**Iran Issues Threats as War Rages On** Iran has threatened to target recreational and tourist sites worldwide, despite ongoing U.S.-Israeli strikes that have killed a slew of Tehran's top leaders and severely impacted its weapons and energy industries. This warning comes nearly three weeks into the conflict, which began on February 28. The threat was made as Iran continued to fire on Israel and energy sites in neighboring Gulf Arab states, coinciding with the celebration of one of the holiest days on the Muslim calendar. Iranians were also marking the Persian New Year, known as Nowruz, a traditionally festive holiday that was more subdued this year due to the ongoing conflict. The country's military capabilities were on display as two waves of Iranian drones attacked a Kuwaiti oil refinery early Friday, sparking a fire at the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, one of the largest in the Middle East, which can process some 730,000 barrels of oil per day. The attacks also targeted Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, with Bahrain's Interior Ministry reporting a fire after shrapnel from an intercepted projectile landed on a warehouse, and Saudi Arabia reporting the shooting down of multiple drones targeting its oil-rich Eastern Province. Iran's military operations have had a significant impact on the global economy, raising food and fuel prices far beyond the Middle East. Iran's leadership has insisted that it is still building missiles, despite the devastating effects of the U.S.-Israeli strikes. The country has shown that it remains capable of launching attacks that are choking off oil supplies and causing widespread economic disruption. However, with little information coming out of Iran, it remains unclear how much damage its arms, nuclear, or energy facilities have sustained since the conflict began. The objectives of the U.S. and Israel in the conflict have been varied, ranging from hoping to foment an uprising that topples Iran's leadership to eliminating its nuclear and missile programs. Despite these objectives, there have been no public signs of any such uprising, and it is unclear what capabilities Iran retains. As a result, the outcome of the war and how it will end remains uncertain.
