已故伊朗最高领导人哈梅内伊的高级助手穆赫贝尔说，伊朗无意与美国进行谈判，并可根据需要继续这场中东战争。

法新社报道，穆赫贝尔接受国家电视台采访时说，伊朗“不信任美国人，我们与他们没有任何谈判的基础”，并称“只要我们想打仗，我们就可以继续打下去”。

另据伊朗司法部门旗下的在线新闻网站（Mizan）报道，伊朗司法部长埃杰伊说，在由美以联合空袭伊朗引发的中东战争期间，任何协助伊朗敌人的人员“都将受到果断严厉的惩处”。

他说：“鉴于我们正处于战争状态，任何以言语或行动迎合侵略敌方非法欲望和利益的个人，都将根据现行法律法规受到果断严厉的惩处。”

For some small businesses, a tariff refund isn’t worth the pain of pursuing it

• Summary
• Companies

• Small businesses face high legal costs for tariff refunds
• 97% of U.S. importers are small businesses, paid $55 billion in tariffs
• Banks, hedge funds buying refund claims at discounts

NEW YORK, March 4 (Reuters) – The day the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the tariffs that had cost Ian Rosenberger’s backpack company Day Owl tens of thousands of dollars, friends started texting him their ​congratulations. He didn’t share their elation.

“I don’t see any possible way to get that money back,” said Rosenberger, whose Pittsburgh-based company, with just a few million dollars in ‌sales, likely could not afford attorneys’ fees.

About 2,000 companies, including FedEx, Costco, and L’Oreal, have sued for refunds in the U.S. Court of International Trade, with more litigants likely. The Supreme Court ruled on February 20 that the use of emergency tariffs exceeded President Donald Trump’s authority, and many businesses are now girding for a months- to years-long fight to get their money back.

But numerous small company owners are coming to the conclusion that, while the ruling is a ​win on paper, recouping tariff expenses won’t be easy – if it happens at all.

Lawyers and business owners interviewed by Reuters say suing for refunds would divert their time, money ​or both from the need to keep operations running. “The number of conversations and analyses we’ve done … the time suck on our team has been monumental,” ⁠said Cassie Abel, CEO of Idaho-based outerwear company Wild Rye.

SMALL BUSINESSES PAID ONE-THIRD OF TARIFFS

Roughly 97% of U.S. importers are small businesses, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the tariffs ​they paid were a big headwind in 2025. Of the $175 billion in tariffs paid to the U.S. government, small businesses paid about $55 billion, according to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model.

Some ​cash-strapped small businesses “will just have to eat the loss,” said Oliver Dunford, an attorney at public interest law firm Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), who represented kids’ clothing maker Princess Awesome, a lead plaintiff in the case against the tariffs.

For smaller companies grappling with renewed global uncertainty, the legal considerations represent an added cost that larger corporations need not worry about.

Even small businesses that can afford to litigate are taking a wait-and-see approach.

ECR4Kids, which makes child-focused fixtures and learning ​products like toy boxes and cubbies, has roughly $70 million in annual revenue. Still, for now, founder and managing partner Lee Siegel is holding off on litigation, citing a lack of clarity on ​the court process, and no guarantee of the outcome.

“I want to see when the dust settles in a few weeks,” said Siegel, whose company has paid about $2 million in the since-rescinded tariffs.

Siegel wants to use refunds to ‌lower prices ⁠on ECR4Kids’ unsold U.S. inventory, so a long, expensive court process could render them less valuable. “The refund is important,” he said, “but it’s more important if it’s done sooner, because it allows us to stabilize pricing.”

The chart shows that rising costs and tariffs were the biggest headwind for small businesses in 2025.

‘NOT NOVEL OR DIFFICULT’

Small business advocates say the government has the infrastructure to refund tariffs easily, and has done so before. “This is not novel or difficult,” said Dan Anthony, executive director of We Pay the Tariffs, a small-business coalition formed to advocate for refunds.

However, in a post-ruling press conference, Trump predicted “we’ll end up being in court for the next five years” over refunds. The government could wind ​up keeping some of the disputed money if ​claimants can’t afford to fight for it, said ⁠George Tuttle, a lawyer and international trade expert.

Eva St. Clair, co-founder of Princess Awesome, says she is “hoping that (the government) will simply refund us” without more litigation – but hasn’t ruled out going to court to recover around $30,000 in tariff payments.

Cost, though, is an obstacle. Her company – which survived tariffs in ​part by collecting $8,000 from customers through a virtual tip jar – was represented for free by PLF’s Dunford in the case that reached the Supreme ​Court. “I can’t imagine what it ⁠would take to pay a lawyer,” St. Clair said.

Banks and hedge funds are buying refund claims at roughly 40 cents on the dollar, enabling some businesses to recoup a portion of their claim while avoiding the legal headache. Some, though, refuse to sell out of principle.

“I’m not the type who’d trade two dollars for one,” said Michael O’Shaughnessy, president of television supplier Element Electronics. His company has sued for a refund, ⁠but he isn’t ​getting his hopes up. “Once the government gets your money, you never get it back.”

Rosenberger shrunk Day Owl’s scope and ​laid off the head of a lucrative sales channel after tariffs took effect. Sacrificing a refund could mean saving his business, he said.

“If I’m spending all my time with lawyers, that’s time I’m not spending selling backpacks.”

哈梅内伊次子料接任伊朗最高领袖 以色列警告接班人必诛 | 联合早报

哈梅内伊次子料接任伊朗最高领袖 以色列警告接班人必诛

伊朗已故最高领袖哈梅内伊的次子穆杰塔巴曾于两伊战争期间，服役于革命卫队，与军方及情报体系高层建立紧密联系。图为2019年5月31日，穆杰塔巴（中）在德黑兰参与纪念“耶路撒冷日”的示威。 （路透社档案照片）

（纽约综合电）伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊在美以空袭行动中被击毙后，据报他的次子穆杰塔巴是热门继任人选。以色列警告，哈梅内伊的任何接班人都将成为暗杀目标。

《纽约时报》星期二（3月3日）引述三名伊朗官员报道，负责推举伊朗下一任最高领袖的专家会议当天召开，哈梅内伊的次子穆杰塔巴（Mojtaba Khamenei）是最明显的接班人选，最早可能在星期三（4日）上午接任。

不过，伊朗法尔斯通讯社星期二深夜引述知情人士报道，伊朗最高领袖选举可能推迟到下周举行。伊朗内部担心穆杰塔巴或成为美国和以色列的暗杀目标。

以色列防长卡茨星期三在社媒发文警告：“任何被伊朗恐怖政权选中，继续领导摧毁以色列、威胁美国、自由世界和地区国家，并镇压伊朗人民的领导人，无论姓名或藏身处，都将成为暗杀目标。”

星期二较早时，以军宣称袭击了专家会议举行的地点，不过伊朗消息称，有关建筑被袭击时，里面的人已疏散，穆杰塔巴目前安然无恙。

伊朗专家会议由公开选举选出的88名什叶派神职人员组成，负责任命、监督和罢免最高领袖。

知情人士透露，伊朗已采取最高级别安全措施，确保专家会议顺利推举最高领袖。推举程序可能在哈梅内伊葬礼后以现场投票方式举行。

消息称，哈梅内伊的遗体将安葬在什叶派圣城马什哈德（Mashhad），葬礼日期尚未公布。

分析：穆杰塔巴开明 若继任意味蜕变

约翰斯·霍普金斯大学伊朗问题专家纳斯尔认为，推举穆杰塔巴出任伊朗下一任最高领袖是令人意外的选择，折射出伊朗国内政局现状。纳斯尔说：“他早被认定为接班人，但过去两年里，他似乎淡出人们的视线。如果他当选，那就表明现在掌权的是革命卫队中更为强硬的派系。”

现年56岁的穆杰塔巴颇具影响力但行事低调，与伊朗革命卫队关系密切。据三名伊朗官员透露，革命卫队力推他上任，认为他具备在当前危机时期领导伊朗的资格。

伊朗分析员拉赫马蒂则预计，伊朗国内并非所有人都会赞同。一些反政府人士可能会视他为哈梅内伊政权的延续。在近期伊朗爆发的反政府抗议活动期间，据报有成千上万人遭杀害。

不过也有分析师认为，穆杰塔巴能给伊朗带来改变。与穆杰塔巴关系密切的伊朗政界人士阿卜杜勒礼萨曾公开指出，如果穆杰塔巴真的接任最高领袖，他可能会像沙特阿拉伯王储穆罕默德那样，成为力促改革的领导人。

阿卜杜勒礼萨在美以袭击伊朗前接受纽时访问时说：“他（穆杰塔巴）非常开明，且致力于让强硬派边缘化。请将他继任视为一种蜕变。”

星期二较早时，美国总统特朗普在白宫记者会上说，自上周六（2月28日）以来，许多被美国政府视为可能接班成为伊朗新领导人的官员已被杀害。“很快，我们就谁也不认识了。”

特朗普强调，不希望伊朗出现跟前任“一样糟糕”的新领导人。

DHS reviewing some Biden-era border crossers to identify potential homeland threats

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday said the department is reviewing interviews with some individuals who crossed the border under former President Joe Biden to identify potential threats following the conflict with Iran.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem heads into a second straight day of high-stakes Capitol Hill combat Wednesday, this time facing House Democrats eager to press her on ICE arrests, warrantless operations and the Trump administration’s mass deportation push — all as a partial shutdown clouds her agency.

After sparring with Senate Democrats over DACA arrests and Election Day enforcement, Noem now enters a House Judiciary hearing stacked with vocal critics, from Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas., setting up another marathon session over immigration enforcement and executive power.

Noem caught heat from both sides during a Senate hearing Tuesday, when most Republicans praised her work correcting what they view as former President Joe Biden’s failed border policies. But Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and the entirety of the Democratic side of the dais emphatically confronted her during their questioning time.

In Wednesday’s hearing, Noem is expected to go up against House Judiciary Committee ranking member Raskin early, as the Maryland Democrat has previously pressed for more oversight of Noem and DHS, including rescission of policies allowing warrantless operations.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who is likely the committee’s top progressive, has previously called for stricter oversight of DHS and has criticized Noem’s management of ICE as it carries out immigration enforcement operations in cities including Minneapolis and New Orleans.

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., will also have a turn to question Noem. Her district in Delaware County was once a reliable Republican stronghold that elected a former Pennsylvania House speaker and leaned toward Trump in 2016. But it has since shifted and sided consistently with Democrats in recent elections.

Scanlon’s district has also featured numerous anti-ICE protests in visible areas such as the major intersection of Baltimore Pike and PA-320 last year, where throngs amassed to wave signs in the county’s commercial hub.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who is fighting a tough Senate primary Tuesday night, will question Noem near the end of Wednesday’s session.

Noem will also take questions from Rep. Henry “Hank” Johnson, D-Ga., and Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt., both of whom clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi just days ago.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Rep. Jesus Garcia, D-Ill., have both been critical of ICE’s activities, as Garcia previously slammed Noem for her agency’s conduct during enforcement operations in his heavily Hispanic district in Chicago.

Noem is expected to have a less confrontational time answering questions from Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and his caucus, which includes border-state Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Kevin Kiley, Tom McClintock and Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

The wild card in committee hearings is typically Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who has been criticized by the “MAGA” right for being insufficiently supportive of some of the administration’s policies.

Other members of note on the 44-member panel include Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., Rep. Brad Knott, R-N.C., and Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis.

On Tuesday, Noem clashed with ranking member Richard Durbin, D-Ill., over arrests of DACA recipients and questioned why Sens. Chris Coons, D-Del., and Alex Padilla, D-Calif., were concerned about ICE being dispatched near polling places on Election Day.

Noem appeared to ask both men whether their concern had anything to do with the idea of illegal immigrants voting in federal elections, which is illegal.

Senate to vote on Trump’s war powers after Iran attacks

March 4, 2026 / 6:00 AM EST / CBS News

Washington — The Senate will hold a vote Wednesday on whether to block President Trump from using further military force against Iran, amid shifting messaging from the administration about the strikes and warnings about more American casualties to come.

It’s the second time in less than a year that Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia has forced a vote on a war powers resolution related to Iran. The upper chamber voted down a similar effort in June, after the U.S. bombed three locations central to Iran’s nuclear program.

Kaine’s resolution, which is cosponsored by Republican Rep. Rand Paul of Kentucky, would “direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.”

Though the war powers vote was expected ahead of the strikes on Iran over the weekend, the massive military operation that began Saturday upped the stakes of the vote — and added to the urgency.

“They have shifting goals, different goals all the time, different answers every day. And I am truly worried about mission creep,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said Tuesday.

With a 53-seat Republican majority, the resolution appears poised to fall short of the simple majority needed to advance the measure. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has pledged to vote against the resolution, meaning it would need the support of at least four other Republicans in addition to Paul.

In June, the Iran war powers resolution received support from most Democrats and Paul, while Fetterman voted with most Republicans against it.

Even if both chambers were to approve the resolution, the outcome would be largely symbolic, since the president could simply veto the resolution. Democrats would require two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate to override his veto.

In a call with reporters Sunday, Kaine acknowledged that the renewed effort is unlikely to go anywhere, but said it’s important that members of Congress be put on the record about the war with Iran.

“If you don’t have the guts to vote yes or no on a war vote, how dare you send our sons and daughters into war where they risk their lives,” Kaine said.

Mr. Trump said Monday the operation in Iran was projected to last four to five weeks, but the U.S. has the “capability to go far longer than that.” But Mr. Trump also said the operation was “substantially ahead of our time projections.” He also has not ruled out putting boots on the ground.

Democrats walked away from a classified briefing with Trump administration officials on Tuesday unsatisfied with what they heard.

“They told us in there that this is an open-ended operation that hasn’t even really started in earnest yet,” said Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut. “There will be more Americans killed. They refuse to take off the table, the insertion of ground troops.”

“There clearly was no imminent threat,” added Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey.

A CBS News poll found that most Americans disapprove of the war with Iran, and think the Trump administration has not clearly explained its goals. About half of Americans believe the war could last months or years.

Asked Monday about whether the military operation needs congressional authorization, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said the Trump’s administration’s actions are “consistent with what previous administrations have done” in prior conflicts. Thune added at a news conference Tuesday that “the president was perfectly within his rights to take the steps that he took.”

The Constitution grants Congress the authority to declare war. In response to the Vietnam War, Congress passed the 1973 War Powers Resolution as a check on the president’s power to enter armed conflict without consent from the legislative branch. The law requires the president to consult with Congress in “every possible instance” ahead of the introduction of any military forces and to report to Congress within 48 hours of deploying forces if Congress hasn’t authorized a declaration of war, and caps any unauthorized engagement at 60 days.

“No presidential administration has ever accepted the War Powers Act as constitutional — not Republican presidents, not Democratic presidents,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Monday. “All that said, we complied with the law 100%, and we’re going to continue to comply with it.”

In a notification to Congress on Monday, Mr. Trump cited “repeated efforts to achieve a diplomatic solution to Iran’s malign behavior,” but said “the threat to the United States and its allies and partners became untenable.”

Mr. Trump added that “it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary.”

Kaine said he could continue forcing votes on the issue in the coming weeks, adding that some of his Senate colleagues who initially vote against the resolution could flip their votes as the situation with Iran develops.

He noted that several Republicans eventually helped advance a war powers resolution related to Venezuela earlier this year, shortly after the U.S. military captured former President Nicolás Maduro, over concerns about the potential for U.S. troops to be deployed there and Mr. Trump’s comments about running Venezuela. The effort, however, stalled after the Trump administration put pressure on several of the holdouts to flip their votes.

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who once supported limiting the president’s ability to strike Venezuela, said he believes the Trump administration is in compliance with the law on Iran and intends to vote against the war powers resolution.

“My view has always been, ground troops will require congressional authorization,” Hawley said Tuesday.

Last year’s efforts to curtail involvement in Iran also fizzled out after it was clear the U.S. involvement in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel was limited, and a ceasefire was reached.

The Senate vote comes ahead of a vote expected in the House on a similar resolution later this week.
