The latest on the conflict with Iran. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu Thursday giving an update on the mission in Iran. Fox's Mike Tobin with the details.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the war effort is succeeding. Iran, he says, has never been weaker, unable to enrich uranium, unable to produce new ballistic missiles. This as the U.S. says new air-to-ground elements have joined the fights. Apache attack helicopters and A-10 warthogs. The A-10s giving the task of shooting unmanned surface vessels out of the water. The Ras Lafin liquefied national gas facility in Qatar is still burning after being struck by an Iranian missile. After a strike on a Saudi oil facility, the foreign minister said any trust with Iran has been shattered and a military response from Saudi Arabia is possible. The way Iran keeps uprisings down, three men who protested the regime in the last uprising have been hung.
They were convicted for the deaths of two police officers and for collaborating with the U.S. and Israel.
Meantime, the Pentagon asked for a big spending bill to cover the cost of Operation Epic Furious. A supplemental spending bill from the Pentagon and Congress will total at least $200 billion. Spanish authorities have found the body of a missing college student from Illinois. The body of 20-year-old Jimmy Gracie found in the water off of Barcelona Beach.
This area where they found the body, it is right next to the nightclub Shoko, where Jimmy was last seen. He was visiting friends on spring break there. Police dive teams have been searching in the water after a witness reportedly said he saw Jimmy walking towards the water after leaving the club early Tuesday morning. And after sources close to the investigation told a local paper that police found the American student's wallet floating in the water, Fox Digital reports that police divers went into the water after a port worker waved them down. They had a stretcher and a body bag. And after about 10 minutes, when they came back up, the body bag was filled.

Fox's Lucas Tomlinson this morning reporting the Marines are on the way to the Middle East. Some 2,000 Marines on board warships that have departed San Diego. Also this morning, the Israeli Security Agency and Israeli police have arrested an Israeli citizen suspected of committing security offenses on behalf of Iran. Today, the first day of spring, Fox's Chris Foster with more.
Our spring equinox is usually, but not always, on March 20th, hitting at 1046 a.m. Eastern Time this year. It's when the Earth's equator lines up directly with the center of the sun, with no tilt toward or away. It's not true that everyone gets exactly 12-hour days and nights on the equinox because we see the sun as a big, bright disk, not just a single point in the center. Also, sunlight bends as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. Exactly equal days and nights happen on the equal lux. This past Monday or Tuesday in the U.S., it depends on how far north you are. The days get longer now until the summer solstice. Chris Foster, Fox News.
