TEHRAN, IRAN—Less than an hour before a deadly airstrike tore through a residential neighborhood in Resalat Square in eastern Tehran late Monday evening, Hassan Sharifi was walking through the area on his way home. He passed by the mid-rise apartment buildings that housed bakeries, shops, cafes, and small grocery stores on their ground floors. When the missile struck, he immediately ran back to the square.

“I didn’t think about myself,” Sharifi, a 40-year-old accountant, told Drop Site News. “I ran toward the collapsed buildings to help whomever I could. I felt that every minute mattered.”

What he found was devastating. The building facades had been blown away. Balconies had collapsed. Windows shattered. Rubble was everywhere. Inside, where families lay buried under the broken concrete, screams began to fill the air.

At least 40 people were killed, according to official reports. Most of the victims were civilians who had been inside their homes when the strike hit, Iranian media reported.

Elon Musk's AI platform wrongly claimed that footage of a fire in Glasgow was related to an incident in Tel Aviv, and it also confused a video appearing to show oil fires in Iran with a 2017 blaze near Los Angeles. 

Meanwhile, in a dizzying stream of social media posts since the US attacked Iran, Trump has variously called for a mass uprising, demanded the country’s unconditional surrender, claimed that he would be directly involved in choosing Iran’s next leader, suggested that Iran is being beaten to hell, and vowed to widen his target list.

But his most significant post called the assassination of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country”.

This was a chance the Iranian people did not take. They instead came out onto the streets by the thousands to mourn Khamenei while the bombing was taking place.

In addition to that, the killing of the Iranian head of state, in itself an event unique in modern history, might have done the very opposite of what Trump and the “brains” of the operation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had intended.

The assassination of Khamenei might have revitalised and given new direction to the Islamic Republic and the Iranian revolution.

President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Wednesday that Ukrainian anti-drone experts have begun work on defending Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates from Iranian attacks.

The US and Israel launched a massive air bombardment campaign on Iran on Feb. 28, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and plunging the region into turmoil.

Ukraine – which has now been under attack from Iranian-made Shahed drones and the Russian-made drones modeled on them for over four years – has responded by offering material assistance to the countries bearing the brunt of Iran’s response.

“Three of our teams have gone – strong teams of experts, military personnel, engineers, different people. Today the military are already communicating and already working,” Zelensky told reporters, with his spokesperson later confirming that he was referring to the three Gulf states, according to AFP.

I had the honor of speaking at the Massive Epidemic of Vaccine Injury (MEVI) Round Table hosted by the MAHA Institute in Washington, D.C. The event was a major success, with panelists presenting extensive scientific evidence to the media and public demonstrating that vaccines are, in fact, a significant contributor to America’s disastrous chronic disease epidemic—where nearly 60% of Americans now suffer from at least one chronic disease.

The attached video is a compilation of my segments from the Round Table. Below is a summary of my discussion, along with the key studies and data supporting the points I presented.

My work in this field began while studying epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. During my time as a student, I was able to secure an internship with Dr. Peter McCullough to conduct a systematic review of autopsy findings following COVID-19 vaccination.

When I began researching deaths following COVID-19 vaccination, professors warned me that pursuing this topic would end my career. Thankfully, I did not listen to them and proceeded anyway.

The study ultimately examined 325 autopsy cases worldwide in which individuals died shortly after receiving COVID-19 injections.

Tornado watches and warnings were in effect across the central United States on the evening of March 10 and into the early hours of March 11, as meteorologists tracked a line of severe thunderstorms moving across the country.

Communities in Illinois and Indiana were struck by tornadoes as the storms moved through. Severe hail was reported from Texas to Illinois, and flash flooding was being reported in Michigan.

At midnight Eastern time, more than 4 million people remained under a tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center.

Democrats on Tuesday flipped a seat in the New Hampshire House, adding to the party’s string of special election wins as the midterm cycle kicks into high gear.

Democrat Bobbi Boudman defeated Republican Dale Fincher for Carroll County House District 7, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ, filling a vacancy after Republican Glenn Cordelli resigned late last year.

Boudman challenged Cordelli unsuccessfully in 2024, losing to the Republican by roughly 14 points.

The district sided with President Trump by 9 points in 2024, according to data from The Downballot.

Republicans have a trifecta of control over New Hampshire’s state government, with majorities in both chambers of the legislature and Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R) in the governor’s mansion.

President Trump’s top federal prosecutor in Milwaukee will not have his temporary term extended by judges on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, the court announced Tuesday.

Brad Schimel, interim U.S. attorney for the district, will see the clock on his appointment run out on March 17. A majority of the federal court’s judges declined to invoke its power to keep him in his post until the vacancy is permanently filled.

“The Court awaits the nomination and confirmation of a full-time United States Attorney by the President and United States Senate,” a notice posted to the court’s website says.

The court emphasized in its notice that it “intends no criticism or commentary” on Schimel’s performance or qualifications, or that of the DOJ lawyers in his office, by deciding not to extend his interim term.

Amid an unforgiving global news cycle – and as nations weigh their options in responding to the yet unbuilt West Bank settlement project that would “bury the idea of a Palestinian state” – a telling sanctions-related development in Israel passed largely unnoticed outside Israeli media. In Tel Aviv, the new year began with a protest by a violent extremist settler group that has faced UK sanctions since October 2024.

The trigger was a new Israeli banking directive, rushed out to placate Israel’s hardliners, that they said did too little to shield Israelis from international sanctions.

The protest – and the response from the pro-settlement extremist finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, who himself faces sanctions from Australia, Canada and the UK – makes one thing clear: sanctions on extremist Israelis are working, and this remains true even after the Trump administration rolled back all Biden-era sanctions on Israeli settlers last year.

That lesson carries immediate relevance as governments now have an opportunity to give teeth to their long-standing opposition to the E1 settlement plan – a move that would fracture the territorial contiguity of the West Bank and the viability of a Palestinian state. The tenders, which seek bids from developers, call for proposals to develop 3,401 housing units in E1 – a stretch of land east of Jerusalem – and are expected to be awarded on 16 March.

Smotrich, who oversees the West Bank settlement planning body that approved the E1 settlement plan, has simultaneously waged war on the settler sanctions movement since its inception two years ago. In February 2024, Smotrich publicly browbeat Israeli banks and regulators for complying with sanctions on Israeli settlers, vowing to use “all available tools” to prevent banks from enforcing the sanctions
