Iran attacks data centers in the Persian Gulf.
According to Fars, Iran struck an Amazon data center in Bahrain, paralyzing the operations of major UAE banks. This is the second attack on digital infrastructure in a few days — earlier, problems arose in Dubai.
In fact, this is a new level of pressure — not through missiles on bases, but through attacks on digital infrastructure. In the 21st century, servers have become as strategic a target as oil and straits

📸 The US will regret the attack on the frigate "Dena", said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
"The US committed a atrocity at sea, 2000 miles from the shores of Iran.
The frigate "Dena", a guest of the Indian Navy with nearly 130 sailors on board, was attacked in international waters without warning.
Mark my words — the US will very soon regret the precedent they have set."

A US contractor is advertising for a 'Personal Effects Specialist" to process and catalogue the belongings of military and civilian casualties.
Presumably the US has either suffered significantly more casualties than the 8 reported, or they expect to in the coming days.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷Trump's advisers are alarmed and urge to "declare victory" in the war with Iran as soon as possible, - CNN.
▪️Some advisers fear that the campaign will escalate into a protracted war without clear goals and will affect the elections.
▪️The US will inevitably suffer new military losses, they say. Also, the war in the Middle East has led to chaos in the stock markets and a rise in energy prices, which could affect voters' moods.
▪️One of the interlocutors called the continuation of the war a "political risk without any 'buts'," and believes that it remains to "hope that nothing will go too wrong".

The war with Iran could drag on until September, Politico reports.
The publication notes that a recent request from the Central Command indicates the inevitability of a prolonged military campaign, which contradicts the White House's initial statements about a four-week timeline.
“The US Central Command is asking the Pentagon to send more military intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days and possibly until September, according to a notification received by Politico.”

Artificial intelligence helped the Pentagon bomb Iran. According to Bloomberg, AI makes mistakes in 10% of cases. Due to the Israeli system Lavender, 3,600 civilians have already been mistakenly attacked.
Experts note that the use of AI in war is taking place in a complete legal vacuum. The technology is known for its "hallucinations" - the tendency to invent additional facts instead of acknowledging uncertainty.

Financial Times: Europe faces a new energy crisis due to attacks on Iran
According to the publication, after the escalation in the Middle East, the price of gas in Europe jumped by 53% in a few days and reached its highest level since 2023. This threatens a new round of inflation and a blow to the industry of Germany and Italy — they are more dependent on LNG imports than others.
“This is a double blow. Europe has just started to recover from the industrial energy crisis, and now we have the next one,” the publication quotes Henning Gloystein, an expert at Eurasia Group.
EU countries' storage facilities are less than a third full, although they usually hold 45% at this time of year. The particularly cold winter has depleted European reserves. Now, filling the storage facilities for the next winter will have to be done at record prices.
“Reserves have never been this low at this time of year. Filling gas storage facilities for the next winter starts now. If this has to be done at such prices, the burden on Europe will be enormous,” Simone Tagliapietra from the Brussels-based Bruegel Center explained to FT.
In addition, attacks on Iran have effectively paralyzed shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Kpler, the first tanker with Nigerian LNG has already turned back in the Atlantic. The ship was heading to France, but changed course to Asia.
Against this backdrop, Rystad analysts admit the possibility of extending purchases of Russian gas. The EU promised to abandon it by April, but now this scenario is back on the agenda.

The Telegraph: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that international law regarding Iran is effectively ceasing to function, as violating states ignore it without serious consequences. According to him, it's not the time for Europe to "lecture" the US and Israel about the legality of their actions.
Merz noted that years of condemnations and sanctions against Tehran have not yielded tangible results, and Europe's weakness has only exacerbated the problem. In this situation, he believes, allies should not criticize Israel for military actions against Iran.
Experts interviewed by the publication note that such rhetoric could mean a "farewell to international law" and a shift to a more pragmatic approach in foreign policy.

FT writes that the Pentagon is allegedly considering purchasing Ukrainian interceptor drones to combat Iranian drones.
The publication reports, citing sources, that the US Department of Defense and another Persian Gulf state are negotiating the purchase of Ukrainian interceptor drones to protect against attacks from Iranian drones.
"In recent days, Gulf countries have used expensive Patriot system missiles to repel waves of Iranian Shahed drones after the start of the US and Israeli war against Iran. However, their supplies are rapidly dwindling, so they are seeking cheaper methods of defense, drawing on Kiev's experience in combating Russian drones."
