🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Asked if the US attacked a desalination plant in Iran, Pres. Trump says Iranians are "among the most evil people ever on earth."

"They cut babies' heads off—they chop women in half..."

"I know nothing about a desalinization plant, other than to say, if they're complaining about a desalinization plant, we complain about the fact they shouldn't be chopping babies' heads off."

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth can be seen nodding in agreement.

📝Netanyahu pysoped Trump into believing Iran is Hamas, even if there is no credible evidence that Hamas decapitated infants during the October 7th attacks.

There is plenty of evidence of thousands of children being blown to smithereens by American and Israeli ordinance though. Everything these people say about Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas is a projection of their own deeds.

🇮🇷⚔️🇧🇭 Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior says an Iranian drone attack caused “material damage” to a desalination plant.

This is a significant and worrying development, as it marks the first time Iran has targeted a desalination facility in a Gulf country during the ongoing war.

GCC countries rely on desalination for more than 85–90% of their drinking water.

Bahrain is still letting the US use its country to target Iran from and the US bombed an Iranian desalinisation plant.

🇪🇺🇯🇵🇹🇼🇰🇷🇺🇦 U.S. allies are watching in disbelief as DOD reroutes weapons to aid the Iran war, worried long-promised American arms will never come.

“The munitions that have been and will be fired are the ones that everybody needs,” said one European official.

Weapons production is a complex process that takes years of planning and runs through a supply chain riddled with bottlenecks. Trump’s reassurances that the U.S. has a “virtually unlimited supply” of munitions to fight Iran has done little to soothe allies’ fears.

“It is very frustrating, the words are not matching the deeds,” said an Eastern European official, who like others interviewed, was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “It is pretty clear to everyone that the U.S. will put their own, Taiwan’s, Israel’s, and hemisphere priorities before Europe.”

Allies in the Pacific — where China has built the world’s largest Navy and now has missiles that can attack American troops on Guam — are worried that the Pentagon will run out of ammunition in Iran and won’t have any left to deter a war in Asia.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 US-Israel Coalition Strikes on Iran Drop Sharply: Combined Daily Volume Down 55-65%

Official data indicate a significant reduction in the daily volume of American and Israeli airstrikes against Iran following the initial days of the operation launched on February 28, 2026.

According to the (ISW) report of March 5, 2026, the campaign entered a second phase following the initial suppression of Iranian air defenses and command. This suppression did not occur fully as planned, as Iran continues to operate air defenses in certain areas and the command structure has been decentralized.

The US was unable to maintain the initial pace. American forces alone recorded 1,250 targets hit in the first 48 hours and 1,700 in the first 72 hours, according to the CENTCOM Fact Sheet.

The CSIS, in an analysis published the same day, estimates that the peak occurred within the first 100 hours, with 2,000 targets struck by American munitions. From March 4 onward, the report already points to a sharp decline in attacks.

Airwars, in its March 6 report, confirms an initial “record pace” of combined US and Israeli strikes exceeding 1,000 targets per day during the first four days, but also observes that this volume was not sustained as the operation progressed.

All these think tanks claim it is natural for the first phase to be more intense. However, I state that if Iran continues launching missiles and drones, and operating air defenses to the point of shooting down two high-value drones just yesterday, this reduction was not due to objectives achieved, but due to planning problems.
It is also possible that it involves aircraft maintenance and low stocks of certain munitions.

On the first day, Israel carried out the largest aerial operation in its history, hitting 500 targets in 24 hours.

By March 5 (day 6 of the operation), it reported 2,500 strikes, showing a drop to 300 attacks per day.

By March 7 (day 8 of the war), Israel’s accumulated total is 3,400 strikes, a daily average of 425, or 15% reduction compared to the start of the operation.

In the case of the US, the estimated percentage reduction, based on official cumulative numbers, is as follows:

Total targets hit by the US until day 8 (March 7): 3,000.

Initial average daily pace (days 1–2): 1,250 strikes.

Average pace from day 3 onward: 300–400 strikes per day.

This represents an estimated 76% drop in the daily volume of U.S. attacks following the initial peak which, when combined with Israel’s data, reflects an overall coalition reduction of 55-65%.

🇺🇸🇰🇼🇮🇷⚡️ — WATCH: U.S. soldiers record an Iranian drone striking a radar installation at the Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait.

🇮🇱🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸✝️ While the war with Iran rages on, Israeli settlers set fire to several houses in the Christian village of Taybeh and the Muslim village, Abu Falah, West Bank.

Two Palestinians were shot dead in these attacks, several others are injured.

5 other Palestinians were shot dead this past week alone in other towns and villages in the West Bank the Times of Israel reports.

The West Bank has been under Israeli martial law for nearly 70 years and these settler raids occur weekly and the IDF rarely punishes the settlers who demolish homes, kill livestock and sometimes injure and kill Palestinians.

🇸🇦🇵🇰 Saudi defense minister, Khalid bin Salman met with Pakistani Army Chief, Asim Munir, to discuss Saudi Arabia and Pakistan's defense pact in the context of Iranian attacks on the Gulf Monarchy.

The two stressed that Iran's actions undermine regional security and stability and expressed hope that the Iranian side "will exercise wisdom and avoid miscalculation" hinting at some form of retaliation from Pakistan if Iran ramps up its attacks on Saudi Arabia following US-Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities and desalinisation plants.

🇦🇪🇮🇱🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — Yediot Ahronot Israeli news outlet claims that the attack on the water desalination plant in Iran was launched by the UAE which would be the first strike the UAE has launched against Iran.

🇺🇸🇮🇱☢️🇮🇷 The U.S. and Israel have discussed sending special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium at a later stage of the war, according to four sources with knowledge of the discussions. — Axios

At a congressional briefing Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked whether Iran's enriched uranium would be secured. "People are going to have to go and get it," he said, without specifying who.

An Israeli defense official said Trump and his team are seriously considering sending special operations units into Iran for specific missions.

A U.S. official said the administration has discussed two options: removing the material from Iran entirely, or bringing in nuclear experts to dilute it on-site.

The mission would likely involve special operators alongside scientists, possibly from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

📝 Patricia Marins: This operation doesn't make the slightest sense unless the US and Israel are really desperate to obtain a quick end to the war.

As for the actual operation, the most likely scenario is, they'll send a force, claim there was "combat" and were unable to enter the underground facilities so they blew them up, withdraw and then sign a ceasefire claiming that the enriched uranium is 300 meters underground and irrecoverable.
