Received report: At 11:45 air defense activated in south Tehran - no explosion sounds felt so far, only air defense launches can be heard (drones don't make sound either) just the air defense shooting in south Tehran. I'm posting other received messages that cannot be verified or confirmed, as some may have mistaken air defense sounds for something else. They say there's also significant thunder and lightning, and some who had sent messages later wrote that they had mistaken the light and sound of thunder and lightning. Therefore, messages from these hours can't be relied upon much: 23:37 and 23:40 in west Tehran a very strange sound like an earthquake with shaking, each lasting about 5 seconds, it was a very deep and strange sound I had never heard before. At 11:44 Tehran Piroozi anti-aircraft sounds started, Vahid again air defenses are firing and explosion sounds coming from Tehran. At 11:45 air defense sounds coming from Narmak area anti-aircraft fire; now towards south Tehran repeated explosion sounds in central Tehran from 12:13. At 23:45 Monday 25 Esfand air defense sounds coming from Yousefabad direction I hope... [Please only focus on news points. Thank you.] At 23:45 towards east Tehran Piroozi lots of sounds coming, first it was air defense then several explosions. Monday at 23:45 air defense sounds towards Shariati and Andarzgoo 11:49 intense air defense east. 23:45 east Tehran many explosions and air defense activity Afsarieh lots of explosion sounds coming both air defense and explosions. At 23:54 hello at 23:54 Tehran Resalat air defense sounds activated hello sounds I don't know air defense or explosion at 23:45 Amir Abad. At 23:45 air defense sounds southeast, explosion not very strong and relatively large fire around Khavaran highway Rezvieh neighborhood. I'm in Shahriar 10 minutes ago fighter jet sounds came with shaking but very strange more than 20 times in these ten minutes thunder and lightning struck the sky I thought they were bombing but no it's raining apparently [in Shahriar many thought it was fighter jets and bombing sounds but apparently that was also thunder and lightning, but regarding other places many still insist it's both thunder and lightning and explosions]. Now at 12:30 Saadat Abad intense thunder and lightning we thought it was explosions 📡 @VahidOnline

Persian videos I captured from the Iran-related sections of Trump's speech. I didn't get to watch them myself and don't know if he said anything else. The last two videos are long and that 19-minute version probably has a lot more content. Update: Voice of America is posting different quotes from it separately. From here down: @ VahidHeadline Donald Trump, President of the United States, referring to the attack on Kharg Island, said American forces destroyed almost all infrastructure on the island, but oil transfer facilities were deliberately not targeted. Trump explained this decision was made considering Iran's potential reconstruction in the future and said: "We left the oil pipelines; I think we did the right thing for rebuilding that country in the future." He also warned that if necessary, these facilities could also be destroyed "with one order and within minutes." @ VahidOOnLine In statements about Mojtaba Khamenei's condition, he said various reports about his physical condition have been published and it's still unclear whether he's alive or not. Trump said "Many say he's severely deteriorated. They say he lost one leg and is severely injured. Others say he's dead. No one is saying he's 100% healthy." Trump also, referring to the fact that Mojtaba Khamenei hasn't appeared publicly yet, said: "We haven't seen him at all and don't know if he's alive or not." @ VahidOOnLine Donald Trump said in a press conference that some of Washington's allies have shown no willingness to participate in the plan to secure ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said many countries are on their way to join this initiative, but others "while America has supported them for years" show no enthusiasm. Referring to the presence of American forces in various countries, he added: "We have 45,000 soldiers in some countries protecting them from danger." According to Trump, Washington asked some countries if they have the capability to participate in naval mine clearance operations, but their response was "we prefer not to get involved in this matter." The American president, criticizing this approach, said: "We've protected you for 40 years and now you don't want to get involved in a very small matter?" He also claimed that in case of conflict "very few shots will be fired because they don't have much ammunition to shoot." @ VahidOOnLine Donald Trump announced that the Islamic Republic's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has severely diminished and more than 30 of its mine-laying vessels have been targeted and destroyed. He added that as far as they know, all of Iran's mine-laying vessels have been destroyed and are on the seabed, and if Iran attempts to lay mines, it would be "a kind of suicide." Trump also said the Islamic Republic now has few missiles at its disposal and missile launches from Iran are expected to decrease. He emphasized that America's military campaign and attacks on Iran continue with full force and American forces have attacked more than seven thousand targets in this war so far. The American president added that securing the Strait of Hormuz is more beneficial for other countries than the United States, because America doesn't import its oil through this route. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

News from several hours ago: Oil loading at the strategic Fujairah port in the UAE was halted following drone attacks by the Islamic Republic on Monday. The Fujairah oil terminal is the UAE's only oil export route that doesn't require passage through the Strait of Hormuz, making it extremely important for both the UAE and global oil markets. This is the second attack on Fujairah port in the past three days. The official page of Fujairah port on X network issued a statement reporting a fire at its oil facilities and, while confirming the halt of oil loading, said the drone attack caused no casualties. Over the past two weeks, the Islamic Republic had targeted 16 oil tankers and ships in its southern waters to disrupt oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz, but the attack on UAE oil export facilities in the Sea of Oman shows the Islamic Republic's determination to disrupt all oil export routes. Brent crude oil prices in global markets rose again after the attack on Fujairah was confirmed, reaching above $106 at the time this report was compiled on Monday afternoon. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Employees of Export Bank and Dey Bank and the shops below, anyone who was present, were all killed.' Monday noon, March 15th, Vahid says in messages that the entire building was commercial. They can't be verified for me. And they say in this photo from the front, the building has become blurred. 🔄 Update: Bank employees are apparently alive. Video tweet: A government reporter went to this same location and is supposedly giving a report. Says they brought out all "14 staff members inside the bank" safely from under this rubble. Those who were killed are announced as "passersby"! 👇 - The frame also keeps the cameraman closed throughout...

The United Arab Emirates announced on Monday, March 15th, the death of a Palestinian in Abu Dhabi following the crash of debris from one of the Islamic Republic's missiles in the Al Bahia area of Abu Dhabi.

Donald Trump, the US President, called Islamic Republic security forces "thugs and criminals" and said he found it "understandable" that protest demonstrations have not formed in Iran since the recent war began. Speaking aboard the presidential aircraft, Mr. Trump responded to a question about protests in Iran saying: "You're dealing with thugs and criminals and terrible people. You're dealing with violent and evil people, and this relates to the leadership and their subordinates, their army or police." The US President referred to the numerous warnings from Islamic Republic judicial and security institutions to the people about potential protests and said: "They have notified everyone and issued statements that if you protest, you will be shot and killed." Emphasizing that protesters are unarmed, he said he knows the Iranian people are brave, but doesn't think they will protest: "I think protesting is very difficult for them. I completely understand that. They said, if you protest, you will be killed." The US President, referring to the suppression of last December's protests in Iran, repeated a statistic he had previously cited about 32,000 protesters being killed in Iran and said: "At least we think this number is much higher than that. They shot and killed 32,000 protesters who were very eager and wanted to see change... They have destroyed the country. The people running that place have destroyed the country." Mr. Trump added: "Think about it, they shot and killed far more than 32,000 people. Now two days ago they issued a notice that we will kill, we will shoot any protester and kill them. And they don't have weapons, meaning the protesters don't have weapons. So I can completely understand why they're not doing this."
