"Caroline Leavitt," White House spokesperson, said on Friday, March 6th, in talks with media at the White House that the United States has the weapons, ammunition and necessary equipment to continue these military attacks. She continued her remarks by referencing Trump's initial statements that the war might last 4 to 6 weeks, repeating this same position and reporting on the extraordinary progress of America and Israel in destroying military and security positions in Iran. @ VahidHeadline Update: In other news: Donald Trump, President of the United States, on Friday, March 6th, announced on social media about his meeting with executives of seven major defense contractor companies. This meeting is taking place while the Pentagon is trying to rebuild and replace its weapons stockpiles that have been depleted following extensive attacks on the Islamic Republic and other recent operations. This meeting demonstrates the Trump administration's serious determination to strengthen this country's military ammunition warehouses. Trump wrote on the Truth Social network: "We concluded a very good meeting with America's largest defense manufacturing companies, where we discussed production status and timelines." In this meeting, executives from major companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon (RTX), BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell, L3Harris and Northrop Grumman were present. The Trump administration has increased pressure on these companies to prioritize "production priority" over "paying dividends to shareholders." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

♦️ According to a "Financial Times" report, global oil prices have surged dramatically with the continuation of conflicts in the Middle East, crossing the $90 per barrel threshold for the first time since the start of the Iran war. Brent crude reached approximately $93.5 on Friday, March 6th, marking its highest level since 2024. Analysts say concerns about the war's prolongation and the potential halt of oil production in some regional countries have confronted the global energy market with a supply shock. Meanwhile, some regional producers have also reduced their output; including Kuwait, which has cut production due to filled oil storage tanks, while Iraq has also halted a large portion of its production. Experts warn that if the war continues and Persian Gulf oil exports are further disrupted, oil prices could potentially cross even the $100 threshold. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

♦️ Majid Takht Ravanchi, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, said on Friday, March 5th, in an interview with "France 24" that Tehran had previously warned European countries and other parties not to get involved in what he called "aggression against Iran." He emphasized: "If any country joins the United States and Israel in this aggression, it will become a legitimate target for the Islamic Republic's response." In this interview, Takht Ravanchi also claimed that Islamic Republic officials had participated in negotiations with the United States "in good faith" and that the latest round of talks in Geneva on Thursday had been "successful," but according to him, the U.S. government "with Israel's help" launched an attack against the Islamic Republic on Saturday. He also confirmed that Iran is targeting Kurdish groups inside Iraqi territory. Responding to reports about U.S. and Israeli intelligence support for these groups, Takht Ravanchi said: "If it's necessary to protect our sovereignty, we will certainly do this." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Council on Foreign Relations: Iran War's Outcome Still Uncertain Michael Froman, head of the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations think tank, writes in an analysis about the ongoing war that the conflict with Iran has now entered its second week; while Ali Khamenei and a large portion of Islamic Republic leaders have been killed, over 2,000 targets in Iran have been attacked, and according to U.S. Central Command, more than 30 Iranian vessels have also been targeted or sunk. In response, Iran has reacted by attacking military, civilian, and infrastructure targets in 11 countries. He writes that although many countries will not express sympathy over the fall of the Islamic Republic's leader, there are doubts in Europe, the Middle East, and even within America about the consequences of this operation. According to him, the final judgment about this war depends on its long-term outcome: if it leads to a more stable region and less hostile government in Iran, it will be considered a success, but if it leads to instability and prolonged conflict, criticism will increase. Froman writes that one of the main uncertainties is the future of government in Iran. The power structure in the Islamic Republic is divided between clergy and security apparatus, and it's unclear what order will replace it in case of leadership change. According to some analysts, Mojtaba Khamenei is among the main succession options, but other scenarios are also raised; including collective leadership among security institutions, Revolutionary Guards taking power, ethnic divisions emerging in the country, or even the rise of opposition figures like Reza Pahlavi. He also reminds that American and Israeli goals are not completely identical. According to Eldridge Colby, senior Pentagon official in defense policy, Washington's goal is destroying the Islamic Republic's ability to exercise military power in the region, including its nuclear program, missile and drone capabilities, and naval forces. In contrast, regime change in Tehran is more raised as Israel's goal, though Washington doesn't oppose it either. Froman emphasizes that even after heavy strikes on Iran's missile capabilities, this country still has capacities to respond. Tens of thousands of American forces in the region are within range of Iranian attacks and Washington's allies are also vulnerable. So far, six American soldiers have been killed in this war. He also points to an important military challenge: using very expensive missiles to counter cheap drones. According to him, technologies like interceptor drones or directed energy systems like lasers could change this equation in the future. Reports have also been published about experimental use of laser systems like "Iron Beam" and "HELIOS" to counter missiles and drones. This analysis also refers to the economic consequences of the war. The Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 percent of the world's oil and liquefied gas passes, is one of the sensitive points of this conflict. Although oil prices have increased, they haven't yet reached crisis levels. However, oil tanker traffic has decreased by more than 90 percent compared to last week, and America has announced that if necessary, the country's navy will escort commercial ships. Froman concludes by writing that there is a big difference between ending a successful military operation and achieving a positive outcome for the Iranian people. According to him, America's military objectives may be achievable and Israel's political objectives more complex, but the most important question is what the outcome of this war will be for the future freedom and welfare of the Iranian people.

Donald Trump said the leadership of the Islamic Republic has been "neutralized" and no longer has the power it had a week ago. He added that he has no objection to having a religious leader in Iran, but emphasized that it depends on who that person is. When asked whether he insists that Iran be a democratic country, Trump said: There must be fair and just leadership that does its job well, treats America and Israel appropriately, and behaves the same way with other Middle Eastern countries. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Trump: Only Unconditional Surrender New post by Donald Trump on Truth Social: There will be no deal with Iran, except unconditional surrender. After that, and after choosing great and acceptable leader(s), we will work tirelessly alongside many of our extraordinary and very brave allies and partners to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction and make it economically bigger, better and more powerful than ever before. Iran will have a great future. "Make Iran Great Again (MIGA!)" Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America Ardeshir Update: Donald Trump told Axios in an interview that his meaning of "unconditional surrender" by the Islamic Republic doesn't necessarily mean a formal declaration of surrender and could mean the complete destruction of this government's military capability. Trump said: "Unconditional surrender could be that they declare it. But it could also be that they're no longer able to fight, because they don't have anyone or anything to fight with." He emphasized that he will not back down from his demand for complete surrender of Islamic Republic forces and warned that otherwise, no commanders will be left for Iran. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

The Guardian Council building in the image can't be seen clearly because it's under smoke, but it hasn't been destroyed. There's a 99% chance all these buildings have been evacuated by now.

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Thursday that he wants the complete dismantling of Iran's leadership structure and added that he has several names in mind for a "good leader." In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump said: "We want to go in and clean everything out. We don't want someone who will rebuild everything again over a ten-year period." He added: "We want them to have a good leader. There are several people who I think could do a good job." Trump refrained from naming these individuals. Trump's statements continue remarks he made on Saturday in an interview with NBC News. When asked who would lead Iran in the future, he responded: "I don't know, but at some point they will contact me to ask who I prefer." He added that "when I say this, I'm just being a little sarcastic." Trump also reacted on Thursday to statements by Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, in an interview with "NBC Nightly News" host Tom Llamas. Araghchi had said his country is prepared for a ground attack by American and Israeli forces. Trump described this statement as "a foolish remark" and said he is not currently thinking about a ground attack. He said: "This is a waste of time. They have lost everything. They have lost their navy. Whatever they could lose, they have lost." Trump added that the speed and intensity of attacks will continue. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

The commander of US Central Command says America has sunk more than 30 Iranian ships. Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command, said Thursday evening: In the past 72 hours, American forces have targeted nearly 200 targets in Iran. He said America has sunk more than 30 Iranian ships so far. Mr. Cooper added: "Just in the past few hours, we targeted an Iranian drone-carrying ship that is roughly the size of a World War II-era aircraft carrier. This ship is currently burning." This US Navy commander did not specify the name of the vessel he claimed is burning. He said if we look only at the past 24 hours of this operation and compare it to the beginning of the operation, ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90 percent compared to the first day. He added that drone attacks have also decreased by 83 percent from the first day until now. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
