Including the drones shot down yesterday, in total 29 drones were downed by the army (Artesh) since the start of the war.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 The Americans had an intelligence source in Khamenei's entourage, reports the Financial Times.

The strike on Iran had been planned for months, but the details were adjusted after American and Israeli intelligence confirmed that Khamenei and his senior associates would be in his Tehran compound on Saturday morning.

It was concluded that after the start of a full-scale war, the "hunt" would become much more difficult: the Iranians would quickly resort to pre-prepared shelter measures, including moving into underground bunkers invulnerable to Israeli bombs.

Khamenei did not live in constant hiding. However, in the event of war, he still took certain precautions.

"It was unusual for him to be outside the bunker—he had two of them—and if he had been there, Israel would not have been able to hit him with the bombs it had," noted an FT source.

Israeli intelligence had data from electronic reconnaissance, including hacked surveillance cameras and mobile communication networks. However, the Americans had an even more specific source: a person in the ayatollah's entourage.

This allowed Israeli aircraft, which had been in the air for several hours, to deliver up to 30 high-precision strikes. The Israeli military added that choosing daytime provided a tactical advantage due to the element of surprise.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇰🇼| Satellite images show that Iranian strikes have destroyed at least 3 radomes (radar) at US Arifjan base, Kuwait, on March 2nd.

The same base was attacked again last night and the damages will increase.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Iran's Ministry of Defense Spokesman: 'We have prepared for a very long war, and therefore it would be foolish to use our most effective weapons in the very beginning. The enemy has a limited stockpile and everyone is aware of this fact.'

🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 Footage of Iranian ballistic missile launches towards Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East.

White normal truck, interesting. So the only way to determine if an airstrike destroyed a military truck is essentially to check for secondary explosions.

A correction to this post has to be issued. According to the Chinese foreign ministry, the reports regarding the deliverance of the CM-302 anti-ship cruise missile are inaccurate and no such delivery occured. At least this is their public statement.

No comment. 🤣

No evidence of Iran building nuclear bomb — UN nuclear watchdog

No way to confirm this, so take it with a grain of salt.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇸🇦 A CIA station in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was hit by Iranian drones.

It looks like Iran has at least some credible intelligence. It's largely a symbolic attack, but it served it's purpose.
