Israeli military: Air force struck Iranian Revolutionary Guard Air Force Command Centre in Beirut's Dahiyeh today

The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Command Center in Beirut’s Dahiyeh suburb on March 6, 2026, as part of expanded military operations targeting Hezbollah and Iranian infrastructure in Lebanon according to reports. The attack followed a Hezbollah rocket strike that injured eight Israeli soldiers, five critically, near the Lebanon border as reported. Concurrently, Israeli forces reported dismantling six Iranian missile launchers in Tehran during earlier strikes, while Lebanese authorities confirmed over 80,000 displaced residents due to cross-border hostilities according to data.

The conflict has exacerbated regional economic instability, with oil prices surging above $90 per barrel—the first time since October 2023—amid fears of disrupted energy supplies and escalating military campaigns according to analysis. The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned of potential bidding wars for liquefied natural gas (LNG) if Iranian exports to Asia remain halted, further straining global markets as stated. Additionally, Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported 217 fatalities and 798 injuries from Israeli strikes, compounding humanitarian and economic strain as displacement numbers rise according to reports.

The U.S. military reiterated its support for Israel, with President Donald Trump dismissing diplomatic solutions short of Iran’s “unconditional surrender” as reported. Meanwhile, the UN expressed concern over Israel’s evacuation orders in Lebanon, citing risks of forced displacement under international law according to statements. As hostilities persist, investors are monitoring geopolitical risks to energy markets, regional trade, and reconstruction costs for war-affected economies.
