=====A Trump official quits over the Iran war, as Israel says it killed 2 Iranian commanders=====
[https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/npr-news/2026-03-17/israel-says-it-killed-2-top-iranian-commanders-in-a-targeted-strike
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 17 2026] Summary: NPR reports that Israel said it killed Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani in a targeted strike in Tehran. The story also says Joe Kent, the head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, resigned over the war, making him the first senior Trump administration official to step down in protest. The article frames the killings as among the highest-profile assassinations since the war began. It also notes simultaneous concern about a possible wider Israeli offensive in Lebanon. The piece presents the war as continuing to widen diplomatically and militarily across the region.


=====All 6 U.S. crew are dead after a military aircraft goes down in Iraq=====
[[File:Geography of Environmental Injustice.png|65px]][[Communities Affected by Pollution]] 9/12
[https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/npr-news/2026-03-13/all-6-u-s-crew-are-dead-after-a-military-aircraft-goes-down-in-iraq
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 13 2026] Summary: NPR says all six crew members aboard a KC-135 refueling aircraft that went down in western Iraq were killed. The report says the loss raised the U.S. military death toll in the war and was not believed to be caused by hostile fire or friendly fire. It adds that more U.S. Marines were being sent to the Middle East as the conflict deepened. The article also describes concern that the war may end without a negotiated deal and could settle into repeated cycles of retaliation. Iraq appears in the story as a major secondary theater where Iran-linked groups have been targeting U.S. bases and diplomatic sites.


=====Iran issues statement purported to be from new leader as war with U.S. and Israel rages=====
[[File:30x30 Biodiversity Conservation Goals.png|65px]][[30x30 Conservation Initiative]] 9/08
[https://www.nhpr.org/2026-03-12/iran-issues-statement-purported-to-be-from-new-leader-as-war-with-u-s-and-israel-rages
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 12 2026] Summary: NPR reports that Iranian state media published what it said was the first statement from Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s new supreme leader. The message vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and continue attacks on U.S. bases in the region. The article also says millions of people have been displaced inside Iran and that humanitarian pressures are increasing in Lebanon and Syria as well. Importantly for Iraq, NPR says two oil tankers were hit in Iraqi territorial waters near Basra, marking an escalation into Iraqi waters. The story presents Iraq as directly affected by the war even though the main conflict remains between Iran and the U.S.-Israeli coalition.


=====Photos from Iran and across the Middle East as the war enters Week 2=====
[[File:Preserving Japanese American Incarceration Legacy.png|65px]][[Japanese American Incarceration]] 9/07
[https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/npr-news/2026-03-10/photos-from-iran-and-across-the-middle-east-as-the-war-enters-week-2
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 10 2026] Summary: This NPR photo essay presents the war visually across Iran, Israel, Lebanon, and other regional flashpoints. It emphasizes that the conflict spread quickly after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. The images highlight destruction, displacement, and military activity across multiple countries. Rather than focus on one battlefield, the piece shows how the war has become regionwide. It serves as a broad visual overview of the conflict’s first two weeks.


=====The U.S. vowed its “most intense day of strikes inside Iran”=====
[[File:Power,_Memory,_and_the_Archive.png|65px]][[Who Writes the World's History?]] 9/05
[https://www.ksut.org/2026-03-10/the-pentagon-says-this-will-be-our-most-intense-day-of-strikes-inside-iran
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 10 2026] Summary: NPR says the Trump administration announced what it called its heaviest day of strikes inside Iran so far. The article describes the eleventh day of war as one of intensified U.S. bombing and continued Israeli attacks in Lebanon. It also notes that Iraqi officials said an airstrike killed five members of an Iran-linked militia in Kirkuk. That detail shows how Iraq was being pulled further into the surrounding conflict. The overall tone of the story is that the war was escalating in both intensity and geographic reach.


=====Retired U.S. Navy vice admiral discusses risk of lengthy Iran conflict=====
[[File:Zone 2 Cardio for Longevity.png|65px]][[Zone 2 cardio and longevity]] 9/04
[https://www.kpcw.org/npr-news/2026-03-09/retired-u-s-navy-vice-admiral-discusses-risk-of-lengthy-iran-conflict
| Michel Martin | NPR | March 9 2026] Summary: In this NPR interview, a retired U.S. Navy vice admiral discusses the danger that the Iran war could become prolonged. The segment appears to assess operational risks and likely duration rather than focus on one single event. Its framing suggests skepticism that the campaign can be resolved quickly. The interview format gives it a more analytical tone than NPR’s live updates. It contributes strategic context for understanding why the conflict may keep spreading into places like Iraq and the Gulf.


=====How Iranians are responding to the appointment of their new supreme leader=====
[[File:Fire as Stewardship Infographic.png|65px]][[Indigenous Fire Management]] 9/01
[https://www.nprillinois.org/2026-03-09/how-iranians-are-responding-to-the-appointment-of-their-new-supreme-leader
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 9 2026] Summary: NPR reports on Iranian reactions after Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed supreme leader following the killing of his father. The article says Iran’s Assembly of Experts made the choice in defiance of pressure from President Trump. It presents the succession as politically significant because it signals continuity rather than moderation during wartime. The story appears to focus on public and political reaction inside Iran. It helps explain how Iran’s domestic leadership transition is shaping the broader war.


=====Iran names new supreme leader as war spreads and oil prices surge=====
[[File:Rebuilding Local News Civic Infrastructure.png|65px]][[Rebuilding Local Government Reporting]] 8/30
[https://www.wlrn.org/npr-breaking-news/2026-03-09/iran-names-new-supreme-leader-as-war-spreads-and-oil-prices-surge
| Aya Batrawy | NPR | March 9 2026] Summary: NPR says Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei as its new supreme leader after his father was killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike. The story says the choice suggests Iran’s leadership intends to stay on a hard-line path. It also notes that oil prices climbed above $100 a barrel as the war spread. The combination of leadership succession and higher oil prices underscores both the political and economic stakes. The piece frames the conflict as one with immediate global market consequences.


=====U.S. Embassy in Baghdad again urges Americans to leave Iraq as Trump touts strikes on Iran=====
[[File:Transform Lawns Into Living Habitats.png|65px]][[Backyard Habitat Restoration]] 8/30
[https://www.marfapublicradio.org/2026-03-14/u-s-military-bombs-kharg-island-irans-main-oil-export-hub-trump-says
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 14 2026] Summary: NPR reports that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad again urged Americans to leave Iraq as the war with Iran escalated. The article says Trump touted strikes on Kharg Island while also complaining about media coverage of the war. It links the Iraq warning to heightened danger around Baghdad and the broader regional fallout of the campaign. The story presents Iraq as a place where the war’s secondary risks are becoming acute for U.S. personnel and civilians. It is one of the clearest NPR items tying the Iran war directly to events inside Iraq.


=====“We never asked for a ceasefire,” says Iran’s foreign minister, as war keeps raging=====
[[File:CTE Risk in Contact Sports.png|65px]][[CTE Risk in Sports]] 8/28
[https://www.upr.org/npr-news/2026-03-15/we-never-asked-for-a-ceasefire-says-irans-foreign-minister-as-war-keeps-raging
| NPR Staff | NPR | March 15 2026] Summary: NPR reports that Iran’s foreign minister denied asking for a ceasefire, contradicting President Trump’s claim. The story says Israel was continuing major strikes on western Iran while the conflict showed no sign of slowing down. It depicts the war as moving into a grinding stage rather than toward rapid de-escalation. The article also reinforces the sense of widening regional instability around the core Iran battlefield. It fits NPR’s broader recent coverage portraying an open-ended conflict with spillover effects beyond Iran and Israel.
