Radio Farda: The Israeli army announced on Thursday with the release of video footage that the country's air force has targeted inspection checkpoints in Tehran. In the Israeli army's statement, it said that the country's air force "identified and targeted checkpoints and forces of the Basij unit" in several locations in Tehran and killed Basij members. Israel says these attacks are "deepening the strike on nuclear layers and core infrastructure" of Iran's government. On Wednesday evening, concurrent with the release of images and reports of extensive drone flights in Tehran's skies, Fars News Agency reported that they were seeking to target government officials' inspection checkpoints in Tehran. The same news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, then reported that 10 officials were killed during these attacks. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, claimed on Thursday, March 12th that "Mansoureh Khojasteh, wife of Ali Khamenei, is alive." @VahidOOnLine Today, the first written message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei was published, but at the same time, some observers pointed to a strange detail; there was no reference to his mother's death in this message. This raised serious doubts about his own status. Following this development, government-affiliated media have now presented a new narrative. Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, announced in a message: "We inform that the wife of the martyred leader of the revolution is alive and the initial news published about her martyrdom was incorrect." @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

♦️ The Wall Street Journal, on Thursday, March 21st, citing military experts, wrote that limitations of air and naval operations in the battle against the Islamic Republic have confronted Washington with a strategic deadlock. These analysts believe that the continued presence of the current government in Tehran, while maintaining nuclear and missile capabilities, effectively hands over control of global energy markets to Iran. Security experts warn that if diplomatic channels fail, relying on air power alone will not be sufficient to achieve vital objectives, including reopening the "Strait of Hormuz" and neutralizing remaining nuclear stockpiles. Brian Katulis, a senior expert at the "Middle East Institute," says in this regard: "Washington's strategic priorities will likely require deploying ground forces and seizing parts of Iran's coastline." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Four days after the announcement of Mojtaba Khamenei's appointment to the leadership, a written message from him has been published in Iranian media. In the message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, it states that he has called for the Islamic Republic to continue efforts to close the Strait of Hormuz and has demanded that "other fronts" be opened as well. It has also been written, quoting Mojtaba Khamenei, that the Islamic Republic will not abandon revenge for the blood of Seyyed Ali Khamenei and "the blood of martyrs." This message has no photos or videos and provides no information about his health and physical condition. Previously, some speculation suggested severe injury or even the killing of Mojtaba Khamenei. @VahidHeadline Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, in the first statement published by his office, claimed that he learned about the Assembly of Experts' decision regarding his selection through television. This is while before his selection, reports had been published that negotiations had taken place with Islamic Republic leadership candidates and they had declined to accept responsibility. Mojtaba Khamenei in his statement called for continued "presence" of Islamic Republic supporters in the streets and regarding the ongoing war, explicitly declared: "We must certainly continue to use the lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz." The Revolutionary Guards in recent days have intensified attacks on commercial ships, oil tankers, and oil storage facilities of Persian Gulf countries, effectively causing trade flow in the Strait of Hormuz to halt. He also threatened: "Studies have been conducted regarding opening other fronts where the enemy has little experience and will be severely vulnerable, and their activation will take place if the war situation continues and in accordance with interests." @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

🔸 The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council threatened that if the US attacks Iran's power facilities, in response "within half an hour the entire region will experience blackouts." 🔸 Ali Larijani made this threat on Thursday on X network in response to statements by Donald Trump, the US President, about targeting Iran's electricity infrastructure. 🔸 Mr. Trump said on Wednesday that if the Islamic Republic of Iran escalates tensions in the Middle East, "we can take out their electrical capacity within one hour, and it would take them 25 years to rebuild it." 🔸 This comes as Iran has intensified attacks on oil tankers and oil storage facilities since yesterday with the aim of driving up oil prices. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has released a video of attacks on Iranian military aircraft and stated that "American forces are not only defending against Iranian threats, but are systematically destroying them." CNN news agency also reports in this regard that the video shows an air base in Kerman where three Iranian military aircraft were attacked. CNN says that two American-made C-130 aircraft and one P-3 aircraft, as well as one Russian-made IL-76 aircraft, were targeted. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The International Atomic Energy Agency has announced that 32 members of this international body have decided to release 400 million barrels of strategic oil reserves, with the United States and Japan having the largest shares. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Energy has announced that starting next week and over 120 days, it will release a total of 172 million barrels from its strategic oil reserves to the market. @VahidHeadline Oil prices in global markets on Thursday morning, March 21st, and simultaneously with the intensification of the Islamic Republic's attacks on tankers and concerns about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, once again crossed the $100 threshold. @VahidOOnLine With sharp increases in fuel costs and disruptions in flight routes due to unsafe skies in many parts of the Middle East, airlines around the world have increased ticket prices. According to Reuters, jet fuel prices, which were around $85 to $90 per barrel before the conflicts began, have now reached around $150 to $200. This dramatic increase in fuel costs has caused some airlines to raise flight ticket prices to offset their operational costs. @VahidOOnLine According to the New York Times, in a Pentagon briefing to American lawmakers, it was stated that the first week of the war against Iran cost the United States more than $11.3 billion. The New York Times, citing sources familiar with Tuesday's classified session, reported that this figure does not include many costs related to preparing and deploying forces before the attacks began; therefore, the actual cost of the first week of war could be much higher. Defense officials had previously told Congress that approximately $5.6 billion worth of ammunition was consumed in just the first two days of conflict; a figure that is much higher than previous public estimates. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Israel says it has attacked the Taleghan site in Parchin. The Israeli army announced on Thursday that it had attacked a nuclear facility near Tehran called "Taleghan." In its statement, the Israeli army referred to this facility as the "Taleghan complex" and said that the Iranian government used it "to advance nuclear weapons capabilities." The Israeli army's message mentioned that in the 2000s, the Taleghan facility was used to develop advanced explosives and conduct sensitive tests as part of the secret "Amad" project. It had been previously reported that Taleghan 2 had been targeted during Israel and America's twelve-day war with Iran. About a month ago, the Institute for Science and International Security based in Washington, by releasing satellite images, said that new construction activities had taken place at the former site of this facility, which was also called "Taleghan 2." According to this institute, Iran at that time, after reinforcing the concrete layers of the "Taleghan 2" facility in Parchin, had covered extensive parts of it with soil. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Wednesday to a crowd of people in Kentucky, referring to when operations against the Islamic Republic will end: "We don't want to leave too soon, right? We need to finish the job, right?" Mr. Trump said the Islamic Republic's air force has been "destroyed—completely destroyed. It took about three hours." He added: "They no longer have radar. They don't have air defense systems. They have nothing. Their missiles have been reduced by 90% and their drones by 85%. We're blowing up the factories where these are made one after another." Mr. Trump said that in Operation Midnight Hammer, the Islamic Republic's nuclear capabilities were destroyed, but "after Operation Midnight Hammer we left, thinking their work was done for a while. But they started again. That's why we need to finish the job, right? We don't want to come back every two years and see this same story again." @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The resolution states that these attacks violate international law and constitute "a serious threat to international peace and security."

Reports indicate that a "numbers station" is transmitting encrypted messages in Persian via shortwave radio; messages that some intelligence experts believe may be used to communicate with intelligence sources inside Iran. According to this report, these broadcasts began hours after the March 30th attacks on the Islamic Republic, from a transmitter somewhere in Western Europe. In these messages, a Persian-speaking voice says "attention" and then reads a series of numbers. Some former U.S. intelligence officials have said such stations are typically used to send instructions to field operatives or to set meeting points and operational orders, and are often used as backup communication channels in emergency situations. According to experts, these broadcasts were later disrupted for periods by beeps and various electronic noise; an action that is believed to likely be an attempt to create interference and cut off these communications. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
