Heavy explosions have been reported across Tehran as the Israeli military continues to bombard the Iranian capital. The Israeli military says it is targeting infrastructure of the regime, without specifying what. Elsewhere the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain all reported missile or drone attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will "hold off" attacks on Iranian gas fields after being asked to by US President Donald Trump.

The only thing I know for certain is that my bank account is weaker than it's ever been. I don't need to be fed propaganda to see that.

"Netanyahu said" just means it's not true. Same with Trump.

I’m just waiting for this murderous tyrant to step foot in a country that will enforce the arrest warrant issued for him.

It is clear that Netanyahu’s picture was noticeably blurry, while the reporter on the right side appeared sharp in contrast. The conference was also held virtually. On March 9, when Netanyahu was reported dead, Trump’s demeanor changed. He no longer mentioned Netanyahu by name, instead referring only to “Israel.” Netanyahu later stated that he was alive, with everyone witnessing—but this was during a virtual press conference that no one attended.
