The staff of Kayhan Life extends its warmest wishes for a very happy Nowruz to all our readers, marking the arrival of the Persian New Year at the exact moment it begins in 2026-Friday, March 20 (spring equinox) at 7:46 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Observed for more than three millennia across Iran and much of the region, Nowruz is an ancient celebration of renewal that coincides with the start of spring and symbolizes the rebirth of nature, the restoration of balance, and the hope of a peaceful year ahead. #nowruzpirooz🌷🌱 #kayhanlife

Today, in the latest desperate killing spree, the bloodthirsty regime took the lives of five more sons of Iran. Saleh Mohammadi, Saeed Davoudi, Mehdi Ghasemi, Danial Keramati, and Mohsen Azimnia join the long line of Iranian heroes who paid the ultimate price for freedom. Their names will be spoken alongside all those who refused to kneel before tyranny. The remnants of the Islamic Republic can never extinguish the fire in the hearts of our people. These young men now belong to the free Iran that is now within reach. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Their dream will not die. Iran will be free.

The #FBI seized multiple domains linked to Iranian intelligence that were actively used to facilitate cyberattacks, post stolen data, and call for the killing of regime dissidents and U.S. residents.

Israel reportedly just eliminated Mohammad Khosravani — the judge who signed the death sentence of Iranian wrestler Navid Afkari, whose 2020 execution shook the world and became a symbol of the regime’s cruelty toward its own people. Tonight, Israel's message to the Iranian people could not be more clear: They have avenged the death of Navid Afkari.

ISRAELI PM NETANYAHU: “Despite the fake news that is unfortunately being spread since the start of the war 20 days ago, we are winning, and Iran is being decimated.” “Iran's missile and drone arsenal is being massively degraded and will be destroyed. Hundreds of their launchers have been destroyed, their stockpiles of missiles are being hit hard, and so are the industries that produce them.” “In Rising Lion, we destroyed missiles, and we destroyed a lot of the nuclear infrastructure. But what we're destroying now are the factories that produce the components to make these missiles and to make the nuclear weapons that they're trying to produce. We're wiping out their industrial base in a way that we didn't do before.”

Qatar Declares Iranian Embassy Military, Security Attaches "Persona Non Grata" Doha | March 18, 2026 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs delivered an official note to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the State, stating that Qatar considers both the military attache and the security attache at the embassy, in addition to the staff of the two attache offices "persona non grata", and requests that they leave the country within a maximum period of (24) hours. This came during a meeting held Wednesday between HE Director of Protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ibrahim Yousif Fakhro, and HE Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the State Ali Salehabadi. The ministry explained that this decision comes in response to repeated Iranian targeting and the blatant aggression against the State of Qatar, which violated its sovereignty and security, in a flagrant breach of the principles of international law, United Nations Security Council Resolution No. (2817), and the principles of good neighborliness. The ministry stressed that the continuation of this hostile approach by the Iranian side will be met with additional measures by the State of Qatar, in a manner that ensures the protection of its sovereignty, security, and national interests. The ministry affirmed that the State of Qatar reserves the right to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and security, in accordance with the provisions of international law. #MOFAQatar
