Trump administration is cutting its planned emergency war funding request for Iran from $200+ billion to about $80–100 billion.

The original Pentagon proposal aimed to cover combat costs and replenish depleted weapons stockpiles.

A new Pew (March 2026) poll shows 60% of Americans now view Israel unfavorably, up from 42% in 2022.

The biggest shift is generational.

84% of Democrats under 50 view Israel negatively.

57% of Republicans under 50 also hold unfavorable views.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 IRGC Public Relations:

‘A few minutes ago, an advanced Hermes-900 drone in the sky of Lar, Fars Province, was intercepted and destroyed by the fire of the IRGC's new aerospace defense systems under the control of the country's integrated air defense network.

The entry of any enemy American-Zionist aircraft into the country's airspace, even without conducting military operations, is considered a violation of the ceasefire and will be met with a response.’

❗️Iranian Foreign Ministry:

Araghchi discusses violations of the ceasefire in Iran and Lebanon in a call with the Pakistani Army Chief.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 A senior Iranian official to Al-Jazeera:

‘We will punish Israel in response to the crime it committed in Lebanon and the violation of the ceasefire conditions.

The ceasefire includes the region, and Israel is knowingly breaking its promises. Only bullets will deter it.’

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇱🇧 BREAKING: A source also tells Tasnim that Iran is preparing a retaliatory response to the Israeli attacks on Lebanon today, and that if ceasefire violations ‘persist’, Iran will cancel the 2-week agreement and not attend the planned talks in Islamabad

🇺🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱 ⚡️- BREAKING: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tells Axios that Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire agreement with Iran.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- Iranian Fars News reports that oil tankers will not be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz due to Israel’s strikes in Lebanon.

VERY INTERESTING: Iranian military sources claim Mirage-2000-9 jets — operated by the UAE — were involved in the attack on the Lavan Island refinery today.

Reports also say the U.S. told Iran the strikes were not linked to the U.S. or Israel.

Btw I doubt this war will end because the US needs Iranian oil, if the oil price is below 100$ it'll soon be unprofitable for the US to sell its own oil as they're over-extracting it, meanwhile the Iranians have A LOT of oil at a low price similar to Saudi.

Iran and Saudi need about 10-15$ per barrel while the US currently need more than 60$ and it could rise to 100$ within 10 years

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- CONFIRMED: US airstrikes taking place against Tehran, the capital of Iran.

The 2 week ceasefire lasted 12 hours.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- Explosions in Karaj, northern Iran.

There is no confirmation of airstrikes in Iran currently, only preliminary reports.

Give it time within 30 minutes we'll likely know

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.

The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.’

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt: ‘Iran submitted a 10-point proposal, which was ignored by the President’

@Middle_East_Spectator

Still nothing on these strikes.

Because they didn’t happen

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

Just today, Netanyahu launches his harshest attack against Lebanon since the offensive began.

His contempt for life and international law is intolerable.

Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire.

The European Union must suspend its Association Agreement with Israel.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️- BREAKING: Statement from Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf regarding violations of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire:

He states that the previously workable basis for negotiation has been violated, and that a ceasefire and further negotiations are now unreasonable.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: An oil tanker attempted to cross the Strait of Hormuz, but was turned away by the IRGC Navy — which confirms that the Strait is currently still CLOSED
