At least five thousand people marched in London on Saturday demanding an end to United States and Israeli attacks on Iran, according to the Metropolitan Police, as reported by Al Jazeera. The protest began in the afternoon at Millbank and moved toward the US Embassy in Vauxhall, with participants chanting slogans calling for an immediate halt to bombings.

Earlier in the day, demonstrators gathered in the Millbank area of central London. Various charities and activist groups also set up temporary tents near Victoria Tower Gardens beside Westminster to conduct related activities. Police officials estimated the crowd size between five and six thousand participants.

The demonstration reflected growing public opposition in the United Kingdom to continued military actions against Iran, with protesters emphasizing their demand for peace and an end to foreign attacks.

The Israeli military has claimed that its air force destroyed 16 aircraft belonging to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force during overnight attacks in Tehran. According to a statement, Israeli forces carried out what they described as a 'widespread assault' across the Iranian capital, including strikes on Mehrabad Airport.

The Israeli military alleged that the airport had been used by the Quds Force as a hub for transferring weapons and funds to various armed groups in the Middle East, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah. The Quds Force is responsible for operations outside Iran’s borders.

The claims could not be independently verified, and Iranian authorities have not yet issued any official response to the reported attacks.

An Iranian official said the country is identifying new American facilities for potential attacks following threats from US President Donald Trump. On Saturday, Trump warned on his social media platform Truth Social that the United States would deliver a harsh blow to Iran, considering new targets for what he described as 'complete destruction and certain death.'

In response, the Iranian official told CNN that the United States had clearly threatened to expand the war against the Iranian people and directly kill them. He added that Iran would now review American territories, forces, and partner institutions not yet on its armed forces’ target list and include them for possible strikes.

The exchange of threats comes amid heightened regional tensions, with both sides signaling readiness for escalation, though no immediate military action was reported in the source.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for an attack on an oil tanker flying the flag of the Marshall Islands in the Persian Gulf. According to a statement published on the IRGC’s official website, Sepah News, the vessel, commercially known as ‘Luis P,’ was struck by a drone in the central part of the Gulf.

The IRGC described the tanker as part of United States assets but did not provide further details about the extent of damage or any casualties resulting from the incident. The statement did not specify the exact location or timing of the strike beyond identifying it as occurring in the middle of the Persian Gulf.

No immediate information was available regarding the response from the vessel’s operators or other regional authorities, and the scale of the impact remains unclear.

China is reportedly preparing to provide financial and military assistance to Iran as the country continues its war against the United States and Israel, according to a CNN report citing US intelligence sources. Neither China nor Iran has commented on the matter. The intelligence suggests Beijing may supply Iran with financial support, spare parts, and missile components, though China has not directly entered the conflict.

The report also indicates that China, heavily dependent on Iranian oil, is expected to pressure Tehran to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. A source told CNN that China remains cautious about its support, seeking an end to the war to protect its energy supply. Earlier, US media reported that Russia was providing Iran with intelligence support in the same conflict.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declined to clarify whether Tehran was receiving military aid from China or Russia, saying only that both countries were offering political and other forms of assistance. The conflict escalated after a joint US-Israeli strike on February 28 killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Lebanese armed group Hezbollah claimed responsibility for two attacks targeting Israeli military positions on Saturday, according to Al Jazeera.

Later, at 12:30 p.m. local time (10:30 GMT), Hezbollah reported firing rockets at Israeli military vehicles gathered near the Fatima Gate crossing close to the Lebanese border town of Kfar Kila.

Hezbollah stated that the attacks were carried out in response to Israeli strikes on various areas inside Lebanon. The report noted that the Israeli military had not issued any immediate comment regarding the incidents.

The exchange marks another episode in the ongoing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, though the source did not provide details on casualties or damage resulting from the attacks.

U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran has surrendered to its neighboring countries and issued a strong threat of a severe attack. His remarks came after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that Iran would not attack neighboring territories unless threatened first.

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Iran would be hit very hard, arguing that Tehran apologized and surrendered to its Middle Eastern neighbors, promising not to attack them again. He asserted that this promise was made only because of pressure from the United States and Israel.

Reiterating his aggressive stance, Trump warned that Iran’s complete destruction and certain death were being seriously considered due to its “bad behavior,” adding that new areas and individuals not previously targeted could now be included in future strikes.

India has granted permission for the Iranian warship IRIS Lavan to anchor at Kochi port in Kerala. The decision follows a request from Iran on February 28, citing technical problems aboard the vessel. India approved the request on March 1, allowing the ship to dock, and its 183 crew members are currently stationed in Kochi.

According to reports, IRIS Lavan had arrived in India to participate in the International Fleet Review 2026 in Visakhapatnam, similar to the Iranian warship IRIS Dena, which sank on March 4 after a reported torpedo attack from a U.S. submarine in the Indian Ocean. Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar stated that Iran had contacted India about the Lavan’s technical issues days before the Dena incident near southern Sri Lanka.

An Indian government source told The Indian Express that India had also invited the IRIS Dena to take refuge in its waters amid escalating conflict conditions in Iran, but Tehran did not respond to that invitation.

On Saturday alone, 20 flights were canceled, including those operated by Kuwait Airways, Jazeera Airways, Air Arabia, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, and Emirates Airlines. The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh confirmed the cancellations in an official statement.

The closures followed a regional security crisis that prompted Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan to shut their airspace. Biman Bangladesh Airlines has suspended all flights on six Middle Eastern routes until March 8, extending an earlier suspension that began on March 3. Travel agencies have been instructed to inform passengers of the changes.
