Middle East conflict intensifies into its third week with Israel launching new strikes on western Iran. The U.S. Defense Department identified six service members killed in a KC-135 refueling aircraft crash over western Iraq on March 12. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, while Saudi Arabia reported intercepting 26 Iranian drones and the UAE faced missile attacks. Air raid sirens activated across multiple locations including Tel Aviv, Bahrain, and Israel. President Trump expressed uncertainty about Iran's new supreme leader's status, claiming no one had seen him, while Defense Secretary Hegseth indicated the leader was wounded. Trump stated several U.S. allies responded to his call for Strait of Hormuz defense assistance, though none publicly confirmed involvement.
