US-Israel-Iran War LIVE: US And Israeli Forces Srike Tehran And Isfahan As War On Iran Reaches One Month

The nationwide internet shutdown imposed by Iran has now lasted a full month, according to monitoring group NetBlocks.

“Exactly one month ago on Saturday morning, 28 February, Iran was plunged into digital darkness as authorities cut off access to the global internet. After four full weeks, 672 hours, the blackout remains in effect, violating Iranians’ right to communicate and stay informed,” it added.

The absence of internet access is making it difficult for civilians to communicate and to receive alerts about incoming attacks.

Kuwait News Agency reported that multiple drone attacks hit Kuwait International Airport, causing “significant” damage to its radar systems.

Civil aviation authorities said no injuries were reported, despite the impact on key infrastructure.

The United States and Iraq say they will strengthen coordination to prevent attacks by armed groups and stop Iraqi territory from being used to target sites linked to the US.

The US Embassy Baghdad said both sides had agreed to expand cooperation on security.

“The Iraqi and US sides decided to intensify cooperation to prevent terrorist attacks and ensure that Iraqi territory is not used as a launching point for any aggression … against US personnel, diplomatic missions, and the Global Coalition,” the embassy said.

The development comes amid the Israeli-US war on Iran and growing concerns over attacks on US facilities in Iraq.

Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base, located about a two-hour drive south of the capital Riyadh, has typically hosted between 2,000 and 3,000 United States troops, mainly focused on missile defence and logistical support for US military aircraft.

Since the war involving Iran began, the base has been repeatedly targeted. Reports say that late on Friday at least 12 US soldiers were injured, with two in serious condition, and several US refuelling aircraft were heavily damaged.

Sirens were heard again in Bahrain shortly before this report. Earlier in the day, the United Arab Emirates said an early morning attack caused debris to fall near the Khalifa Economic Zone in Abu Dhabi, close to Khalifa Port, injuring at least five people and damaging facilities.

This pattern of attacks is continuing into the fourth week, amid reports that Israel and the United States could intensify strikes on Iran, which may lead to further retaliation by Iran targeting US assets and Israeli interests across the Gulf.

Houthis have said they were responsible for launching a missile attack on Israel, marking their first involvement in the month-long war.

The group said it fired a barrage of ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli military sites in the southern part of the occupied West Bank. Earlier, the Israeli army reported detecting a single missile launched from Yemen.

In a statement, the Iran-aligned group said the attack was carried out in response to the targeting of infrastructure and the killing of civilians in Lebanon, Iran, Iraq and Palestine.

The group also said its operation “will continue until the declared objectives are achieved …. and until the aggression against all resistance fronts ceases”.

Senior diplomatic discussions aimed at reducing tensions in the Middle East are expected to be held in Pakistan in the coming days, according to Hakan Fidan, the foreign minister of Turkiye.

Speaking to a private network in Turkiye on Friday, Fidan said representatives from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkiye are working together to organise a meeting focused on the ongoing United States-Israeli war on Iran, reported Al Jazeera.

The meeting had initially been planned to take place in Turkiye, but Fidan said the location was changed to Islamabad as Pakistani officials need to remain in the country.

“It is possible that we will meet there this weekend,” Fidan added.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry and information ministry did not respond to queries. A report by state television indicated the talks could be held on March 30.

Earlier this month, the foreign ministers of the four countries met in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, Al Jazeera reported.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that an Israeli strike targeting a Civil Defence ambulance in the southern town of Kfar Tebnit killed a paramedic and injured four others.

It added that “this raid constitutes an additional war crime … and requires the international community to take measures to ensure accountability”.

The Israeli military said nine of its soldiers were wounded in southern Lebanon in two separate incidents, according to a statement posted on X.

On Friday, one Israeli soldier was seriously injured and another moderately wounded after an anti-tank missile was fired during fighting in southern Lebanon. In a separate incident overnight into Saturday, one soldier was seriously injured and six others were moderately wounded following rocket fire targeting forces operating in the same area.

The developments come as Israeli forces continue to advance deeper into Lebanese territory, reaching up to 7km (4.3 miles) in some areas.

Hezbollah is also engaging Israeli troops. While the military statement did not specify where the attacks took place, it followed reports from Hezbollah claiming an ambush on Israeli forces in the southern town of Taybeh, around 6km (3.7 miles) from the border.

The Iraqi pro-militia outlet Sabereen News reported that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-backed armed groups, carried out attacks on several air bases and an airport in Jordan.

According to the report, the locations named were King Faisal Air Base, King Abdullah Air Base, Queen Alia Airport, Prince Hassan Air Base and Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, with no further details given on the outcome.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency reports that security forces have arrested two individuals accused of planning an armed attack in northern Golestan province.

Officials said intelligence units uncovered what they described as a cell linked to the United States and Israel, based on public reports and surveillance.

The report states the suspects were detained before they could carry out an operation targeting security forces.

Authorities added that a raid on a hideout in Gorgan yielded four Colt rifles and 43 rounds of ammunition.

Four weeks into the United States-Israel war on Iran, millions of Lebanese civilians are enduring the effects of a second large-scale Israeli assault on their country in less than two years.

Mass forced evacuation orders by Israel for southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut, including Dahiyeh, have displaced around a quarter of the country’s population.

Those who remain in their homes are also under strain from ongoing deadly Israeli attacks, with few indications that the conflict will end soon.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters that he had reached an agreement with Iran to allow Thai oil vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

Anutin said the development would ease concerns about Thailand’s energy supply, as the country relies heavily on oil imports from the Middle East, according to a report by the AFP news agency.

Earlier this month, a Thai-flagged cargo ship was struck by unknown projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz. The crew was later rescued by Oman’s navy, although three crew members remain missing.

At the United Nations, China and Russia are being seen as gaining both political and economic advantage from the conflict involving Iran, while also keeping some distance from it, reported Al Jazeera.

A recent United Nations Security Council resolution, introduced by Bahrain on behalf of Gulf Arab states and Jordan, received backing from the United States and condemned Iran’s attacks on neighbouring countries. However, it did not criticise actions by the United States or Israel.

Accodring to Al Jazeera, China and Russia used this as a chance to criticise the United States’ conduct in the war, particularly following a strike that hit a school. This allowed China to present itself as an impartial voice on international law, while Russia, which has faced scrutiny over its actions in Ukraine, was able to shift some attention away from itself.

Despite their criticism, neither China nor Russia vetoed the resolution. The United States, in response, described them as being “Iran’s partners”.

This position may also reflect economic interests. Sanctions on Russian oil have eased, and China is reportedly supplying Iran with technology needed for the war, according to experts.

Earlier Saturday, Israel’s military said a missile had been launched toward Israel from Yemen, the first time it had come under fire from that country. Israel later said the missile had been intercepted.

Israel’s military said early Saturday that a missile had been launched from Yemen toward Israel, marking the first time it has faced fire from that country.

Overnight from Friday into Saturday, Iran and Hezbollah also continued launching attacks on Israel. Sirens sounded around Beer Sheba and near Israel’s main nuclear research center for the third time during the same night.

The Houthis had so far stayed out of the war, as the group has maintained an uneasy ceasefire for years with Saudi Arabia, which began a military campaign against them in 2015 on behalf of Yemen’s exiled government.
