Good morning to readers. #Oil prices have surpassed $103 per barrel (+43% compared to pre-war).

At the #Armenia- #Iran border cars move both ways — families fleeing bombs, others returning home. For Hedia's family the crossing became a place in between, neither home nor exile. https://www.iranwar.news/p/caught-in-limbo-on-the-border-of

Caught in limbo on the border of Iran

At Iran’s northern border, Armenian officials expected an exodus when the war began. Instead, some travelers are stopping in small towns on the Armenian side for a brief escape.

ALONG THE #IRANIAN-#ARMENIAN BORDER—Two weeks ago, on the third day of the war, 21-year-old Hedia, her sister, and parents packed their car in #Tehran and drove north.

Not to flee the country, and not to start a new life.

Just to wait.

#ELEVEN #BILLION U.S. #DOLLARS: That’s an underestimate for how much the #Pentagon thinks the first six days of the war in Iran cost the U.S.
Some congressional aides think the White House will soon request more from Congress — $50 billion or more, Reuters reports. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-estimates-iran-war-cost-over-11-billion-six-days-source-2026-03-11/

At the start of March, Iran’s farmers should be preparing for the rainy season.
They sow their crops and wait for the rain.
But this season, when Tehran’s residents looked up at the sky, droplets of oil-infused water fell instead.

On March 8, #Israel attacked fuel depots in #Tehran and the nearby province of Alborz for the first time, filling the sky with dark clouds that rained down.

Good morning to readers. #Oil prices have surpassed $90 per barrel (+25% compared to pre-war).

U.S. attacks have exacerbated the water scarcity problem in #Iran. Fereshte rings the alarm as frogs leave her favorite pond and black rain falls in #Tehran. https://www.iranwar.news/p/irans-farmers-confront-a-new-threat

Iran’s farmers confront a new threat: ‘black rain’

Fereshte spent decades working with traditional farmers inside Iran. Now she fears what the war, and its environmental impacts, might do to them.
