ABC joined CBS, CNN, Fox, NBC and virtually every other news organization in declining to sign a new requirement by the Pentagon that would have put unprecedented restrictions on how we report the news. So I won't be in the hallways, but I will be on Signal at AnneFlaherty.98

That a KC-135 refueling tanker went down in western Iraq is particularly concerning because these types of planes are not equipped with parachutes and do not have ejection seats, which are primarily in fighter aircraft A minimum of three crew members would have been on board
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM

U.S. Central Command is aware of the loss of a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft. The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing. Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely. This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

Trump then concludes that he'll wait for the results of the investigation into the school bombing, which sources tell me involve several federal agencies. "I'm willing to live with that report," Trump says.

Trump adds that the school strike is under investigation. "But Tomahawks are are used by others," he adds. "As you know, numerous other nations have tomahawks. They buy them from us." The US has never sold Tomahawks to Iran, which cost $2.5M a piece

REPORTER: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk missile and bombed its own elementary school ... But you're the only person in your government saying this ... Why? Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it." 🧵

In a lengthy phone interview, President Trump marveled at the success of the military operation against Iran and expressed no concern about what comes next. "I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?" I said nobody questions the success of the military operation, the concern is what happens next. "Forget about next," he answered. "They are decimated for a 10-year period before they could build it back."

In another phone call this evening, President Trump told me this about the death of Ayatollah Khamenei: "I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well I got him first." That’s a reference to what US intelligence believes was a plot to kill Trump in 2024.

3 US service members killed, 5 seriously wounded in Pentagon’s operation in Iran
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM

CENTCOM Update TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury. Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing. The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

Secretary Hegseth puts out his first statement of the day Says the U.S. will destroy Iran’s missiles, missile production and its navy
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar

Overnight, on President Trump’s orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY — the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history. The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences. For almost fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to further their radical cause. Last night, unlike any previous president, President Trump began dealing with this cancer. We will not tolerate powerful missiles targeting the American people. Those missiles will be destroyed, along with Iran’s missile production. The Iranian navy will be destroyed. And, as President Trump has said his entire life, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it. If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world — as Iran has — then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you. Our warriors are the best in the world, and they are fully unleashed to achieve our objectives. May God’s providence protect them in this vital mission.

Trump to @rachelvscott just now if the Supreme Leader is dead: "we believe so."  "I don't want to say anything definitely until I see things but we believe he is. And much of their leaders are gone … We had great intelligence and so we think much of leadership is gone."

Bahrain’s state-run news agency said the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters was targeted in a missile attack by Iran It's not clear though whether that attack was successful, with US officials describing what is happening now as a very dynamic situation
