  • On Friday, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said Iran's enemies were being 'defeated' and named the coming year a "resistance economy" in a Nowruz message.
  • Amid intensive US‑Israeli strikes, 1,444 people have been killed and 18,551 wounded, while Ali Mohammad Naini, IRGC spokesperson, was killed on Friday, the IRGC said he 'was martyred'.
