Trump on Iran:

They would like to settle; we are not looking to settle.

Trump on Iran:

They cut babies’ heads off.

They chop women in half.

Take a look at October 7.

Trump on Iran:

We got rid of the top leadership, and we got rid of the second level of leadership.

Now they’re on their third or fourth level of leadership, and they have leaders now that nobody even knows.

Trump on Iran:

They suddenly started apologizing to the Middle Eastern states.

You can mark that down as a victory for us and for the Middle Eastern states that are really friends of ours. I guess they’re not going to be shooting at them anymore — they apologized.

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.

Reporter: Do you think the map of Iran looks the same after this is all done?

Trump: That I can’t tell you. Probably not.

Reporter: Even if it’s not helping the Iranians particularly much, the Russians would still be involving themselves in a conflict they are not a part of.

Trump: Wouldn’t they say that we do it against them?

They can give all the information they want, but the people are overwhelmed. We have the greatest military on Earth.

Reporter: Do you want to be involved in the selection of the next leader of Iran?

Trump: Yeah. We don’t have to come back every five or ten years to do this. We want to pick a president that’s not leading them into war.

Saudi Arabia has warned Iran not to attack its territory or energy infrastructure, saying it could retaliate and allow U.S. forces to use Saudi bases if strikes continue.

The warning came during a call between Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Netanyahu: We are not seeking to divide Iran.

Trump: Iran’s map will probably not look the same after this is done.

Last week, an Israeli missile strike on a government compound in Tehran killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and many top military leaders, leaving Iran without key commanders.

However, the attack also killed Iranian officials seen by the U.S. as potential negotiators who might have helped quickly end the conflict, complicating the situation.

Adm. Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, said Iran’s missile launches have dropped about 90 percent since the first day of fighting, and drone launches are down 83 percent.

But Iran still retains a significant arsenal. U.S. officials told Congress in classified briefings that Iran may still have about 50 percent of its missile program intact, along with even more of its drones.

Iranian officials say the government can withstand the attacks and believe the U.S. and Israel will eventually lose their appetite for war.

Their strategy—called Operation Madman—aims to raise the costs of the conflict until Washington and Tel Aviv back down.

Situation in Tehran, Iran.

The U.S. and Israel are bombing Iranian oil depots and infrastructure.

An NYPD officer died Friday in Kuwait after suffering a fatal medical issue while deployed in support of the U.S. offensive on Iran.

Officer Sorffly Davius, assigned to Brooklyn’s 79th Precinct in Bedford-Stuyvesant, was also a major in the Army National Guard. He died at Camp Buehring on March 6.

The U.S. and Israel have discussed sending special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium during a later stage of the war.

Iran reportedly has about 450 kg of uranium enriched to 60%.

Officials say the mission could involve U.S., Israeli, or joint forces, possibly alongside nuclear experts, to either remove the uranium from Iran or dilute it on-site.

Any operation would likely happen only after Iran’s military is weakened enough to prevent serious resistance.

NEW: U.S. officials have discussed the possibility of seizing Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal.

The island handles about 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports, making it a critical economic lifeline for the country.

Israel’s Air Force said it targeted facilities housing Iran’s aging F-14 Tomcat fighters at Isfahan airport.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

If the war continues like this, there'll be neither a way to sell oil nor the capacity to produce it.

They're not only burning America's interests but also the interests of the region's countries and the world at the feet of Netanyahu's delusions.

A loud explosion hit the U.S. Embassy in Oslo early Sunday, causing minor damage but no injuries, Norwegian police said.
