Defense Minister Israel Katz says the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, Alireza Tangsiri, was killed in an Israeli strike. "The IDF eliminated the commander of the IRGC Navy, the person directly responsible for the terror operation of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic," Katz says during an assessment this morning with military officials. Katz says the strike is a "message" to the IRGC: "The IDF will hunt you down and eliminate you one by one." "We will continue to operate in Iran with full force to achieve the objectives of the war," he adds. Tangsiri was targeted in the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas while meeting with senior commanders of the IRGC Navy, according to Israeli officials.

In the secret tunnels, the fighters prepare for the most important battle of their lives: to overthrow the Iranian regime. At 2,000 meters above sea level, drones circle like birds of prey. Up here, you are not safe until you go underground. Behind a hidden tunnel entrance, an army lives in complete secrecy. The Iranian-Kurdish resistance movement PJAK has secret bases in Iraq where they are preparing for battle against the Iranian regime. The fighters are ready for combat but demand a no-fly zone over Iran before crossing the border. There is distrust toward the United States due to past experiences.

This effectively makes the state of Iraq a belligerent in the current war in the region. It is an extremely ill-considered and short-sighted decision by the federal government in Baghdad, as this will make it responsible for any shots fired by these groups in the name of self-defense. As strange as it is, it is the predictable logical conclusion of a highly contradictory set-up: having a force subservient to a foreign government, fighting for that governmentโ€™s interests, and strategically embedded within Iraqโ€™s security apparatus for legal legitimacy and financial self-sufficiency. Instead of implementing its responsibility to rein in groups on its payroll from waging war outside state plans, with this announcement today the Iraqi government is essentially telling the militias that they are justified and authorized to do what they have been doing so far.

NEW | Evening Iran Update: US President Donald Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reach a deal with the United States to March 27. In extending the deadline, Trump said that Iran agreed to cease uranium enrichment, relinquish its existing stockpiles, and remain โ€œlow-key on the missiles.โ€ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on March 23 that Trump told him that the United States sees an opportunity to โ€œleverage the military achievements of the warโ€ to secure all strategic objectives through an eventual agreement. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf publicly rejected reports of United States-Iran negotiations on X on March 23. That Ghalibaf is leading diplomatic engagement with the United States is consistent with reports that he has consolidated tremendous influence in Iran, especially since the current war began. The combined force continued to conduct airstrikes targeting Iranian ballistic missile infrastructure to degrade Iranโ€™s missile capabilities. The combined force also struck IRGC Ground Force units at several echelons in central and southern Iran. Two unspecified sources told Israeli media on March 22 that Iran has decided to limit its attacks on Saudi Arabia due to concerns that continued strikes could trigger a direct Saudi military response. ISW-CTP has observed a relative decrease in Iranian attacks targeting Saudi Arabia since March 22, which corroborates this Israeli media report. Hezbollah claimed 55 attacks targeting Israeli forces and positions in northern Israel and southern Lebanon, as well as northern Israeli towns, between 3:00 PM ET on March 22 and 3:00 PM ET on March 23. Most of Hezbollahโ€™s claimed attacks targeted IDF positions and Israeli towns in northern Israel. Hezbollah is primarily relying on rockets but also increasingly using drones in its attacks against Israel.

NEW: The US-Israeli combined force continued to strike naval, military, defense industrial, and internal security sites across Iran on March 22 and 23. ISW-CTP has observed strikes in 14 provinces since 3:00 PM ET on March 22. US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on March 22 that it previously struck and damaged the Qom Turbine Engine Production Plant in Qom Province. The Qom Turbine Engine Production Plant produces gas turbine engines for Iranian drones and aircraft components for the IRGC. The combined force also targeted the IRGC Imam Hossein strategic missile base in Yazd Province, the Artesh Ground Forces 21st Infantry Division headquarters in East Azerbaijan Province, an Iranian naval ammunition depot in Sirjan, Kerman Province, an Intelligence and Security Ministry building in Lorestan Province, and the Artesh Ground Forces 4th Aviation base in Esfahan Province. US President Donald Trump instructed the US Defense Department to postpone โ€œany and allโ€ strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days to allow for dialogue. An Israeli source reported that Israel will also likely suspend its strikes on these targets. Iran continued to attack Israel with ballistic missiles containing cluster munition warheads. Iranian ballistic missiles and cluster bomb sub-munitions impacted across Israel, including in Tel Aviv, Kiryat Gat, and Ashkelon. Ballistic missile fragments also fell near Safed, northern Israel, on March 23. Iran also continued to fire at the Gulf states. Iranian ballistic missiles reportedly struck two data centers near Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. An Iranian missile also impacted an uninhabited area near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Interestingly, a similar flag dispute appears to be emerging in the Iranian Kurdish arena as well as it has been among Syrian Kurds. For example, when the new Iranian Kurdish coalition was announced, no Kurdistan flag was displayed because of a dispute over which flag should represent Iranian Kurds. For instance, among Syrian Kurds, pro-PKK currents reject the idea that the flag of Iraqโ€™s Kurdistan Region should be treated as the national flag of all Kurds. By contrast, pro-KDP currents such as the Syrian Kurdish National Council argue that the Kurdish flag used in Iraqi Kurdistan is the national Kurdish flag. A similar divide now seems to be visible in relation to Iran. In the PKK view, these are regional flags tied to the different parts of Kurdistan. In Iranโ€™s case, pro-PKK groups instead adopt the flag used by Qazi Muhammadโ€™s 1946 Mahabad Republic, also known as the Kurdistan Republic, as the flag of Iranian Kurdistan.

According to a U.S. intelligence report, assembled prior to the anti-government protests in early January, which was shown to President Donald J. Trump a week before the start of the Iran War, Reza Pahlavi, the Exiled Crown Prince of Iran, they concluded lacked a sufficient network inside the country to lead an effective overthrow of the Islamic Republic. โ€œThey never took him that seriously,โ€ Vali Nasr, a Professor at Johns Hopkins, said of the Trump Administration. โ€œThereโ€™s a difference between having an organization on the ground versus just having people who like you. If youโ€™re going to help change a regime, you have to have a ground game.โ€ Trump and his aides began referring to Pahlavi as the โ€œloser prince,โ€ according to The New Yorker.
