Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced on Saturday that he is increasing global tariffs on goods entering the United States from 10 percent to 15 percent, and this decision will be implemented "right now" - a move that came one day after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a major portion of his extensive tariffs. Trump wrote on the Truth Social network that after a complete review of what he called the court's "extremely anti-American decision" on Friday to limit his tariff program, his administration is raising import duties to "the full legally permitted and legally tested level of 15 percent." He wrote: "I, as President of the United States, am right now increasing the 10 percent global tariff on countries - many of which have been plundering America for decades without any retaliation until I came - to the full legally permitted and legally tested level of 15 percent." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Several universities in Tehran and Mashhad became the scene of anti-government gatherings at the start of the new academic semester, and at Sharif University of Technology clashes broke out between protesters and "Basij" forces. These gatherings on Saturday, March 2nd coincided with ceremonies marking the 40th day since protesters were killed in January across Iran. Based on videos published on social media from the student gathering at Sharif University of Technology, they chanted slogans such as "Freedom, freedom," "Until the cleric is shrouded, this homeland won't be a homeland," "This isn't the last battle, Pahlavi will return," "We fight, we die, we'll take Iran back," and "All these years of crime, death to this rule." Reports indicate that pro-government forces attacked the students after these chants were made, and were met with students' chants of "Shameless, shameless." Based on videos published by the Student News Agency, Basij students chanted: "Mourning is their act, Pahlavi is their power." Other videos also show them chanting "Heydar Heydar" in front of the students. @VahidHeadline The first, third and last videos are received. I took the chanting video from social media. I saw some media outlets also mistakenly broadcast old videos from street events that I had published in past years: 2017 video @VahidOnline 2022 video @VahidOnline 📡 @VahidOnline

Axios reported, citing a senior American official, that Donald Trump's administration is prepared to consider a proposal that would allow the Islamic Republic "symbolic enrichment" of uranium, provided that no practical path to nuclear weapons remains. According to this official, Trump's official position is still "zero enrichment on Iranian soil," but if Tehran can prove through technical details that a limited level of enrichment poses no threat, Washington will review it. The outlet wrote that America's expectations from Tehran's written proposal are very high and must address doubts within the administration and regional allies. Axios also revealed that multiple military options, including plans to target Ali Khamenei and Mojtaba Khamenei, have been presented to Trump, but no decision has been made yet. According to the outlet, Omani and Qatari mediators are emphasizing an agreement that would be acceptable to America, Tehran, and regional allies. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
