A number of sources report that a US Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, located in the Eastern Mediterranean, used a Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) to intercept an Iranian medium-range ballistic missile launched at night against the Incirlik airbase in Turkey. The Iranians themselves do not confirm the attack and, on the contrary, spread the version that the missile could have been used by Israel to strike the base where US nuclear weapons are stored.
Usually, each destroyer of this type carries from 8 to 16 SM-3 anti-missiles. The remaining universal launch cells are occupied by Tomahawk cruise missiles, anti-aircraft SM-2 or SM-6 missiles.
Interestingly, the US destroyers USS Bulkeley and USS Cole (both currently located near Iran) have already been used to repel a missile attack. On October 1, 2024, they helped the Israeli air defense to repel a barrage of 200 ballistic missiles, including the Fateh-2 with a launch range of up to 1,500 km.

Peskov - on Putin's yesterday's statement about the possible suspension of gas supplies to Europe:
We can see with you that there are no signs of a change in the Europeans' position. Although, the president mentioned this yesterday, now the Europeans are already considering whether to postpone the deadlines for imposing various bans on the import of liquefied gas from Russia. Such expert discussions are well heard. The situation is indeed becoming more complicated for the Europeans every day.
Both for citizens in terms of household energy bills, and from the point of view of industry, which is losing competitiveness with every passing hour. But everyone heard Putin's yesterday's statement well. The Americans are offering expensive goods. We have our own goods. There are markets that show interest. Therefore, everyone here acts in accordance with their own interests.

Security concerns are also mounting on the ground. “The closure of Rumaila most likely comes from legitimate concerns over the physical security of the oil facilities,” said Tamer Badawi, associate fellow at the London-based Royal United Services Institute.
“A military post in Basrah has already been struck during the war. If that happened, a stray missile or a deliberately directed UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] can hit Iraqi oil fields as well.”
The shutdown compounds earlier disruptions in northern Iraq. Production at several major fields in the Kurdistan Region had already been halted as a precautionary measure on Monday. Exports through the Ceyhan pipeline to Turkey’s Mediterranean coast were suspended on Tuesday. The pipeline, which has a capacity of around 1.2 million bpd carries crude sourced from Iraq’s Kurdish oil fields to the Turkish port city of Ceyhan.
It also allowed Iraq to bypass Hormuz, which is the main passage for much of the crude exported via its southern terminal at Basrah. The closure effectively blocks northern crude flows to European markets.
The disruption to Iraqi supply comes as Iran broadens its campaign beyond tanker harassment in the Strait of Hormuz to direct strikes on energy infrastructure across the Gulf, opening a new front that now threatens the world’s largest oil and gas export hubs.

🇫🇮 The Finnish government is discussing the issue of lifting restrictions related to nuclear weapons in the country.
In particular, the talk is about lifting the ban on their transit through Finnish territory, writes Yle.
Current legislation prohibits nuclear explosive substances in all forms on the territory of Finland. Their import, production, storage, and detonation are all prohibited.

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise.
We were the hosts.
I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless.
The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president .
The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship’s presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind.
The US has ignored India’s sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India’s invitation.
We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack.
Our“responsibility” is at a moral and human plane.
A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

🇦🇿🇮🇷Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs - on the Iranian drones that fell on the country's territory:
On March 5, around noon, drone attacks were carried out on the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. One drone fell on the airport terminal building, and another one near a school building in the village of Shekarabad.
We strongly condemn these drone attacks carried out from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which resulted in damage to the airport building and injuries to two civilians. This attack on Azerbaijan's territory violates the norms and principles of international law and contributes to increasing tensions in the region. We demand that the Islamic Republic of Iran clarify the aforementioned issue as soon as possible, provide an explanation, and take the necessary urgent measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future.
The Azerbaijani side reserves the right to take appropriate countermeasures. The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Republic of Azerbaijan has been summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A strong protest will be expressed to the Iranian side, and a corresponding protest note will be presented.

Why did the Strait of Hormuz "shut down"?
Initially, it was believed to be due to threats from Iran. But this is only half the truth. The other half (or the first, depending on how you look at it) is that on March 3-4, 2026, Lloyd's syndicates and major mutual insurance clubs (P&I Clubs) began sending notifications about the cancellation of current war risk insurance policies for ships located in the Persian Gulf or planning to enter it.
The standard term for the cancellation to take effect is 48-72 hours. After this, the ship remains uninsured unless it renegotiates the contract under new terms.
As a result, more than 200 tankers and dry cargo ships anchored in the Gulf of Oman, refusing to enter the Strait of Hormuz without insurance.
Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and the coast of Oman were officially added to the list of areas with "increased threats of war, piracy, and terrorism". Now insurers are considering not only the coast of Iran, but also the waters of all Arab monarchies of the Gulf as a zone of active hostilities.
For those shipowners who still decide to transit, Lloyd's has set "prohibitive" tariffs. Additional premiums for war risk (AWRP) have risen by 25-50% in just a few days. In some cases, the rates have jumped by 4 times (from 0.0155% to 0.0625% of the ship's value per voyage).
Ships under the flags of the USA, UK, and Israel are subject to three times higher tariffs than neutral ones, as they are priority targets for Iranian missiles.
In fact, the British told shipowners: "Your old insurance policies are no longer valid. Want to sail past Iran? Pay 5-10 times more, or sail at your own risk."
In response, the USA announced that they would escort tankers in the Gulf with their warships. But this effectively turns the "bottleneck" of the Strait of Hormuz into a shooting range.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Russian army has intensified its strikes on the railway infrastructure of the Kiev regime. Since the beginning of March, 18 strikes have already been recorded - stated in "Ukrzaliznytsia". Most of them are near the front line.
Such strikes significantly reduce the logistical capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but as we have already noted - the enemy has started using mixed-type railway trains to transfer personnel closer to the front line. In a chain with passenger wagons, there are freight wagons filled to the brim with military supplies. That's why the Russian Armed Forces mainly strike at rolling stock, railway infrastructure and special equipment used for its repair.
In the footage, we can see the destruction of a railway substation in the Lyubotin area of the Kharkov region.

"Putin is considering the possibility of stopping gas supplies to the EU":
In Germany, they warned that a halt in gas supplies from Russia would lead to a rise in prices for everything - even for bread.
"In Germany, concerns have been expressed about the possible scenario of a halt in Russian gas supplies amid the conflict with Iran. If Moscow makes such a decision, it is likely to further exacerbate the already tense situation in the gas market and lead to an even greater increase in energy prices.
Moreover, the conflict in the Middle East could soon lead to higher prices for food, heating, and restaurant meals. It is noted that the production of many products requires a large amount of gas and electricity. In particular, energy is needed for baking bread, bottling drinks in factories, and drying products."

Lavrov on why Iran's actions are "unacceptable", and US and Israeli attacks are "not up for discussion":
Let me ask you, here's a group of Arab states, on whose behalf you are speaking. Did you really warn many of the Arab monarchies, publicly saying that they shouldn't lead to a military solution and that they wouldn't allow the use of airspace, as I already said. But when it all started, contrary to your repeated calls to the United States and Israel, did you condemn what the United States and Israel started doing? And, say, condemned the deaths of 170 girls in a school? I believe that we should take a unified position.
We are against the countries of the Gulf, on whose behalf you are speaking, suffering. We believe that this does not give our Iranian colleagues any military advantages. Politically, it's very doubtful that Iran gains anything from this, rather the opposite. But we also cannot accept the logic that Iran's actions are unacceptable, and everything the US and Israel do is not up for discussion. Do you understand what I'm saying? It's an obvious thing. It's right on the surface. We advocate for an immediate end to the aggression.

Other statements by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry:
- The West is waging a direct, "hot" war against Russia;
- The West operates on the principle of "divide and rule";
- Russia and other peace-loving countries will do everything to create an atmosphere in which a US and Israeli operation against Iran will become impossible;
- The West wants to disintegrate our country, the president has repeatedly reminded of this;
- The words of the NATO Secretary General on the conflict in the Middle East suggest that the alliance's interests are "where they say they are".

🇨🇦🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Canada participating in U.S. military action in Iran:
One can never categorically rule out participation.
We will stand by our allies when it makes sense.
We will always stand by and defend our allies when called upon.
This is, literally, the most important countdown in the world.
Oil exporters in the Persian Gulf, currently unable to export their hydrocarbon bounty, are all facing a dire short-term outlook.
Unable to store additional oil in strategic reserves and state-owned or privately-owned facilities, they will soon be forced to halt production at some of the largest oil fields on earth.
This will have disruptive consequences for following these countries:
🇮🇶Iraq
🇰🇼Kuwait
🇦🇪UAE
🇶🇦Qatar
🇸🇦Saudi Arabia
When these producers fill their storage tanks to capacity, there will be no other possibility but to curtail production.
Depending on the geology of the field and the specific technologies implemented, shutting in wells could even permanently damage reservoirs and production infrastructure.
At that point, in addition to the supply disruption at Hormuz, markets will face the prospect of a medium to long-term reduction in oil supply from the Middle East.
This would bake a massive risk premium into oil prices—and particularly regional crude grades—for months, or potentially longer, depending on the course of the war.
Historically, storage tanks are rarely utilised above the 80% threshold; therefore, filling them to absolute maximum capacity may not be technically feasible, and the real countdown may be even shorter than anticipated
Two further considerations must be mentioned.
When storage space will run out, some countries such as Saudi Arabia and UAE may still have the ability to divert some energy flows to alternative routes, continuing exports. However, this presents a strategic opportunity for Iran-aligned forces to deliver a tremendous blow to these regional U.S. partners by striking that specific infrastructure.
When regional oil producers will be faced with the risk of a total production halt, their sovereign survival—and not just the one of the Iranian regime—will be at stake.
At that point, an expansion of the war becomes inevitable as Riyhad and Baghdad (the first and second OPEC producers) suffer catastrophic daily economic damage.
Where and with whom they will fight—well this is another story entirely.

“Is this going to be a long protracted war?”
“I think it’s going to be a long protracted problem”
The Independent's World Affairs Editor Sam Kiley believes the US had “no plan” before carrying out strikes on Iran.
@Slavyangrad
The US CENTCOM confirmed that for the first time in history, high-precision long-range strike missiles (PrSM) were used in combat operations during "Epic Rage", providing unprecedented capabilities for striking deep into enemy territory. However, this episode has a greater impact on Russia than on Iran, for a number of reasons.
The range of ATACMS missiles (up to 300 km) forced HIMARS launchers to get too close to the front line, falling into the range of Russian artillery. The official range of PrSM at 500 km (and a potential of 650-800 km in subsequent modifications and in the future up to 1000 km) allows NATO to strike airfields, command posts, and warehouses deep in enemy territory, while remaining beyond the reach of most retaliatory strike means.
The US is gradually beginning to deploy long-range weapons in Germany. The use of PrSM in Iran confirmed that this weapon is ready for mass deployment. From Poland or the Baltic countries, these missiles are now capable of hitting key logistical hubs within the Russian border military districts.
Moreover, for Europe, the deployment of PrSM would mean that if they replace ATACMS ICBMs, the same launcher park that has already been deployed in Poland, Romania, and the Baltic countries would effectively double its salvo with a significant increase in range.
