Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.

Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, March 5th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America.

Iran latest. Cuba blackout. Netflix still woke and coaching legend passes away.

It's all coming up and Bill's going to be here with your message of the day.

But first, Pete Hexath, our secretary of war said in the Indian Ocean,

an American submarine sunk in Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters.

Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo.

This is the first ship that was sunk by a torpedo. This is the first ship that was

sunk by a torpedo since World War II. The USS Torsk fired the last American torpedoes of

World War II on August 14, 1945, sinking two Japanese defense frigates in the sea of Japan. This was one

day before Japan surrendered. The Sri Lankan Navy rescued 32 Iranian survivors.

The United States also has uncontested air superiority over Iran and the U.S. military killed an Iranian leader who led the attempted assassination plot against President Trump.

Hegg Seth said, no stupid rules of engagement, no nation-building

quagmire, no democracy-building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win,

and we don't waste time or lives. The Senate yesterday tried to require Donald Trump to

receive congressional approval before continuing the war with Iran, but that vote failed

47 to 53. A major blackout hit the western half of Cuba, which includes Havana, millions without power.

This is as Cuba has dwindling oil reserves, and they won't be getting any more from Venezuela.

Trump threatened to impose tariffs on any country that would sell or supply Cuba with oil.

Cuba says that jet fuel won't be available at nine airports until mid-March.

I don't know how they plan on getting more in a couple weeks.

Just a matter of time before Cuba's repressive leadership gives up.
