Israel has launched a new round of large‑scale strikes on infrastructure in Tehran, and the United States has announced a significant increase in firepower. In response, Iran has issued a tough response, explicitly rejecting a cease‑fire, warning that its counterattacks in the coming days will be fiercer and more widespread, and stating it is fully prepared to repel a ground invasion. The conflict has already spilled over into multiple countries, severely disrupting global energy markets.

The U.S.‑Israeli military campaign against Iran continues to escalate, entering its seventh day with both sides issuing hard‑line signals and the situation spiraling into further escalation. Israel has announced a new round of “large‑scale strikes” on infrastructure in Tehran; U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has made clear that firepower will be “significantly increased”; and Iran has responded defiantly, declaring its attacks in the coming days will be “fiercer and more widespread” while flatly refusing a cease‑fire.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a statement in the early hours of March 6, announcing the start of a new round of “large‑scale strikes” on infrastructure in Tehran, Iran’s capital. The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel also targeted multiple sports stadiums and other civilian facilities in Tehran, sites believed to be used by Iranian security forces in emergency situations.

Meanwhile, according to CCTV News, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that U.S. military operations against Iran will be further escalated, with firepower over Tehran “about to increase significantly,” adding that the U.S. has “only just begun the fight.” A spokesman for Iran’s Armed Forces Khatam al‑Anbiya Central Headquarters immediately responded, saying Iran’s attacks on enemy positions in the coming days will be “fiercer and more widespread.”

The ongoing escalation has inflicted significant shocks on global markets. The Strait of Hormuz has effectively been closed, trapping vessels in the Persian Gulf, forcing Gulf oil producers to slash output sharply, and sending Asian refiners scrambling for alternative supplies. Brent crude surged past $85 per barrel on Thursday, while Wall Street stocks fell the same day. Roughly one‑fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies have been affected, air transport remains in disarray, and pressure on global supply chains has surged.

## IDF Launches New Large‑Scale Strikes on Tehran

According to Xinhua News Agency, the IDF issued a statement in the early hours of March 6, announcing the start of a new round of “large‑scale strikes” on infrastructure in Tehran.

On March 6, citing sources familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal reported that Israeli targets included multiple sports stadiums and other civilian sites in Tehran, which are commandeered by Iranian security forces during emergencies.

According to Reuters, Israel also shot down an Iranian Yak‑130 fighter jet—a Russian‑made jet trainer and light attack aircraft. The Israeli military released video claiming this marked the first time an F‑35 has shot down a manned fighter jet in air‑to‑air combat.

On the Lebanon front, the IDF on Thursday urged residents of southern Beirut to evacuate and struck Hezbollah command centers. Hezbollah subsequently issued a warning, calling on residents within 5 kilometers of the Israeli border to leave, and stating that “Israeli military aggression will not go unchallenged.” Thousands had already evacuated southern Beirut by Thursday.

## U.S. Escalates Military Deployment, Declares Ample Munitions

According to CCTV News, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the U.S. military will deploy additional fighter squadrons, boost offensive and defensive capabilities, and increase bomber sortie rates, with firepower against Tehran “set to rise significantly” in the coming period. He also revealed that Britain initially refused to allow U.S. forces to use the Diego Garcia base for operations, but the issue has now been resolved, and U.S. bombers have begun missions from the base.

According to Reuters, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said at a briefing that U.S. forces have sunk or destroyed more than 30 Iranian naval vessels, including a large drone carrier comparable in size to a World War II‑era aircraft carrier. B‑2 stealth bombers have dropped dozens of 2,000‑pound bunker‑busting bombs in the past few hours, targeting deeply buried ballistic missile launch sites and continuing to bomb Iranian missile production facilities.

Hegseth stated that the frequency of Iranian ballistic missile attacks has dropped by 90% since the first day of the war, while drone attack frequency has fallen by 83%. He emphasized that U.S. munition stockpiles are fully stocked, declaring “our magazines are full, our resolve is ironclad,” and called Iran’s belief that the U.S. cannot sustain operations a “grave miscalculation.”

According to CCTV News, Trump said in a previous interview that the military campaign against Iran has “no time limit,” with the primary goal of ensuring Iran “cannot acquire nuclear weapons” while also seeking to eliminate Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities. He acknowledged that the risk of retaliatory attacks on U.S. soil “always exists” and noted that “people will die” in war.

## Iran’s Tough Response: Rejects Cease‑Fire, Escalates Counterattacks

According to CCTV News, a spokesman for Iran’s Armed Forces Khatam al‑Anbiya Central Headquarters said on March 6 that Iran’s attacks on enemy positions in the coming days will be “fiercer and more widespread.”

The spokesman said that over the past few days, the Iranian Air Force and Navy have launched attack drones against Israel’s Ramat David Air Base and Meron Air Traffic Control Base. Iranian naval drones also struck the U.S. Camp Beurling in Kuwait, while ground forces carried out drone attacks on military bases near Erbil, Iraq.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir‑Abdollahian stated clearly on March 5 that Iran has not requested a cease‑fire and is fully prepared to repel a U.S. ground invasion. In an interview with NBC, he said the U.S. has attacked Iran repeatedly during negotiations, leaving Iran with no reason to engage with “those who lack sincerity.” Regarding a potential U.S. ground offensive, Amir‑Abdollahian said: “We are waiting for them. It will be a great disaster for them.”

Addressing Trump’s claim that he will “personally participate” in selecting Iran’s new leader, Amir‑Abdollahian emphasized: “This is absolutely a matter for the Iranian people; no one can interfere.” According to Reuters, Trump said in an earlier interview that “we will choose that person together with Iran,” but Hegseth later clarified that the U.S. has not expanded its military objectives in Iran.

## Conflict Spreads: Azerbaijan Attacked, Israeli Embassy in Bahrain Targeted

On March 6, Reuters reported that the conflict has reached Azerbaijan, making it the 13th country to be attacked since the war began.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said four Iranian drones crossed into the Nakhchivan exclave, injuring four people, and warned of retaliatory measures, stating: “We will not tolerate such unprovoked terror and aggression.” Iran has denied attacking Azerbaijan.

According to CCTV News, the Israeli Embassy in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, was attacked on March 6. Israel and Bahrain have yet to respond.

Reuters reported that Trump has also encouraged Iranian Kurdish forces in Iraqi Kurdistan to attack Iran, saying: “I think it’s a good thing they want to do this, and I fully support it.” The Iranian Kurdish alliance has reportedly held consultations with U.S. officials in recent days on how to target Iranian security forces in western Iran.
