these, 8 missiles were destroyed in the air, while one fell in the sea. According to the UAE Defense Ministry, till now they have shot down more than 1500 Iranian rockets and drones.
- Attack on Qatar: Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani has strongly condemned Iran’s attacks. He said Iran’s arguments deserve to be ‘completely rejected’. Qatar, which had been trying to keep itself neutral, is now in defensive mode after the attacks on its energy facilities and civilian infrastructure.
Scene of devastation on the 11th day of the war
This war, which has entered its 11th day, has taken thousands of lives so far. According to US Defense Ministry data, about 3000 Iranian military personnel have been killed and more than 50 ships of its navy have been sunk. The Israeli Army (IDF) is also opening a front against Hezbollah in South Lebanon, where more than 500 people are reported to have been killed so far.
Impact on the world: Oil crosses $120
The worst impact of this great war is on the global economy. Crude oil prices have reached close to $120 per barrel. Countries like Egypt have increased fuel prices by up to 17% to save their economy. Due to the practical closure of the Strait of Hormuz, 20% of the world’s oil supply has come to a standstill.
On the other hand, Pentagon chief Hegseth has warned that Russia should not interfere in this matter. He said that there has been a conversation between President Trump and Putin, in which Russia has been ‘advised’ to stay away from this conflict. Will tonight’s US strikes decide whether this war will be a ‘short-term excursion’, as Trump is claiming, or will it lead the world into World War III?
