Shahed drones, F-14 fighter jets, and Haj Qasem missile: Weapons Iran has reportedly used in the war

Iran is reportedly using a mix of advanced and legacy weapons in the ongoing war, including Shahed kamikaze drones, Haj Qasem ballistic missiles, and aging F-14 fighter jets. These systems highlight Iran’s strategy of combining low-cost drone swarms with precision missile strikes

The United States is reportedly weighing the possibility of ground troop deployment as the war with Iran intensifies, though no final decision has been made. Washington is considering sending thousands of additional troops to the Middle East to secure key strategic locations like the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s critical Kharg Island oil hub.

The conditions highlight growing caution among Western nations as the Iran conflict threatens global energy routes.


US-Iran War: Germany, Italy And France Offer Help With Hormuz Only After Ceasefire

As the US‑Iran war continues, President Donald Trump is navigating a fraught strategic balancing act between military pressure on Iran and volatile global oil markets. Trump has directed precision strikes on Iranian military infrastructure while sparing core oil facilities to avoid exacerbating price spikes. 


US-Iran War: Donald Trump Balances War Strategy with Oil Market Risks

Iran has intensified missile and drone assaults across multiple Gulf states as part of its retaliation in the broader US-Israel-Iran conflict that erupted in late February 2026. Tehran has targeted energy infrastructure, ports, US military sites and commercial facilities in countries including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar, prompting air‑defense engagements, brief airspace closures and damage to civilian and military installations.

Crude war: Oil tanker firm paid Iran $2 million for Strait of Hormuz safe passage; Iran mulls surcharge as US gas costs $8 at some pumps

WASHINGTON: With the Iran war entering its third week, the Trump administration is in hot water for reportedly requesting a staggering $200 billion in emergency funding. Amid concerns about the staggering bill of the Iran war, US President Donald Trump on Thursday (Mar 20) sought to downplay the costs, dismissing the bill as a "small price" to keep the US military "tippy top." Meanwhile, as soaring costs, combined with the Strait of Hormuz energy crisis, fuel economic troubles at home, Trump's Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has sparked controversy by saying it "takes money to kill bad guys." The Trump aide said this when asked by a reporter about the $200bn request. Internal reports suggest, in just the first six days of the conflict, the US burned through $11.3 billion—a nearly $2 billion-a-day price tag driven by dual carrier strike groups and a rain of "standoff" cruise missiles.

European leaders have publicly refused to join a NATO‑led effort to counter Iran after U.S. and Israeli strikes, emphasizing diplomatic solutions and rejecting military involvement in reopening blocked sea lanes such as the Strait of Hormuz. Germany and other EU states stress autonomy, citing lack of mandate and public opposition to war escalation.


US-Iran War: European Leaders Reject NATO Role in Iran War Despite Support for US‑Israel Strikes

A US F-35 fighter jet was forced to make an emergency landing at a US air base in the Middle East after reportedly being struck by suspected Iranian fire, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for US Central Command, said the fifth-generation stealth jet was “flying a combat mission over Iran” when it encountered trouble and had to land.&nbsp;Hawkins confirmed the aircraft landed safely and that an investigation is underway. “The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition,” he said. “This incident is under investigation.” If confirmed, the strike would mark the first instance of Iran successfully hitting a US aircraft since the conflict began in late February. Both US and Israeli forces have been deploying F-35 jets in the ongoing war, with each aircraft valued at over $100 million. The emergency landing comes amid continued claims of success from senior US officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday that the US is “winning decisively” and that Iran’s air defense systems have been “flattened.”<h2>Watch the video here released by Iran</h2>

US F-35 hit by Iranian missile as jet makes emergency landing. Here's what we know

A US F-35 fighter jet was forced to make an emergency landing at a US air base in the Middle East after reportedly being struck by suspected Iranian fire, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for US Central Command, said the fifth-generation stealth jet was “flying a combat mission over Iran” when it encountered trouble and had to land. Hawkins confirmed the aircraft landed safely and that an investigation is underway. “The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition,” he said. “This incident is under investigation.” If confirmed, the strike would mark the first instance of Iran successfully hitting a US aircraft since the conflict began in late February. Both US and Israeli forces have been deploying F-35 jets in the ongoing war, with each aircraft valued at over $100 million. The emergency landing comes amid continued claims of success from senior US officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday that the US is “winning decisively” and that Iran’s air defense systems have been “flattened.” Watch the video here released by Iran

The US-Iran war is proving costly as the Pentagon reportedly requested more than $200 billion in additional funding from Congress to sustain military operations, replenish munitions, and support ongoing strikes in Iran. 


US-Iran War | Report: Pentagon Request Over $200 Billion Funding for Iran War 

As the Iran war escalates, experts are concerned that the current situation could trigger a nuclear war. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is worried and says it is preparing for the possibility of a nuclear catastrophe. Politico quoted Hanan Balkhy, WHO regional director for the eastern Mediterranean, as saying that the United Nations is keeping a close watch on the fallout of US-Israeli attacks on Iran’s atomic sites. “The worst-case scenario is a nuclear incident, and that's something that worries us the most,” Balkhy said. She added that they can prepare but not "prevent the harm that will come". Balkhy warned, "The consequences are going to last for decades" if this scenario ever unfolds. Notably, the US and Israel have been striking several regions in Iran, including those where nuclear plants are located. Iran earlier said that a projectile struck the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant premises on Tuesday evening. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that Tehran claims it hit close to the operating reactor unit.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-it-takes-money-to-kill-bad-guys-pentagon-defends-200-billion-for-iran-war-as-hegseth-says-number-could-move-1773926561828">Pentagon defends $200 billion for Iran war as Hegseth says number ‘could move’</a><h2>Nuclear cataclysm and the world</h2>"We are thinking about it, and we're just really hoping that it does not happen," she said.

Humanity has set the stage for self-annihilation as WHO admits nuclear disaster possible amid Iran war

The US-Iran conflict has taken a dangerous turn as Iran targets Qatar’s key gas infrastructure, triggering massive fires at one of the world’s largest LNG hubs. Missile strikes on Ras Laffan responsible for a significant share of global gas supply have caused extensive damage and disrupted operations.

The attack comes in retaliation to earlier strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas reserve shared with Qatar. As flames engulf critical facilities and exports face disruption, fears of a global energy crisis are rising, with gas and oil prices already surging amid escalating tensions.

The threat follows attacks on Iran’s key gas sites, including the vital South Pars field, triggering fears of a full-scale energy war.

Iran has specifically warned Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, that their oil and gas facilities could become targets. With retaliatory strikes already hitting major energy hubs and disrupting supply, global oil and gas markets are on edge.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not deny reports that the Pentagon is seeking more than $200 billion in additional funding from Congress for the ongoing Iran war. “I think that number could move.

He explained that the administration is preparing to return to Congress to secure sufficient funding for both current and future operations. “So we’re going back to Congress and our folks there to, to ensure that we’re properly funded for what’s been done, for what we may have to do in the future, ensure that our ammunition is, everything’s refilled and not just refilled, but above and beyond.”&nbsp;Hegseth emphasised that the proposed figure remains flexible, noting again that it “could move.” However, according to a senior administration official cited in the report, some within the White House are skeptical that a funding request exceeding $200 billion would pass Congress.
