Tehran is demanding unity and projecting strength after the confirmed killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
But Iran’s women’s national soccer team just chose silence during the anthem of the Islamic Republic.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is warning that Islamic extremists may launch lone wolf terror attacks as President Donald Trump’s administration intensifies its military campaign against the brutal Iranian regime.
Meanwhile, the FBI remains on heightened alert as U.S. forces deploy to the Middle East.
A senior FBI official said the Bureau’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) remains on high alert nationwide, with all resources prepared to respond if requested by law enforcement partners.
The White House has joined with the top Republican in the Colorado House of Representatives in condemning bills seeking to prevent any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent from joining state and local police, and to make ICE agents liable for alleged violations of constitutional rights.
“ICE officers are facing a 1300% increase in assaults because of dangerous, untrue smears by elected Democrats,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. “Recently, an officer had his finger bitten off by a radical left-wing rioter.”
“ICE officers act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities—local officials should work with them, not against them,” Jackson added. “Anyone doing otherwise is simply doing the bidding of criminal illegal aliens.”
President Trump and Israel have decapitated Iran—literally. Its ballistic missile capabilities have been severely degraded. Its political leadership was annihilated, and its military command structure was eliminated. It’s a rogue state for all intents and purposes. The world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism is no more, its nuclear weapons ambitions buried under the rubble of its dead leaders, and only the Democrats are complaining.
Even if these talks happen, it is virtually certain that the president will not lose sight of the ultimate goal, which remains to topple the Islamic regime in Iran once and for all. If the regime survives in any form, it will gather its strength and once again menace the U.S. and Israel as quickly as it possibly can. The only way to ensure peace in the region is to end this evil regime.
“‘I Have Agreed’: Trump Says Iran’s New Leaders ‘Want To Talk,’” by Mark Tanos, Daily Caller, March 1, 2026:
President Donald Trump said Sunday that Iran’s newly installed leadership wants to resume negotiations, one day after a massive U.S.-Israeli military operation killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them,” Trump told The Atlantic in a phone call from Mar-a-Lago. “They should have done it sooner. They should have given what was very practical and easy to do sooner. They waited too long.”
Trump faulted Tehran for stalling weeks of diplomatic efforts and acknowledged that several Iranian officials who participated in those discussions died in the strikes. “Most of those people are gone,” he told the magazine. “They played too cute.” He declined to specify when negotiations would begin.
If you thought The Washington Post’s infamous decision to describe ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” was a once in a lifetime lapse in editorial judgement, you were mistaken. With the death of Iran’s brutal dictatorial supreme leader, both The New York Times and The Post are back to remind you that legacy media still has no shame.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s longtime supreme leader responsible for executions, censorship, repression, and sponsoring terrorist groups worldwide, was killed in an airstrike on Saturday. His death comes weeks after his regime oversaw the execution of tens of thousands of Iranians who took to the streets to protest his very rule.
Kathmandu, Nepal – As Nepal heads for a crucial parliamentary election on March 5, the Himalayan country’s established parties are fighting not just for votes, but also for legitimacy.
That legitimacy was challenged in September last year when thousands of young Nepalis hit the streets, demanding that an ageing old guard, which has dominated Nepal’s politics for two decades, step down.
President Donald Trump stated Monday that the “big wave” of U.S. military strikes against Iran is yet to come, indicating that the most intense phase of Operation Epic Fury is imminent.
The joint U.S.-Israel military operation was launched on Saturday, targeting Iran’s military and leadership infrastructure. Under the direction of President Trump, the operation began with coordinated strikes on key Iranian sites using precision munitions from air, sea, and land platforms, including Tomahawk cruise missiles and low-cost LUCAS drones.
Key objectives of Operation Epic Fury include dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, destroying its ballistic missile capabilities, eliminating regime leadership, and achieving regime change.
In a moment few would have predicted in one of America’s most reliably Democratic strongholds, ABC7 Los Angeles reported that support for President Donald Trump is growing among some Iranian Americans following the U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader.
During a weekend broadcast, ABC7 Eyewitness News showed hundreds gathered outside the federal building in Westwood, waving American, Israeli, and pre-1979 Iranian flags. The rally came after coordinated U.S.–Israeli strikes targeted senior Iranian leadership and military infrastructure in Tehran and other key cities.
President Donald Trump declared Monday that the joint U.S.–Israeli military campaign against Iran represents “our last, best chance to strike” and eliminate what he called the “intolerable threats” posed by the regime in Tehran.
The operation, launched Saturday under the name Operation Epic Fury, has already reshaped the strategic landscape.
Major Iranian leaders were killed in the opening phase, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Trump vowed the United States will continue the campaign with “ferocious, unyielding resolve.”

EXCLUSIVE: Did you know that a historic and symbolic landmark of the nation’s capital was recently vandalized by an individual currently sought after by the FBI? If the story escaped your attention, thank the Big Four News Apps — Apple News, Google News, Microsoft’s MSN and Yahoo News — which largely ignored the attack, only featuring one article on the story over four days.
On Feb. 20, Fox News exclusively reported that the Trump-Kennedy Center had been subjected to an alleged act of vandalism after a suspect poured a “toxic,” dark substance onto an outdoor ice rink earlier that morning. The attack marked a major escalation of violence on a federal property, particularly one that holds national significance.
On Monday’s Morning Joe in the aftermath of the Strikes on Iran and Pentagon Press Conference, co-host Jonathan Lemire was fixated and seemingly rooting for a scenario where President Trump’s approval would go down if there was a prolonged war or deaths of more American Troops. Then, guest Elise Jordan, co-host of The Weekend: Primetime, naively wondered why the military and Secretary Pete Hegseth have not shared all their classified war plans with the public.
The Morning Joe hosts and panelists also had a special focus on how the actions in Iran were supposedly not “America First,” even though the President has talked about Iran not being allowed to have a nuclear weapon since the 2016 election.
A bombshell leak has allegedly exposed the membership roster of one of the most secretive elite gatherings in America, the ultra-exclusive Bohemian Grove secret society retreat in Northern California.
The leaked names read like a who’s who of political power, corporate influence, and Silicon Valley dominance.
According to the San Francisco Standard, independent journalist Daniel Boguslaw obtained what appears to be the full 2023 attendance list for the Bohemian Grove encampment, a two-week annual retreat held at the club’s 2,700-acre compound in Sonoma County.
A club member reportedly confirmed the list’s authenticity.
Watch Virginia closely. The far-left Gov. Abigail Spanberger is setting out on a path that other Democrats will follow, and that the party will roll out nationally if it wins in 2028. It is a path to authoritarian leftist control and the destruction of our freedoms. Besides the gerrymandered congressional map, she has also allowed for mail-in ballots that will allow enough fraud to keep the Democrats in power forever. Meanwhile she is lightening penalties for violent crime and forbidding local police to cooperate with ICE. This will ensure a terrorized native population and the flooding of Virginia with migrants who will further ensure the left’s total control of the state. And for the left, Virginia is just the beginning.
“5 VIRGINIA CONGRESSMEN: Democrats are rejecting voters to gerrymander our state,” by Rep. Rob Wittman, Fox News, March 2, 2026:
Virginia voters settled the redistricting question in 2020. Nearly two-thirds of Virginians amended our Constitution to create an independent redistricting commission and take map-drawing power away from politicians. The message was unmistakable: stop the gerrymander. Stop letting politicians choose their voters.
Democrats applauded that reform. House of Delegates Speaker Don Scott praised fairness and transparency. Senate President pro tempore L. Louise Lucas declared it would ensure “an equitable, transparent and bipartisan process to ensure our electoral maps are drawn fairly.” Rep. Don Beyer said plainly, “Gerrymandering is cheating. It allows politicians to select their voters, when it should be the other way around.” They were right.
In 2019, Abigail Spanberger said, “Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy. Opposing gerrymandering should be a bipartisan priority.” While running for governor, she added, “Short answer is no. I have no plans to redistrict Virginia.”
That was before she took office.

As of late Sunday, at least three U.S. military members will be coming home in caskets — among the first casualties of the Trump administration’s “regime change” campaign in Iran. There will “likely be more” to come in the days ahead, President Donald Trump warned. He said U.S. operations in Iran will continue until all of the administration’s objectives are met. The details of those objectives remained foggy Sunday.
While the days-old military operation is far from Mission Accomplished, it did check off a significant box: taking out Iran’s evil-as-poison supreme leader, or the “avuncular and magnanimous” religious scholar as the inexhaustible clown car that is the New York Times described a guy who legitimately could be likened to Adolf Hitler. Old Uncle Khamenei is dead now, and presumably checking into hotel hell (You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave).
For a third day, U.S. and Israeli forces are pounding Iran, striking more than a thousand targets across the country, including key government and military buildings in the capital. For now, the Iranian regime’s military is fighting back hard, firing missiles and launching drones in at least 11 countries, including Israel and Kuwait. Tony Dokoupil and Matt Gutman have the latest.

President Trump ordered a new offensive in Iran over the weekend, taking out top Iranian tyrants like Ayatollah Khamenei. Bizarrely, our media composed puffy obituaries for the Ayatollah and gave Iran’s foreign minister a softball platform when they all pressure each other to be ever more hostile in questioning our elected president.
MRC President David Bozell and NewsBusters Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro joined the show. Nick pointed out that over the weekend, The Washington Post ran an obituary titled: “Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, is dead at 86.” The paper warmly remembered the brutal Islamic dictator as a “avuncular figure” with an “easy smile” and a love for “Persian poetry.” Why must American press outlets swoon over our enemies like that?
The Astara Border Crossing between Iran and Azerbaijan has seen increased traffic over the last few days by foreign nations, as many continue to seek an exit from Tehran amid continued US and Israeli attacks.
The increased crossing traffic comes after the Azerbaijani government announced on Saturday that it would open the crossing to enable its nationals trapped in Iran to safely evacuate, as well as allow foreign nations to transit through.
As many as 500 Russian citizens are rumoured to have crossed into Azerbaijan as part of the new initiative, with eyewitnesses reporting seeing large groups passing security checkpoints.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine confirmed that the U.S. will redirect more military forces to the Middle East as the operation against Iran continues.
“This deployment included thousands of service members from all branches, hundreds of advanced fourth and fifth-generation fighters, dozens of refueling tankers, the Lincoln and Ford carrier strike group and their embarked air wings, sustained flow of munitions, fuel supplies, all supported with command and control intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance network,” explained Caine.
Iranian exiles in London are singing the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah. And in Iran, Iranians are chanting support of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Incredible.
When the Iranian people are finally free from the barbaric butchers who stole their country, Iran and Israel will do wondrous things together. That day, however, has not yet come. The Iranian Islamic regime is still in power, albeit drastically weakened. There is a great deal more that must be done. The celebration in London is a hint of how much could be accomplished by a partnership between Israel and a free Iran.

Israel has perhaps the most advanced missile defense system in the world. However, it is not foolproof. Some of Iran’s missiles will get through. On Sunday, that is what happened. A missile fired by Iran landed in the city of Beit Shemesh, killing nine civilians and injuring many more. May their memory be a blessing. Rest assured that the Israeli Defense Forces will avenge this loss.

The president said he doesn’t care about public opinion surveys as he defended the new war in the Middle East
US President Donald Trump has dismissed polls indicating that a majority of Americans disapprove of his decision to attack Iran.
A CNN poll suggests that 60% of Americans do not support the initial US-Israeli strikes on Iran on Saturday, while a Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that only one in four Americans approves of the attack.
“I think that the polling is very good, but I don’t care about polling. I have to do the right thing. I have to do the right thing. This should have been done a long time ago,” Trump told the New York Post in an interview published on Monday.
Believe it or not, Zohran Mamdani just did conservatives a great favor. Within weeks of taking office, he has exposed one of Democrats’ great deceptions over the past three-plus decades: that middle-class families can receive myriad government benefits and programs without having to pay more in taxes for them.
By conceding that his costly agenda may require raising taxes not only on “the rich” but the middle class, New York’s novice mayor broke one of the major taboos of left-wing politics. His proposal for a nearly 10 percent property tax hike on hard-working families epitomizes the “Kinsley gaffe,” in which a politician inadvertently speaks the truth — in this case, that the Democrat agenda necessitates massive tax increases on the middle class.

Calls for governments to push “pro-worker AI” sound appealing. The idea is simple: If policymakers deftly guide how the technology develops, they can make sure it helps workers instead of replacing them. What’s not to like?
Here’s your trouble: Technology almost never works that neatly. Its effects on jobs are usually messy, unpredictable, and shaped by millions of decisions from businesses and entrepreneurs—not by a policy plan designed in Washington.
That’s a core point in a recent critique by economist Joshua Gans of a proposal from Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, and Simon Johnson to steer AI toward worker-friendly uses. Gans says the idea runs into a basic contradiction. The proposal defines “pro-worker” technology as something that makes human capabilities and expertise more valuable. But those things are valuable partly because not everyone has them. If a new technology spreads skills more widely, it may help more workers overall—while at the same time reducing the pay advantage of those who once had rare skills.
