On March 7, 2023, Israel announced a new wave of 'broad-scale' strikes targeting government facilities in Tehran, Iran, including Mehrabad Airport. This escalation follows a week in which US Central Command reported that over 3,000 Iranian targets had been hit, including military installations linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. US President Donald Trump has stated that only unconditional surrender from Iran would halt the conflict, rejecting any negotiations. The ongoing violence has resulted in significant civilian casualties, with at least 1,332 Iranian civilians reported dead and 217 fatalities in Lebanon due to Israeli airstrikes. The Norwegian Refugee Council estimates that 300,000 people in Lebanon have been displaced. Amid these developments, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for urgent diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation. The situation remains dire, with warnings of a looming humanitarian disaster in the region.
