The unsuccessful attack showed that Iran has missiles that can reach further than previously thought.

“They fired an intercontinental ballistic missile on Diego Garcia… They have now the capacity to reach deep into Europe,” he says.

“They are putting everyone in their sights. And [they’re] stopping a maritime international route, energy route, and trying to blackmail the entire world,” he adds, referring to Iran’s blocking the Strait of Hormuz,a, key oil artery. “It’s time to see the leaders of the rest of the countries join up.”

Netanyahu says some countries are beginning to move toward joining the campaign, without specifying whom or in what capacity, but adds that “more is needed.”

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained about the lack of international support for the offensive.

Netanyahu also condemns Iran’s recent attacks near holy sites in Jerusalem.

“They fired on Jerusalem, right next to the holy sites of the three monotheistic faiths: the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. By dint of a miracle, none of them were hurt, but they were targeting the holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions,” he says.

Asked by a reporter what his response will be to Iran’s attacks on Israeli civilians, the premier responds: “We’re responding with great force, but not on civilians. We’re going after the regime. We’re going after the IRGC, this criminal gang, and we’re going after them personally, their leaders, their installations, their economic assets. We’re going after them very strongly.” (ToI)

Smoke is rising after an explosion from the US and Israeli strikes on Iran in Tehran.

Quick Summary

• War with Iran: The fighting is spreading, with explosions in Lebanon and Cyprus. Check out where the strikes happened. President Donald Trump admitted there might be more US casualties after three Americans were killed.
• Hezbollah enters the fight: The Iran-backed group said it attacked an Israeli army base in retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
• Briefings challenge White House story: Pentagon officials told congressional staff that Iran wasn’t planning to hit US forces in the Middle East unless Israel struck first, which contradicts the administration’s claim of an imminent threat from Tehran as the reason for the attacks.
• Global effects: The violence is blocking oil supplies and messing with flights. Oil prices jumped in the first trades since the conflict started, while stock futures dropped hard.

President Donald Trump told reporters that his administration expects quite a bit higher casualties than the three service members killed so far in the war with Iran, based on Pentagon projections. Three is three too many as far as I’m concerned. If you look at projections, they do projections… it could be quite a bit higher than that. The three died in a suspected drone strike early Sunday in Kuwait.

Israel has issued evacuation orders for 52 settlements in southern Lebanon and confirmed plans to target Hezbollah. The military is striking targets after Hezbollah launched projectiles toward Israel early Monday. The Israeli Defense Forces do not wish to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move away from the villages by at least 1,000 meters to open areas. Anyone who is near Hezbollah fighters, facilities, or combat equipment is putting their life at risk. At least four villages have been struck so far. Wide scale evacuations due to Israeli military action are not uncommon in Lebanon, displacing thousands. Despite a US-brokered ceasefire in November 2024, Israel continues to strike targets in Lebanon, citing alleged Hezbollah violations, which the group denies.

At least 10 people have been killed and more than 200 injured in Israel since the military operations against Iran started. Since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion, teams have provided medical treatment and evacuated 238 casualties to hospitals. The numbers include 10 fatalities, 2 seriously injured, 5 moderately injured, and 221 mildly injured, of whom 175 were hurt on their way to finding shelter. Nine of the fatalities were from the city of Beit Shemesh, where a missile hit a bomb shelter. Medical treatment was given to a 102-year-old man who was injured on his way to a shelter. He was taken to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Videos show plumes of smoke rising from a site, with medical and police vans and a fire truck nearby. In another video, workers are at a site with destroyed buildings and piles of rubble.

The Israeli military confirmed it struck senior Hezbollah terrorists in the Beirut area early Monday local time. Additionally, they struck a central Hezbollah terrorist in southern Lebanon. Evacuations are underway after a series of Israeli strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs, including Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah stronghold. Hezbollah had warned earlier that it would fulfill its duty in confronting the aggression in response to the killing of Iran’s supreme leader. It has since confirmed launching missiles and a swarm of drones at an Israeli army base south of Haifa in revenge for the killing.

President Donald Trump on Sunday compared the US actions in Venezuela to the situation in Iran, saying it’s a perfect example of how a leadership change could happen amid questions about power transition after strikes killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. What we did in Venezuela, I think, is the perfect scenario. Everybody’s kept their job except for two people. In contrast with the Maduro ouster, which left the rest of Venezuela’s government intact, the president said earlier that 48 Iranian leaders have been killed during the ongoing strikes. When asked who he would like to see lead Iran, Trump said, I have three very good choices. I won’t be revealing them now. Let’s get the job done first. He also suggested the Iranian people could replace their government. That’s going to be up to them about whether or not they do. They’ve been talking about it for years so now they’ll obviously have an opportunity. The two ideas highlight the uncertainty about Iran’s political future after the strikes.

The UK’s Ministry of Defence is responding to a suspected drone strike at a British military base on Cyprus. Our force protection in the region is at the highest level and the base has responded to defend our people. The blast hit the Royal Air Force Akrotiri airbase at midnight local time and there were no casualties. This is a live situation and more info will come. The strike involved an unmanned drone which caused limited damage. It’s not said who launched the drone. It comes after the UK boosted its military bases in Cyprus with enhanced defenses like radar, counter-drone systems, F-35 jets, and ground-based air defense to support Middle East security. Any confirmed attack on a British military installation could be big because under NATO Article 5, an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. But the country would need to invoke Article 5 to get others involved.

4:18 AM SAST, March 2, 2026

President Donald Trump has returned to the White House for the first time since the strikes on Iran. He didn’t respond to questions on Iran from reporters. This is a change from his usual routine where he talks to press on Air Force One. While he didn’t answer on Iran, he stopped to look at new statues at the White House. Hezbollah fired at Israel, launching missiles and a swarm of drones at an army base in revenge for Khamenei’s killing. Israel said earlier it intercepted a projectile from Lebanon. A new briefing undercuts Trump’s claim: Pentagon officials told staff Iran wasn’t planning to strike US forces unless Israel attacked first, contradicting the argument that Iran posed an imminent threat. More on US deaths: The three service members died in a suspected drone strike in Kuwait. The UK approved a US request to use its bases for operations against Iranian missile sites. US cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Phoenix have increased police around sensitive spots like houses of worship. Oil futures surged: US crude rose about $8 a barrel, or 12%, to around $75. Brent crude jumped more than 12% to about $82 a barrel.

Hezbollah took responsibility. Multiple drone sirens went off in northern Israel. The Hezbollah terrorist organization is operating on behalf of the Iranian regime, opening fire against Israel and its civilians. The IDF will operate against Hezbollah’s decision to join the campaign and won’t allow the group to threaten Israel or harm civilians in the north. Hezbollah’s attacks mark the first rocket fire by the group since the November 2024 US-brokered ceasefire.

Bahrain: A direct hit on the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, right in the heart of Manama. Bahrain’s official news agency confirmed it themselves, but they’re staying tight-lipped on casualties so far. This isn’t just any building – it’s the nerve center for all US naval ops in the Persian Gulf. For the folks in Bahrain, who rely on that US presence for security and jobs, this feels like a personal attack on their daily stability.

UAE: Emirati defenses kicked in hard, intercepting multiple missiles over their skies. Tragically, one civilian in Abu Dhabi lost their life to falling debris, a heartbreaking reminder that even “successful” defenses can have real human costs. The UAE’s defense ministry owned up to the intercepts right away. Picture this: the UAE shares a sea border with Iran, and now they’ve essentially endured an act of war on their own soil. For everyday Emiratis, who pride themselves on building a modern, safe hub, this shatters the sense of invulnerability.

Qatar: One missile incoming, but it was swiftly knocked out with no damage or injuries reported. Qatar’s Interior Ministry confirmed the whole thing. Here’s the irony, Qatar has been playing the role of regional balancer for years, even hosting the massive Al Udeid Air Base for the US. They’ve kept diplomatic channels open with Iran. But that goodwill? It evaporated in an instant. For Qataris, this might feel like a betrayal from a neighbor they tried to keep things civil with.

Kuwait: Their state news agency, KUNA, said the missiles were “handled” in Kuwaiti airspace  no damage on the ground. Kuwait has masterfully stayed neutral through every major Gulf crisis since the ’90s invasion by Iraq. Now, Iranian missiles are whizzing over their cities? It’s a scary wake-up call for a country that’s all about peace and diplomacy. Families in Kuwait City must be wondering if their long streak of staying out of the fray is finally over.

Jordan: Two ballistic missiles downed by Jordanian forces, as confirmed by their military. This isn’t the first time – back in June 2025, they intercepted Iranian missiles headed for Israel. But now, Jordan itself was the target. For Jordanians, who often act as mediators in the region, this direct threat could push them closer to alliances they once avoided. It’s a tough spot for a nation balancing its own security with broader Arab ties.

Saudi Arabia: Iran’s Fars News is claiming successful strikes, but there’s zero confirmation from Saudi sources – no reliable reports at all. Either it didn’t happen, or Riyadh’s playing it close to the chest. Both scenarios spell big trouble ahead. Saudis, who’ve invested heavily in defense and regional influence, might see this as the last straw in a long-simmering rivalry.

Stepping back, what Iran pulled off strategically is mind-blowing  but not in a good way for them. In trying to punch back at Israel and America, their Revolutionary Guards ended up firing at six countries (including themselves in the crossfire of regional fallout). None of these nations had attacked Iran first. Bahrain wasn’t bombing Tehran; the UAE wasn’t striking Isfahan. Qatar was actually helping with talks, Kuwait was the ultimate neutral party, and Jordan was trying to calm things down.

By doing this, Iran has basically handed these countries a golden ticket to team up against them. Every violated airspace, every scared civilian, every breached border gives these nations a real reason  legally and politically  to join forces in whatever comes next. It’s like Iran accidentally built its own opposition coalition overnight.

And the actual damage? Minimal. One innocent life lost to debris, successful intercepts in four countries, no confirmed hits on US military stuff, and no American casualties among the 40,000 troops in the area. Iran swung wide at the whole Gulf, but the Gulf mostly shrugged it off.

Contrast that with Israel’s response earlier that day: pinpoint strikes on Iran’s IRGC Intelligence HQ, blasts near the Supreme Leader’s office, and three explosions in central Tehran admitted by Iranian media. One side nailed their targets; the other mostly missed and caused collateral pain.

This lopsided reality is going to shape the coming days. Iran showed they want to fight everyone but can’t land the punches effectively. The Gulf states proved they can protect themselves – and now they’re deciding if they let Iran try again. Spoiler: they probably won’t.

Keep an eye out for joint announcements from these countries, maybe coordinated air defenses from Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait. Iran didn’t just retaliate against its enemies today; it gave the entire Middle East a reason to push back harder. In the end, this could unite the region in ways no one saw coming, all because of one reckless salvo.

From what we’re hearing, Israel’s Defense Minister mentioned this was a “pre-emptive” move to head off potential threats from Tehran. In response, Iran has apparently fired back with some missiles of their own. People in Tehran are seeing smoke billowing up from parts of the city, and there are reports of explosions popping off in at least five different spots across the country. It’s chaotic, and folks there must be feeling the fear.

All this comes after Washington has been turning up the heat on Iran to rework their nuclear deal. Trump even mentioned recently that he wasn’t thrilled with how the talks were going, he called out Iran’s stance as not cutting it. It’s like a pressure cooker that’s finally blown.

On top of that, getting solid info from inside Iran is tough because a lot of international reporters can’t even get in.

It happened around 6:20 PM local time on Friday as the plane was coming in to land at El Alto International Airport after a flight from Santa Cruz. The plane slid off the runway and smashed into cars on a nearby highway, forcing the airport to shut down for a while.

The defense ministry said the plane was a C-130 Hercules and was hauling banknotes to the country’s central bank. They didn’t release official numbers on deaths right away.

An investigation is now underway to figure out what went wrong.

The ministry put out a warning that those banknotes aren’t worth anything and picking them up or trying to use them could get you in legal trouble.

They urged everyone to stay clear and let the officials handle things.

Reports say some folks showed up at the scene trying to grab the scattered cash.

Videos from the area show the wrecked plane on the ground and cars that got badly banged up.

One person’s sister was in a car when it happened, the plane’s tire came down on it, hitting her in the head and sending her to the hospital with injuries, a family member shared.

Around 14,000 troops paraded through Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, marching in precise goose-step formations under bright lights, with fighter jets zooming above.

Kim’s teenage daughter, thought to be named Ju Ae, was right there with him, standing out at the event. Even though there’s been talk in South Korea about her possibly being prepared to take over one day, no new titles were mentioned as the ruling party’s big congress, which happens every five years, came to a close.

In his final words at the congress, Kim emphasized the party’s determination to build up nuclear strength, aiming to grow the arsenal and improve ways to launch them.

But the parade itself was pretty low-key on the hardware side—no tanks rolling by, no massive intercontinental ballistic missiles, no fancy hypersonic weapons, and no big launchers on display.

This is interesting because North Korea usually loves showing off its scariest gear at these events, and lately, their media has been full of weapon pics.

Just last week, footage showed Kim seemingly driving a huge 600mm multiple rocket launcher, which they’ve called nuclear-ready, with tons of them lined up. And only four months back, they had a giant parade in the rain for the party’s 80th anniversary, flaunting their top ICBMs and other advanced stuff.

This ninth congress of the Workers’ Party, where the country’s top folks gather to approve plans, also shook up some leadership roles.

Kim’s influential sister, Kim Yo Jong, got a promotion to head a party department after being a deputy for years, locking in her spot in the core group. A bunch of high-level party and military jobs got reshuffled, bringing in younger, loyal people, while Kim was unanimously reelected as general secretary for another five years.

So, why tone down the military show this time? Parades are pricey and tricky to pull off, especially if you’re unveiling new tech. Rolling out the same missiles so soon after a big event might not pack the same punch.

But looking bigger picture, it seems like Pyongyang is showing restraint and control, saving their big cards for later.

Along with the nuclear push, Kim talked about beefing up ICBMs, submarine launches, drones, and even AI tech.

He also left a door open for talks with the US, but only if they play by North Korea’s rules. Better relations hinge on America’s approach, he said, meaning they’d have to accept North Korea’s nukes and drop what the regime calls hostile moves.

This comes as US President Donald Trump gears up for a trip to China from March 31 to April 2, which could shake up things in the region. Some experts think it might spark a chance for Trump and Kim to chat again, maybe directly or through China.

Trump didn’t bring up North Korea in his State of the Union speech, which is odd since he talked about it a lot in his first term, especially around those summits with Kim.

He did honor a 100-year-old Korean War vet, giving former fighter pilot Royce Williams the Medal of Honor to cheers from both sides. It highlighted the war’s lasting impact, even if current tensions weren’t mentioned.

North Korea’s edge has changed since those early Trump days, thanks to Kim’s tightening ties with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

They signed a big strategic partnership deal in June 2024, including mutual defense, basically making them allies. This has gotten deeper with North Korea helping in Russia’s Ukraine war, which is now a big part of their home messaging.

Media has shown Kim welcoming back soldiers who fought for Russia and supporting families of the fallen, often in touching scenes where he’s like a caring leader. This month, he even gave new homes to some of those families.

With all that, the parade focusing on troops over weapons might be tailored for folks at home—stressing unity, loyalty, and preparedness without flashing the big guns.

Still, the message to outsiders was clear: Any threat to their sovereignty would mean quick strikes back. This warning hit as the US and South Korea said their joint military exercises, maybe scaled back, are coming next month.

It all began when the woman, consumed by doubt, teamed up with her daughter to hire illegal tracking services to pinpoint her husband’s location. One fateful night, as he lay sleeping and vulnerable, she enlisted her son-in-law’s help to overpower him. In a moment of rage, she severed his penis, then flushed it down the toilet, ensuring no chance for medical reattachment. The brutality of the act shocked authorities and the public alike, highlighting the dark depths jealousy can drive someone to.

Miraculously, the husband survived the ordeal, but the physical and emotional trauma will last a lifetime. In a poignant twist, he pleaded with the court for mercy toward his wife, hoping for some form of reconciliation. However, the judge emphasized the permanent harm inflicted, delivering the stiff sentence to underscore that such violence can’t go unpunished. The son-in-law, who played a key role in the plot, was also convicted and will serve four years for his part in this twisted family scheme.

This story serves as a stark reminder of how unchecked emotions can lead to devastating consequences, tearing apart lives in ways that no one can fully mend.

The suspect, Jesse Van Rootselaar, was discovered at the scene with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was pronounced dead. Investigators are still working to uncover the reasons behind this senseless act of violence.

The tragedy unfolded at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where six people lost their lives: a 39-year-old female educator, three 12-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy, and a 13-year-old boy. At least 25 others were injured, with some airlifted to hospitals for urgent care. Earlier that day, two more victims—the suspect’s 39-year-old mother and 11-year-old step-brother—were found deceased at a nearby home.

Officials confirmed that Van Rootselaar, who had been born male, began transitioning to female about six years ago. The sequence of events began at the home before moving to the school, and authorities believe no other individuals were involved.

Over the years, police had responded to the family’s residence several times, often for concerns related to mental health. The suspect was familiar to local law enforcement and had once held a valid firearms license, which had expired. Van Rootselaar had left Tumbler Ridge Secondary School four years prior.

Around 1:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, emergency calls reported an active shooter at the school. Responding officers arrived within two minutes, entered amid ongoing gunfire, and quickly located the suspect. Two weapons—a long gun and a modified handgun—were recovered, though their specific use in the attack is still under investigation.

Tumbler Ridge, a close-knit community of about 2,400 people in British Columbia, is grappling with the aftermath. The secondary school serves just 160 students in grades 7 through 12. In a poignant address, the town’s mayor urged residents to support one another: “Lend your ear when someone needs it. Offer a shoulder to cry on. Give a hug to those who are hurting.”

The prime minister described the ordeal as one of “unheard-of cruelty,” emphasizing the bravery of the students and staff while noting that some survivors continue to fight for their lives in hospital.

As the investigation continues, the focus remains on healing and understanding how such a devastating event could occur in this peaceful corner of Canada.

The call came after local authorities began investigating Epstein. Trump allegedly expressed relief that the investigation was underway, noting that Epstein had been barred from his Mar-a-Lago club and describing him as “disgusting.” He also mentioned that people in New York were familiar with Epstein’s reputation.

Trump reportedly referred to Ghislaine Maxwell as Epstein’s key associate, calling her “evil” and urging focus on her role. Maxwell was later convicted for recruiting underage girls for Epstein.

The chief recalled Trump saying he had encountered Epstein with teenagers and quickly distanced himself. Trump was among the first to reach out when news of the investigation broke.

The 2006 probe into Epstein involved allegations of sexual exploitation of minors. It eventually led to a federal plea deal in 2008 that shielded Epstein from harsher penalties.

Trump has long maintained he ended his association with Epstein around 2004 after a dispute over staff poaching at Mar-a-Lago. He has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes prior to cutting ties.

The two had socialized in the 1990s, appearing in photos together, but Trump insists he was unaware of any illegal activities.

Recent developments include Maxwell’s virtual testimony before a congressional committee, where she invoked her right to remain silent on multiple questions. Her legal team indicated she might speak if granted clemency.

Trump has stated he hasn’t considered pardoning Maxwell.
