White House:

Our nation was a nation founded 250 years ago on Judeo-Christian values.

Reporter: Who is paying for the cost of this war? Will those Arab countries step up to do it?

White House: I think it's something Trump would be quite interested in calling them to do.

Israel’s parliament passed a law making the death penalty the default sentence for Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks in military courts.

The bill, backed by Netanyahu and promoted by Itamar Ben-Gvir, allows execution within 90 days, though judges can instead impose life imprisonment.

The move has sparked strong criticism from international allies and human rights groups, who say it is discriminatory and undermines democracy.

Thousands of U.S. troops, including elite paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, are arriving in the Middle East as Trump considers how to proceed in the war with Iran.

They join about 2,500 Marines sent over the weekend, expanding U.S. military presence in the region.

Marco Rubio on NATO:

If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, that’s not a very good arrangement.

Marco Rubio:

It’s disappointing to see that, in a time of need for the United States, we have countries like Spain—a NATO member that we are pledged to defend—denying us the use of their airspace and bragging about it.

Iran is urging Yemen’s Houthi group to prepare for possible attacks on Red Sea shipping if the US escalates its conflict with Tehran.

For now, US and Saudi officials believe the group is holding back.

However, the longer the conflict continues, the more likely the Houthis are to target key shipping routes.

Marco Rubio on Cuba:

The blackouts in Cuba have nothing to do with us.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

Iran respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation.

Our operations are aimed at enemy aggressors who have no respect for Arabs or Iranians, nor can provide any security. Just look at what we did to their aerial command.

High time to eject U.S. forces.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

They need to stop building weapons that can threaten their neighbors.

Marco Rubio on NATO:

If we decided tomorrow that we were going to remove our troops from Europe, that would be the end of NATO.

Israel says it has nearly completed strikes on Iran’s key military and weapons sites.

Leaders have now ordered the military to shift focus toward damaging Iran’s economy.

Israel will now target economic assets—such as gas infrastructure and steel plants—to increase pressure on the regime.

White House on Iran:

Some of the previous leaders are now no longer on Earth because they lied to the United States, and they strung us along in negotiations, and that was unacceptable to Trump, which is why many of the previous leaders were killed.

Iran has fired nearly 1,200 ballistic missiles and 4,000 drones at Gulf targets since Feb. 28, forcing Gulf states and the US to use at least 2,400 Patriot interceptors, close to their prewar stockpiles.

The US is also rapidly expending high-end munitions like Tomahawks and JASSMs, weapons critical for deterring China.

Production can’t quickly replace what’s being used.

Allies are growing uneasy as US weapons are diverted to the Middle East, potentially affecting support for Ukraine and weakening broader military readiness.

Zelensky to Netanyahu:

We have what he needs. He has what we need.

WATCH: An Iranian monarchist guy thanks Israelis for bombing Iran, saying it’s a “rescue mission” against the regime.

Israeli girls are confused like:

“Wait… we’re saving you? We’re killing people, bro.”

He insists:

“You’re bombing the government, not the Iranian people. You are trying not to kill our citizens, but sometimes it happens.”

Trump posts a 1987 interview clip where he argues that the United States should take control of Iran’s oil infrastructure.
