Donald Trump, the US President, announced on Wednesday regarding military operations in Iran that the United States Army has not targeted some vital targets in Iran. In speaking with reporters, he said: "We could have done much worse things. We deliberately left some things untouched; things that if we destroy them - and we can destroy them within an hour - they (the Iranians) would practically never again be able to rebuild that country." Mr. Trump also emphasized that he is not concerned about potential Iranian-backed attacks on American soil. Simultaneously with escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, he promised that oil tankers passing through this strait will have very high security. The US President, in response to the question of how he will guarantee the security of this important waterway for global oil trade, said: "I think you will see very high security, and this will happen very, very quickly." @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Post from the US Army's Persian account: The United States Army asks civilians in Iran to immediately distance themselves from all port facilities where Iranian naval forces operate. Port workers, administrative staff, and crews of Iranian commercial ships must stay away from naval vessels and Iranian military equipment. The Iranian regime uses civilian ports along the Strait of Hormuz to conduct military operations that threaten international shipping. This dangerous action puts the lives of innocent people at risk. Civilian ports used for military purposes lose their protected status and become legitimate military targets under international law. CENTCOMFarsi 📡 @VahidOnline

Attack on #Sepah_Bank cyber building. Some of the messages received: - They hit the new Omid Sepah computer services building on Haghani Highway, across from Water and Fire Park, with precision strikes. They only hit the server section.

After Sepah Bank was hacked, this company helped recover some of the lost data with assistance from Tosan company. - A citizen who sent the photo today wrote: 'This was the main data center until the 12-day war, but after it got hacked, they moved the entire data center elsewhere. Then the night before last when Sepah got hacked again, this building was supposed to become the main data center, so they hit it around 1:15 AM. The servers and the ground floor and basement level of the building are completely destroyed. If you look closely up there, those are the data center cooling units.'

Effect of taping glass: To reduce the risk of glass shards during an explosion blast, tape should be applied to the glass from inside the house. First, make an X from the top corner to the bottom corner. Then make a plus sign in the middle of the glass to divide it into several sections. Finally, put a strip of tape around the glass frame. Wide and strong tape is better. If a thick curtain or blanket is hung in front of the window, glass shards will spread less. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Ahmadreza Radan, Commander-in-Chief of the Police of the Islamic Republic, said on the evening of March 9 to Iran's state television news network: "If anyone comes [to the streets] at the enemy's behest, we don't see them as protesters or anything like that. We see them as enemies and we will deal with them the way we deal with enemies. All our boys have their hands ready on the trigger too." In recent days, reports have emerged of extensive security force presence on the streets. Some social media users have said that "Basij members and plainclothes forces" have set up numerous checkpoints in various parts of the city, creating an atmosphere of terror and fear.
