Iranian missile strikes injure over 100 in southern Israeli towns The local fire service said there was extensive damage in Arad, with three buildings affected and a blaze sparked in one of them. AFP Picture  AFP reported Iranian missile strikes on two southern Israeli towns wounded more than 100 people yesterday, Saturday 21 March, medics said, after Israeli air defence systems failed to intercept the projectiles. The two direct hits tore open the fronts of residential buildings and carved craters into the ground. Magen David Adom first responders said 84 people were wounded in the town of Arad, 10 of them seriously, hours after 33 were wounded in nearby Dimona.

‘Trump losing control’ of Iran war outcome and narrative

Image
An Iranian missile attack off Haifa, Israel, in response to US-Israeli air strikes. Analysts said US president Donald Trump misjudged how Iran would respond with missiles and armed drones. EPA Images Picture With the war on Iran entering its third week, US president Donald Trump appears to be losing control of the outcome, and the narrative on the war, according to a Reuters analysis. Trump, according to a White House official, was caught off guard by the resistance of fellow Nato members (whom he has since branded as “cowards”) and other allies to his call for them to deploy their navies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.
