Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Spain's responsible conduct in opposing the Zionist-American coalition's flagrant human rights violations and military aggression against countries, including Iran, shows that ethics and awakened consciences still exist in the West.

I commend Spanish officials for their stances.

NEW: Cuba suffered a mass blackout affecting much of the island, including Havana, as the national grid struggled with a huge power deficit, fuel shortages, and failing power plants.

The outage hit large parts of western and central Cuba, with officials warning that rolling blackouts of up to 12–20 hours a day could continue amid the country’s deepening energy crisis.

BREAKING: White House on Spain:

I think they heard Trump’s message yesterday loud and clear.

They have agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military.

The U.S. military is coordinating with their counterparts in Spain.

WATCH: The U.S. and Israel continue to hit Tehran relentlessly with heavy airstrikes tonight.

White House on Iran:

Ultimately, the energy industry will benefit from Trump’s actions with respect to Iran, because Iran will no longer be controlling the Strait of Hormuz and restricting the free flow of energy.

White House on Iran:

The United States of America has more than enough capability to not only successfully execute Operation Epic Fury, but to go much further.

We have weapon stockpiles in places that many people in the world don’t even know about.

White House:

Unfortunately, we had a very stupid and incompetent leader in this White House for four years who gave away many of our best weapons for free to another country very far away by the name of Ukraine.

Trump was pointing out that was an unwise decision.

Reporter: Did the United States airstrike a girls' elementary school and kill 175 people?

White House: Not that we know of... The United States of America does not target civilians, unlike the rogue Iranian regime that kills children.

Iran uses propaganda quite effectively, and unfortunately many people in this room have fallen for that propaganda.

White House:

Trump did speak to Kurdish leaders with respect to our base in northern Iraq.

But as for any report suggesting that Trump has agreed to arm any group, that is completely false.

BREAKING: Spain’s government denies White House claims that it will “cooperate militarily” with the United States, according to sources cited by El País.

Macron spoke with Netanyahu and Lebanon’s leaders about the situation in Lebanon on Wednesday.

NOW: Hezbollah Secretary-General:

Our patience has limits, and Israeli aggression and escalation have become excessive.

We have repeatedly said that Israel seeks expansion, and Netanyahu has declared that he wants a “Greater Israel.”

Israel represents an existential threat to us, to our people, to our country, and to the entire region.

The problem is not Hezbollah’s weapons, but the occupation and the ongoing violation of sovereignty.

White House on Iran:

Trump had a feeling, again based on fact, that Iran was going to strike the U.S.

BREAKING: Kurdish forces from Iraq launched a ground offensive into Iran.

Thousands of Kurdish fighters moved into Iranian territory and took combat positions on Monday, March 2.
