The United States And Israel Have Started A War In The Middle East For Two Weeks, And The United States Will Launch A 'violent Air Strike' On Iran Next Week

As of March 13, this round of war in the Middle East started by the United States and Israel has lasted for two weeks.

On the 13th, the United States said it expected to launch a "violent air strike" on Iran next week and planned to destroy Iran's military capabilities. The US military was also revealed to have sent additional marines and warships to the Middle East. The Israeli army also continues to fight on multiple fronts and stated that it will further increase its troops to the north of Israel to deal with Lebanese Hezbollah.

In response, Iran launched a total of 4 rounds of "True Commitment-4" counterattacks throughout the day on the 13th. In the early morning of the 14th, Tehran time, Israel said it had detected a new round of ballistic missile attacks from Iran.

Members of Iran's "Resistance Front" and the Iraqi militia "Islamic Resistance Organization" also claimed on the 13th that they had shot down a US military tanker plane. The US military later confirmed that all six crew members on board the tanker died.

The US president said "violent air strikes" on Iran and Israeli forces will continue on multiple fronts next week

Although U.S. President Trump has repeatedly stated recently that the United States will soon end its military operations against Iran, in his latest statement on the 13th, Trump still threatened to carry out "violent air strikes" against Iran next week. U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth even made a hawkish statement on the same day that "the United States plans to destroy all threatening Iranian military capabilities."

U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth held a press conference on the 13th on the U.S. military’s actions against Iran.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth held a press conference on the U.S. military's actions against Iran on the 13th. In addition to further attacking Iran's military capabilities, Hegseth also revealed that the United States and Israel had struck more than 15,000 "enemy targets." Hegseth also said that the number of Iranian missiles has been reduced by "90%" and the number of suicide drones has been reduced by "95%."

On the day when U.S. President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth issued harsh words against Iran, three U.S. officials revealed that U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth had approved the request of the U.S. Central Command to dispatch an amphibious alert group and its affiliated Marine expeditionary force. The force usually consists of several warships and 5,000 Marines.

In addition, the USS Tripoli amphibious assault ship stationed in Japan and its marines were also revealed to be heading to the Middle East. It is unclear whether this is part of the additional troop deployment mentioned above. These officials also said that the US Marine Corps has previously provided support in military operations against Iran. As of now, U.S. officials have not made a clear response to content such as sending more troops to the Middle East.

Based on the information released by the US and the Israel Defense Forces, the US and Israeli forces have recently carried out multiple rounds of large-scale air strikes on Tehran, the capital of Iran, as well as central and western Iran, hitting hundreds of targets. These include:

Iranian intelligence agencies;

missile launcher;

defense system;

weapons production base;

Nuclear research facilities, etc.

In terms of specific actions, the Israeli army stated on the 13th that it has launched more than 1,100 attacks on Lebanese Hezbollah since the beginning of this month. The strikes include:

Approximately 190 Hezbollah Radwan Force military targets;

more than 200 rocket launchers;

approximately 35 command posts;

More than 380 Hezbollah militants were killed.

In terms of operations against Iran, according to the latest description of military operations against Iran released by the Israeli army on the 13th, the Israeli army has launched more than 7,600 air strikes in Iran in the past two weeks. Details include:

Approximately 2,000 targeting Iranian government “headquarters and assets”;

About 4,700 times targeted Iran's missile program.

The Israeli army estimates that 4,000 to 5,000 Iranian officers and soldiers have been killed.

The Israeli army also stated that it is preparing for military operations against Iran to continue for several more weeks. The Israeli army "still has many targets to hit and many threats to eliminate" and is "determined to achieve all goals."

On the evening of the 13th, Tehran, the capital of Iran, was attacked again, and a huge explosion was heard. Subsequently, the Israeli military said it had launched a new round of large-scale air strikes on Tehran, the capital of Iran. In addition, the Israeli army also launched a "large-scale attack" on Tehran's infrastructure on the afternoon of the 13th, which coincided with the "Quds Day" demonstrations held in Tehran and many places in Iran to oppose the aggression of the United States and Israel. A number of senior Iranian officials, including Iran's president, attended the rally in the capital Tehran.

An exclusive video obtained by reporters from the main station showed that a few minutes before the official start of the rally, an explosion occurred at a location near the rally in Tehran. However, the Iranian people did not leave and continued to hold high the Iranian flag, chant anti-American and anti-Israel slogans, and vowed to take practical actions to resist the US-Israeli aggression.
