So honoured to be given this award and thank you everyone for such kind messages 🙏🏽🌺 Hope we managed to do justice to those who trusted us with telling their stories & to ask the difficult questions of those who need to be held to account 💪🏽

"They came to kill us" Horrific POV footage of a brutal attack by settlers on unarmed Israeli activists - who were helping protect a Palestinian village One woman, in her 70s, had her skull fractured Settler violence - already high in the Occupied West Bank - is growing even worse, with 5 Palestinians killed in the past fortnight Meanwhile the Israeli govt is introducing new measures making it easier for settlers to buy land in the West Bank - and for the state to demolish more Palestinian homes And the army has introduced new restrictions on movement in the territory since the war with Iran began Watch our full report here: @EP_Lawrence

A resident of #Tehran #Iran told me yesterday: "People are divided into two groups. One group of people think that when the war ends, good things will happen. They think Pahlavi will take power, sanctions will be lifted, and our relations with the world will be good. That we will build a country." "But the other group think that many cities have been destroyed, many people have died, and another man has become supreme leader who is not much different from his father. Those people think that nothing good will happen when this war ends, and that there is risk of civil war and disintegration. Even if these two things don’t happen, they think that the country will become more like a dictatorship. The economy will get worse and the destroyed infrastructure will not be repaired. I am in the second group."

The world's focus is on the conflict with Iran But in the Occupied West Bank settler attacks & restrictions on Palestinians are intensifying We visited the village of Duma, its one exit / entrance has been closed off by the Israeli army Settlers standing guard tried to stop us walking in Clip from our latest report With @EP_Lawrence @Stanleigh77

Spill of oil in the sewage system has created a flowing burning river in parts of #Tehran after oil depots were bombed earlier tonight, setting the streets in the Iranian capital on fire.

The UAE Ministry of Defence has released five days of data on Iranian drone and missile attacks. Two numbers tell two different stories--collapse of ballistic missile threat, but Iran's drone campaign is not over. This is what a long-game attrition strategy looks like. 🧵

BBC Verify has pieced together verified videos, satellite imagery and expert views after a deadly attack near a primary school in Minab, souther Iran, which suggest the area was hit more than once "by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes". bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The pace of Iranian missiles being fired at Israel has been slowing under pressure from US & Israeli strikes… Iran also trying to conserve supplies in order to keep fighting as long as possible Iranian strikes on the Gulf have had a greater global impact Clip from our report With @EP_Lawrence @Stanleigh77

Mojtaba Khamenei, the hardline 56-year-old son of Iran’s late dictator and a close ally of the Revolutionary Guards, has reportedly been named Supreme Leader. He was recently injured and will likely continue to be a target of Israeli assassination attempts iranintl.com/en/202603030390

Day 4 of the war, some of the important developments overnight & this morning: - Further heavy US & Israeli strikes on Iran - Israeli ground forces now in southern Lebanon (in addition to strikes on Beirut) - US embassy in Riyadh struck by Iranian drone - Funerals taking place for victims of the strike on the school in Iran - Pretty quiet in Israel (though missile alerts just sounded again now in Tel Aviv) And if you missed it, here's our report from last night:

Gulf states are in a race against time: will their air-defense interceptors, with their impressive success rates so far, have to be rationed before Iranian drones and missiles run out? The calculation also depends on how fast the U.S. and Israel keep destroying Iranian launchers. Our analysis. wsj.com/world/gulf-sta…

🚨🚨 Former BBC correspondent in #Pakistan, @SecKermani is everywhere on Pakistani tv screens for asking Questions in #Israel. Knowing him I’m not surprised, he is one of the finest foreign correspondent. I wish in Pakistan that may our authorities admire such journalists who ask difficult questions!

“Your prime minister is a wanted war criminal. You don't have the moral high ground here at all.” Channel 4 News Foreign Affairs Correspondent @SecKermani challenges the spokesperson for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the site of an Iranian missile strike in Tel Aviv.

Day 3 of this war, some developments from overnight: - Israel bombs sites in Beirut after Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel Lebanese officials had been calling on Hezbollah not to enter the war - Further heavy US / Israeli strikes on Iran - Iran seems to successfully hit major US naval base in Bahrain… reports of US embassy in Kuwait on fire too - No major casualties in Israel

THREAD: Verified videos of the Iran/US/Israel war - 2 March The Abbasabad Police Station at Tehran's Nilufar Square has been destroyed after air strikes on Monday morning. Several adjacent buildings have also been damaged. Location: 35.7380964,51.4327227 @GeoConfirmed

Our report tonight on the conflict engulfing the Middle East - Some Iranians celebrating the death of Khamanei, despite the threat of arrest - Others taking part in pro-regime mourning ceremonies - Deadly strikes in Iran, Israel and the Gulf - Challenging exchange with Israel’s FM Spox

Confirmed by Iranian state media now

Israel claiming Ayatollah Khamanei has been killed If that’s true - What now for the Iranian regime? New leaders from within the system agreeing to a nuclear deal on US terms? Fight on and risk losing whatever control they have still have?

Terrible scene in Iran, with reports of dozens killed in a strike on a girl’s school in the south of the country No comment yet from the US / Israel
