<p>We’re concluding the third week of the <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/03/10/while-some-allies-hesitate-israel-is-already-in-the-fight-against-iran/">Israeli-United States effort</a> to emasculate Iran, and we’re, sort of, in a standoff period. I think people have compared Iran to the black knight in the old Monty Python movie. The more that he loses a leg and arm, the more he thinks that it’s just a scratch.</p>

<p><strong>Tehran, Iran</strong> – Heavily armed state forces continue to control Iran’s streets, despite the United States and Israel launching more strikes and preparing for a potential ground attack, as the nearly one-month war proceeds with no clear end point on the horizon</p>
<p>Checkpoints, roadblocks and patrols, some manned by masked forces wielding assault rifles and machine guns mounted on pick-up trucks, have become a common sight in Tehran.</p>

<p>If attempts to initiate high-level negotiations with Iran do not bear fruit and the Iranians continue to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the US could initiate a final blow that would serve a dual purpose — improving its position in future talks with Tehran, or allowing US President Donald Trump to end the war unilaterally with a victory image.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="underline">Day after IDF hit its South Pars field, Iran strikes Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, others, warns of ‘uncontrollable repercussions’ of further such attacks; Riyadh says it has right to military action</h4>
<p>US President Donald Trump said early Thursday that he would not allow another Israeli attack on Iran’s South Pars natural gas field, after the <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-strikes-major-iranian-gas-field-tehran-vows-to-hit-gulf-energy-sites-in-kind/">IDF struck the key energy site</a> the previous day.</p>
<p>Trump’s statement came after Iran attacked targets across the Gulf, including a gas hub in Qatar and oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, in response to the strike. The attacks were Iran’s latest targeting of the region amid the war with Israel and the US that began on February 28.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="underline">US president reportedly unmoved by briefing as he believes Mojtaba may be dead already, leaving Iran leaderless again; Kuwaiti outlet claims he was smuggled out of Iran to Russia</h4>
<p>US President Donald Trump was briefed recently on American intelligence showing that Iran’s late supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was wary about his son Mojtaba Khamenei replacing him as ruler in the event of his death, according to a Sunday report.</p>
<p>Sources familiar with the matter told CBS News that the elder Khamenei’s fears stemmed from the perception that Mojtaba, who was recently named as his father’s successor, was “not very bright, and was viewed as unqualified to be leader,” as well as from an awareness that Mojtaba had “issues in his personal life.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><em>The newly appointed supreme leader delivers a combative statement, pledging Iran will keep fighting.</em></h4>
<p>Mojtaba Khamenei has issued his first statement since taking over as Iran’s supreme leader after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several family members were assassinated in the United States and Israeli strikes at the outset of the war that has now <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/1/us-israel-attacks-on-iran-death-toll-and-injuries-live-tracker">embroiled much of the Middle East</a>.</p>
<p>In the statement attributed to him, which was read on Press TV on Thursday by a news anchor, Khamenei called for national unity and said the vital global artery of the Strait of Hormuz would continue to be closed to pressure Iran’s enemies.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP) at the American Enterprise Institute are publishing two updates daily to provide analysis on the war with Iran. The morning update will focus on US and Israeli strikes on Iran and Iran and the Axis of Resistance’s response to the strikes. The evening update will be more comprehensive, covering events over the past 24-hour period and refining items discussed in the morning update.</em></p>
<p><strong>ISW-CTP’s satellite imagery partner has expanded its imagery restrictions to include Iran and will now delay the release of all satellite imagery from the region by 14 days. ISW-CTP will be unable to confirm strikes or assess damage at sites using satellite imagery from this partner for at least 14 days after a strike occurs. We are exploring other options and methods to confirm strikes and will continue to confirm strikes where possible.</strong></p>
<h4>Key Takeaways</h4>

<li class="has-main-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ad34b97c263de69020f70331f266aab2">US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported on March 10 that US forces destroyed 16 Iranian minelayers near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian mining efforts are part of a broader Iranian effort to disrupt maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf to try to impose a cost on the Gulf states and the United States. Iranian efforts to mine the Strait of Hormuz will also likely further hinder Iran’s ability to export oil, including shipments to China, the largest importer of Iranian oil.</li>
