Iran's 'Eqtedar' Military Exercise: Air Defense Drills & Nuclear Site Protection –Threat to U.S
Iran has launched its new military exercise, "Eqtedar" (Might), in the western and northern air defense zones, including regions hosting critical nuclear facilities like Fordow and Khondab.
This large-scale exercise involves missile, radar, electronic warfare, reconnaissance, and deception operations aimed at defending strategic sites, including those crucial for uranium enrichment.
The drills also simulate air and missile defense against potential enemy threats.
As tensions rise with the U.S. and Israel, especially amid the ongoing Houthi and IDF conflict, these exercises are viewed as a direct show of force and military preparedness.
Iran’s military has ramped up its activities in response to evolving security threats, signaling a potential shift in regional dynamics.
With military drills stretching until March and escalating tensions, Iran’s message is clear: it's prepared to defend its sovereignty and nuclear infrastructure against any foreign incursions.

Houthis have launched a powerful revenge attack targeting U.S. and Israeli military assets. The USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers were struck by ballistic missiles and drones in a coordinated assault in the Arabian and Red Seas. This marks the first strike on the Carl Vinson since its arrival in the region. Houthis claim the attack is a direct response to the recent deadly U.S. airstrike on Yemen’s oil port that killed 58 people. In another blow to U.S. capabilities, a fifth American MQ-9 drone was shot down over Sana'a. As tensions soar, this bold strike signals a turning point in the regional power struggle.

At least 58 people are dead and more than 120 injured after a U.S. airstrike hit Yemen’s Ras Isa oil terminal. A second strike killed first responders attempting to rescue survivors, prompting Yemen to call the attack a war crime. Civilian infrastructure, including oil facilities and aid workers, were targeted. While Washington claims the site was used by Houthi forces, Yemen strongly denies this and accuses the U.S. of supporting Israel’s war in Gaza. As President Trump escalates strikes across Yemen, the region edges closer to all-out war.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled “genocidal war” on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egypt’s national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

In a retaliatory move after recent U.S. airstrikes on Yemen's vital port infrastructure, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile at Israel. The IDF intercepted the missile mid-air, preventing damage or casualties. Sirens rang out across Jerusalem and parts of the West Bank. The Houthis have now launched over 20 such attacks since Israel reignited its Gaza offensive on March 18. The missile is believed to be part of a coordinated revenge campaign targeting U.S. allies in the region. A new IDF alert system was deployed during this latest strike.

Hamas has declared it is ready to release all hostages—but only under a full ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, rejecting any partial or temporary truce. The group blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed phased plan as a “deceptive war tactic” aimed at prolonging the conflict. As diplomatic channels scramble, the statement raises tensions and casts uncertainty over hopes for a breakthrough in negotiations.

Al-Quds Brigades launched a deadly ambush on Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the heart of Gaza. The militant faction deployed booby-traps, fired 107mm rocket barrages, and reportedly seized control of Israeli surveillance drones during the fierce clashes. As intense street battles rage on in areas like Shujayea, this ambush marks one of the deadliest days for Israeli troops since the ground invasion began. With mounting casualties and battlefield setbacks, the Gaza conflict enters a new, more volatile phase.

Hamas now claims it has lost contact with the personnel guarding Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander, captured on October 7. According to Al Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida, an Israeli airstrike directly targeted the location where Alexander was held, possibly killing his guards. Hamas accuses Israel of trying to eliminate hostages to reduce political pressure. Israel denies the allegations, stating all strikes are planned to avoid harming captives. The IDF continues operations in Gaza as uncertainty grows over the fate of Alexander. The situation remains tense and unclear.

After meetings in D.C., JD Vance joined Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an Easter lunch in Rome. Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trump’s stance against "woke ideology." Trump, who has been critical of the EU, made an exception for Meloni, his only invited EU leader in January. Meloni is pushing for U.S. tariffs on the EU to be reduced, promising increased gas purchases and Italian investments in the U.S. Trump accepted her invitation to meet European leaders in Rome, but no date has been set.
