Iran denies report of 10 aircraft joining fleet from Saudi Arabia

War has erased Iran’s already weak growth prospects. The economy shrinks as prices rise at one of the region’s fastest rates, forcing households to bear war, sanctions and years of economic mismanagement through fewer jobs, weaker incomes and collapsing purchasing power.
The International Monetary Fund expects Iran’s economy to contract by 6.1% in 2026, after an estimated decline of 1.5% last year. Average consumer-price inflation, already above 50% in 2025, is forecast to accelerate to 68.9%.
Third US strike on Iran triggers strait closure, attacks on regional bases
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) says the US has completed a third round of strikes this week against Iran at the direction of US President Donald Trump in response to an attack on a civilian ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The US carried out strikes on 140 Iranian military targets, including missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, ammunition stockpiles, communications networks and coastal surveillance facilities, it said.
"Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay," US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on social media.
Explosions were heard in the Iranian port cities of Bandar Abbas, Sirik and Chabahar, according to Iranian media, as well as on Qeshm Island, the largest island in the Persian Gulf and home to an underground Iranian missile base.
