FBI warned of potential Iranian drone attack on US West Coast - ABC News

IRGC-affiliated Fars News reported that Israeli drones targeted multiple checkpoints across Tehran on Wednesday evening, killing several security personnel and Basij members stationed there. The report described the attacks as “terrorist” strikes.

According to Fars, explosions and clashes were reported at several locations in the capital.

An unnamed official cited by the outlet said the attacks were a joint operation by Israel’s Mossad and monarchist groups aimed at infiltrating operatives and carrying out sabotage inside the country.

Israel told the UN Security Council it is conducting strikes in Lebanon to stop attacks by Hezbollah, which it said has fired hundreds of rockets, missiles and drones at Israeli communities since early March.

Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon accused Iran of funding and directing Hezbollah, describing the group as a proxy operating in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

He warned Israel would continue military operations if Lebanese authorities do not curb Hezbollah’s activities.

The United States told the UN Security Council it strongly condemns attacks by Hezbollah against Israel and supports Israel’s right to defend itself.

US Ambassador Michael Waltz described Hezbollah as a proxy of Iran that does not represent the interests of the Lebanese people and referred to Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

He welcomed the Lebanese government’s March 2 decision to ban Hezbollah’s military activities and urged Lebanese authorities to fully implement the decision and reassert state authority across the country.

Russia told the UN Security Council that the violence in Lebanon is tied to broader regional escalation following US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

Deputy Permanent Representative Anna Evstigneeva said the military actions by the United States and Israel were pushing the Middle East deeper into instability.

She also condemned attacks on civilian and diplomatic sites and warned they risk further destabilizing the region.

An Iranian drone strike in Kuwait that killed six US service members in the early hours of the war caused far greater casualties than initially disclosed, with dozens suffering injuries including traumatic brain injuries, shrapnel wounds and burns, multiple sources told CBS News.

At least one service member may require an amputation.

Sources described a chaotic scene after the March 1 strike on a tactical operations center at Shuaiba port outside Kuwait City, where smoke quickly filled the building and complicated rescue efforts.

More than 30 service members remained hospitalized Tuesday night with battle injuries from the attack, sources said.
