The Iranian Red Crescent Society has stated that Iran has moved the International Criminal Court (ICC) over "unprovoked war of aggression" by US-Israel, reporting massive civilian infrastructure damage, reported the ANI. Iran has submitted 16 formal letters to the International Criminal Court and other global institutions in connection with the matter. According to state media Press TV, the letters call for condemnation of what Tehran describes as an unprovoked military offensive by the United States and Israel. Razieh Alishvandi, Deputy Head of the IRCS for International and Human Rights Affairs, said Iran is actively urging international organisations to take legal steps in response to the attacks, according to the ANI. She added that the IRCS is in regular contact with both the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross. So far, five joint statements have been issued highlighting alleged violations of humanitarian law. Human rights violations The statements reportedly document incidents such as attacks on medical facilities, civilians, ambulances, and the naval vessel IRIS Dena, as per the ANI. Iranian officials have described these incidents as serious breaches of international humanitarian standards. The current escalation is said to have begun on February 28, marking a renewed phase of tensions. This follows earlier incidents roughly eight months prior, which Tehran also described as unprovoked. In response, Iran has reportedly carried out retaliatory strikes using missiles and drones targeting locations linked to Israel and US military assets in the region. Extent of damage reported According to the ANI, IRCS Head Pir-Hossein Kolivand stated that over 81,000 civilian sites have been affected. These include homes, commercial establishments, schools, medical centres, and emergency facilities. He described the scale of destruction as a violation of the Geneva Conventions. In Tehran alone, thousands of residential and commercial units, along with healthcare centres, schools, and Red Crescent facilities, have reportedly been damaged, as per the ANI. Humanitarian concerns raised Kolivand stressed that attacks on such facilities go beyond physical damage, affecting essential services that support human life. Iranian authorities say they are continuing to document these incidents as part of a broader legal effort to hold those responsible accountable at the international level, the news agency reported.

23 March,2026 04:13 PM IST | Tehran | mid-day online correspondentTwo pilots were killed in a serious accident at LaGuardia Airport in New York late on Sunday night when an Air Canada regional jet collided with a firetruck on the runway shortly after landing. The crash caused heavy damage to the aircraft and led to the death of both pilots, while several others were reportedly injured. How did the Collision take place? The aircraft, a Bombardier CRJ-900 operated by Air Canada Express, had arrived from Montreal. It struck a rescue and firefighting vehicle that was responding to a separate emergency on the runway around 11:45 pm. Photos and videos from the scene showed the front of the plane badly crushed, with debris hanging from the cockpit. The firetruck was also severely damaged and was seen overturned near the aircraft. However preliminary information suggests that air traffic control may have warned both the aircraft crew and the ground vehicle moments before the collision. Audio recordings circulating online indicate repeated instructions to stop, but the crash could not be avoided. Officials have not yet confirmed these details, and investigations are ongoing as per IANS reports. Casualties and injuries According to reports, the pilot and co-pilot were killed in the crash. There were 72 passengers and four crew members on board the flight. While all passengers were evacuated using emergency stairways, reports suggest that several people sustained injuries. Unconfirmed reports also indicated that at least five firefighters were seriously injured in the incident, as reported by IANS. Airport operations suspended Following the collision, operations at LaGuardia Airport were suspended. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop, halting all incoming and outgoing flights to allow emergency teams to manage the situation. Authorities said the airport could remain closed for an extended period, though no exact timeline was confirmed as per IANS reports. Investigation underway The National Transportation Safety Board has launched an investigation into the incident. Authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the crash and whether there were communication or operational failures. Air Canada Express also confirmed the accident and said that passenger and crew details are still being verified. Emergency teams, including Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting units, were quickly deployed at the scene. The focus remains on assisting the injured, clearing the runway, and ensuring safety before operations can resume. This incident has raised serious concerns about runway safety and coordination between aircraft and ground vehicles at busy airports. (With IANS and AP Inputs)
23 March,2026 03:00 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAmid rising tensions in the Middle East, Iran has begun charging a hefty transit fee of USD 2 million (approximately Rs 18.8 crore) on certain vessels passing through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The move is being seen as a strong assertion of control over one of the world’s most crucial oil shipping routes during its ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. New policy signals assertion of control Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on social media that the Strait of Hormuz remains “open to everyone,” but clarified that access may not be extended to Iran’s adversaries. This reflects Tehran’s evolving stance on controlling maritime movement in the region. The illusion of erasing Iran from the map shows desperation against the will of a history-making nation. Threats and terror only strengthen our unity. The Strait of Hormuz is open to all except those who violate our soil. We firmly confront delirious threats on the battlefield. — Masoud Pezeshkian (@drpezeshkian) March 22, 2026 Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi confirmed that the new transit fee policy has already been implemented. Speaking to state broadcaster IRIB, he described the move as part of a new “sovereign regime” governing the strait. According to him, collecting such fees demonstrates Iran’s strength and authority, especially during wartime. War costs and strategic messaging Officials have justified the decision by pointing to the financial burden of the ongoing conflict. Boroujerdi said that war comes with costs, and charging transit fees is a natural step to offset expenses. The policy is also being interpreted as a message to global powers about Iran’s control over the vital waterway as per IANS reports. Despite the new charges, Iran has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz is not closed and that navigation continues. The Foreign Ministry stated that necessary precautions are being taken due to wartime conditions, but freedom of navigation and maritime safety remain priorities. Rising tensions in the region The situation in the Gulf has become increasingly volatile following recent military actions involving the United States and Israel. Iran has accused both countries of aggression and stated that it has targeted US military bases in response, invoking its right to self-defence. The Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of the world’s oil supply passes, is now at the center of geopolitical tensions. Any disruption or restriction in this route can have major implications for global energy markets and shipping. The situation escalated further after Donald Trump issued a strong warning. He said the United States could strike Iran’s power infrastructure if the strait is not fully reopened within 48 hours. Trump even warned of targeting major power plants, increasing fears of further escalation. Global implications Experts believe that Iran’s decision to impose transit fees could impact global trade and oil prices as per IANS. Shipping companies may face higher costs, which could eventually be passed on to consumers. At the same time, the move highlights the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz and the risks associated with geopolitical conflicts in the region. As tensions continue to rise, the international community is closely watching developments, as any further escalation could disrupt global energy supplies and economic stability. (With IANS Inputs)

23 March,2026 12:09 PM IST | New Delhi | ANIPakistan decided on Sunday that it would increase the fare of high-octane fuel per litre by Pakistani Rupees (PKR) 200 from PKR 100 to PKR 300, as per ARY News. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved the significant increase in the levy on high-octane fuel used by luxury vehicles. The decision was taken during a high-level meeting chaired by Sharif, where he reviewed matters related to fuel pricing and economic relief. The increase in high-octane fuel prices will not impact public transport fares and air travel costs, ARY News reported. The meeting was attended by Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazir Tarar, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar, and Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik, along with other senior government officials. Earlier on March 6, the federal government had raised petrol and diesel prices by PKR 55 per litre as surging global oil prices, fuelled by the US-Israel war with Iran, put pressure on domestic energy costs, ARY News reported. The announcement was made by Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik in a press conference alongside DPM Ishaq Dar and Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb. The new price of petrol will be PKR 321.17 per litre from PKR 266.17; whereas, the diesel rate will be PKR 335.86 per litre from PKR 280.86 after the review, as per ARY News. Meanwhile, Pakistani airlines on March 10 increased fares following an uptick in jet fuel prices, ARY News reported, citing airline sources. According to these sources, domestic ticket prices have risen by PKR 2,800 to PKR 5,000. This increase applies to flights from Karachi to Lahore, Islamabad, and other domestic stations, as reported by ARY News. International travel has seen an even more significant jump, with fares increasing by a staggering PKR 10,000 to PKR 28,000. Specifically, fares for flights to Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries have risen by PKR 15,000. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

23 March,2026 12:03 PM IST | Islamabad | ANIThe United States and Iran threatened to target critical infrastructure Sunday as the war in the Middle East, now in its fourth week, puts lives and livelihoods at risk throughout the region. Iran said the Strait of Hormuz, crucial to oil and other exports, would be "completely closed" immediately if the US follows up on President Donald Trump's threat to attack its power plants. Trump late Saturday set a 48-hour deadline to open the strait. Israeli leaders visited one of two southern communities near a secretive nuclear research site struck by Iranian missiles late Saturday, with scores of people wounded. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a "miracle" no one was killed. Netanyahu claimed Israel and the US were well on their way to achieving their war goals. The aims have ranged from weakening Iran's nuclear programme, missile programme and support for armed proxies to enabling the Iranian people to overthrow the theocracy. There has been no sign of an uprising, nor of an end to the fighting that has shaken the global economy, sent oil prices surging and endangered some of the world's busiest air corridors. The war, which the US and Israel launched February 28, has killed over 2,000 people. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah claimed responsibility for an airstrike that killed a man in northern Israel, while Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called Israel's new targeting of bridges in the south "a prelude to a ground invasion." "More weeks of fighting against Iran and Hezbollah are expected for us," said Israeli military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin. Meanwhile, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates said early Monday their air defenses were dealing with missile and drone attacks as air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain. Energy and desalination plants are threatened Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz that connects the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world, while claiming safe passage for vessels from countries other than its enemies. Roughly one-fifth of global oil supply passes through it, but attacks on ships have stopped nearly all tanker traffic. Trump said if Iran didn't open the strait, the US would destroy its "various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" The US has argued that Iran's Revolutionary Guard controls much of the country's infrastructure and uses it to power the war effort. Under international law, power plants that benefit civilians can be targeted only if the military advantage outweighs the suffering it causes them, legal scholars say. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf responded on X that if Iran's power plants and infrastructure are targeted, then vital infrastructure across the region -- including energy and desalination facilities critical for drinking water in Gulf nations -- would be considered legitimate targets and "irreversibly destroyed." Qalibaf later added that "entities that finance the US military budget are legitimate targets." Attacks on power plants would be "inherently indiscriminate and clearly disproportionate" and a war crime, Iran's UN ambassador wrote to the Security Council, according to the state-run IRNA news agency. Strikes in Israel and Iran bring new nuclear concerns Iran said its strikes in the Negev Desert late Saturday were in retaliation for the latest attack on Iran's main nuclear enrichment site in Natanz, according to state-run media. Tehran praised its attack as a show of strength, even as Israel's military asserts that Iranian missile launches have decreased since the war began. Southern Israel's main hospital received at least 175 wounded from Arad and Dimona, deputy director Roy Kessous told The Associated Press. Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, though it doesn't confirm or deny their existence. Israel denied responsibility for hitting Natanz on Saturday. The Pentagon declined to comment on the strike. The International Atomic Energy Agency has said the bulk of Iran's estimated 441 kg of enriched uranium -- the issue at the heart of tensions -- is elsewhere, beneath the rubble at its Isfahan facility. Fighting intensifies in southern Lebanon An Israeli civilian was killed in his car in the northern town of Misgav Am in what Israel's military originally said appeared to be a rocket attack. It later was looking into the possibility that the death was caused by Israeli soldiers' fire. Israeli authorities identified him as 61-year-old farmer Ofer "Poshko" Moskovitz. Two days ago, he told a radio station that living near the Lebanese border was like "Russian roulette." Hezbollah launched strikes on Israel soon after the war began, calling it retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israel then targeted Hezbollah with airstrikes and expanded its ground presence in southern Lebanon. Israel on Sunday expanded its target list to include bridges over the Litani River that Defense Minister Israel Katz said Hezbollah is using to move fighters and weapons to the south. Israel later struck the Qasmiyeh bridge near Tyre, giving an hour's warning. Destroying bridges further isolates residents from the rest of Lebanon. Katz also ordered the military to accelerate destruction of Lebanese homes near the border. Lebanese authorities say Israel's strikes have killed more than 1,000 people and displaced more than 1 million. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has fired hundreds of rockets into Israel. Iran's death toll in the war has surpassed 1,500, its health ministry has said. In Israel, 15 people have been killed by Iranian strikes. More than a dozen civilians in the occupied West Bank and Gulf Arab states have been killed in strikes. A Qatari military helicopter crash on Saturday, blamed on a technical malfunction, killed all seven aboard, Qatari authorities said.

23 March,2026 11:55 AM IST | Arad | APAt least 10 Palestinians were injured in attacks in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers, who rampaged through nearby villages after holding a funeral for a settler killed in a car crash a night earlier. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the wounded in Deir al-Hatab included a 45-year-old man shot in the foot and a woman suffering from smoke inhalation. Videos obtained by The Associated Press show cars and homes set ablaze as army flares lit up the sky near the village east of Nablus and next to the Israeli settlement of Elon Moreh. The arson and assaults in four Nablus-area villages on Sunday came a day after the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported simultaneous attacks in at least six communities overnight the latest spates of violence in the occupied West Bank. Sunday night's rampage came after mourners in the settlement of Elon Moreh held a funeral for Yehuda Sherman, an 18-year-old Israeli settler. Authorities said he was killed in a collision with a Palestinian vehicle in an area north of the villages attacked. Police said they were investigating the settlers' claims that the collision was deliberate. Israel's military did not respond to questions about Sunday night's attacks. The violence came as Israel's government presses ahead with new settlements in the occupied West Bank and attacks by settlers -- including arsons, shootings and beatings have intensified as attention shifts to the Iran war. Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the Israeli military's chief of general staff last week condemned such attacks and said it was especially unacceptable during wartime for the military "to confront a threatening minority from within." WAFA reported Saturday night's attacks in the villages of Silat al Dahr and Fandaqumiya, both near Jenin; in Jalud and Salfit, both south of Nablus; and in the agricultural regions Masafer Yatta and the Jordan Valley. Homes and cars were set ablaze, Palestinians were pepper-sprayed and at least five people were wounded in the overnight assaults, which took place during the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of Ramadan, the agency said. Israel's military said it responded to Israeli civilians carrying out "arson against structures and property, as well as engaging in disturbances in the area" on Saturday night, but did not report any arrests or indicate whether investigations were opened. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported 25 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers this year as of March 15. Also on Sunday, four Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, hospital authorities said. One strike hit a vehicle in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and killed three police officers, according to the Awda Hospital, which received the casualties. Ten others were wounded, it said. Another Palestinian was killed in Gaza City, according to Shifa Hospital. The deaths were the latest fatalities among Palestinians in the coastal enclave since an October ceasefire deal attempted to halt a more than 2-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. While the heaviest fighting has subsided, the ceasefire has still seen almost daily Israeli fire. Israeli forces have carried out repeated airstrikes and frequently fire on Palestinians near military-held zones, killing more than 670 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on Sunday's strikes but has previously said Israel will respond to violations of the ceasefire threats to its soldiers.
