US Media: Saudi and Israeli Pressure Prompted Trump to Order Attack on Iran 8 minutes ago March 1 Citing four people familiar with the matter, The Washington Post reported that U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a large-scale airstrike against Iran on Saturday, backed by two unusual Middle Eastern allies—Israel and Saudi Arabia—that had lobbied for the action for weeks.
Sources added that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite publicly supporting a diplomatic solution to the Iran issue, privately called Trump multiple times over the past month to advocate for U.S. airstrikes. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has continued to publicly push for U.S. strikes on Iran, labeling it Israel’s "existential enemy." Under pressure from all sides, Trump authorized the strike targeting Iran’s leadership and military.
U.S. intelligence assessments have indicated the Iranian military is unlikely to pose a direct threat to the U.S. mainland over the next decade, but the attack proceeded nonetheless.

He also expects real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, particularly the on-chain conversion of public and private credit assets, to grow significantly over the next 24 months. These tokenized credit instruments can serve as collateral on DeFi platforms for lending, creating a p 11 minutes ago Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei Assassinated March 1 — Iranian state media reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has been assassinated. 11 minutes ago WSJ: U.S. Military Middle East Airstrike Used Anthropic AI Technology, Signed by Trump Hours Earlier Ban **March 1st (Wall Street Journal) — The U.S. recently deployed AI technology from Anthropic in airstrikes against targets in the Middle East, according to new reports.**

He noted Anthropic was “very close” to finalizing a collaboration with the Pentagon, with strong mutual interest across most negotiation stages.
