CLAIM: Kuwaiti outlet Al-Jarida reports that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was secretly taken to Moscow for surgery after being seriously injured.

According to an Iranian source, he was transferred on a Russian military aircraft on March 12 after Putin proposed treatment.

The surgery was reportedly successful, and he is now recovering at a hospital inside the presidential compound in Moscow.

Iranian intelligence allegedly chose Russia because hospitals in Iran could become targets amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes.

WATCH: German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius:

We did not start this war.

What does the world expect, what does Donald Trump expect from a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to achieve there in the Strait of Hormuz, which the powerful American Navy cannot manage alone?

It is not our war; we did not start it.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain will not be drawn into a wider war in the Middle East, while announcing financial support for households struggling with rising heating oil costs amid the Iran conflict.

Professor John Mearsheimer:

Israel has become an albatross around America’s neck.

A great power should not allow a minor power to shape its grand strategy.

It just goes to show you how enormously powerful the lobby is.

When you look at this conflict, it is seriously eroding our capability to contain China in East Asia. We’re pulling THAADs and Patriots out of South Korea and Japan. This is truly remarkable.

We have been shortchanging East Asia.

We have been shortchanging our containment policy in East Asia for quite a while now because of Israel, and the situation is now only getting worse.

NEW: Trump says he'll hold a news conference today.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel:

Germany is facing an economic disaster. The numbers are getting worse and worse.

We cannot see any course correction. Things are simply continuing as they did under the Merkel era and under the traffic-light government.

The same policies are just being pushed forward, and the dramatic collapse in approval ratings for the black-red coalition shows that this government—Klingbeil and Merz—no longer has any real support.

It can be expected that it will come to an end even faster than the previous traffic-light coalition.

Trump to PBS:

I left a lot of infrastructure in Tehran because if you did it, it's years of building...

I could knock out the electric plants in one hour... but if I do that, that's years of rebuilding and it's trauma. So I'm trying to hold off on that kind of thing.

Trump to PBS:

The oil prices will drop like a rock as soon as it's over.

Israel has planned at least three more weeks of airstrikes on Iran, targeting missile sites, nuclear facilities, and security infrastructure.

Republican donors are quietly discussing a potential “Draft Rubio” movement for the 2028 presidential election as Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s influence rises in Trump’s second administration.

His high profile—especially during the Iran conflict—has boosted his standing with some GOP allies and even with Trump, who has praised Rubio publicly and privately.

The likely frontrunner for 2028 remains Vice President JD Vance, but some Republicans are beginning to question whether his nomination is inevitable.

U.S. oil executives warned the Trump administration that the energy crisis caused by the Iran conflict could worsen, mainly because disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz threaten global oil supply.

Prices have already risen to about $99 per barrel and could climb higher if markets tighten.

Executives fear prolonged high prices could damage the global economy, even if oil companies benefit in the short term.

Iran's Larijani in a message to Muslims:

To the Muslims around the world and to the governments of Islamic countries:

1- Iran was subjected to a deceptive American–Zionist aggression that occurred during negotiations, with the aim of dismantling Iran. This aggression led to the martyrdom of a great leader of the Islamic Revolution and many civilians and military commanders. However, the aggressors faced strong national and Islamic resistance from the Iranian people.

2- You know that, except in rare cases and limited political positions, no Islamic state stood alongside the Iranian people. Nevertheless, the Iranian people, through their strong will, were able to suppress the aggressor until it has now become unable to find a way out of this strategic impasse.

3- Iran is continuing on the path of resistance against the “greater Satan” and the “lesser Satan,” meaning America and Israel. But is the position of some Islamic governments not contradictory to the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him): “Whoever hears a man calling ‘O Muslims’ and does not respond to him is not a Muslim”? What kind of Islam is this?

4- Some countries have gone even further and declared Iran an enemy because it targeted American bases and American and Israeli interests on their territory. Should Iran stand idle while American bases in your countries are used to attack it? This is only a flimsy pretext. Today the confrontation is between America and Israel on one side and Iran and the forces of resistance on the other. So which side do you stand on?

5- Think about the future of the Islamic world. You know that America is not loyal to you and that Israel is your enemy. Pause for a moment and reflect on yourselves and on the future of the region. Iran is sincere toward you and does not seek domination over you.

6- The unity of the Islamic Ummah, if achieved with full strength, is capable of guaranteeing security, progress, and independence for all its countries.
