Weeklong War in Middle East

March 8, 2026

The horrors of the US-Israel war with Iran continued unabated on the seventh day. Iran launched a heavy missile attack on Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Donald Trump vowed to destroy Iran’s air force and navy, but he also made it clear that he would not send his army into this war because it would be of no significant benefit. The horrors of the war continue unabated.

Civilian targets are also being attacked, in violation of the rules of war. After the attack on a girls’ school in Iran, killing 165 students, medical facilities are now being attacked. There are reports of some doctors being killed as well, but Trump maintains that this war with Iran was necessary because Iran wanted to blackmail the world by becoming a nuclear power.

The horrors of the war are such that a record 1,500 people have been killed so far. Of these, approximately 1,300 are Iranians. But one thing has become clear: this war is no longer a matter of a few days. Now, even Trump is saying it could take at least 100 days. Experts believe that this war could continue until September or October. China has stated that the war must end as soon as possible. Prior to this, Russia also clarified that its recent strategic agreement with Iran did not include any provision for sending Russian troops.

This is being interpreted as meaning that, for now, Russia and China will not commit their forces to this war in support of Iran. Meanwhile, NATO countries have also collectively refused to side with the US. On behalf of Ukraine, Zelensky has stated that he will support the US and added that if dialogue is initiated, he is ready to help stop the war. The result is that the countries currently at war will continue to engage in this deadly war, and its negative impact will be a disruption in the energy supply of other countries around the world. Investment and production will be scattered. How to improve this situation and stop the war is the biggest concern.
