Senator Graham:

Just wait and see what happens in the next two weeks — truly, the next two weeks.

We’re going to blow the hell out of these people. This regime is on death row.

Now it’s going to be on its knees. It’s going to fall.

We’re going to have prosperity unlike anything anyone could imagine.

NEW: Iran is expanding its target list, moving beyond military sites to include U.S. economic assets and strategic interests across the region, according to a source cited by Fars News.

The source said Iran’s “target bank has been fundamentally updated” to include key American and Israeli investments and vital interests in the region.

NEW: Saudi Civil Defense says a military projectile struck the city of Al-Kharj, south of Riyadh, hitting both a sanitation facility and a nearby residential area.

Officials report one person killed (an Indian national) and 12 Bangladeshi workers injured in the incident.

Bernie Sanders on Trump:

This is a guy who ran on “I am the peace candidate.” Remember?

“I am against endless wars.” We put up on our social media a quote of his — I think it was in 2020 — when he said: “How crazy is it that we're spending trillions of dollars on the Middle East and yet our own infrastructure — we don't have money to deal with our own infrastructure.” That's what Trump said.

Well, he was right then, and now he's continuing that process.

Bernie Sanders on Trump:

For the first time in modern American history we have a President who does not believe in the Constitution.

And the Constitution is pretty clear that it is the Congress of the United States that decides when we want to go to war.

This wasn't suddenly an emergency response, right? Iran did not attack us and the President had to act immediately. This was premeditated. They've been thinking about this for weeks.

So once again, the President of the United States is acting against the Constitution — which he does quite frequently on domestic issues — and against the rule of law.

Bernie Sanders on Trump:

What Trump is basically giving a green light to — he's saying essentially to Putin, “Hey Vladimir, you did the right thing. You invaded Ukraine. That was pretty good. We're going to do the same thing.”

How are you going to criticize Putin's invasion of Ukraine if you wage a unilateral attack?

Bernie Sanders on Trump:

Netanyahu is a right-wing extremist who committed horrible crimes, what I think are genocidal crimes against the people of Gaza.

And now for years, for decades, Netanyahu has begged American presidents — Democrats and Republicans — to join him in trying to destabilize Iran.

He finally had in Trump a willing dupe. And Trump is now doing Netanyahu's work in Iran.

Bernie Sanders on AI:

I was in California a couple of weeks ago talking to some very intelligent guys who had actually quit some of the big AI companies, and they're worried about the existential threat that as AI becomes smarter than human beings, they may act independently of human beings. What the hell does that mean? This is not science fiction anymore.

Do you think anyone is seriously discussing this issue in Washington? The answer is no.

Iran’s Army says 104 sailors were killed and 32 injured after the destroyer Dena was attacked by U.S. submarine.

The ship — carrying 136 crew members — was returning from the MILAN-2026 naval exercise on March 3 when it was struck.

20 of the dead are still missing, while the wounded are receiving treatment in Sri Lanka.

Saudi Arabia releases video showing its air defense shooting down Iranian drones.

The U.S. is considering a special forces operation to seize Iran’s highly enriched uranium.

About 441 kg of near-weapons-grade uranium — enough for roughly 11 nuclear bombs — may have been moved and hasn’t been verified by inspectors for months.

If its location is confirmed, U.S. or Israeli ground forces could attempt to capture or neutralize it.

Some of Trump’s top aides — including JD Vance and Marco Rubio — were initially cautious about going to war with Iran.

But once it became clear Trump intended to strike, they shifted to supporting the decision and focused on carrying it out quickly.

Many pro-war voices came from outside the White House, while insiders raised early concerns about risks and political consequences.

Despite that, senior officials ultimately offered little resistance and aligned behind Trump’s plan.

BREAKING: New footage shows a U.S. Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC site in Minab, Iran, on Feb. 28—confirming the U.S. strike.

Smoke is already rising near the girls’ school where about 175 people, many children, were killed.

This footage directly contradicts Trump’s claim that Iran hit the school in Minab.

A video released by Mehr News and geolocated by Bellingcat shows the missile striking a building near the school.

The image compares the Tomahawk that hit the site with Tomahawk missiles seen flying over Tehran earlier in the conflict.

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir:

The campaign will continue for a long time. This is the war of our generation, and it is critical and decisive.

It will determine our future and our security here for many years to come.

French President Macron on Iran:

I spoke with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian.

I emphasized the need for Iran to immediately cease its strikes against countries in the region.

Iran must also guarantee freedom of navigation by putting an end to the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Finally, I reiterated our deep concern regarding the development of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic programs and the full range of its destabilizing activities in the region, which are at the origin of the current crisis.

A diplomatic solution is more necessary than ever to address these crucial challenges, put an end to the escalation, and preserve peace.

We agreed to remain in contact.

House Intelligence Chair Rick Crawford:

We have been at war with Iran since 1947.
