Live Update From the Liveblog of Tuesday, March 10, 2026. By Emanuel Fabian, 7:00 pm The Israeli military says it has destroyed “most of the central assets” of Iran’s internal security forces and Basij paramilitary force in the Ilam Province of western Iran. In the past week, the IDF says it ramped up strikes on the Iranian internal security forces and Basij in several areas of Iran, and the province where most damage was caused is Ilam. The military says that Iran’s internal security forces and Basij in the Ilam Province “carried out numerous terror plans and, among other things, conducted brutal repression during the internal protests in Iran in December–January.” In the Ilam Province, the IDF says it destroyed a main headquarters of the internal security forces; a headquarters of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry; a headquarters of the IRGC, responsible for protest suppression; a headquarters of the special forces unit of the internal security forces; several Basij headquarters; and IRGC infrastructure “used to strengthen the regime’s control and governance in the province.”

Live Update From the Liveblog of Tuesday, March 10, 2026. By Jacob Magid, 6:50 pm US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff speaks during a meeting of the Cabinet in the Cabinet Room of the White House on January 29, 2026, in Washington, DC. (WIN MCNAMEE / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP) US special envoy Steve Witkoff says he and Jared Kushner may visit Israel next week, while clarifying that this is not finalized yet. He denies in a CNBC interview that the visit initially planned for this week was canceled due to anger over Israel’s targeting of Iranian oil production sites. He says the visit is aimed at coordinating with Israel on Iran. “We’ll probably make that trip next week, but we’re not sure about it as of now,” Witkoff says. Asked if Israel’s end goals for the war are the same as Washington’s — given that Jerusalem has been more insistent on the need for regime change — Witkoff insists that they are. “Israel is a one bomb country. One bomb takes them out,” he says, without elaborating. Witkoff says Iran has not shown interest in returning to negotiations since the US and Israel launched the war on February 28. “I’m sure the president would be open to it, but right now, peace through strength matters. People like the Iranians only understand one thing — a bad alternative if they don’t do as the president has asked them to do,” he claims. He says Iran has created an “offensive missile shield” to protect its nuclear program and is wreaking havoc across the region, losing all of its allies in the process by targeting them since the war’s outbreak. Witkoff is pressed on the US justification for the war after it claimed to have obliterated Iran’s nuclear program last year. He responds that the US has “destroyed almost all of their enrichment capability and conversion capability” — an apparent acknowledgement that Iran’s program had not, in fact, been completely obliterated.

Wonder if it's true. Tsarfati is usually trustworthy.
