Trump heller kaldt vann i årene til de som av en eller annen grunn har fått for seg at han hadde ambisjoner om å gjøre noe for det iranske folk. Han skryter av hva som har skjedd i Venezuela, der det eneste han har gjort er å ta ut øverste leder for så å samarbeide med og beskytte det sittende, undertrykkende regimet. Trump tells CNN he’s not worried whether Iran becomes a democratic state https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/06/politics/trump-interview-iran-cuba-dana-bash “It’s gonna work very easily. It’s going to work like did in Venezuela. We have a wonderful leader there. She’s doing a fantastic job. And it’s going to work Iike in Venezuela,” he said, referring to acting president Delcy Rodriguez. Trump also said he was open to having a religious leader in Iran. “Well I may be yeah, I mean, it depends on who the person is. I don’t mind religious leaders. I deal with a lot of religious leaders and they are fantastic,” he said. And pressed on if he is insisting there needs to be a democratic state, Trump told CNN, “No, I’m saying there has to be a leader that’s going be fair and just. Do a great job. Treat the United States and Israel well, and treat the other countries in the Middle East — they’re all our partners.”

Trumps pressetalskvinne om at Russland hjelper Iran med etterretning for å angripe amerikanske mål: «It doesn’t really matter».

Jerusalem Post har en interessant artikkel om IDFs planlegging av krigen. Deep underground, IDF officers describe months of covert planning for war against Iran, Hezbollah https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-889056 Speaking from the underground command bunker at the Kirya in Tel Aviv, the three described a prolonged planning effort, intense operational pressure, and the secrecy required to manage the campaign. In recent months, officers in the IDF General Staff’s Operations Directorate have been working to build a war plan for two fronts, Iran and Lebanon, according to interviews with three officers published by Maariv on Thursday. Speaking from the underground command bunker at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, they described a prolonged planning effort, intense operational pressure, and the secrecy required to manage the campaign. The officers said they had effectively been living double lives, spending their days preparing military plans while concealing nearly everything about their work once they returned home. They said the burden was not only operational, but personal, as they were required to maintain a normal outward routine while handling highly classified information.

Denne krigen er den som har startet med minst støtte i befolkningen i USA noensinne, ifølge en gjennomgang av alle meningsmålingene til nå. Støtten er lavere enn den retrospektive støtten til krigen i Irak var i 2014. All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-us-iran-attack-2026-03-06 (...) The big takeaway from these numbers is that the new war in Iran is very unpopular. Not merely negative-number-so-what unpopular, but worst-ever-support-for-war-when-it-started unpopular. With just 38% of Americans in favor, support for bombing Iran is lower than retrospective support for the war in Iraq was in 2014.

Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel: The number of ballistic missiles launched from Iran at Israel has slowed to around 20 per day in recent days, according to military estimates. On the first day of the war, Saturday, after Israel and the US launched strikes against Iran, some 90 ballistic missiles were fired toward Israel. The following day, Sunday, the number dropped to around 60. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, roughly 20 missiles were fired each day in multiple salvos, each consisting of a small number of projectiles. Iran has launched dozens more ballistic missiles at other countries in the Middle East during the conflict. In total, Iranian media claims about 500 ballistic missiles have been fired. The IDF reports that it has so far destroyed more than 300 Iranian ballistic missile launchers — about 60% of Iran’s total stockpile. CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper said yesterday that Iran’s ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90% since the first day of the war.

Det handler om å uttrykke sitt standpunkt, slik nasjoner gjør absolutt hele tiden. Hverken Norge eller Frankrike tror at deres standpunkt skal få Hizbollah eller Israel til å la være å krige, ingen tror eller mener det. Jeg bare skjønner ikke greia med å forsøke å latterliggjøre en helt normal ting.

Skjønner ikke helt premisset ditt her, hvorfor skulle Israel og Hizbollah skjelve i buksene av at Norge uttrykker bekymring over en ny storkrig i Libanon? Flere av våre allierte har kommet med omtrent helt like standpunkt som den over, der det bes om det samme, deriblant Frankrike.

Washington Post: “Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence. The assistance, which has not been previously reported, signals that the rapidly expanding conflict now features one of America’s chief nuclear-armed competitors with exquisite intelligence capabilities. Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.” Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/03/06/russia-iran-intelligence-us-targets/

Financial Times: Qatars energiminister sier at krigen i Midtøsten "kan rive ned verdensøkonomiene", og spår at alle energieksportører i Gulfen vil stenge ned produksjonen innen uker, og oljeprisen vil presses til 150 dollar fatet. Qatar warns war will force Gulf to stop energy exports ‘within days’ https://www.ft.com/content/be122b17-e667-478d-be19-89d605e978ea – Det stemmer vel ikke. Hva er kilden din for denne påstanden? Det meste av russisk råolje til India går med tankskip fra russiske havner. Fra havner som Primorsk og Ust-Luga, gjennom Suez-kanalen og direkte til India. Ruten du nevner (Kaspihavet > Iran > Persiabukta > Hormuz > India) er del av International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC) og brukes til generell handel og containerfrakt, i veldig liten grad råolje av åpenbare praktiske grunner som kapasitet. Et stengt Hormuz-stred er nettopp årsaken til at India og andre land nå igjen ser til mer russisk olje.

Ca. 80% av russisk oljeeksport er til Kina og India, og nesten alt fraktes direkte fra Russland til disse landene.

Der Spiegel rapporterer at noen nasjoner som opprinnelig hadde forpliktet seg til å levere 30 PAC-3-missiler til Ukraina nå har trukket tilbake løftene sine på grunn av krigen i Midtøsten, som har ført til en rask tømming av lagrene. Rundt 800 Patriot-missiler ble brukt i løpet av bare tre dager av krigen i Midtøsten – flere enn Ukraina har hatt i løpet av hele krigen, ifølge Zelensky. Kilde

Det stemmer overhodet ikke. De fleste iranere som bor i Norge i dag har permanent oppholdstillatelse eller norsk statsborgerskap etter mange år her i landet. De aller fleste kom på starten av 80-tallet og på 90-tallet. Det sier seg selv at svært få av iranerne i Norge er her på midlertidig asyl, spesielt siden det i snitt kommer 80-100 asylsøknader fra Iran årlig. Med ca. 20.000 iranere totalt i Norge, kan andelen av iranere i Norge som er her på midlertidig asyl maksimalt utgjøre 1-2%.

Dagbladets reporter i Tel Aviv, Morten Risberg, meldte om angrepet mens det var pågående og han kunne tydelig se objekter på himmelen over byen. Se video av hendelsen øverst i saken. - Det har foreløpig gått to alarmer. Under den første hørte vi en lang rekke drønn i det fjerne. Andre gang kunne man se hele den massive salven på vei mot Tel Aviv. Jeg vil tippe det var over 50 missiler, sier Risberg, som nå er i sikkerhet. https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/massivt-angrep-mot-tel-aviv/84329033 Når man ser videoen det referes til er det tydelig at Dagbladets reporter med "den massive salven" mener "regnet" av klasefragmenter over byen. Reporteren bruker bare feil terminologi.

US joins Russia, China in opposing IAEA resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure https://kyivindependent.com/us-joins-russia-china-in-opposing-iaea-resolution-condemning-attacks-on-ukraines-energy-infrastructure/ The U.S. voted against a resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on March 5, joining Russia, China, and Niger in opposing the measure. It marks the seventh resolution on Ukraine adopted by the IAEA board since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, and the first time Washington has voted against such a measure. The resolution warns that strikes on Ukraine’s energy system supplying nuclear power plants, including the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, pose a direct threat to nuclear safety and security.

Trump om Pahlavi: Trump had said on Wednesday that Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former shah, who is trying to position himself as a leader should Iran’s Shiite theocracy fall, is not someone that his administration has considered in depth to take over leadership in Iran. “It would seem to me that somebody from within, maybe, would be more appropriate,” Trump said in comments to the press at the White House, adding that it may make sense for “somebody that’s there, that’s currently popular, if there is such a person” to emerge from the power vacuum. https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-i-have-to-be-involved-in-picking-irans-next-leader-khameneis-son-a-lightweight/

Watch: IDF strikes destroy 6 Iranian ballistic missile launchers primed for attack on Israel https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/watch-idf-strikes-destroy-6-iranian-ballistic-missile-launchers-primed-for-attack-on-israel/ The IDF releases footage showing strikes on six armed Iranian ballistic missile launchers that it says were primed for attacks on Israel. The Israeli Air Force struck the launchers over the course of several hours, overnight between Wednesday and Thursday, minutes before the missiles were set to be fired at Israel, the military says. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said last night that 60 percent of Iran’s missile launchers had been destroyed so far in the ongoing campaign.
