Why did the Pentagon issue a warning to the Iranian people to stay home?

The Pentagon warned Iranian people to stay home because the US believes the Iranian regime is operating from heavily populated civilian areas. This puts innocent lives at grave risk as the US is likely to strike back against the IRGC's placement of mobile missile launchers and drones amidst crowds.

What is the current status of US service members after the initial strikes?

Sergeant Benjamin N Pennington died on March 8th from injuries sustained on March 1st, becoming the seventh service member to die in Operation Epic Fury. Additionally, eight other US service members are currently fighting for their lives in US military hospitals.

Is Russia providing assistance to Iran, and how does the US view this cooperation?

Reports suggest Russia is providing targeting intelligence to Iran, and Iran confirmed a strategic partnership and military cooperation with Russia. The US Secretary Hegseth stated that while they mitigate such factors, they are not concerned about Russia putting US personnel in danger, as their focus is on putting 'the other guys in danger'.
