Times of Iran News took to the X on Sunday (8th March) to inform about the US-Israeli attack on Tehran’s largest oil depot up in flames.
Revolutionary Guards of Iran had challenged US forces, on the 8th day of War, to attempt to escort oil-tankers crossing Strait of Hormuz, reminding them of 1987 burning of Supertanker Bridgeton.
Esmail Baghaei, porte parole of the Iran Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while speaking about the 7th day of ME War, claimed (by means of X) on 6th March, 2026 that US/Israel forces have bombed Niloufar Square’s Shahid Hamedani Elementary School, sans informing about casualties. “How the United States administration is helping the people of Iran! This is another elementary school, Shahid Hamedani School, in Niloufar Sq., Tehran, targeted by the American/Israeli aggressors,” Esmail Baghaei stated. Sources maintained that the 7-day ME War has so far claimed lives of 1332 Iranis.
Meanwhile, Metropolitan Police had nabbed one Irani and three dual UK Iran nationals. They were interinterrogated for abetting a foreign intelligence service apropos surveillance of people and places harboring Jewish communities. Al Jazeera posted a ME-War-related video on X that shows a projectile striking near Kuwait’s Ali al-Salem Air Base, which hosts a substantial number of US forces.
Earlier, on Thursday (6th March, 2026) the US announced it was closing its embassy in the country and is reportedly evacuating its staff. According to Reuters‘s report on the 7th day of ME War: “Iranian missiles struck Bahrain’s Bapco Energies refinery in Sitra, causing a fire that has been contained with no injuries reported and refinery operations continuing.”
Anadolu reporting about the 7th day of ME War informed: “Iran uses cluster missiles in Tel Aviv attack, causing major damage. Fires, significant damage recorded in at least 3 locations in and around Tel Aviv.”Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has informed the journalists at a Presser held on 4th March, that a US submarine sank an Iranian warship a day earlier by means of a torpedo, in the Indian Ocean, and the target died a quite death.
Commenting on the Iranian warship sunk by US, Foreign Minister of Iran Seyed Abbas Araghchi stated 5th March, 2026 on X: “The U.S. has perpetrated an atrocity at sea, 2,000 miles away from Iran’s shores. Frigate Dena, a guest of India’s Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning. Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret precedent it has set.”
FM’s another post: “When complex nuclear negotiations are treated like a real estate transaction, and when big lies cloud realities, unrealistic expectations can never be met. The outcome? Bombing the negotiation table out of spite. Mr. Trump betrayed diplomacy and Americans who elected him”.
Earlier, Sri Lankan Navy responded to the SOS call from the crew of Iranian warship Iris Dena (that was harboring 180) and rescued 32 (seriously injured) personnel from life rafts floating on the water. Eighty bodies were also recovered from the ship.
IRGC NEW. Iran’s warning is clear: the U.S. attack on the frigate Dena in international waters has crossed a red line. The Islamic Republic’s naval and missile forces are disciplined, united, and fully prepared to respond. Any further aggression will be met with decisive, overwhelming, and strategically precise retaliation, showing that Tehran’s sovereignty and regional authority cannot be challenged.
Eighty year-old supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran – the man who controlled all of country (including military, judiciary, political & religious institutions) for 37 years has been neutralised in his office (along with his family members, army chif Abdul Rahim Mousavi, defence minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and) 40 other leaders, by the American-Israeli bombing on 28th Feb, 2026.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin expresses his condolences to the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian: “Please accept my deepest condolences on the assassination of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his family members, committed in cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law.
“In our country Ayatollah Khamenei will be remembered as an outstanding statesman who made an enormous personal contribution to the development of friendly Russian-Iranian relations, elevating them to the level of the comprehensive strategic partnership. Please convey my sincerest sympathy and support to the family and friends of the Supreme Leader, to the government and all the people of Iran.”
US President Donald Trump, taking to Truth Social on Sunday (1st March, 2026) morning proclaimed about Iran: “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS.
“He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country.
“We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!’
“Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated.
“The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!“
Sources have informed on 4th March, 2026 that fifty-six year old Mojtaba Hosseini, son of slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will become supreme leader of Iran. Mojtaba survived the 28th February US-Israel attack, that claimed lives of Ali Khamenei along with (family members and) top decision-makers of the establishment of Iran.
