The Iran has fired two ballistic missiles at the American-British military base Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, β WSJ.
They were shot down while approaching. But the funny thing is that the island is approximately 4000 km from Iran away.
It seems that the Iranian missiles have a greater range than Tehran has previously admitted.
By the way, it is also 4000 km from Tehran to Paris.

Houthi leader signals readiness to enter war in support of Iran β Arab News
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi has stated that his forces are ready to enter the war alongside Iran should the situation escalate further. He emphasized that they have "their finger on the trigger" and can act at any moment, supporting Iran politically and viewing the conflict as a struggle for the Muslim world.
So far, however, the Houthis have behaved cautiously, likely due to the risks of escalation.
Militarily, they now possess a substantial arsenal:
βͺοΈ Long-range missiles
βͺοΈ Combat drones (a central component of their strategy)
βͺοΈ Capabilities for attacks on ships in the Red Sea
βͺοΈ Support from Iran and allies such as Hezbollah
Experts warn: A direct entry into the war by the Houthis could open a new front and significantly widen the conflict, particularly in the strategically important Red Sea.

Israel puts pressure on Syria due to its refusal to take action against Lebanon
Syria is refusing to open a new front against "Hezbollah" over eastern Lebanon. According to Reuters, the U.S. is indeed urging Damascus to consider sending troops into that area, but the Syrian authorities view it with extreme caution, understanding that such a step could immediately draw the country into a foreign war and destabilize the situation within Syria (Reuters).
In this context, Israel has significantly intensified its operations. Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated that Israel will not allow harm to befall the Druze people while it is at war against Iran and "Hezbollah." Subsequently, the Israeli army carried out attacks on Syrian governmental targets in the southern part of the country. Reuters reports that objects of the Syrian government, including a command center and military infrastructure, were hit (Reuters).
The plan is clear: Damascus did not want to become another tool in the regional operation against Lebanon and "Hezbollah" β and in response, force was used against the country. Formally, all of this is presented under the theme of protecting the Druze, but essentially, Israel is making it clear to Syria that the refusal to follow the desired line can indeed have military consequences.
Syria finds itself once again in a role typical of the region: the country must timely choose the "right" side, or else the pressure will quickly shift from diplomatic to violent. In other words, the war over Iran and Lebanon is already beginning to extend to the Syrian direction.

Good morning, dear subscribers β have a wonderful Monday!βοΈ π
Snow in Anapa β a rare phenomenon. The coast experiences a mild winter: the sea is close, the air is humid, temperatures often hover just above freezing, and precipitation usually turns into rain. Therefore, a real snowfall here is long remembered β it looks like a foreign, almost impossible decoration that suddenly becomes reality.
When snow does fall, Anapa changes immediately. The promenade and steps turn white, even trails stretch across the promenades, and the stones by the water darken under the snow. The palms, accustomed to the southern light, stand so ordinarily in the snow, as if that is their regular job. And the Black Sea remains as usual β dark, heavy β and steam rises above it. This is basic physics: cold air meets warmer water, moisture evaporates, and a light mist forms above the surface.
Such snowfalls usually come with the intrusion of cold air from the mainland and a gusty northeastern wind. It doesnβt last long: after a few hours, the snow begins to melt, water forms on the tiles and puddles on the curbs, and the usual winter weather in Anapa returns.
And that is exactly why such days are so well remembered. In the picture, the familiar coast remains β and a rare, almost festive layer of silence and white, which is not often seen in the south.

βTrump to Iran: Open Hormuz within 48 hours β otherwise the USA will attack power plants.β β Axios
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the USA would "attack and destroy" Iranian power plants β "starting with the largest first" β if Tehran did not fully reopen the Strait within 48 hours, that is by 11:44 PM GMT on Monday according to the time of his post.
βοΈ The Strait of Hormuz, through which oil tankers from the Gulf countries pass, has effectively been closed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Against the backdrop of escalating Middle East conflict, the oil price has surpassed the $100 mark per barrel. On March 22, Brent crude was trading at a price of $109.56.
On March 14, Donald Trump called on a number of countries to send ships into the waters; however, the EU foreign ministers rejected the US request after talks in Brussels. The American president urged allies to "get their act together" and help open the route.

Trump is considering negotiations with Iran after three weeks of military operations, reports Axios citing sources
Advisers to the American president are already looking to begin preparations for a diplomatic solution to the conflict with the Islamic Republic. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. Special Envoy Stephen Witkoff are participating in the talks.
It is emphasized that from Washington's perspective, agreements to end the war must include the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran's commitments not to develop a missile program for five years, the cessation of uranium enrichment, and the decommissioning of nuclear reactors at sites in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo.
At the same time, Iran demands a ceasefire, guarantees that the war will not be resumed in the future, and compensation. According to an American official, Trump considers the condition for reparations "unacceptable." Another official stated that the return of frozen assets to Tehran could be discussed.
Currently, Trump's team is trying to find "the most suitable contact person" in Iran for negotiations and a mediating country. The advisers of the U.S. president do not consider the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, Abbas Araqchi, capable of closing a deal, and Qatar is being considered as a mediator.

"They call it reparations. Perhaps we call it the return of frozen funds. There are many different ways we can formulate this politically to resolve what they need to resolve and achieve a consensus in their system," he said.

The Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth, said: βThe problem with Iran is that it spends money on weapons and rockets instead of improving the lives of its people.β
The U.S. military budget amounts to 1 trillion dollars, while Iran's budget is 10 billion dollars.
Additionally, Iran has been accused of possessing technologies for long-range missiles of which the West was unaware. Iran has reportedly deceived the U.S. insidiously.

"If the sanctions against Russia had not been loosened, the oil price would be at 150 dollars per barrel," said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with NBC.
According to him, Russia will receive up to 2 billion dollars in additional revenue. There was the choice to either allow an increase in Russia's revenues or face a drastic rise in oil prices to 150 dollars per barrel, "and then they would receive 70% of that."
When asked about the lifting of restrictions on Iranian oil, he added that "the U.S. has always been prepared for such a scenario."
