The IDF announced it completed another wave of airstrikes on Tehran, targeting Iranian regime infrastructure sites. Further details are expected to follow. The wave is distinct from the earlier D31 overnight weapons factory strikes and continues the multi-wave per day pattern of strikes on the Iranian capital.
Tehran, IranFrench Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council over strikes targeting UN peacekeepers in Lebanon. Barrot described the incidents as 'extremely serious,' following the death of an Indonesian UNIFIL peacekeeper and multiple other UNIFIL injuries in south Lebanon on D30–D31.
United Nations, New York / South LebanonUkrainian President Zelensky announced 'historic' security cooperation accords with Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar after a Middle East tour offering Ukrainian expertise on countering Iranian-designed drones. Ukraine is also working with Jordan and Kuwait; Bahrain and Oman expressed interest. Ukraine is exporting defense systems, warrior skills, and knowledge from its four-year war with Russia.
Kyiv / Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar)Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated Hezbollah has launched 5,000 missiles, rockets and drones from Lebanon targeting Israel and Israeli forces since March 2. Hezbollah separately claimed 65 attacks in a single 24-hour period. The 5,000-projectile figure confirms Lebanon has opened a second major front in the conflict.
Lebanon / IsraelSaudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf allies have privately told President Trump that the month of US-Israeli strikes has not weakened Iran enough and are urging him to keep prosecuting the war until Tehran is decisively defeated. The plea directly contradicts Trump's 'two or three weeks' war termination signal and his 'Iran is decimated' assessment.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia / Washington DCAl Jazeera's correspondent confirmed that in the 24-hour D31 period, Israeli-US strikes were reported across multiple Iranian cities beyond Tehran: Karaj, Shiraz, Qom, Abadan, and Tabriz. The geographic spread confirms the campaign is targeting infrastructure across Iran's breadth — from the northwest (Tabriz) to the south (Abadan/Shiraz) and the religious-political center (Qom).
Shiraz / Qom / Abadan / Tabriz, IranThousands of soldiers from the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division have started arriving in the Middle East, two US officials told Reuters. The 82nd Airborne is the US military's premier rapid-deployment forced-entry unit. Its arrival expands Trump's options to include the deployment of ground forces inside Iranian territory, even as the administration pursues diplomatic talks with Tehran.
Middle East (undisclosed US bases)Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu told Newsmax the Iran war had achieved more than half its military objectives — 'beyond the halfway point' in missions, though not necessarily in time. He declined to put a schedule on the end date. Netanyahu also floated a post-war economic vision: diverting Gulf energy pipelines across Saudi Arabia to Israeli Mediterranean ports, replacing Iran's geographic chokepoint on Hormuz.
Jerusalem, IsraelA ballistic missile launched from Iran entered Turkish airspace before being shot down by NATO air and missile defenses in the eastern Mediterranean region. Turkey's Defense Ministry confirmed it was the fourth such incident since the war began. Iran has denied authorizing any of the three prior launches and asked Turkey for a joint investigation.
Eastern Turkey / Turkish airspaceAfter an emergency online meeting, G7 finance ministers and central bankers issued a joint statement pledging to take 'all necessary measures' to safeguard energy market stability and limit broader economic spillovers from the Iran war. They also called on countries to refrain from unjustified export restrictions on hydrocarbons.
Online (G7)A parliamentary committee in Iran approved a plan to impose tolls on ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz and ban transit by American and Israeli-flagged vessels. The bill requires further approval by the full Parliament. Secretary of State Rubio said such tolls would be illegal. The measure would formalize Iran's de facto Hormuz control into domestic law.
Tehran, IranSecretary of State Marco Rubio said the US must be 'prepared for the possibility, maybe even the probability' that Iran rejects US diplomatic efforts — hours after Trump expressed optimism about a deal. Rubio also undercut Trump's 'regime change achieved' framing, saying the US cannot confirm new, more reasonable people are in charge in Tehran.
Washington D.C., United StatesUS Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared on March 30 that the United States will take control of the Strait of Hormuz 'over time,' establishing freedom of navigation via US or multinational escort. Bessent also said the oil market was 'well supplied' despite the war, signalling US confidence in energy supply management.
Washington D.C., United StatesIranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said at a cabinet meeting that Iran is prepared to end the war but that any decision 'must guarantee the security and interests of the Iranian people.' He said a deal must protect Iran's 'dignity, security and interests.' The statement is Iran's clearest public signal of conditional willingness to negotiate, distinct from the FM's firmer 'unrealistic demands' rejection.
Tehran, IranUS President Trump said serious discussions with Iran about ending the war are underway and he expects a deal 'shortly,' but threatened to destroy Kharg Island and other key Iranian energy infrastructure if talks fail. The statement escalates from his FT interview framing of 'seizing' to explicit threat of destruction.
Washington D.C. / Kharg Island, IranTwo UN peacekeepers were killed after an explosion of unknown origin destroyed their vehicle near Bani Hayyan in south Lebanon on March 30. UNIFIL confirmed the deaths. The incident marks the 3rd and 4th UNIFIL peacekeepers killed in Lebanon since D30, bringing total UN deaths to at least 3 over two days. France has requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting.
Near Bani Hayyan, south LebanonSpain's Defense Minister Margarita Robles announced the closure of Spanish airspace to US military planes involved in attacks on Iran, going beyond the earlier denial of military base use. The decision forces US military aircraft to reroute around Spain. Spain called the US-Israel war 'unilateral' and 'against international law.'
Madrid, SpainIran's parliament received a fast-tracked bill proposing withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). FM spokesman Baghaei confirmed lawmakers raised the possibility while insisting Iran has not and will not seek nuclear weapons. An Iranian MP called NPT withdrawal the right moment. Bill requires parliament and Guardian Council approval.
Tehran, IranIran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei publicly rejected US ceasefire proposals, calling them 'unrealistic, illogical and excessive.' The statement directly contradicts US President Trump's Air Force One claim that Iran had given 'most of the points' on a 15-point US ceasefire plan. Iran says it received negotiation messages via intermediaries but refused the terms.
Tehran, IranAn Israeli strike on a Lebanese Army checkpoint near Tyre killed one soldier and injured others — confirmed by the Lebanese military. A military source told AFP it was the first direct targeting of a Lebanese Army position since the war began. The Lebanese Armed Forces had maintained strict neutrality throughout the conflict.
