@GeovoxNews_ The US keeps saying everything will be fine, but its actions say otherwise. It keeps putting pressure on Iran, dismissing its demands, and issuing threats. So how can anyone expect things to get better?

@HormuzLetter Too much aggression, too little strategy. The American people deserve better..

@HormuzLetter If the US knows Iran's seven conditions, accepting them and ending this war could be the best path forward. Peace should come before politics.

"WAR’S HIDDEN COST: 1.5 MILLION TONS OF CO₂ RELEASED", IRAN SAYS

Iran says U.S. and Israeli strikes on its fuel facilities released an estimated “1.5 MILLION TONS” of carbon dioxide, according to Tasnim News.

Around “500,000 TONS” came from attacks on fuel facilities in Asaluyeh. Another “1 MILLION TONS” reportedly came from strikes on fuel tanks near Tehran.

Iran’s president warned that war can cause lasting environmental damage, with effects that may last for generations. He presented these figures at the UN climate conference.

The attacks also raised concerns over "BLACK RAIN" in Tehran, after oil fires sent thick smoke and soot into the air. Human Rights Watch reported that four oil depots were hit on March 7, 2026, raising concerns about long-term environmental and health impacts.

@HormuzLetter Of course Iran won’t give it up. Why should it? This uranium is Iran’s own national resource, and Iran intends to use it for its own needs.

BREAKING: “TRUMP AND NETANYAHU HAVE LOST THE POLITICAL POWER TO CONTINUE THE WAR” — REZAEI CLAIMS.

Iran’s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Rezaei, says Trump and Netanyahu no longer have the necessary political support to continue a military war against Iran. He claims any new conflict could last no more than “3 TO 5 DAYS,” per Tasnim.

Rezaei also claims that Iran has captured “7 US DRONES” by taking control of them in the air and bringing them down. He further claims Iran has captured “TWO ADVANCED SUBMARINES” capable of operating at depths of up to 6,000 meters.

On uranium enrichment, Rezaei says Iran will NOT send any “ENRICHED URANIUM” outside its territory, including to Russia. He says Iran needs it for NUCLEAR-POWERED SHIPS AND SUBMARINES.

@HormuzReport This is a serious warning. Europe needs to think carefully before allowing its bases to be used for attacks on Iran.

[Middle East Prime Report @MiddleEastPrime]

Iran has made its position clear. Why should it give up uranium enrichment when it considers it an important part of its national security? If the U.S. were asked to give up its own strategic resources, would it agree? I doubt it.
Every country has the right to protect its national interests and security. That principle should apply to Iran as well.

@WarMonitor3 How can this war end if both sides keep rejecting each other's proposals? Without compromise, peace will remain out of reach.
