Trump takes credit for Iran's apology to neighbors; hints at targeting more leaders US President Donald Trump on Saturday claimed credit for Iran’s recent apology to its Middle Eastern neighbors, asserting that the country had been “beat to hell” by US and Israeli military actions. He warned that Iran would face “very hard” consequences, including potential “complete destruction and death,” for its “bad behaviour.” Trump suggested that Tehran’s decision to apologize and halt attacks on regional countries was a direct result of sustained pressure from the United States and Israel. The apology followed a week of intense conflict in the region, triggered by joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and destroyed multiple strategic infrastructure sites. In response, Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and Gulf states hosting US military bases, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The attacks damaged critical infrastructure and bases linked to the United States and its allies, escalating tensions across the Middle East. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that Iran had been “hit very hard” and forced to apologize after what he described as relentless attacks by the US and Israel. He claimed that Tehran’s pledge to stop targeting neighboring countries was a sign of “defeat” and called it the first time in “thousands of years” that Iran had lost to its Middle Eastern neighbors. Trump also hinted at considering new targets within Iran for “complete destruction,” suggesting that the country’s leadership had failed to assert dominance in the region. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a rare apology to Gulf states on Saturday, acknowledging the damage caused by Iran’s attacks.#iran #israel #donald_trump #supreme_leader_ali_khamenei #masoud_pezeshkian

Iran War Escalates: Trump Threatens 'Very Hard' Strikes; Iran Refuses to Surrender The conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has entered its second week with no signs of de-escalation. U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to launch "very hard" strikes against Iran, asserting that the country has effectively "surrendered" to its neighbors following statements from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Pezeshkian, however, has rejected the notion of capitulation, insisting that Iran will not yield to external pressure. The operation, referred to by U.S. Central Command as "Epic Fury," has seen coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel on Iranian military and infrastructure targets. A still image released by CENTCOM, accompanied by a press statement, depicted a rocket launch from a ship, highlighting the scale of the offensive. The strikes have targeted Iranian positions in the Gulf region and Israel, with Iran retaliating by launching drones and missiles at Israeli and regional targets. Pezeshkian’s remarks, which emphasize Iran’s resolve to resist foreign aggression, have been met with Trump’s insistence that Iran has already compromised its stance. The U.S. leader claimed that Iran’s refusal to target regional countries unless attacked first signifies a form of surrender, a claim that has been widely disputed. Iranian officials have maintained that their actions are a direct response to sustained attacks, framing the conflict as a defensive measure rather than an aggressive stance. As the war intensifies, both sides continue to exchange strikes, with no immediate indication of a pause in hostilities. The situation has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation, with analysts warning of the broader implications for regional stability and international relations.#iran #donald_trump #masoud_pezeshkian #us_central_command #gulf_region

Alabama Football Reveals Jersey Numbers for 43 New Players Ahead of Spring Practice Alabama will begin spring practice on Sunday, March 8, and two days prior, the Crimson Tide officially announced the jersey numbers for its 43 incoming players through the Yea Alabama platform. Among the 40-plus additions to the roster, only five players received single-digit numbers, including four transfers and freshman wide receiver Cederian Morgan, who was assigned No. 8. Most of the 19 early-enrolled freshmen have numbers above 30, though defensive linemen Mhari Johnson (No. 26) and JR Howard (No. 32) continue the tradition of lower-numbered jerseys. Johnson and Howard, who previously went by Corey Howard, also shortened their first names from their recruiting profiles. Other notable newcomers include running back EJ Crowell (No. 13) and quarterback Tayden-Evan Kaawa (No. 11). The transfers joining the program also secured single-digit numbers, with Devan Thompkins (No. 1), a defensive lineman from USC, becoming the first Crimson Tide defensive lineman to wear a single-digit jersey since Da’Shawn Hand (No. 9) in 2017. Thompkins, along with linebackers Caleb Woodson (No. 7) and Desmond Umeozulu (No. 9), will debut their numbers this spring. Additional transfers include Khalifa Keith (No. 20), a running back, and Carmelo O’Neal (No. 28), a defensive back, among others. For the freshmen, Cederian Morgan’s No. 8 is the only single-digit number assigned, while Jireh Edwards (No. 10) and Xavier Griffin (No. 11) also received lower numbers. Notably, two players—Tayden-Evan Kaawa (No. 11) and Jett Thomalla (No. 15)—share the same number, though the article does not clarify if this is a mistake or intentional. Other freshmen include defensive back Jordan Edmonds (No. 16), running back Trae’shawn Brown (No.#alabama_football #yea_alabama #cederian_morgan #mhari_johnson #jr_howard

Other players have also seen their numbers revised, including offensive tackle Jackson Lloyd (No. 77), linebacker Cayden Jones (No. 23), and tight end Marshall Pritchett (No. 9).

Badshah apologises for ‘Tateeree’ row, says “The song is being taken down from all platforms” Rapper Badshah has issued a public apology after facing backlash over the lyrics of his recently released track ‘Tateeree’. The controversy emerged after several women’s organisations objected to portions of the song, alleging that the lyrics were offensive and disrespectful to women. On March 7, the rapper took to Instagram to share an apology video addressing the concerns. In the caption accompanying the video, he also stated that the track was being removed from digital platforms. He wrote, “The song is being taken off from everywhere. ”In the video, Badshah clarified his intentions behind the lyrics and expressed regret for the offence caused. He said, “My new song ‘Tateeree’ has been released, and I’ve noticed that a part of my lyrics and its visual representation have conveyed a message that has hurt the sentiments of many people, especially people from Haryana. First of all, I want to say that I myself am from Haryana. Those who know me are aware that my language, my food, my lifestyle, and my identity come from Haryana. I am a proud Haryanvi. I never had any intention or purpose of saying anything inappropriate about any child or woman from Haryana. ”Explaining the context of the lyrics, the rapper added that the lines were written in line with the competitive nature of hip-hop music.

Alabama's Ryan Williams Makes Jersey Changes Ahead of Potential Bounce-Back Season Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams is set to enter the 2026 college football season with a new jersey number and a revised name, signaling a fresh start as he prepares for his junior season. The rising junior, who previously wore number 2, will switch to number 1—a tribute to his high school days at Saraland High in Alabama. His name will also change to Ryan Coleman-Williams, incorporating his mother’s last name, Tiffany Coleman, as part of a personal branding effort. The update was hinted at during the 2025 season when Williams wore the names “Coleman” and “Williams” across his eye black during Alabama’s victory over Tennessee in October. He explained the decision afterward, stating, “It’s both of my last names. I just wanted to represent. That’s pretty much it.” The jersey change carries sentimental weight for Williams, as he starred in high school with number 1, emerging as a five-star recruit and one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2024 class. However, his college career has been marked by uneven performance. As a freshman in 2024, Williams made an immediate impact, recording 48 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns, including a standout 177-yard performance against then-No. 2 Georgia. That season established him as a breakout star in college football. Yet, his sophomore year in 2025 saw a decline in consistency. Despite finishing second on the team with 49 receptions and 689 yards, Williams struggled with a 16.9% drop rate, one of the highest among FBS receivers. The explosive plays that defined his freshman campaign became less frequent, raising questions about his ability to maintain his high-level production.#ryan_williams #tiffany_coleman #saraland_high #alabama #derrick_nix

Lisci: "Este partido puede marcar un antes y un después en la temporada" El entrenador de Osasuna, Alessio Lisci, destacó la relevancia del partido contra el Mallorca, especialmente tras la derrota en Mestalla. "Estamos con muchas ganas. El partido, más que importante, es importantísimo. La palabra puede que sea trascendental, y me gustaría que ese fuera el titular porque, en caso de ganar mañana, estaríamos virtualmente salvados. Serían doce puntos por encima del descenso y el golaverage a principios de marzo", explicó. Además, subrayó que "no debe darse por hecho, es muy importante. Este partido puede marcar un antes y un después en la temporada. Quiero pedirle a la afición que haya el mismo ambiente que frente al Real Madrid, que sé que no es fácil, pero tenemos que estar todos con la misma mentalidad de sacarlo como sea y estar enchufados". A pesar de la importancia del duelo, Lisci rechazó llamarlo "final", ya que "las finales o las pierdes o las ganas y existe la opción del empate", aunque consideró que "es lo que más se acerca a una final". El técnico también mencionó la vuelta de Aimar Oroz, indicando que "no fuimos capaces de solventar su baja, como pasó ante el Villarreal. Esperamos que esté siempre y es importante recuperarlo, él es importantísimo". Además, añadió que "es uno más y, ya solo por matemática, tenemos más banquillo a nuestra disposición". Lisci no quiso enfatizar la estadística de seis partidos seguidos sin perder en casa, ya que "las estadísticas positivas, tarde o temprano, se rompen". Sin embargo, reconoció que "nosotros tenemos que dar nuestra mejor versión porque los rivales vienen con otra mentalidad a El Sadar, saben que es un partido difícil".#real_madrid #osasuna #mallorca #martin_demichelis #alessio_lisci
