18:09Breaking​

Saudia Arabia's energy ministry says a "limited fire" at the Ras Tanura refinery - which is run by the country's state oil company, Aramaco - has been brought under control.

The statement - shared by the Saudi Press Agency - says the refinery sustained "minor damage from falling debris" due to the interception of "two drones in the refinery's vicinity". It adds that the fire was "immediately dealt with" by emergency services, with no injuries or fatalities.

Video verified by the BBC shows a fire and large plumes of smoke billowing from the refinery.

Saudia Arabia has long hosted US and western military forces, and on Saturday its government issued a statement condemning "blatant and cowardly Iranian attacks".

These attacks were "successfully intercepted" and targeted the Riyadh Region and Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia said.

As much as one can dislike Trump, it takes a hell lot of courage to make the decision to strike Iran, knowing fully well that Islamic crazy nutcase country will respond. Iran is firing missiles everywhere. Lol

As long as it was reported by the fake stream media, it was all fake news.

As usual, only sheeple fall for the hoax

You all sheeple love your mind being shaped by the fake stream media lol

Ending up as a nutcase lol

Qatar warns ‘a price has to be paid’ for Iranian strikes​

By Eyad Kourdi

Qatar “reserves the right to retaliate” against Iran after its “blatant attack” on Qatar’s people, foreign ministry spokesperson Majid al-Ansari said, adding that Iranian strikes “cannot go unanswered” and that “a price has to be paid.”

Doha is not in contact with Iran’s government as it focuses on defending the country and protecting key infrastructure, al-Ansari told CNN’s Becky Anderson on Monday.

“As of this moment, we are not engaging with government. We are busy, as you might imagine, defending our country,” he said.

He added that Qatar has faced “more than 100 missiles and scores of drones,” and said the strikes were “targeting also civilian and commercial infrastructure.”

Asked about the risk to Gulf energy facilities after Saudi Arabia intercepted drones near an oil refinery, al-Ansari said Qatar was “gravely concerned” by attacks on non-military targets across the region. He said Qatar’s military has taken precautions to defend onshore and offshore economic facilities while Gulf leaders coordinate closely with each other and the United States.

Qatar is one of the world’s biggest gas exporters.

Iran's actions a 'dangerous escalation' - US and allied Gulf states
18:37
Breaking​

Iran's actions in the region represent a "dangerous escalation", which threatens stability in the Middle East, a joint statement from the US and six allied Gulf states says.

"Targeting civilians and non-combatant states is reckless behaviour that undermines stability," the statement - shared by Kuwait's foreign ministry - reads.

The statement - published originally in Arabic - was issued jointly by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE and the US.

They say they "reaffirm our right to self-defence" as apparent Iranian strikes around the region continue.

It says attacks have taken place in Bahrain, Iraq (including the Kurdistan Region of Iraq), Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Three US fighter jets went down “due to an apparent friendly fire incident,” US Central Command has announced.

Kuwaiti air defenses accidentally shot the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets down late Monday evening ET time.

“During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones — the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses,” the statement said. “All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.”

The cause of the incident is under investigation, according to CENTCOM. The jets were flying in support of the military operation against Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Fury.

Kuwait’s Minister of Defense said in the early hours of Monday morning that “several” US fighter jets crashed.

Qatar’s state-run energy company QatarEnergy has stopped its production of liquified natural gas following an Iranian attack on its facility in Ras Laffan on Monday, the company said in a statement shared with CNN.

The energy facility was targeted by an Iranian drone on Monday alongside another power facility in Mesaieed, south of Doha.

Qatar’s Ministry of Defence saying investigations are ongoing into the extent of the damage.

Qatar is one of the world’s largest LNG exporters, accounting for roughly 20% of global exports, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

Today’s rare Pentagon news conference is the first in several months​

By Logan Schiciano

When Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine brief reporters today, it will not only mark the first time top members of the Trump administration speak publicly about “Operation Epic Fury,” but also the first time officials have spoken formally on camera at the Pentagon in several months.

The last Pentagon press briefing was exactly three months ago, on December 2, when Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson fielded questions from a select group of primarily right-wing reporters whose outlets agreed to the Pentagon’s new press policy, which severely limits press access.

Hegseth and Caine haven’t held a news conference at the Pentagon since last June, when the officials detailed previous US strikes against Iran on three key nuclear facilities.

In January, the two officials spoke alongside President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, but that news conference took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.

The number of news conferences thus far is well below prior administrations, which regularly addressed questions from the press.

Trump gave the Iran operation order on Friday afternoon, Gen. Caine says​

By Kevin Liptak

General Dan Caine offered a detailed timeline of the operation, including the message Central Command received from President Trump as he gave the final go-ahead.

“At 15:38, 3:38pm, on Friday, February 27, the United States Central Command, through the Secretary of War, received the final go from President Trump,” Caine said.

“The president directed, and I quote, ‘Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck. Close.’”

That timeline would put Trump aboard Air Force One, en route to Texas, when he delivered the order. Trump landed in Corpus Christi, Texas, at 3:50 p.m. ET.

In his speech later that day, Trump suggested his mind wasn’t fully made up.

“We have a big decision to make,” he told a crowd in Corpus Christi, where he was promoting his energy agenda. He said the decision was “not easy,” and said Iran had long been engaged in malign behavior

US has "air superiority" over Iran, Joint Chiefs chairman says​

By Haley Britzky

The impact of the strikes in Iran has given the United States “air superiority” over the country, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said at a press briefing today.

“The combined impact of these strikes, swift, precise and overwhelming has resulted in the establishment of local air superiority. This air superiority will not only enhance the protection of our forces, but also allow them to continue the work over Iran,” Caine told reporters.

Caine also said additional US forces are continuing to flow into the region with more forces expected to arrive Monday.

“This deployment included thousands of service members from all branches, hundreds of advanced fourth and fifth generation fighters, dozens of refueling tankers, the Lincoln and Ford carrier strike group and their embarked air wings, sustained flow of munitions, fuel, supplies, all supported with command and control intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance network,” Caine said.

“And the flow of forces continues today,” he said. “In fact, Adm. (Brad) Cooper will receive additional forces even today,” referring to the commander of the United States Central Command.

CNN has reported that the US military was building up its posture in the Middle East for weeks and Caine said today it has had the intended effect to “daze and confuse” Iran. Efforts to knock out their space and cyber operations left them “without the ability to see, coordinate, or respond effectively.”
