Today: Iran retaliates, judge orders tariff refunds and new names get added in Epstein probe

Today as it Happened for Thursday, March 5, 2026: Iran launched a new wave of attacks on Israel and American bases Thursday while also striking near the Azerbaijan border, marking a significant expansion of the conflict beyond the Middle East. An Iranian drone struck an airport terminal and another came down near a school in a region along the Azerbaijan-Iran border, injuring four civilians. Iran has long accused Azerbaijan of serving as an Israeli spy base on its northern border and warned Baku it would be punished if it did not stop. Meanwhile, in a defeat for the Trump administration, a federal judge in New York ruled Wednesday that companies that paid tariffs struck down last month by Supreme Court are due refunds. Judge Richard Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade wrote that “all importers of record’’ were “entitled to benefit’’ from the Supreme Court ruling that struck down sweeping double-digit import taxes President Donald Trump imposed last year under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. And The congressional committee looking into the Justice Department’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is expanding its witness list, adding several high-profile figures connected to the pair. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the committee, also said Thursday the Justice Department will release more Epstein files soon. It is believed roughly three million documents have yet to be published on the DOJ website and tens of thousands have been removed without explanation. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
