    Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, announced on Monday, March 1st, in an interview with "Fox News": "At the beginning of the negotiations, representatives of the Islamic Republic proudly stated that they have enough materials to build 11 nuclear bombs."
    @VahidOOnLine
    Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, regarding negotiations with the Islamic Republic before the start of military operations by the U.S. and Israel, said that by the end of the second round of negotiations with the Islamic Republic, it was "very, very clear" that reaching an agreement was impossible, but we were willing to negotiate one last time and give one final opportunity in the third round of talks.
    Witkoff told Fox that the Islamic Republic wanted us to report positively to Trump, but there was nothing positive to report.
    In this interview, Witkoff stated that the Islamic Republic had emphasized during the negotiations that it would continue its enrichment activities.
    He also mentioned that they possess 460 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, which could be used to build 11 nuclear bombs. This comes as officials from the Islamic Republic claimed after the 12-day war that they did not know where the 460-kilogram stockpile of enriched uranium was.

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, told reporters regarding reports of a possible U.S. attack on a school in Iran: "If this attack was carried out by us, the Department of Defense will investigate it, and I refer you to them for answers."
    Rubio stated, "If such an event has occurred, it would be very catastrophic, but I cannot speak about the details because I have no information. I have no details on this matter, but what is clear is that the United States does not intentionally target a school."
    Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, was also questioned about this attack, which Iranian state media attributed to Israel and the U.S. He mentioned that he has seen various reports, including that the Revolutionary Guard targeted this school.
    According to Iranian media reports, on March 1, an elementary and preschool in the city of Minab in Hormozgan province was targeted in an airstrike. According to the latest statistics published in Iranian media, over 160 people have been killed in this attack.

    On Sunday, Donald Trump held separate phone calls with Kurdish leaders in Iraq to discuss the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran and potential developments following it.

    Three sources familiar with the matter told Axios that these calls are particularly significant due to the deployment of thousands of Kurdish forces along the Iran-Iraq border and their control over strategic areas that could play a role in the conflict.

    According to Axios, Trump spoke with Masoud Barzani and Bafel Talabani just one day after authorizing airstrikes, with one source describing these discussions as "sensitive." It is reported that these calls took place after months of behind-the-scenes efforts by Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Some U.S. officials believe that Israel's assessment of the Kurds' readiness to confront Iran may be overly optimistic, although they consider their field capacity to be significant. The Kurds, who govern an autonomous region in northern Iraq, could add an important ground dimension to the air campaign with experienced Peshmerga forces; however, their tense relations with Turkey could pose challenges. The White House spokesperson did not provide details about these calls.

    On the morning of Tuesday, March 3rd, the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was targeted in an attack and caught fire. The Saudi Ministry of Defense has confirmed that two drones struck the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. Earlier, media outlets reported, citing eyewitnesses, that loud explosions were heard in the city of Riyadh on the morning of Tuesday, March 3rd. Reuters, citing two informed sources, reported that after the explosion, part of the U.S. Embassy building in Riyadh caught fire. Previously, the U.S. Department of State issued a statement on Monday evening urging Americans to leave the Middle East as soon as possible due to "serious safety risks." @VahidHeadline The Associated Press reported that Saudi Arabia stated the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh was attacked by two drones, which caused "limited fire." @VahidHeadline The statement noted that this incident caused only minor material damage to the building, and due to the prior evacuation of the embassy, no casualties have been reported. @VahidOOnLine The video above has also been widely circulated regarding this issue. It may not be accurate. Another video has been circulated that seems to be incorrect.

    Financial Times: Behind the Plot to Assassinate Ali Khamenei

    Financial Times reports that the assassination of Ali Khamenei was the result of a multi-year intelligence campaign led by Israel, relying on cyber influence, big data analysis, and human resources.

    According to informed sources, nearly all traffic cameras in Tehran had been hacked for years, with their images encrypted and sent to servers in Tel Aviv and southern Israel. One of the cameras had a key angle that allowed analysts to monitor the parking locations of the guards' vehicles and the daily routines around Pasteur Street.
    Advanced algorithms, by adding data such as the guards' home addresses, shift hours, commuting routes, and individuals under protection, completed what intelligence officers refer to as a "lifestyle pattern."

    Sources in the report say that Israel, in addition to relying on these real-time data streams, was able to disrupt some components of about a dozen mobile phone towers near the meeting location; so that calls appeared "busy" and potential alerts did not reach the protection team. An Israeli intelligence official stated, "We knew Tehran like Jerusalem; when you know a place like your childhood street, you notice the smallest thing out of the ordinary."

    According to the Financial Times, this "dense information picture" was the result of the work of Israel's Unit 8200, the network of human resources from Mossad, and massive data analysis within the military intelligence apparatus. "Social network analysis" was used to identify decision-making centers and generate a list of targets. A retired Israeli general said, "In Israeli intelligence culture, producing targeted intelligence is the most critical tactical issue; if a political decision is made to eliminate someone, we provide the target intelligence."

    During last year's 12-day war, Israel simultaneously targeted nuclear scientists and senior commanders, using a combination of cyberattacks, short-range drones, and precision munitions to destroy the radars of Russian-made missile systems. An intelligence official said, "First, we took out their eyes." In the recent operation, precision missiles from the "Sparrow" family were also used, capable of hitting very small targets from over a thousand kilometers away.

    More than half of the current and former Israeli intelligence officials have told FT that killing Khamenei was a political decision. A joint assessment by the U.S. and Israel indicated that he was meeting with a group of senior officials in his office around Pasteur on Saturday morning; an opportunity that might have been lost after the official start of the war, as it was expected that Iranian officials would go to deep shelters and pre-designed escape routes.

    According to two sources, the attack plan had been prepared for months, but the timing was adjusted after the confirmation of the Saturday morning meeting. Israeli doctrine states that for a target of this level of importance, two independent senior officers must confirm the presence of the target and his companions with "high confidence." In addition to the signal data (hacked cameras and mobile network), sources say the Americans had a "very specific" human source who confirmed the timing and presence of individuals. This allowed fighters to launch about 30 precision munitions in daylight - to achieve "tactical surprise."

    Sima Shine, a former Mossad official, considers two events pivotal: Ariel Sharon's 2001 order to the then-head of Mossad to prioritize Iran and the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, which Israel claims was conducted with Iranian support and changed the old calculation regarding the "red line" of assassinating foreign leaders.
    At the same time, Iran has also taken retaliatory actions; from infiltrating cameras in Jerusalem to assess damages to purchasing images of missile defense systems and even tracking a politician's running route by bribing Israeli citizens.

    The report concludes by noting that more details may never be made public, but the combination of cyber infiltration, data analysis, and human resources over two decades laid the groundwork for a decision that is more than a technical achievement; it is a political choice with strategic consequences.
