NEW | Evening Iran Update: Israeli and US officials told Axios on March 13 that Israel is planning to “significantly expand” its ground campaign in Lebanon to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure south of the Litani River. A senior Israeli official said that Israel’s objectives are to “take over territory, push Hezbollah’s forces north and away from the border, and dismantle [Hezbollah’s] military positions and weapons depots in [southern Lebanese] villages.”
Neither Iran nor the United States is prepared to hold discussions to reach a ceasefire despite mediation efforts by Oman and Egypt, according to Iranian, regional, and White House officials speaking to Reuters on March 14. Three sources familiar with the efforts told Reuters that the Trump administration rejected efforts by Middle Eastern allies, including Oman and Egypt, to start diplomatic talks to end the war with Iran.
The United States struck Iranian military infrastructure on Kharg Island in Bushehr Province on March 13, in part to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that US forces conducted large-scale precision strikes targeting Kharg Island, destroying naval mine storage facilities, missile storage facilities, and other military sites.
United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported on March 14 that it has not observed any confirmed vessel attacks in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf of Oman in the past 48 hours. UKMTO warned that the threat environment in these areas remains critical, however.
Hezbollah claimed 43 attacks targeting Israeli forces and positions in northern Israel and southern Lebanon, as well as northern Israeli towns, between 3:00 PM ET on March 13 and 3:00 PM ET on March 14. This marks the highest number of attacks that Hezbollah has claimed in a 24-hour period since the start of the war.Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyofWar)NEW: The United States struck over 90 military targets, including missile and naval mine storage facilities, on Kharg Island on March 13. US President Donald Trump stated that the United States did not target Iranian oil infrastructure on the island.
More Key Takeaways:
An OSINT account geolocated CENTCOM footage that shows that the United States struck Kharg Airport, the Kharg Air Defense Complex, and a Matla ul Fajr radar on Kharg Island.Trump stated that the United States did not “wipe out” Iranian oil infrastructure on the island but warned that the United States could decide to do so if Iran continues to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran continued to target regional energy infrastructure on March 14. Iran conducted a drone attack targeting the UAE’s Fujairah Port, which is one of the largest oil storage facilities in the Middle East. The combined force has significantly limited Iran’s ability to conduct retaliatory attacks against energy infrastructure and other targets in the Middle East, as it has degraded Iran’s ballistic missile and drone capabilities, as evidenced in the graphic below.
The IDF separately struck air defense system production sites in Tehran and near Karaj, Alborz Province, on March 14. These strikes are part of the combined force’s effort to degrade Iran’s ability to rebuild its air defense network. The IDF also struck a diesel engine manufacturing company near Tabriz, East Azerbaijan Province, that is a subsidiary of the US-sanctioned Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran.
