Trump confirms CIA briefed him Iran's new supreme leader Khamenei is gay — politically explosive in Iran's theocracy

Trump confirmed in a Fox News interview that the CIA briefed him that Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is gay, first reported by the NYPost on March 16. Trump: 'They did say that... I think a lot of people are saying that, which puts him off to a bad start in that particular country.' Homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death in Iran. The CIA assessment reportedly included that Khamenei's slain father Ali feared his son's sexuality made him unsuitable to replace him as supreme leader.

Officials: Trump leaning toward Iran ground invasion — concedes 15-point plan will fail, Kharg op underway

Officials from two mediating countries told TOI that Trump appears to be leaning toward ordering a major US ground operation against Iran, convinced Tehran will capitulate. The US privately concedes Iran is unlikely to accept the 15-point plan. Separately, WSJ reported the Pentagon is weighing deploying an additional 10,000 ground troops to the Middle East to expand Trump's military options. Thousands already pre-positioned toward Kharg Island. Both mediating officials say Iran will not capitulate regardless of a ground operation, but will now accept terms it refused before the war.

IDF Chief Zamir warns military will 'collapse in on itself' — raises 10 red flags over manpower crisis

IDF Chief Zamir raised '10 red flags' at security cabinet warning IDF will 'collapse in on itself.' Central Command chief Bluth separately warned that West Bank settlement approvals require growing security coverage: 'This is your policy but it requires security and manpower.' Opposition Leader Lapid called it 'the most severe warning in 13 years on security cabinets.' Former PM Bennett: 'The IDF is 20,000 soldiers short. There are 100,000 Haredim of military age — if only a fifth were recruited, there would be no problem. The political echelon prevents the IDF from winning anywhere — not in Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran.'
