FPV drones from pro-Iranian groups have been spotted for the first time over the American military base "Victory" in Baghdad. The FPV drones, of an unknown model, are controlled via fiber optic cable and are possibly used by the "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" group. Judging by the video, the American military base is empty and the drone operator is attempting to find a target. In this case, the very use of FPV drones indicates a significant future threat to US bases in Iraq and the region. Currently, air defenses cannot effectively engage FPV drones.

Iran 'never asked' for a ceasefire or negotations, says foreign minister
BBC Live
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that Tehran has "never asked for a ceasefire, we have never asked even for negotiation".
This follows that Iran wanted a deal, but he was unwilling to agree to one "because the terms are not good enough yet".
"We don't see any reason why we should talk with Americans, because we were talking with them when they decided to attack us," he tells CBS News' Face the Nation programme.
"This is a war of choice by President Trump and the United States, and we are going to continue our self defence."

Ignore most of the video. Only the starting part is relevant.
There are loads of claims its all AI or 12 day war vids. But now basically even Fox News has to admit that Tel Aviv can be hit.
Shipping updates from Windward
- Commercial vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to zero on March 14, marking the first full day of the conflict with no AIS-confirmed crossings in either direction.
- detected approximately 400 vessels operating in the Gulf of Oman, indicating a large backlog of ships waiting near the Strait rather than immediately rerouting globally.
- Selective transit behavior continues under exceptional conditions, with several Pakistani and Turkish-linked vessels confirmed crossing the Strait on March 13 under apparent authorization or special circumstances.
- Route redistribution across global shipping corridors remains active, with elevated traffic around the Cape of Good Hope, stable flows through Bab el-Mandeb, and sharply reduced volumes transiting the Suez Canal.
- Energy infrastructure disruption expanded beyond the Strait as a drone-related fire temporarily halted oil loading operations at , a key Gulf export and bunkering hub located outside Hormuz.
- Iran’s Kharg Island export terminal remains operational despite , while confirms continued tanker activity around the terminal even as export volumes remain significantly below pre-war levels.
- Policy responses to the war-driven oil market disruption are expanding, with allowing Russian oil already loaded on approximately 377 tankers (≈215 million barrels) to complete delivery.
*Note that ships may be operating with tracking turned off at this time
This would good for the US long-term (somewhat negative for China), but I doubt Israel will ever let them. US will be dragged back somehow.
Netanyahu seen buying coffee recently. He even mocked the six finger meme circulating on the internet.
BREAKING: Chinese satellite imagery indicates that the USS Abraham Lincoln has moved away from Iran’s coast and is now operating near Salalah, Oman, behind the coastal mountain range. The carrier is now more than 1,100 km from Iran, after previously being observed about 350 km from the Iranian coast.
The USS Gerald R. Ford has also repositioned, moving further south in the Red Sea and operating off the coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
--------------------------------------
Earlier this week, US Central Command (CENTCOM) repudiated Iranian claims that the two aircraft carriers retreated from the Arabian Sea.
The open-source satellite imagery now available proves the carriers have indeed repositioned to be out of range of Iranian missiles.
How do we know that this isn’t photo shopped and the location is actually their and why did they only choose to reveal this now
