- On March 22, 2026, Iranian government and military struck Arad after late Saturday attacks, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to inspect damage.
- President Donald Trump set a 48-hour deadline late Saturday and threatened to 'hit and obliterate' Iranian power plants, with roughly 4,500 U.S. sailors and Marines deploying to the region.
- Officials said at least 175 people were wounded, including more than 10 seriously, after Iranian missile strikes in southern Israel on Saturday.
- Nearly all tanker traffic through the Strait has stopped, affecting roughly one-fifth of global oil, while Lebanese authorities report more than 1,000 killed and over 1 million displaced.
- Iran said the Strait could be 'completely closed' and warned attacks would target regional energy and desalination facilities if its power plants are targeted.
