Chapter 1: What is President Trump's stance on Iran?
President Trump stands firm with his hardline approach with Tehran. An American adversary is apparently aiding Iran's fight against the U.S. And an age-old conflict breaks anew between the CEOs of McDonald's and Burger King. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, March 6th, and this is Evening Wire.
President Trump is standing firm on his hardline approach with Tehran. In a Truth Social post today, he declared there will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender, which he of course wrote in all caps. He added that after the selection of a great and acceptable leader, the U.S.
and its allies would help rebuild Iran's economy, saying the country could become bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. Trump closed the message with a new slogan, Make Iran Great Again. The post comes after Iranian President Massoud Bassashkin claimed that some countries have begun mediation efforts over the conflict.
The U.S. military says it sunk or destroyed more than 30 Iranian warships. Admiral Brad Cooper made the announcement today during a press conference in Tampa.
You may have heard the president say just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships. That was true at the moment. We're now up over 30 ships. And in just the last few hours, we hit an Iranian drone carrier ship, roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier. And as we speak, it's on fire.
President Trump has previously stated that one of the main objectives of Epic Fury is total destruction of the Iranian Navy.
Four men have been arrested on suspicion of gathering intelligence on London's Jewish community on behalf of Iran. Daily Wire foreign affairs reporter Cassie Akiva has more.
The Metropolitan Police Service said the suspects, one Iranian national and three dual British-Iranian citizens, were detained early Friday during counterterrorism operations in and around North London. Authorities believe the men were conducting surveillance of specific sites and individuals.
In a statement, Commander Helen Flanagan, who is in charge of London's counterterrorism policing, said, quote, We understand the public may be concerned, in particular the Jewish community. And as always, I would ask them to remain vigilant, and if they see or hear anything that concerns them, then to contact us.

Chapter 2: How is Russia reportedly aiding Iran against the U.S.?
Israeli intelligence reportedly spent years mapping the underground structure, allowing a precision strike. Officials say the strike on the bunker is another major step in dismantling the Iranian regime's military leadership.
In response to Tehran's attacks, the United Arab Emirates is considering freezing billions of dollars in Iranian assets held in the country. The move could severely restrict Iran's access to foreign currency and global trade networks. This comes at a time when its economy is already crippled. Iran launched more than 1,000 drones and missiles toward both military and civilian targets in the UAE.
Morning Wire spoke to a student from Maryland, Bryson Begg, who was on a school trip in Abu Dhabi during some of these strikes.
My friend says, hey, our flight just got suspended. And I was like, oh, boy. Well, I guess we're stuck here for a few hours. I did not realize it was going to be a few days. And then we started to get the alerts on the phone. The phone started blowing up saying, missile alert. Seek shelter. That was very scary.
And then we look out the window and we watched a missile get intercepted by, I believe, the Abu Dhabi government, watched the explosion. And we have a few pictures of the smoke from it. It was terrifying. And then we contacted our parents who were also freaking out, understandably.
Bryson said he was floored by the amount of support he and his classmates received.
Everybody wanted to help, whether it was parents, our community, our parishes. Everybody was praying. I mean, we had thousands of prayers. It was really heartwarming, actually. You see in those really dire moments, you see just the goodness of people's hearts.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed reports that three Australian sailors were on board the US submarine that sunk an Iranian warship in international waters. The Aussies were on board the ship as part of the AUKUS program in which Australian sailors are embedded on US ships for training purposes. The revelation has sparked massive conflict within the Australian government.
While the PM has stated that the Australians were not involved in the attack, others in his government see their presence as implicating their nation in the conflict.

It's distinctively McDonald's. Only McDonald's could do this type of burger, but it also is unlike anything else on our menu.
Burger King CEO and confirmed human being Tom Curtis then posted a response video where he too ate one of Burger King's new Whoppers. Commenters noted that his experienced bite style clearly confirmed that Mr. Curtis has actually eaten a burger before at some point in his life. Not bad, right?
Only one thing missing. A napkin.
