‘Too Late’: Trump Rebuffs Tehran Regime’s Request for Talks

Trump Rejects Islamic Republic Request for Talks: President Donald Trump said of Iran on March 3, “Their air defense, Air Force, Navy, and Leadership is gone. They want to talk. I said, ‘Too Late!’” In a separate interview with Politico the same day, Trump asserted that Iran is “running out of launchers” for its ballistic missiles. “They’re running out and they’re running out of areas to shoot them,” he stated. “Because they’re being decimated.” IDF Strikes Targets Across Iran: The Israeli military said on March 3 that it had attacked “sites used by the regime to produce weapons, with an emphasis on ballistic missile production sites” in Tehran. The IDF also reportedly struck “the building that hosts the body of religious experts whose primary role is to select Iran’s new supreme leader.” Clashes With Hezbollah Intensify: The IDF also announced “extensive strikes on infrastructures of the Hezbollah terrorist organization” in Lebanon since Hezbollah “chose to join the campaign [against Israel] and act on behalf of Iran.” The IDF said one of its strikes eliminated Daoud Ali Zada, deputy commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF), “the highest-ranking Iranian commander responsible for Iranian operations in Lebanon.”
