TRUMP SAID “THE ENTIRE COUNTRY CAN BE TAKEN OUT IN ONE NIGHT. AND THAT NIGHT MIGHT BE TOMORROW NIGHT-Iran War, Day 38. Here are the 10 latest updates you should probably know…
1. TRUMP SAID “THE ENTIRE COUNTRY CAN BE TAKEN OUT IN ONE NIGHT. AND THAT NIGHT MIGHT BE TOMORROW NIGHT.”
Standing at a White House press conference, Trump escalated beyond all previous threats.
He called his Tuesday 8PM deadline final.
Defense Secretary Hegseth announced: “Today will be the largest volume of strikes since day one. Tomorrow — even more than today.”
When a reporter asked Trump if he was concerned about committing a war crime by targeting civilian infrastructure, he said: “No. I hope I don’t have to do it.”
The deadline is hours away as this is written.
2. EGYPT, PAKISTAN AND TURKEY PROPOSED A 45-DAY CEASEFIRE. IRAN REJECTED IT. TRUMP CALLED IT “NOT GOOD ENOUGH.”
Mediators from Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey sent a last-ditch proposal to both sides — a 45-day ceasefire, reopening of Hormuz, and a pathway to a permanent end to the war.
Iran rejected it immediately, saying it would only accept a permanent end to the war with guarantees it will not be attacked again.
Iran’s diplomat in Cairo said: “We no longer trust the Trump administration after the U.S. bombed us twice during previous rounds of talks.”
Trump acknowledged the proposal but said it was “significant — but not good enough.”
Iran then sent its own 10-point counter-proposal through Pakistan.
3. ISRAEL KILLED THE IRGC’S INTELLIGENCE CHIEF. AND STRUCK THREE TEHRAN AIRPORTS IN ONE NIGHT.
Israel assassinated Majid Khademi, the head of intelligence for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It then struck three Tehran airports overnight — Bahram, Mehrabad, and Azmayesh destroying dozens of helicopters and aircraft belonging to the Iranian Air Force.
Iran confirmed both.
This is systematic dismantling — not just of military capability, but of command, intelligence, and transport infrastructure simultaneously.
4. IRAN HAS HAD NO INTERNET FOR 38 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. THE LONGEST NATIONAL BLACKOUT EVER RECORDED.
NetBlocks confirmed on Day 38 that Iran’s internet blackout is now the longest national-scale outage ever recorded in history.
An entire country of 93 million people cut off from the world.
A Tehran resident told journalists: “Constantly there is the sound of bombs, air defenses, drones.”
Another said he takes sleeping pills to get through the nightly bombardments, worried about power, gas, and water cuts. “Stop this war,” he said.
5. SIX CHILDREN UNDER 10 WERE KILLED OVERNIGHT IN TEHRAN.
Four girls and two boys below the age of 10 were killed in overnight U.S.-Israeli attacks on a residential area in Tehran’s Baharestan county, according to Iran’s Fars news agency.
A strike near Eslamshar, southwest of Tehran, killed at least 15 more people.
Five were killed in Qom. Three in Tehran. Six in other cities. These are the numbers behind the headlines.
6. AN IRANIAN DRONE STRUCK KUWAIT’S ALI AL SALEM AIR BASE. 15 AMERICANS INJURED.
An Iranian drone strike on Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait overnight injured 15 American service members, confirmed by two U.S. officials.
Iran is not just targeting infrastructure anymore. It is targeting American personnel directly inside allied countries.
7. ISRAEL STRUCK IRAN’S SOUTH PARS GAS FIELD — THE WORLD’S LARGEST. AGAIN.
Israel struck a key petrochemical plant at South Pars, the world’s largest natural gas field, shared with Qatar, and critical to electricity production for Iran’s 93 million people.
Two senior IRGC commanders were killed in the strike.
Iran’s former foreign minister warned Arab countries that if Trump follows through on power plant strikes, the entire region will go “dark.”
The Red Cross stated: “Deliberate threats against essential civilian infrastructure must not become the new norm in warfare.”
8. GAS PRICES IN AMERICA HIT $4.12 A GALLON. UP 38% SINCE THE WAR STARTED.
The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States edged up to $4.12, up 38% since February 28th.
Prices have increased on all but three days since March 1.
Those three declines were by a fraction of a penny each.
More increases are expected. Oil is now above $109 a barrel, 50% higher than when the war began.
9. IRAN DEMANDED FINANCIAL REPARATIONS AND A GUARANTEE IT WILL NEVER BE ATTACKED AGAIN. AS ITS CONDITION FOR PEACE.
Iran’s position is now clear and public.
It will not accept a temporary ceasefire. It will not negotiate under ultimatums.
Its conditions for ending the war include financial reparations for war damages, lifting of all sanctions, and a binding international guarantee that the United States and Israel will never attack it again.
The U.S. has so far called this position “illogical and excessive.”
Both sides are talking through intermediaries. Neither side has moved enough.
10. 38 DAYS IN. THE TOTAL HUMAN COST. ACROSS FIVE COUNTRIES.
– More than 3,400 people have been killed across the Middle East since February 28th.
– Over 1,900 in Iran.
– At least 1,400 in Lebanon.
– Dozens in Israel, the Gulf states, and Iraq.
– 13 American service members killed. 365 wounded.
Iran has no internet. No supreme leader. A collapsing currency.
Airports being bombed. Universities in ruins. And a government that is still saying: we will not surrender.
Tonight at 8PM Eastern, the world finds out what happens next.
