On March 10, residents in the capital Tehran faced "the most horrific night in history" when a series of consecutive explosions shook high-rise buildings.
Black smoke from oil depots hit by bullets covered the entire sky, causing acid rain.
The World Health Organization (WHO) immediately issued an emergency warning, requiring people to stay indoors to avoid the risk of respiratory poisoning caused by waste from oil and gas explosions.
This bombardment takes place in the context of major contradictions in US messages. While President Donald Trump hinted that the conflict is coming to an end, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth affirmed that the US will not stop until the opponent is completely defeated.
Mr. Hegseth emphasized that the US military is stepping up attacks according to its own roadmap to crush Iran's resistance will and ability to maintain combat.
As of the morning of March 11, the US-Israel coalition has carried out more than 5,000 attacks targeting strategic targets. The focus of the campaign is to eradicate the capability of cruise missiles, drones and weaken the Iranian navy to clear the Strait of Hormuz. This is a vital waterway transporting about 1/5 of the world's crude oil, which is currently paralyzed by military activities and retaliatory blows from Iran aimed at US allies.
The escalating war has not only claimed the lives of more than 1,200 civilians in Iran but has also begun to cause damage to the US military with 7 soldiers killed and more than 140 injured.
On the international market, economists warn that production disruptions in the Gulf and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could push the world into the worst energy crisis since the 1970s.
The conflict at this time is no longer simply military strikes but has become a comprehensive intellectual battle with economic and psychological weapons to re-establish order in the Middle East region.
