Iranian sailor killed on Dena told father US warned ship before strike
4 hours ago
An Iranian sailor who was killed when the warship Dena was struck by the US near Sri Lanka had called his father shortly beforehand,saying American forces had issued two warnings for the crew to abandon the vessel, a source close to the family told Iran International.
The Iranian navy warship's commander refused to allow the crew to abandon Dena despite the imminent threat, the source added.
The sailor’s father said some crew members argued with the commander,and the 32 crew members who survived were mainly sailors who managed to escape on lifeboats, according to the source.
A US submarine torpedoed Dena in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday, about 19 nautical miles from the southern Sri Lankan port of Galle, killing dozens of sailors and significantly expanding Washington’s campaign against Iran’s naval forces.
The sinking of the Dena — described by US War Secretary Pete Hegseth as a “quiet death” — marked thefirst time since World War II that the United States had torpedoed an enemy warship, underscoring the widening geographic reach of the conflict with Iran.
An internal US State Department cable dated March 6 seen by Reuters said the US urged Sri Lankan authorities not to return the 32 surviving sailors from Dena and the 208 sailors Sri Lanka rescued from naval auxiliary ship IRIS Booshehr.

UAE President Angrily Labels Iran as Enemy After Continuous Attacks
Foreign
08 Mar 2026 00:13 GMT+7
The President of the United Arab Emirates issued awarning to Iran, stating that his country is not an easy victim and referred to Iran as an "enemy" after repeated attacks.
On 7 Mar 2026 GMT+7, President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) warned Iran that his country "is not an easy victim," calling Tehran an "enemy"following multiple Iranian attacks on the UAE since the conflict began the previous week.
President Al Nahyan, known as MBZ, saidhe "wants to send a message to the UAE’s enemies."
"The UAE is beautiful and a model to follow,but I tell you, do not be deceived by that image," MBZ said during a visit to a hospital treating civilians injured in Iranian attacks."The UAE's hand is strong and can reach far. Our flesh is bitter, and we are not easy victims to be chewed."
MBZ’s statement, the first since the conflict began, was released shortly after the UAE’s air defense systems countered Iranian missile threats,while the Iranian president recently said attacks on Gulf countries would cease if Iran was not attacked first.
"We are fulfilling our duty to serve the nation, our people, and all residents among us. May God protect the UAE, its people, and everyone in the country and grant them security and safety,"MBZ added. "I promise you that what is to come will show we are stronger."
Since the conflict erupted on 28 Feb, the UAE has reported more than 1,200 attacks from Iran, including missiles and drones, resulting in at least 3 deaths and over 100 injuries, causing damage to infrastructure in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Most recently, on Saturday 7 Mar 2026 GMT+7, the UAE reported responding to Iranian "missile and drone" attacks, despite Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stating earlier that day Iran would not attack neighboring countries "unless attacked first."

Iran has released the beast that the world has not seen for a long time. The UAE is showing their FAFO stature.
A drone attack targeted Dubai International Airport on Saturday as President Masoud Pezeshkian issued an apology to neighboring countries over Iran’s recent attacks.

Ayatollah Mozaffari, a member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, expressed hope that a session to choose the country’s next supreme leader will take place within the next 24 hours, while stressing that no official meeting has yet been held and no decision has been made.
Informed sources earliertold Iran International that the Assembly of Experts' meeting to announce Mojtaba Khamenei as the new leader was held on Saturday, with at least 14 members boycotting the session.
The meeting took place after the Assembly’s session on Friday — convened to present the candidate favored by theRevolutionary Guard — was left unfinished due to concerns over a possible US and Israeli attack.

Lindsey Graham’s Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran
Few others in the president’s ear argued for attack as effectively as the South Carolina senator.1/3
As Lindsey Graham tried to sell Donald Trump on bombing Iran, he liked to play a little word-association game with the president.
“I say Franklin Roosevelt, what do you say?” the Republican senator from South Carolina asked. The correct answer: “You have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
As he ticked through memorable presidential phrases, Graham asked Trump what his phrase would be. Trump said he didn’t know, Graham recalled. “Keep protesting, help is on the way,” Graham suggested, referring to Trump’s social-media post in January urging Iranians to confront their government.
Few people lobbied Trump to undertake the riskiest gambit of his presidency as effectively as the hawkish and persistent Graham, who over a decade has held a sometimes close, sometimes tumultuous relationship with Trump.
Some Democrats and even Republicans point the finger at Graham, who they think goaded Trump into a Middle East conflict with little plan for how the situation will play out long term.
“Lindsey hasn’t seen a fist fight he hasn’t wanted to turn into a bombing raid,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R., Tenn.).Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) said there should be a law passed on how often Graham goes to the White House or golfs with Trump. Graham’s effort to pull MAGA toward regime change was “the quintessential political maneuvering beyond all political maneuvering,” Paul said.
Sitting in his Senate office this week with canisters of Planters peanuts and hundreds of scattered papers on his desk and signed MAGA hats on his shelves,Graham was almost giddy about persuading Trump to bomb Iran. One of the newer hats reads “Make Iran Great Again.”“What are they going to do to me?”he said of critics who opposed his efforts.
The senator said he was already talking with Trump about further military interventions in Lebanon and potentially Cuba, which he said would happen soon. He wasn’t particularly concerned about what was next in Iran, he said.
The day after the attack began, Graham told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that thegoal of the Iran operation “is to change the threat, not the regime,” adding that the U.S. wouldn’t pick Iran’s next leader.
“They say if you break it, you own it. I don’t buy that. You break it when it’s a threat,” Graham said in the Journal interview.
In the White House,some military advisers warned Trump against the conflict, a group that Graham referred to as the “non-entanglement crowd.” Graham said betting on Trump’s second term was worth it for the president’s military interventions alone.
In the first term, Graham said, Trump probably wouldn’t have bombed Iran. He didn’t have as much confidence in the military and as much knowledge about how the world worked, he said. “Second-term Trump has different instincts than first-term Trump,” Graham said.
Other Republican presidents wouldn’t have greenlighted the Iran operation either, he said, something that he keeps reminding Trump of.

2/3
Graham said that Trump, with U.S. forces having captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and now bombed Iran, is more inclined to undertake further interventions. “That’s something that people don’t understand, how much more confident he is,”Graham said.
To help make the case on Iran,Graham traveled several times to Israel in recent weeks, meeting with members of the country’s intelligence agency. “They’ll tell me things our own government won’t tell me,” he said.He spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, coaching him on how to lobby the president for action. Netanyahu showed the president intelligence that persuaded Trump to go ahead, Graham said.
Graham alsotalked to the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, to make sure he was aware. “I went to MBS to say, ‘OK, I think this is going down.’ ”
Representatives from the embassies of Israel and Saudi Arabia didn’t provide comment. White House press secretary Karoline Leavittsaid Trump often hears from lawmakers and has a good and candid relationship with Graham. “Republicans are unanimously supportive of President Trump’s bold decision to launch combat operations and end the threat posed by the Iranian terrorist regime,” she said.
_Graham’s long game__
Graham has long wanted regime change in Iran but has never had a president willing to go as far as Trump. In 2015, Trump famously read Graham’s cellphone number on stage, after Graham called him a jackass. Graham sharply criticized Trump over the riot by Trump’s supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol.Trump has remarked to aides about how much Graham gets booed at the president’s rallies in South Carolina, and Graham has occasionally annoyed Trump with his persistence, White House officials say.
Graham came back to Trump, in part because he wanted to shape his foreign-policy thinking against isolationist figures in MAGA. Going back to Trump before others did after Jan. 6, he said, gave him more leverage on foreign policy.
“Lindsey has an interventionist mentality that is idealistic about America’s role in the world,” said Marc Short, a longtime chief of staff to Mike Pence. “The president doesn’t share that, but the president doesn’t always share the view that America is going to stay out of all foreign engagements.”
Graham is realistic about Trump. He has joked with others that the Ukrainians should build a Trump Tower in Kyiv if they wanted Trump to give more support to the country. (Fuck Lindsay and send him to hell!)
On Iran,Graham likened Iran’s leader to Adolf Hitler and told Trump that Iran was in a historically weak position. They talked about the regime’s efforts to assassinate Trump in 2024. “If you think Trump forgets stuff, you’d be mistaken,” Graham said.
He reminded Trump about ripping up Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. This was Trump’s moment to make history, Graham argued to the president.Graham said he first brought up Iran to Trump during the presidential transition, over a round of golf, telling him Iran would always be an impediment to normalizing relationships in the region.
For months, Graham worked the issue,at times irritating senior White House aides. One called him an “annoying crazy uncle.” He kept showing up at Trump’s Florida clubs.

After the U.S. strikes on Iran in June, Graham said the president was “sky high.” Iran would continue to build more missiles and nuclear material, Graham told him.
As other aides including Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff pushed talks, Graham pushed regime change. “I said, ‘They don’t want to deal,’ ” he said. “They’re not trying to buy a house. They’re trying to burn your house down.”
To make the case, Graham said he worked closely with two other men—retired Army Gen. Jack Keane, a Fox News contributor, and Marc Thiessen, onetime chief speechwriter for former President George W. Bush.The trio took turns calling the president, he said, and compared notes. Graham said “there were not a lot of other voices” advancing the argument for action.
Thiessen and Keane wrote opinion pieces and went on television to secure Trump’s attention. Trump has posted Thiessen articles online, including one where he argued Iranians could be the “boots on the ground.” Neither men responded to requests for comment.
Lebanon next
Many inside the president’s orbit have worried about what’s next for the U.S. in Iran, and Trump has articulated different visions for the country.They worry about how to find an off-ramp. Graham said he wasn’t concerned about that.
Graham is also dismissive of those who fear that a war will depress Trump’s followers ahead of the midterm elections, and he said MAGA ultimately would be supportive of the efforts.
Instead, when Trump called Graham this week to praise his television appearances supportive of the war, Graham saw an opportunity.The senator said he pitched Trump on bombing Iranian and Hezbollah elements in Lebanon. “Operation Semper Fi,” he called it, in honor of the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut that killed 241 American personnel, arguing that Trump could go even further than former President Ronald Reagan.
Trump said he would think about it, Graham recalled. “I just think he has seen the capability of our military,” Graham said.
In a private lunch with senators Tuesday, Graham battled other Republicans who wanted more information about Trump’s warand some who wanted to curb his authority. Trump,he argued, was doing a better job than ever before.
“What I don’t understand is why more people don’t do it,” Graham said. “Try to shape these events. This is a moment of world history here. Just jump in the deep end of the pool.”

I think Trump will give the Cornyn if he gets the Perfect The Save America Act. And once that is done, suddenly there will be a full investigation of Cornyn’s crimes for years.
