🇮🇷 On March 8, 1979, (Tehran) 100,000 Iranian women staged large-scale protests in Tehran against the introduction of the mandatory hijab.

The protests led to a temporary lifting of the mandatory hijab, but the Islamic regime of Ayatollah Khomeini reinstated the mandatory hijab a year later.

🇺🇸 Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff said on March 7 that Moscow had been told not to provide Iran with intelligence in the wake of airstrikes by American and Israeli forces.

🇮🇷 Trump on Iran: They suddenly started apologizing to the Middle Eastern states.

You can mark that down as a victory for us and for Middle Eastern states that are really friends of ours. I guess they’re not going to be shooting at them anymore. That’s a surrender right there. I call it surrender.

🇺🇸 Trump on Kurds: We don’t want to make the war any more complex than it already is. We don’t want to see the Kurds get hurt or killed.

We’ve had a good relationship with them. They’re willing to go in, but I’ve told them I don’t want them to go in.

🎙️Did US bomb a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran on the first day of the war and kill 175 people.

🇺🇸 Trump: Based on what I’ve seen that was done by Iran.

🇺🇸 Hegseth: The only side that targets civilians is Iran.

🇺🇸 Trump: We think it was done by Iran... they are very inaccurate munitions.

Ukrainians have been fighting against “shahed” drones for years now, and everyone recognizes that no other country in the world has this kind of experience. We are ready to help, and we expect that our people will also receive the support they need.

🇸🇦🇺🇦 Zelensky: I spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. We discussed the security situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region – the existing challenges and countering threats from the Iranian regime.

🇫🇮🇺🇦🇮🇷 Finnish President Stubb said that the conflict in the Middle East could weaken cooperation between Russia and Iran in the military sphere.

The fighting complicates joint projects in missiles and the defense industry.

The risk remains rise in oil prices, which could increase Russia's revenues.

❗️Trump: We’ve cracked down on drugs coming in through the water—drug trafficking by sea is down 96%.

We’re trying to find out who the other four percent are, because I think they must be the bravest people in the world… or maybe they just don’t watch television.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran:

Their communications and telecommunications are gone. I don’t know how they communicate now, but I guess they’ll figure something out.

I’ll be meeting the families of the heroes who are coming home from Iran—coming home in a different way than they thought they would.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge found that former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's November decision to end TPS likely violated due process and the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law.

🇺🇸❌ A US appeals court has blocked the Trump administration from ending protections for 350,000 Haitians, - Reuters.

🇺🇸🇶🇦🇧🇭 The destruction of two U.S. missile-defense radars, AN/FPS-132 in Qatar and AN/TPS-59 in Bahrain, could take years to replace, - Foreign Policy

🇺🇸🇮🇷 John Bolton: There isn’t going to be an unconditional surrender from this regime. They’re just not going to do it.

It isn’t going to happen anyway, so I don’t think there’s much point in trying to define what he meant.

🛳️🇺🇸✈️ The U.S. is preparing to send a third aircraft carrier (USS George H.W. Bush) to the Middle East, - Fox News

Two carriers are already there: USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford. This would put three nuclear supercarriers in the region at once.

🎙️🇮🇷 The UK could attack Iranian missile sites from our bases?

🇬🇧 UK's Deputy PM David Lammy: In response to being attacked, yes, we can take down sites that are anticipating attacking our people across the region. It is my understanding that that would be legal.

It could be that if Europe is more active in assisting the 🇺🇸US in operations against Iran, Putin could pressure Lukashenko to carry out provocations along his border, thus stretching NATO's forces and resources.

What do you think? 🤔

🇪🇺🇮🇷 Iran is ready to attack EU countries if they join the war in the Middle East.

European media said that 🇧🇾Belarus may stage a provocation against 🇵🇱Poland.

Therefore, movement of military equipment was recorded and restrictions on flights along the borders of Poland and Belarus were introduced.

It clearly is not making any difference with respect to the military operations in Iran because we are completely decimating them.

The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can “never again” possess a nuclear weapon.

🇺🇸🤔 Karoline Leavitt on reports that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to help it target US assets in the region:

Whether or not this happened, frankly, it does not really matter.

President Trump and the United States military are absolutely decimating the rogue Iranian terrorist regime.

🇺🇦 Sybiha: I have already briefed President Zelenskyy that we were able to secure the release of seven Ukrainian nationals who were held in Budapest.

They are already safe and they have crossed the Ukrainian border. Our consuls have provided necessary assistance.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the events in Iran do not constitute a war.

According to him, the Department of War has clearly defined what is happening as a limited operation in scope and duration. The operation has a clear objective.

I'm very angry about this war. I'm mindful that you have a President who still is incapable of giving us the rationale of why — why now, what's the endgame?

We have allies shooting down our planes. We have six Americans, including a young man from Sacramento, California, who just died.

🇺🇸 Gavin Newsom: Trump's Presidency, as we know it today, is over in a matter of months when Speaker Jeffries gets the gavel. Don't talk about 2028. It's not about 2028. It's about 2026.

What I can't accept today though is what Netanyahu is doing in Israel. I don't like the direction he's going.

🛢️🇶🇦 Oil could rise to $150 if more countries halt oil exports, says Qatar's Energy Minister.
