Attacks intensify as conflict spans 14 countries

Iran launched a massive new wave of missile and drone attacks on Thursday, March 5, 2026, targeting Israeli and U.S. bases as Operation Epic Fury enters its sixth day. The regional war has now claimed over 1,200 lives, with U.S. Central Command reporting that Iranian ballistic missile capabilities are down 86% despite the ongoing strikes. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is visiting CENTCOM today to review strategy as the House prepares to vote on a War Powers Resolution.
