WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) – The U.S. Interior Department said a database revealing how President Donald Trump’s administration planned to revise information on key phases of ​American history at national park sites was deliberative and the employees ‌who released it “will be held accountable.”

An internal government database first reported, opens new tab by the Washington Post and posted on two public, opens new tab websites, opens new tab on Monday revealed the scope of the Trump administration’s ​effort to revise or remove information on African-American history, LGBT rights, ​climate change and other topics at hundreds of national park ⁠sites.

“The narrative being advanced is false and these draft, deliberative internal ​documents are not a representation of final action taken by the department,” ​an Interior Department spokesperson said. The National Park Service is part of the Interior Department.

Trump has targeted cultural and historical institutions – from museums to monuments to national ​parks – to remove what he calls “anti-American” ideology.

His declarations and executive orders have ​led to the dismantling of exhibits on slavery, the restoration of Confederate statues and other ‌moves ⁠that civil rights advocates say could reverse decades of progress.

The Interior Department spokesperson alleged the internal working documents were edited in a misrepresenting way before being released. The spokesperson also labeled the release as inappropriate and ​illegal, without specifying the ​law it ⁠allegedly violated.

“Employees who altered internal records and leaked in an effort to hurt the Trump administration will be held ​accountable,” the spokesperson added.

The Trump administration has sought to stifle internal ​dissent within ⁠government agencies and taken action against employees who have criticized its policies.

Last year, some employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency were put on leave ⁠after they ​signed an open letter against the agency’s ​leadership, while some Environmental Protection Agency employees were fired after they signed a letter critical of ​the government’s actions.

以色列军方星期二说，已对黎巴嫩首都贝鲁特的真主党目标发动袭击。

法新社报道，以色列军方星期二（3月3日）发布声明称：“以色列国防军目前正在打击贝鲁特境内的真主党指挥中心及武器储存设施。”

以军曾警告，将持续推进针对真主党的军事行动。

黎巴嫩真主党是伊朗支持的最强大武装组织。伊朗提供的支持，包括资金援助、部署革命卫队和提供训练，在真主党的组建和发展中发挥重要作用。

真主党一直是与以色列北部接壤的黎巴嫩南部地区一支重要军事和政治力量。在伊朗支持下，真主党在黎巴嫩内战（1975－1990）中崛起，并反对以色列1982年入侵黎巴嫩及随后占领黎南部18年之久。在叙利亚内战（2011－2024）期间，真主党曾向叙利亚派军，协助时任总统阿萨德的政府。阿萨德是伊朗的长期盟友。

Trump admin warned lawmakers Israel was ‘determined to act with or without us’ before massive Iran strikes

Published March 2, 2026 7:49pm EST | Updated March 2, 2026 10:49pm EST

Speaker [Mike Johnson], R-La., described the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran as a defensive measure, saying, “Israel was determined to act with or without us” following a classified briefing on Monday evening.

Johnson told reporters after the briefing that Israel viewed Iran’s capabilities as an existential threat and was prepared to conduct operations regardless of U.S. participation. He said Israel’s assessment shaped American deliberations, and it was “determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support.”

The speaker said administration officials had to weigh risks to U.S. forces, regional assets and interests before supporting the operation.

“They had to evaluate the threats to the U.S., to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond. And they determined, because of the intelligence that we had, that a coordinated response was necessary,” Johnson said.

Johnson said he guarantees that if the U.S. had not acted, the Trump administration would have been hauled in by Congress and asked why they waited if they had “existential intelligence, knowing that that would happen.”

“I am convinced that they did the right thing,” he said.

Rubio confirmed that Israel was prepared to act against Iran and said the president “made a very wise decision.”

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,” he told reporters. “And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties .“

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., a top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, emerged from the briefing and said he did not believe there was an “imminent threat” prior to Saturday’s strikes.

“There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. It was a [threat to Israel],” he said. “We equate a threat to Israel is the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States. Then we are in uncharted territory.”

“We have seen the goals for this operation change now, I believe 4 or 5 times,” he went on.

Rubio insisted the operation was not about Iranian regime change but about taking out its capabilities as a threat to the region – focused on ballistic missiles and naval capacity.

He did not say whether strikes would extend to nuclear facilities.

“I do believe there is more than adequate justification for our American and Israeli actions,” Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss., told reporters he believes there is “more than adequate justification for our American and Israeli actions,” without saying more.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital in an interview afterward that he felt administration officials did a good job of illustrating the threat level faced by the U.S. in the days leading up to the strikes.

“I think that’s largely been very open source. The president laid that out, you know, very clearly. It does go beyond that to what I can’t get into, but it goes beyond that. I’m sure it’ll come out in the administration’s good time, but it’s not for me to say,” Mast said.

“But the more immediate nature of threats — I’m going through the negotiations with [Special Envoy Steve Witkoff], [Jared Kushner], Rubio, others that were a part of having those conversations and throughout that 10-day window of, you know, let’s call it countdown to make a deal, the threats that were going on in that window is probably the high-side information that you have.”

He also said there was a lot of daylight between what Democrats and Republicans in the briefing considered an “imminent threat.”

“It’s like, for me as a soldier, right, if I see an enemy machine gun nest, that to me, given that it’s an enemy machine gun nest, is an imminent threat,” Mast said. “To Democrats, unless that machine gun is burning up its barrels firing at you, it’s not yet an imminent threat. And those are the two separate ways that we’re looking at it.”

On February 26th, the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran in coordination with Israel. The offensive campaign has resulted in the death of 49 top Iranian leaders, including the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Six U.S. service members have lost their lives in Iranian counterattacks.

The opening phase of the conflict struck more than 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours, according to Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

美伊冲突扰乱航运 多家保险公司取消战争险

由于不断升级的伊朗冲突扰乱了航运，导致油轮受损或搁浅，并造成至少两人死亡，保险公司正在取消对波斯湾船只的战争风险保险。

霍尔木兹海峡连接波斯湾和阿曼湾，是沙特阿拉伯、伊拉克、卡塔尔、阿联酋等中东产油国的原油出口必经之路，通过这一海峡运输的石油约占全球石油运输总量的五分之一。

美国和以色列上星期六（2月28日）袭击伊朗后，伊朗革命卫队宣布封锁霍尔木兹海峡。

路透社报道，随着波斯湾地区的船只在伊朗报复美以袭击的行动中遭到打击，上述航道的运输几乎陷入停滞。

截至星期一，波斯湾有一艘油轮起火，另有至少四艘油轮受损。

有关影响以及对霍尔木兹海峡长期封锁的担忧，已推高了石油和欧洲天然气价格。随着冲突在中东引发多处油气停产，布伦特原油期货一度上涨多达13%。

航运数据显示，截至上星期天（3月1日），包括油轮和液化天然气运输船在内的至少150艘船舶已在霍尔木兹海峡及周边水域抛锚停泊。

受此事件影响，海运保险公司正取消船舶战争风险保险，油品运输运费料将进一步飙升。

据报道，多家保险公司星期天宣布，从3月5日起，凡驶入波斯湾、特定毗邻水域或伊朗水域的船舶，战争险保障将被取消。这些保险公司包括：Gard、Skuld、NorthStandard、伦敦保赔协会等。

这也意味着，在有关地区拥有船舶的航运公司需以更高费率寻求新保险才能维持保单。

保险经纪公司McGill and Partners的海运业务负责人史密斯说：“局势瞬息万变，各承保商普遍上调费率，部分针对霍尔木兹海峡过境船舶的承保甚至已暂停。”

行业消息人士周一透露，过去48小时内战争风险保费已从上周约0.2%飙升至船只价值的1%，这意味着每批货物成本将增加数十万美元。

鲁比奥否认美军蓄意袭击伊朗女校

美国国务卿鲁比奥说，美军不会蓄意袭击学校。此前，伊朗媒体报道称，美国和以色列对伊朗发动攻击首日，一所女校遭到空袭，造成160多人死亡。

据报道，这起袭击发生在上星期六（2月28日）伊朗南部的一所女子小学，被指是美伊冲突中最致命的袭击。

路透社报道，鲁比奥星期一（3月2日）就此事回应说：“若是美方进行的空袭，战争部将展开调查……美国不会蓄意袭击学校。”

对此，五角大楼和美国中央司令部尚未置评。上周末，美国中央司令部曾告诉媒体，正调查有关“军事行动造成平民伤亡”的报道。

Vice President JD Vance confirmed Monday that negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program collapsed after U.S. officials concluded Tehran’s claims “did not pass the smell test,” prompting President Donald Trump to authorize Operation Epic Fury.

Speaking on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Vance said U.S. envoys — including Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner — had conducted rounds of “deliberate” talks in Geneva with the Iranian delegation.

The discussions were aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief and averting a broader conflict, he said, but ultimately broke down.

“But the Iranians would come back to us and they’d say, ‘Well, you know, having enrichment for civilian purposes, for energy purposes, is a matter of national pride,’” Vance said.

“And so we would say, ‘OK, that’s interesting, but why are you building your enrichment facilities 70 feet underground? And why are you enriching to a level that’s way beyond civilian enrichment and is only useful if your goal is to build a nuclear bomb?’” he said.

“Nobody objects to the Iranians being able to build medical isotopes; the objection is these enrichment facilities that are only useful for building a nuclear weapon,” Vance clarified.

“It just doesn’t pass the smell test for you to say that you want enrichment for medical isotopes, while at the same time trying to build a facility 70 to 80 feet underground,” he explained.

Vance spoke as Operation Epic Fury ended its third day. Launched on Feb. 28, U.S. and Israeli forces carried out coordinated precision strikes deep inside Iran aimed at crippling Tehran’s missile arsenal and nuclear infrastructure.

A key issue had been Iran enriching uranium to high levels, including material around 60% purity — a fraction of weapons-grade but far above limits set under the 2015 nuclear deal — keeping international alarm high over proliferation risks.

“We destroyed Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon during President Trump’s term,” Vance told Watters. “We set them back substantially. But I think the President was looking for the long haul,” he said.

“[Trump was looking for Iran] to make a significant long-term commitment that they would never build a nuclear weapon, that they would not pursue the ability to be on the brink of a nuclear weapon.”

“He wanted to make sure that Iran could never have a nuclear weapon, and that would require fundamentally a change in mindset from the Iranian regime.”

“The President is not going to rest until he accomplishes that all-important objective of ensuring that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon, not just for the next few years, not just because we obliterated for dough or some other.”

“There’s just no way that Donald Trump is going to allow this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no clear end in sight and no clear objective,” Vance added while describing that the administration would prefer to see “a friendly regime in Iran, a stable country, a country that’s willing to work with the United States.”
