On Sunday, March 9, U.S. President Donald Trump told Israel Hayom that any decision to end the war with Iran would be made "in conjunction" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This indicates Netanyahu appears to hold significant influence over Trump’s war-related decision-making. Trump declined to comment on Mujtaba’s election when asked by Israel Hayom, only saying, “We’ll see.” Hours earlier, in an interview with NBC News, Trump stated that Iran’s next leader “won’t last long” if the White House does not recognize them.

March 9th — Per GMGN monitoring (link: https://gmgn.ai/bsc/token/i_m4TE56o8_0xeccbb861c0dda7efd964010085488b69317e4444), the BSC-based meme coin “Lobster” extended its morning rally, pushing its market cap to a new all-time high of $6 million. It currently sits at $5.8 million, with a price of ~$0.0058 — marking a 170% jump in the past 24 hours, alongside roughly $3.7 million in 24-hour trading volume. The coin’s mascot traces back to an official tweet from Binance’s Chinese account, while recent buzz around the Openclaw (Lobster) trend has further fueled its surge. BlockBeats notes that meme coin trading carries extreme volatility, relies heavily on market sentiment and speculative hype, and has no inherent value or real-world use case. Investors are advised to exercise caution.

Discussions also cover an exit strategy for Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, terms allowing the Castro family to stay on the island, and deals related to ports, energy and tourism. The U.S. has floated lifting some sanctions, though it’s unclear what the U.S. would gain from the agreement — one Trump has referenced repeatedly in the past week. Sources note Trump holds leverage Obama did not have.
