DRIVING THE DAY
SUMMARY: Iran on 10-11 March unleashed wave 37 of Operation True Promise 4 -- described by state media as the heaviest wave of the war -- using precision-guided missiles carrying warheads exceeding one tonne against Israeli and U.S. targets across the region. IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral TANGSIRI challenged the U.S. to approach the Strait of Hormuz if it doubts Tehran's blockade, while multiple commercial vessels came under attack in the strait on 11 March with at least one set ablaze and crews evacuated. Iran's armed forces spokesman SHEKARCHI vowed retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes on residential areas and urged regional states to reveal American and Israeli hiding places to maximize precision while minimizing civilian harm. Foreign Minister ARAGHCHI assessed that aggressors have failed to achieve their goals and are now aimless after ten days of operations, while the Intelligence Ministry announced the arrest of 30 spies and operatives belonging to U.S. and Israeli services. North Korea became the latest state to congratulate Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei on his selection as supreme leader, while speculation mounted over his whereabouts after reports emerged -- denied by Tehran -- that he sustained light injuries in recent strikes. END SUMMARY.
