Iran war: Morning recap

Middle East Eye2/15/2026 – 3/7/2026

Summary

The US-Israeli war on Iran has entered its eighth day, with continued air strikes reported in Tehran and Isfahan. According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, the US and Israel have targeted a total of 6,668 civilian facilities across Iran. This includes 5,535 residential units, 1,041 commercial units, 14 medical centers, 65 schools, and 13 centers affiliated with the Iranian Red Crescent. The conflict has resulted in at least 1,332 reported deaths since the war began last weekend. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued an apology to neighboring countries on Saturday, stating that a temporary leadership council had decided to suspend attacks against them unless Iran is attacked from their territory. This statement comes amid rising tensions and military actions in the region. Shortly after the announcement, explosions were reported in Qatar and the UAE, with a drone strike occurring at Dubai International Airport, which temporarily suspended flights. The origin of the drone has not been identified. The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about regional stability and the humanitarian impact of the military actions. The situation remains fluid, with developments occurring rapidly as both sides continue their military operations.
