In a phone conversation a short while ago, President Trump stopped short of saying Iran has violated the ceasefire. Regarding the Iranian drone and missile attacks on UAE today: “They were shot down for the most part,” Trump told me. “One got through. Not huge damage.” Regarding the Iranian attack on a South Korean ship: “We're going to look into it. Shots were fired at a South Korean ship, and I think South Korea should take some action. ... This was a South Korean ship riding by itself. It was not an escorted ship."

In a call with reporters just now, Adm. Brad Cooper of @CENTCOM says Iran has opened fire on U.S. warships and commercial vessels today, but declines to say whether the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is over. U.S. forces returned fire and destroyed some Iranian small boats.

🚨🇮🇷🇦🇪 A major fire is burning in Fujairah's Oil Industry Zone after an Iranian drone strike on one of the Gulf's most critical energy hubs. Civil defence teams are on the ground now. Fujairah handles a massive share of regional oil and gas flows. If Iran is willing to strike UAE infrastructure directly, the Gulf states can no longer pretend they're sitting this one out.

This image is currently being shared as evidence of reported attacks against the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone today. While UAE officials have confirmed the attack, this photo that is currently being shared is from early March, not now.

⏱️ It's now the 66th consecutive day of #Iran's internet blackout with the censorship measure surpassing 1560 hours. Despite the distribution of some international access via pro-regime channels, metrics confirm that there is still no restoration of service to the general public.

Iran’s IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Forces) Navy has published a map of the “new area” of the strategic Strait of Hormuz “controlled and managed” by the armed forces of Iran.

Iran has today executed a man accused of involvement in the killing of a security officer during the 2022 nationwide protests. Mehrab Abdollahzadeh is one of at least 20 political prisoners executed since 28 February, when the war between Iran, the US and Israel started.

⌛️ Metrics show the #Iran internet blackout has entered its 65th day after 1536 hours amid growing concern over human rights situation in the country. While whitelisting and privileged access are in place for a select few the general public remain cut off from the outside world.
