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.

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.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov:

Many Arab monarchies publicly stated that the situation should not be pushed toward a military solution and that they would not allow their airspace to be used.

But when everything began, despite your repeated calls to the United States and Israel, did you condemn the U.S. and Israeli actions? Did you condemn the bombing of 170 schoolgirls?

I have heard that your countries—I believe even Bahrain—are planning to submit a resolution in the UN Security Council with language along the lines you just mentioned. It would condemn Iran's aggression without saying a word about the actions of the United States and Israel.

We call for a united front in favor of ending this war. Simply saying that Iran has no right to respond effectively means that you're encouraging the United States and Israel to continue. It defies logic.

IDF Spokesperson:

We destroyed the headquarters of the IRGC Air Force in Tehran.

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum:

On Friday, there was $100 million of gold that came from Venezuela to the United States.

The people of Venezuela are gonna be putting up a statue of Trump as a great liberator.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

We had a clear plan for this war, and over the past 10 days we have been moving forward according to that plan.

All sectors had instructions, and the war is progressing according to the program.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

The enemy should know that whatever it does, it will receive a corresponding response.

If the enemy starts a war against infrastructure, we will immediately target its infrastructure in return.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

The Iron Dome is no longer an “Iron Dome”; we can strike wherever we decide.

We no longer need to fire with the same volume as during the 12-Day War; we will launch fewer strikes but with greater effectiveness and accuracy.
