Channel 12 Israel reported that Israel's attack on Iran's South Pars gas field — the world's largest gas field — was carried out in full coordination with the United States. Channel 12 added that the goal of this operation was to send a message from Donald Trump to Tehran to show that his patience with the Islamic Republic's threats against shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is running out. A senior Israeli official told Channel 12: "Israel operationally cooperated to convey America's message; either the Strait of Hormuz opens and the Iranians remove the mines, or all these natural gas facilities and other energy installations will be destroyed." Earlier, CNN reported that an American official stated the United States did not target Iran's gas facilities and this operation was carried out by Israel. @ VahidOOnLine Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the attack on energy infrastructure and wrote on X network that such actions have complicated the situation and could have "out of control" consequences that could "involve" the entire world in its scope. Iran's National Gas Company announced that following the attack on gas facilities in the south of the country, some refinery units were damaged but no casualties were reported and all personnel are in complete safety. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

I share unverified messages I receive instantly and without review. As always, many people might not be able to distinguish between air defense fire and explosion sounds, or any message could be completely incorrect for various reasons: Hi. Vahid, the sound of 3 fighter jets came from Masal, Gilan, passed through, seems like they went toward Anzali. 21:50 Intense air defense sound was just heard continuously in south Rasht. Fighter jet sound has been coming continuously where we are near Anzali for the past 5 minutes, 9:55 PM. Now it's 10:01, about 3-4 very loud explosion sounds were heard, before that anti-aircraft sound was also heard. We are near Khomam city in Ashkik village. 10:04 The explosion sounds continue, they say it's near Hassanrud, it's Rasht air force base. Explosion sound is coming at about 10:00 PM. Vahid, we're toward Fouman, fighter jet sound and several heavy explosions, I don't know where but it's Gilan. Hi Vahid, they hit Rasht 2 minutes ago, air defense sound came and then windows shook. They hit Rasht at 10:06. 22:00 Anzali, 6 explosion sounds came from south Rasht direction, they targeted below the gas roundabout at 10 o'clock. Vahid, we're toward Lasht Nesha, the explosion waves from Anzali reached here too, the house shook. Hi, good evening, my mother called from Rasht, toward Manzarieh Rasht, first air defense sound came, then explosion sound came and windows shook, just ten minutes ago. Exactly the sound of several fighter jets has been coming for more than a quarter hour, they're circling over Khalkhal city, it's unclear if they're looking for something specific or a group is passing through toward Rasht or Anzali. 22:00 Anzali. Wednesday, 27 Esfand, around 22:00, it's still hitting, heavy smoke from Anzali Pasdaran street. Vahid, still Masal, fighter jet sound is coming. 22:21 Rasht, sound came again from distance 10:22. 22:20 Anzali, 5 explosions. Words from one of my acquaintances I spoke with: "They hit Pasdaran street in Anzali, there were several bases and police stations there, probably." I also had two messages about: 'Shahid Tamjidi Marine Industries Complex (Bandar Anzali)' but it's more speculation than news. Update: Following one of the messages, I received other messages from Golsar Rasht saying no sound was heard in this area. 📡 @VahidOnline

While no real images or videos of Mojtaba Khamenei have been released since he was introduced as the new leader of the Islamic Republic, a Telegram channel attributed to him wrote in response to the killing of Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, that every blood has a blood price that his "killers" must pay soon. In recent days, the Islamic Republic's official media have extensively used AI-generated videos and images of Mojtaba Khamenei. Donald Trump, the US President, had previously said it's unclear whether Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive - statements made following reports about him being wounded in an airstrike. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday that the country's air defense is confronting ballistic missiles; this comes as French news agencies and Reuters have reported hearing explosion sounds in the sky over Riyadh, the country's capital. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defense announced in a statement on X network, quoting a spokesperson: "Air defense is confronting a ballistic threat in Riyadh." Residents also received a phone alert stating: "This area is under enemy air threat." Saudi Arabia has been repeatedly targeted by Iranian missile and drone attacks following the outbreak of war between Iran and America and Israel. After Wednesday's attacks on South Pars gas facilities, the Revolutionary Guards threatened to target energy facilities in several Persian Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence of the United States, warned on Wednesday during a Senate hearing while announcing a new intelligence community assessment that several countries including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan are researching and developing various missile launch systems. These systems include innovative and advanced technologies as well as traditional models and are capable of carrying nuclear and conventional warheads. According to this assessment, these missiles can target U.S. territory, and therefore the country's national security faces serious threats. Gabbard emphasized that this trend demonstrates these countries' efforts to increase their deterrent capability and military power, and the American intelligence community has continuous monitoring of these activities on its agenda. @ VahidOOnLine Tulsi Gabbard wrote in the annual threat report to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee that Operation "Midnight Hammer" destroyed Iran's enrichment program and no signs of rebuilding this capacity have been seen since then. She also said Iran's government has been severely weakened as a result of recent military operations but still remains standing, and Tehran and its proxy forces still have the ability to attack American and allied interests in the Middle East. According to Gabbard, if this government remains, it may rebuild its missile and drone capabilities over several years. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The South Pars petrochemical facilities in Assaluyeh have come under aerial attacks. [I also received a lot of messages at that moment but haven't had a chance to see if there are any images among them yet.] Iran's television reported that American and Israeli attacks on Wednesday, March 18th targeted major gas facilities in South Pars and caused fires. The state broadcaster, citing the deputy governor of Bushehr province, announced that parts of the gas facilities located in the South Pars Special Economic Energy Zone in Assaluyeh were targeted by missiles launched by America and Israel. The governor of Assaluyeh also told Iranian media that "several phases in South Pars" were targeted and "these phases have been taken offline to control and prevent the spread of fire." Fars news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, also reported the targeting of tanks and facilities in "various phases of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth refineries." Meanwhile, the Axios website, citing Israeli officials, wrote that this attack was carried out in coordination with America and the Trump administration. According to this report, this is the first time Israel has attacked Iran's natural gas facilities, which are vital to the country's economy. Earlier reports had been published suggesting that the United States had objected to Israel's attack on Tehran's oil depots without Washington's consent. The South Pars gas field, which Iran and Qatar jointly exploit, is considered the world's largest known natural gas source, and the refineries based in Assaluyeh are responsible for processing the gas extracted from this field. This complex includes 13 refineries that on average inject more than 600 million cubic meters of sweet gas daily into Iran's national network and collectively supply about 70 percent of the country's gas consumption. South Pars plays a central role in supplying domestic energy and feedstock for Iran's petrochemical industries. @ VahidHeadline Iran produces 75% of its natural gas from South Pars fields and it's estimated that 80% of Iran's electricity grid is fed by natural gas. In this regard, the governor of Assaluyeh emphasized that several phases of South Pars were hit by missiles. According to the governor of Assaluyeh, these phases have been taken offline to control and prevent the spread of fire. @ VahidOOnLine The Revolutionary Guards issued an urgent warning announcing that a number of important oil, gas and petrochemical facilities in the region, including the Samref refinery in Saudi Arabia, the Al-Hosn gas field in the United Arab Emirates, the Al-Jubail petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia, the Mesaieed petrochemical complex and Mesaieed Holding Company in Qatar, as well as the Ras Laffan refinery (phases 1 and 2) in Qatar, have been considered as potential targets and may be targeted in the coming hours. This warning calls on all citizens, residents and workers present around these centers to leave these areas without any delay and move to a safe distance, as continued presence in the vicinity of these facilities could pose serious life-threatening dangers. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

🔻 Abbas Araghchi says Iran is not seeking a "ceasefire" but welcomes a "permanent end to the war." He told Al Jazeera news network in Tehran: "We are not seeking a ceasefire because we don't want this scenario to repeat itself again after some time, but rather we want a complete and permanent end to the war." He also said America entered this war by "encouraging Israel" and based on "miscalculation": "Those who demanded unconditional surrender from us are now forced to even ask their own rivals for help in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Regarding Mojtaba Khamenei's health condition, he said: "As far as I know, regarding the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, there were only superficial injuries and he is in complete health and has the situation under control." bbc.in 📷 Getty Images @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Images received describing an attack 'towards Zafaranieh #Tehran' in unconfirmed received messages say: 'somewhere on South Makovipour Street was targeted.' Early Wednesday morning, 27th Esfand, I also had a message from Vahid that: South Makovipour at the intersection of Timurian, unconfirmed claim about around here: neighbors went to see, exactly South Makovipour beginning of Timurian alley, building number 9. Update: Message received: it was at South Makovipour at Timurian. Our house is right there, I just spoke with mom and them. We're at Makovipour, they were saying the explosion sound wasn't very loud, meaning our house is about maybe 100 meters away from Timurian and the house windows shook a little. It wasn't a very big bomb. Update: According to several different messages including from the photographer himself, the second photo above is probably not related to South Makovipour and relates to another explosion. Someone wrote Valanjak because in that photo the first main street is North Makovipour and that smoke is also behind Makovipour. 📡 @VahidOnline

The Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic announced that the news published by Fars News Agency regarding "details of Ali Larijani's killing location" is false. Earlier, Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, published details about how Ali Larijani was killed, writing that he, along with his son, one of his deputies, and a group of bodyguards, was targeted and killed by fighter jets at his daughter's house in the Pardis area. @ VahidOOnLine Earlier 'the Israeli army said it targeted and killed Ali Larijani "near Tehran".'

Martyr Ali Larijani, one of the country's prominent and prudent officials, along with his son, one of his deputies, and a group of bodyguards, was targeted at his workplace by American and Zionist regime fighter jets and was martyred. In Fars's correction, it also stated: In the initial report, it was mentioned that Dr. Larijani was martyred at his daughter's house, which informed sources denied."

Donald Trump, President of the United States, said on Tuesday, March 17th, during a meeting with Micheál Martin, Prime Minister of Ireland, at a press conference that the United States is not yet ready to leave the region, but will do so "in the very near future." Referring to joint US and Israeli attacks on military targets of the Islamic Republic, he added that the opposing side "has been severely weakened from every direction" and emphasized that America has had broad support from Middle Eastern countries in this path, but has received "virtually no support from NATO." @ VahidOOnLine Donald Trump sharply criticized Keir Starmer, Britain's Prime Minister, saying: "Unfortunately, he is not Winston Churchill." These statements were made just hours after Starmer announced that Britain would not be drawn into a broader war in Iran, but would cooperate with its allies on a "practical" plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz; a mission he emphasized would be "difficult" without reducing tensions in the Middle East. Starmer, in a press conference held to reduce public concerns about rising energy costs, once again defended his decision not to participate in the initial US and Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic. Although he did not completely rule out action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, he emphasized that any military move must be made with the agreement of "maximum international partners." This comes as Trump explicitly asked Britain, China, France, Japan, and South Korea last weekend to send their warships to the region to lift the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. @ VahidOOnLine Trump added that Washington seeks to make the outcome of this war more "sustainable" so that, as he put it, future US administrations do not face such a crisis and this issue is resolved forever. These statements come while the Trump administration's initial estimate of the length of war with the Islamic Republic was stated to be about four to five weeks, but Israel has announced that it has not set a time limit for ending its operations and will continue attacks until achieving its set objectives. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
