President Trump confirmed that Iran will not become a forever war….
But it won’t be one day either.
Today he confirmed this has always been considered to be about a four week process. “Four weeks or less” he said.

RELATED REPORT:
For 30+ Years, They Told Us This Was Impossible….President Trump Just Did It Anyway
For my entire life, certainly for the past 30+ years, we have been told the same narrative over and over.
See if this sounds familiar to you…
For years, we have been told that the USA/Israel could not stop the Houthis or Hezbollah or Hamas because they were essentially proxies for Iran, and we could not risk a war with Iran because that would pull in Venezuela and Russia and China.
Have you heard that your whole life?
And we really need a big, bad enemy like Iran to exist in the world so we can build up our military complex and have never-ending skirmish and conflicts all over the Middle East.
But President Trump first created unity in the region, building up alliances with Middle East partners like Qatar and the UAE through Peace Agreements like the Abraham Accords and through the new Board of Peace.
Knowing that he had the support of the region, he then de-nuclearized Iran with Operation Midnight Hammer in 2025, removing the nuclear threat and setting them back decades.
With the nuclear threat off the table, he then he captured Maduro and essentially took over the Venezuelan Government, which just so happened to be a strategic ally country where Iran housed a lot of its assets.
With support from Venezuela off the table, Iran was further isolated and weakened.
The Venezuela move also brought Cuba to its knees and the USA will likely control Cuba next.
With the Iran nuclear threat off the table, Venezuela and Cuban neutralized, and the Maduro raid giving the world a show of force that shocked many, President Trump has now taken out all of Iran’s senior leadership and is returning the country to the people.
And while the situation is still evolving, Russia and China have NOT stepped in, as we were told they would.
Basically, everything they have told us was impossible for the last 30+ years was just accomplished by President Trump.
He has completely rewritten the world map.
He has completely rewritten the Art of War.
He has complete rewritten the “global” world order.
We were told for decades none of this would ever be possible, and President Trump just did it all in a matter of months.
And he’s done it all without massive military failures and endless wars.
He’s done it with overwhelming strength and precision.
Trump speaks on the situation in Iran.
All very important, but the part that sticks out is at the end, when he encourages the Iranian People to take back their country, and says “the rest will be up to you”.
The strikes on targets will continue to ensure the IRGC are without… https://t.co/rB87Xg2WHE

RELATED REPORT:
President Trump continues to raise the bar on Iran, making clear that this will not be like every other failed regime change of the past.
He is rolling in and going to completely finish the job.
Watch here as he says Iran’s entire military command is now gone:

And to anyone in the armed forces remaining, he follows that up by telling them they will face “certain death” if they do not surrender immediately.

BREAKING: Iranian Missile Lands DIRECT HIT In Jerusalem — WATCH Footage From The Ground As It Hits!
So far, Iran’s counterstrikes have been extremely underwhelming and most missiles that have been sent have been intercepted.
But one just got through, landing a direct hit inside Jerusalem.
This incredible footage is from live on the ground very close to where the missile ends up hitting.

Here’s what we know so far on the hit:
The Iranian Missile Strike on Beit Shemesh
On March 1, 2026, an Iranian ballistic missile struck the city of Beit Shemesh, located approximately 30 km (19 miles) west of Jerusalem in central Israel. This attack occurred amid Iran’s broader retaliatory barrage following joint US-Israeli strikes on February 28, 2026, which killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and targeted key Iranian military and leadership sites. The Beit Shemesh hit is one of the deadliest single incidents in the escalating conflict, marking a direct impact on a civilian area despite Israel’s advanced air defense systems (including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow) intercepting most incoming projectiles.
Key Details of the Strike
Time and Sequence: The missile impacted around 9:00 PM local time (19:00 GMT) on March 1, as part of a larger wave of approximately 180-200 Iranian missiles and drones launched that evening. Eyewitnesses reported hearing air raid sirens across central Israel, followed by explosions. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it was a “direct hit” from Iran, bypassing interceptors.
Location and Damage: The missile struck a residential neighborhood, specifically hitting a synagogue and collapsing a public bomb shelter beneath it. At least four apartment buildings were destroyed or severely damaged, with surrounding homes affected by shrapnel and blast waves. Debris scattered across streets, and fires broke out in the area. Satellite imagery and ground reports show craters and structural collapse over a 200-300 meter radius. The city, home to about 150,000 people (many ultra-Orthodox Jews), was under lockdown post-strike, with roads closed for rescue operations.
Casualties
Deaths: At least 9 civilians were killed, including children and an entire family (parents and their children, identified in social media tributes as the “Cohen family” or similar; exact names vary in reports but include references to a family of five or more). Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s emergency service, confirmed the fatalities, noting bodies were recovered from the rubble of the collapsed shelter.
Injuries: 27-51 people injured, with 2 in serious condition (including shrapnel wounds and blast trauma). Eleven people were initially reported missing during rescue efforts, but most were accounted for by midnight.
Demographics: Victims included civilians sheltering in the bomb shelter, which was designed for protection but failed under the direct impact. Reports highlight children among the dead, amplifying international outrage.
Military and Eyewitness Information
Missile Type: Likely a hypersonic or medium-range ballistic missile (e.g., Fattah-1 or similar from Iran’s arsenal), capable of evading defenses. Iran claimed the strikes targeted “military sites,” but evidence shows civilian impact.
Visual and Eyewitness Accounts: Videos from the scene show nighttime explosions, streaks of missiles/interceptors over Jerusalem’s skyline, rubble-strewn streets, and emergency responders evacuating wounded. One widely shared clip captures the moment of impact near the synagogue, with screams and dust clouds. Social media posts from locals describe panic in shelters and the smell of smoke lingering hours later.
Israeli Response
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed an “overwhelming” retaliation, while the IDF conducted follow-up strikes on Tehran. President Trump commented that operations against Iran are “ahead of schedule,” linking it to broader US involvement. Evacuations were ordered in nearby areas, and schools closed nationwide.

The JPost had these details:
An Iranian ballistic missile on Sunday killed nine people, some of whom were in a bomb shelter, left several missing, and wounded dozens, including several children, in Beit Shemesh.
There were also some other minor hits in other parts of the country, and along with one woman who died overnight between Saturday and Sunday, the number of Israelis killed by Iranian missile fire has risen to 10, along with nearly 500 wounded, though mostly with light wounds.
Up to eight residences and the bomb shelter were destroyed in the attack, with about half of those killed in the shelter when the roof collapsed and the other half killed outside the shelter.
President Trump tells the Daily Mail he expects the Iran conflict to last “four weeks or less,” saying it was always projected as a short, defined operation.
