The Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway nestled between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is not merely a geographical passageway or a shipping lane on the world map to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It is a strategically vital waterway that forms the pulse of the global energy economy and, simultaneously, a potent asset for the Islamic Republic to fundamentally reshape the balance of power in the Persian Gulf and around the world.
Iran seeks not merely to protect or monitor this strait but to exercise absolute, intelligent and legitimate control that, in the short term, applies economic pressure on any adversary to force it into retreat, negotiation, or acceptance of Iranian terms, and in the long term, to convert this control into permanent and inexhaustible strategic advantage.
This unchallenged authority on the strategic chokepoint, which carries around a quarter of global seaborne oil trade, includes regulating maritime traffic, collecting passage tolls, influencing global supply chains, and reconfiguring power dynamics in the region in alignment with the Axis of Resistance. … continue
It is easier to start than end wars, but this one appears to have run its course
Is the war against Iran over?
The aerial massacre conducted by Israel in Beirut Wednesday, the Iranian response further limiting passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and a number of other incidents suggest the agreement reached Tuesday is not only fragile but on the verge of collapse.
Yet the more likely scenario is that these are the death throes of a failed war, and that Israel’s furious efforts to re-ignite a full-scale war will fail.
Let’s recall what happened on Tuesday. That morning the US leader, Donald Trump, threatened that “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again”.
Shortly before the 8pm deadline for yet another genocide in the Middle East, Pakistan announced that the US and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire. Iranians celebrated, Arabs and particularly those in the Gulf breathed an enormous sigh of relief, and Israel and its flunkies went into meltdown.
What changed? … continue

Iran’s Human Rights Headquarters has condemned the US-Israeli attacks that “deliberately” targeted civilian places directly affecting people’s daily lives and livelihoods as a “clear violation” of the most basic humanitarian and legal principles, stressing that they amount to “war crimes”.
In a statement on Friday, the office strongly condemned “the repeated and deliberate attacks by the Zionist regime and the United States against a wide range of civilian targets, including residential homes, hospitals, medical and relief centers, vital infrastructure, economic centers, bridges, schools, as well as vessels and barges used for people’s livelihoods”.
The statement referred to the attack on four fishing boats in the Lengeh port and other civilian vessels set ablaze, saying the attacks have directly violated “fundamental human rights, including the right to life, the right to work and the right to development.” … continue

Investors have warned that the US-Israeli war on Iran will leave “scar tissue” in global markets, with commodity prices and bond yields unlikely to quickly return to prewar levels even if a lasting deal is reached.
Energy prices remain far above prewar levels even after the United States and Iran announced a fragile two-week ceasefire on Tuesday, with investors saying that damage to Gulf infrastructure and the loss of confidence after Tehran’s de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz will weigh on any recovery.
“It goes beyond the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. I think there would be longer-lasting scar tissue that would need a higher risk premium in markets, even if a permanent ceasefire was agreed,” said James Vokins, head of core income and investment grade credit at Aviva Investors. … continue

As the ceasefire comes into effect after 40 days of aggression against the Islamic Republic, with violations continuing on the Lebanese front, military analysts worldwide are just beginning to unpack one of the most unexpected outcomes of modern military confrontation.
They are examining how the Islamic Republic of Iran, against the full American air and naval power backed by the finest allied systems, managed not only to survive but to inflict high costs and ultimately achieve a historic victory despite overwhelming odds.
Iran’s success did not come through matching the United States in crude technological adequacy or superior system quantities. Rather, it resulted from an advanced, multidimensional asymmetric approach integrating mass, accuracy, mobility, electronic warfare, and unremitting innovation.
This strategy turned historically strong American capabilities in air superiority and power projection into liabilities, while exposing the vulnerabilities of costly, high-tech defensive systems facing prolonged, low-cost saturation attacks. … continue

The myth was always more durable than the machinery. NATO presented itself as a collective security architecture; in practice, it functioned as a billing arrangement for American imperial overhead, in which European governments paid in treasure, territory, and political will for the privilege of hosting Washington’s forward operating positions. The Iran war has not broken the alliance. It has simply made the arrangement too expensive to maintain the fiction. When Spain closed its airspace to U.S. flights on 31 March 2026, and Italy denied Sigonella to transiting bombers, it was not a minor rift or hesitation. It was the first visible moment in decades in which the instrument of European subordination refused to execute commands. NATO, as a mechanism of American coercion, has encountered limits. … continue

A new bill could block property purchases, including for homebuyers, if the potential buyer is suspected of “anti-constitutional activities” — even without any criminal conviction. The new dystopian bill, pushed by Construction Minister Verena Hubertz of the far-left Social Democrats (SPD), could mean those who hold the wrong political views are blocked from real estate purchases.
Under the proposal, first reported by Nius news outlet, local authorities would gain a right of first refusal over real estate transactions if authorities believe the person is suspected of vaguely defined “anti-constitutional” views.
To make this possible, the government also plans to amend the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution Act, allowing the domestic intelligence agency to share personal data with municipalities for the purpose of reviewing prospective buyers. The Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) is Germany’s powerful domestic spy agency, which has been tasked with surveilling Alternative for Germany (AfD) members in certain federal states and has been implicated in a number of scandals, including the creation of hundreds of right-wing extremist fake accounts.
The draft bill is framing the measures as an effort at “strengthening the orientation towards the common good” and to “prevent social injustices.”
Its stated aim is to stop the “spatial impact of organized crime as well as right-wing, left-wing or religiously motivated extremist activities.”
In other words, those deemed to be “extremist” within the German political spectrum could have housing denied to them. […]
Notably, the bill has some parallels with sanction powers already being utilized in Germany and the entire European Union. Just last month, a Frankfurt am Main District Court in Germany upheld a German bank’s decision to maintain the suspension of accounts belonging to Berlin-based journalist Hüseyin Doğru, who is known for his pro-Palestinian news coverage. The ruling rejected an urgent application by the journalist, who is currently facing the threat of homelessness due to EU sanctions. The court’s decision means Dogru remains without the necessary funds for rent or basic daily needs.
The legal battle surrounding Hüseyin Doğru has sparked intense political debate in Germany, with critics describing the case as a “socio-economic death sentence” and a dangerous precedent for press freedom.
Notably, these sanctions were enacted with no trial or judicial oversight, which means, just like the new bill being pushed by the SPD, extremely punitive sanctions can be issued in cases outside of typical legal channels, with extreme consequences for those who end up targets. – Full article

The Hungarian government has accused Facebook of interfering in the upcoming parliamentary election scheduled for Sunday by restricting the reach of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s posts while boosting the visibility of his main rival, opposition leader Peter Magyar.
Speaking to Politico, government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs claimed that Facebook’s algorithm is “basically working against the government parties.”
He argued that Orban’s official government page is subject to stricter advertising limits and reduced organic reach, while Magyar is allowed to operate a personal ‘public figure’ profile that enjoys greater algorithmic freedom.
A report by the think tank MCC Brussels found that despite similar video views, Magyar’s posts have generated nearly three times the engagement of Orban’s. It also noted a trend of “disappearing comments” on content in support of the prime minister’s Fidesz party, while no similar behavior has been observed on opposition pages. … Full article

A Ukrainian drone attack across multiple Russian regions late Thursday into Friday killed one person, damaged more than a dozen homes, and set an oil products tank on fire, according to Russian officials.
In the Volgograd region, located about 900 kilometers south of Moscow, falling debris from intercepted drones killed a resident and damaged 13 private houses, a power line, and a gas pipeline, regional authorities said.
“A resident died from shrapnel wounds as a result of a nighttime terrorist attack carried out by drones belonging to the criminal Kiev regime,” Volgograd Governor Andrei Bocharov said, according to state news agency TASS.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defense systems shot down 151 fixed-wing Ukrainian drones overnight. The largest number — 57 — were downed over Volgograd, followed by 48 over Rostov and 35 over Belgorod.
The ministry also reported intercepting nine drones over the Caspian Sea, as well as one in Kalmykia and another in Tambov.
A day earlier, on Thursday, the Defense Ministry said it had shot down 69 Ukrainian drones, most of them over the Kursk region.

Last month, a Russian tanker, the Arctic Metagaz, was badly damaged by a sea drone attack off the coast of Malta.
On Tuesday, two Libyan officials speaking with the Associated Press said that the government based in Tripoli is hosting Ukrainian forces under a covert deal with the West.
Libya fractured after President Barack Obama authorized a war that led to the murder of Muammar Gaddafi. Following the conflict, the US backed a government in Tripoli, while Khalifa Haftar rules in eastern Libya. The damaged Arctic Metagaz is headed to a port in the eastern city of Benghazi.
Russian officials told state media that Kiev is looking to replicate the attack on the tanker in the Northern Sea by Ukrainian forces based in Norway. One official said that Norway’s assistance is dragging NATO into war with Russia. … continue

Former US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was fired by President Donald Trump last week, will not be required to testify about her handling of the investigation into late financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the Justice Department (DOJ) has announced.
In a letter explaining the decision, the DOJ argued that Bondi was summoned to appear before Congress in her official capacity – a role she no longer holds – rendering the demand invalid. However, lawmakers from both parties have insisted that she remains legally obligated to appear.
“The removal of Pam Bondi as attorney general does not diminish the Committee’s legitimate oversight interests in seeking her sworn testimony,” Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace and her fellow legislator, Democrat Ro Khanna, have said.
Mace further stressed that Bondi “cannot escape accountability simply because she no longer holds the office,” and that her testimony is “even more important” now.
Democratic Representative Robert Garcia has threatened to initiate Congressional contempt proceedings if Bondi fails to appear, insisting she must “come in to testify immediately” about the Epstein files and the “White House cover-up.” … Full article

… According to diplomatic sources cited by CBS News, US President Donald Trump was informed that the ceasefire framework applied to the broader West Asia, and he reportedly agreed that this would include Lebanon. A White House official also told CBS News that “Israel” had agreed to the terms of the deal, reinforcing the initial understanding that the ceasefire extended to Lebanon.
However, in one of the deadliest escalations in decades, Israeli forces launched a coordinated wave of strikes across Beirut and other regions, killing more than 300 people in ten minutes.
Despite these repeated confirmations from mediators and regional officials, the US position reportedly shifted following a phone call between President Trump and Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News that Washington’s stance changed after the call, raising questions about the consistency and independence of US decision-making in the negotiations. … Full article

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has categorically denied carrying out reported drone and missile strikes on facilities in countries along the southern edge of the Persian Gulf, stressing that Iranian forces carried out no such operations during the ceasefire hours.
In an official statement on Thursday night, the IRGC stated, “The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have not launched any missiles at any country during the ceasefire hours until now.”
The IRGC was responding to a wave of unverified reports circulated by various news agencies over the past few hours alleging Iranian attacks on targets in the Persian Gulf region.
“We would like to inform you that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have not launched any missiles at any country during the ceasefire hours until now,” the statement read.
The IRGC further stated that if the media reports prove accurate, “it is undoubtedly the work of the Zionist enemy or the United States,” entities notorious for staging provocations and false-flag operations to destabilize the region and undermine the ceasefire.
Highlighting the Islamic Republic’s policy of transparency and accountability, the IRGC added, “If the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran hit any target, they will boldly announce it in an official statement, and any action that is not in the statements made by the Islamic Republic of Iran has nothing to do with us.” … Full article

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif issued a sharply worded condemnation of “Israel” on Thursday following a wave of mass killings in Lebanon the previous day, which were carried out by Israeli forces.

BETHLEHEM – The Israeli occupation army uprooted dozens of olive trees in the town of Teqoa, southeast of Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Teqoa mayor Mohamed al‑Badan reported that Israeli bulldozers escorted by soldiers uprooted dozens of olive trees in the al‑Baq’ah area at the western entrance of the town.
He added that the bulldozed olive groves are located in the area around the military watchtower there.
These groves and other swaths of land in the area belong to Palestinian citizens from Sa’ir town in northern al-Khalil.

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian child and two men on Thursday in new violations of the “ceasefire,” as military fire and drone attacks continued to strike displaced families and populated areas across the Gaza Strip.
The killings occurred amid a deepening humanitarian collapse and a sharp decline in the entry of aid and commercial goods, further tightening the pressure on civilians already struggling to survive.
The Palestinian Civil Defense reported that 13‑year‑old Ritaj Abdul‑Rauf Reehan was shot and killed while attending a makeshift classroom inside a tent at Abu Ubaida ibn al‑Jarrah School in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.
The school, overcrowded with displaced families, has converted its courtyards and classrooms into temporary shelters.
Witnesses said Israeli gunfire penetrated the tented learning area without warning, sending children and teachers scrambling for cover as panic spread through the compound.
In Rafah, in Gaza’s southmost area, medical teams confirmed the killing of Yousef Khalil Mansour after an Israeli drone fired on a civilian gathering in the city’s western districts.
Hours later, another resident, 33‑year‑old Yousef Khalil Hassan, was shot dead by soldiers in the Al‑Mawasi coastal area.
Relatives said Hassan had been attempting to catch small birds to feed his family when he was targeted, describing the killing as another example of Israeli forces firing on civilians engaged in basic survival activities.
Israeli armored vehicles positioned east and north of Gaza City continued firing toward residential blocks and agricultural lands, while tanks shelled areas south of Khan Younis with heavy artillery.
In central Khan Younis, several Palestinians were wounded when an Israeli quad‑copter drone opened fire on civilians in the Barbikha area, according to medical sources who described the attack as part of a pattern of low‑altitude drone harassment used to intimidate and disperse displaced families. … Full article
A dark omen that peace is not what lies ahead
blueapples on X | April 9, 2026
Although the Trump administration has framed the war it has waged against Iran as a decisive victory saving the American people from an inevitable nuclear apocalypse, that unconvincing narrative does little to shield from the reality that the biggest loser in the conflict is the reputation of the administration itself. While Trump built the campaign that led him back to the White House upon a platform of refusing to drag the country into any new conflicts like the endless cycle of regime change wars in the Middle East that has haunted the United States since the dawn of the new millennium, that promise has been completely broken little more than a year into his second term in the Oval Office. Any optimism that the administration will emerge in the image of the pro-peace ticket voters elected is bleak, as the two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran de-escalating the latest episode of the return to a neoconservative foreign policy already hangs on a knife’s edge, making a resumption of the conflict seem little more than an inevitability. The pessimism that more war lies ahead have been amplified by a new policy being advanced by the Trump administration that forecasts an even more bellicose future for the country, as the Selective Service System (”SSS”) has begun to take measures to automatically register eligible men for a potential military draft that could be enacted to quench the bloodthirst of the warmongers who have once again taken control of America’s foreign policy. … continue

Spain is reopening its embassy in Tehran in hopes of achieving “peace” in the US-Israeli war against Iran, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares declared on 9 April.
“I’ve instructed our ambassador in Tehran to return, to take up his post again and reopen our embassy, and for us to join in this effort for peace from every possible quarter, including from the Iranian capital itself,” Albares told reporters.
The move comes as Spain sharply escalates its criticism of Israel and the US, condemning Israeli assault on Lebanon and the broader war on Iran, and pushes for regional de-escalation, according to Reuters.
Spain’s position, voiced by Albares, called the war “the greatest assault on the civilization built upon the humanist ideals of reason, peace, understanding, and universal law.”
He criticized Israel for violating international law and breaching the newly brokered two-week ceasefire after strikes killed more than 254 people and injured over 1,100 in Lebanon on Wednesday. … continue

“Israel now faces a worse security reality than before the war,” Ben-Ephraim wrote on X.
He noted that the US-Israel ceasefire deal could restrict Israel’s future ability to act against Tehran, while Iran has demonstrated its capability to strike deep inside the occupied territories with its ballistic missiles. … continue

Iran will restrict maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to fewer than 15 vessels per day under a Pakistani-brokered ceasefire with the US, a senior Iranian source told Russia’s state-run TASS on 9 April, outlining the conditions for the ceasefire’s continuation.
“Under the current ceasefire, fewer than 15 ships per day are permitted to transit the Strait of Hormuz. This movement is strictly contingent upon Iran’s approval and the enforcement of a specific protocol,” the source said.
“This new regulatory framework, operating under the supervision of the IRGC, has been officially communicated to regional parties. There will be no return to the pre-war status quo,” the source added.
The same official linked the arrangement to broader demands, stating that “the unfreezing of Iran’s blocked assets is a critical executive guarantee that must be realized within this two-week timeframe.” … continue

On Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump announced that he had agreed to a two-week bilateral ceasefire with Iran, pledging Iran had also agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian Supreme National Security Council said thereafter Tehran will begin talks with the US on Friday in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.

There is a version of the Democratic Party that exists only in the imagination: the peace party, the anti-war party, the party that marched against the Iraq War and howled at its neocon designers. As Donald Trump (reportedly) accepted Iran’s ceasefire terms this week, some of the most pointed attacks coming his way from Democrats are not about the thousands of civilians killed, the weeks of brutal bombardments against medical centers and universities, or the global economic damage the war has caused. They are about the war ending before the U.S. and Israel finished the job.
And this is not a fringe phenomenon. It is a pattern coming from Democratic senators, the Democratic House Foreign Affairs Committee, ranking members of the Armed Services Committee, and some of the party’s most prominent voices. The liberal opposition party wants more war.
This pattern predates the war. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Kamala Harris called Iran America’s “greatest adversary,” vowed that Iran would never obtain a nuclear weapon under her watch, and argued that Iran’s attacks on Israel would not have happened under her presidency. The Democratic nominee for president was running on a promise to be harder on Iran than Donald Trump. … continue

WASHINGTON – Halting hostilities in Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire agreement reached between the United States and Iran, Vice President JD Vance claimed o Wednesday, further calling the matter a “misunderstanding”.
US President Donald Trump earlier on Wednesday said ending hostilities in Lebanon wasn’t part of the deal due to the Hezbollah movement, noting the situation in the country is part of a “separate skirmish”.
“I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding. I think Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn’t. We never made that promise. We never indicated that was gonna be the case. What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran and the ceasefire would be focused on America’s allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states,” Vance told reporters before departing Hungary.
Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces announced the start of the largest series of strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon since the beginning of the current escalation.
On April 7, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that the ceasefire does include Lebanon.
The Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that the Islamic Republic could pull out of its ceasefire agreement with the United States if Israel continues its attacks on Lebanon. The Fars news agency further reported Tehran has suspended tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following the attacks.

He expressed hope for the success of the upcoming negotiations and reaffirmed Moscow’s readiness to help “overcome the consequences of the unprovoked US‑Israeli aggression against Iran and ensure long-term peace and sustainable security in the region.”

A UK regulator bypassed every formal legal treaty and just emailed American companies into compliance, 98% of them apparently obliged

A Freedom of Information response has confirmed what the UK’s speech regulator would probably have preferred to keep quiet. Ofcom fired off 197 information demands to American tech companies under the Online Safety Act, and not a single one went through the US-UK Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, the formal diplomatic process that exists for exactly this kind of cross-border legal enforcement. Every one of those 197 notices was sent directly, by email or post, to companies operating entirely on American soil.

Occupation forces also shot a Palestinian child with live rounds after invading the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
The ARAB 48 News outlet reported that the young man Alaa Khaled Sbeih was killed by occupation forces on Wednesday night, at the same time illegal colonizers invaded the village of Tayasir.
Initial reports by the WAFA News Agency said that local Palestinians confronted Israeli settlers who stormed the town, before the army arrived and fired live rounds at civilians.

The regime, he added, would try to torpedo any likelihood of rapprochement between the Persian Gulf’s littoral states and the Islamic Republic with similar zeal.
Such anti-peace efforts on the part of the regime would, meanwhile, “result in marginalizing it (Tel Aviv) in the region and spotlighting the policies of occupation, settlement, and ethnic cleansing it practices, as we see it doing now in Lebanon,” ElBaradei added. … continue

He called for Lebanon to be included in ceasefire efforts and urged the international community to formally condemn a new breach of international law.

European leaders have responded to the war on Iran with a familiar language: calls for restraint, appeals to diplomacy, and renewed commitments to international law. From Brussels to Berlin, the language has been measured, even cautious. Yet the gap between what Europe says and what it does has rarely been so stark.
While European governments publicly distance themselves from escalation, their infrastructure, alliances, and policies continue to sustain the very war effort they claim to oppose. Military bases, logistical networks, and intelligence frameworks tied to NATO remain fully operational.
Arms flows continue. Political backing, though often indirect, is unmistakable.
This contradiction is not simply a matter of hypocrisy. It reveals something deeper about Europe’s position in the global order, one defined less by autonomy than by structural dependence on the United States. The war on Iran is not creating this reality; it is exposing it. … continue

Tens of thousands of Iraqis have gathered in major cities to celebrate Iran’s victory over US and Israeli aggression, hours after the United States agreed to Iran’s conditions for a ceasefire.
The largest of the gatherings on Wednesday took place in al-Tahrir Square in Baghdad, where demonstrators expressed support for the Axis of Resistance and marked the agreement as a triumph for their cause.
The crowds waved flags of Iran, Hezbollah, and other resistance groups while holding up portraits of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the martyred leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the martyred leader of Hezbollah, alongside other fallen figures. … Full article

Forty days into the war imposed illegally on the Islamic Republic of Iran, the unthinkable has happened. The United States has retreated unceremoniously, and Iran has declared a “historic victory,” stamping its authority as a new global superpower.
And the enemy, despite unleashing overwhelming force, has been forced to accept a 10-point Iranian proposal that includes a permanent ceasefire, the removal of all primary and secondary sanctions, and the withdrawal of US combat forces from the region. … continue
Al Mayadeen | April 8, 2026
Just a couple of hours after a ceasefire deal was reached, “Israel’s” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Wednesday that his government supports the US decision to suspend strikes on Iran for two weeks, but immediately breached the agreement by declaring it does not extend to Lebanon.
In a statement posted on the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office X account, Netanyahu said the Israeli regime backs Washington’s efforts to ensure Iran “no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat,” and acknowledged that the United States had communicated its commitment to achieving these goals in upcoming negotiations.
However, buried at the end of the statement was a unilateral carve-out: “The two-week ceasefire does not include Lebanon.”
The Israeli regime has already violated the ceasefire before the ink had dried, targeting an ambulance in southern Lebanon alongside bombing several towns in the South. … continue

Yesterday began with Donald Trump issuing genocidal threats against Iran on social media and ended—just ten hours later—with the announcement of a 14-day ceasefire, on Iran’s terms. Even by the volatile standards of Trump’s presidency, the whiplash is extraordinary. What, then, have the two sides actually agreed to—and what might it mean? … continue
Press TV – April 8, 2026
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has sharply criticized prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for supporting a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran, calling it a “political disaster.”
Lapid made the remarks in a post on his X account on Wednesday, after Netanyahu’s office said Israel supports US President Donald Trump’s decision for a two-week ceasefire.
“There has never been such a political disaster in all of our history,” Lapid said, adding that Israel “wasn’t even at the table when decisions were made concerning the core of our security.”
Lapid also stressed that Netanyahu “failed politically and strategically in achieving “even a single one of the goals that he himself set.” … continue

Alberta’s government wants the power to fine people $10,000 for creating a political deepfake. The bill makes no distinction between a fake video designed to suppress votes and a satirical meme poking fun at the premier.
Justice Minister Mickey Amery tabled Bill 23, the Justice Statutes Amendment Act, 2026, on March 30.
The legislation would prohibit individuals and entities from creating or distributing deepfakes that are likely to mislead voters about the conduct or statements of a party leader, minister, leadership or nomination contestant, MLA candidate, the chief electoral officer, the election commissioner, Elections Alberta employees or election officers.
The ban’s reach is notable for what it doesn’t say. There is no carve-out for satire, no exemption for parody, no protection for political memes. A deepfake clearly labelled as humor could still be prosecuted if someone, somewhere, decided it was “likely to mislead voters” about a politician’s statements. Who decides what’s likely to mislead? The election commissioner, the same office empowered by the bill to issue directions to stop the creation, distribution, or publication of content it deems in violation.
Officials said the prohibition would apply at all times, not only during the election cycle. The ban operates year-round, every year, regardless of whether Albertans are anywhere near a ballot box. It applies to content about sitting politicians even when no one is voting. … continue

Iran launched a series of coordinated strikes on US interests and military bases across the Gulf on Tuesday evening, targeting locations in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
Earlier on Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates reported that the satellite communications company “Thuraya,” based in Sharjah, had come under attack. The company serves as the space services arm of the “Space42” group and provides coverage across more than two-thirds of the globe.
In a statement issued today, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) delivered a direct warning to the “ignorant” US leaders, accusing them of sacrificing their country’s interests for the sake of “Israel”. … Full article
Press TV – April 7, 2026
Iran has declared a “historic and crushing defeat” of the United States and the Israeli regime after 40 days of war, announcing that Washington has been forced to accept a 10-point Iranian proposal that includes a permanent ceasefire, the lifting of all sanctions, and the withdrawal of US combat forces from the region.
In a statement addressed to the “noble, great, and heroic nation of Iran,” the Supreme National Security Council said the enemy had suffered an undeniable defeat and now saw “no way forward but to submit to the will of the great nation of Iran and the honorable Axis of Resistance.”
The announcement comes on Day 40 of the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran, which began with the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and top-ranking commanders on February 28.
According to the statement, the United States has agreed to a 10-point proposal that fundamentally commits Washington to… continue
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran had agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and a two-week truce would begin.
“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” the President posted.
Trump did not specify if Israel was a party to the truce. Iran has not confirmed that it agreed to the ceasefire or to reopen the Strait.
The President explained that the pause in fighting will give time for the two sides to work out a peace deal based on a framework proposed by Iran. “We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated,” he wrote.
A US official previously described the 10-point proposal as Iran’s “maximalist” position. The proposal called for establishing protocols for shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a permanent end to the conflict, war reparations, and the lifting of sanctions.
Trump made the ceasefire announcement just 90 minutes before a deadline he imposed on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was set to expire. He vowed to permanently destroy the country of Iran if Tehran did not reopen the strait by 8 PM on Tuesday.
Palestinian Information Center – April 7, 2026
AL-KHALIL – Two Palestinian civilians and a foreign solidarity activist were injured on Tuesday in an attack carried out by Jewish settlers in the Masafer Yatta area, south of al-Khalil.
Local activist Osama Makhamra reported that settlers from the “Ma’on” settlement, illegally built on Palestinian land, assaulted the family of Ahmad Barghash Al-Shawahin while they were grazing their sheep in the Wadi al-Jawaya area. The attack also targeted two foreign activists, leaving brothers Hamza and Saddam Al-Shawahin, along with one foreign activist, injured.
Palestinian Red Crescent crews provided first aid at the scene and transferred the injured to Yatta Governmental Hospital.
Makhamra added that the settlers smashed and stole the phone of Hamza Al-Shawahin, as well as the phones of the injured foreign activist and another solidarity activist.
The attack comes amid escalating tensions in the West Bank and a surge in settler violence. On Monday evening, three Palestinians, including a 70-year-old man, were injured in separate attacks. The elderly man was beaten in the town of Mikhmas, northeast of Occupied Jerusalem, while two young men were hospitalized after an assault in Deir Bzi’ west of Ramallah, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent. … Full article
Ten Palestinians were killed and others wounded on Monday in an Israeli occupation bombing and gunfire attack targeting a gathering of civilians east of the Maghazi refugee camp.
Medical sources reported that the bodies of ten Palestinians, along with a large number of wounded, were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, following the attack. No further details were immediately available regarding the circumstances of the strike.
The attack comes as Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement on a daily basis through shelling and gunfire. … Full article
A projectile that killed a UN peacekeeper in Lebanon last month was fired by an Israeli military tank, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said Tuesday, concluding its investigation into the deadly incident, Anadolu reports.
Based on analysis of the impact site and fragments recovered at the position, UNIFIL said the round was a 120mm tank main armament projectile fired by an Israeli Merkava tank from the east, in the direction of Ett Taibe.
UNIFIL noted that it had provided the Israeli military with the coordinates of all its positions and facilities March 6 and again March 22, weeks before the incident, in an effort to reduce risk to its personnel.
The peacekeeper was killed on the night of March 29 when a projectile struck a UNIFIL position near Adchit Al Qusayr. A second peacekeeper was critically injured in the strike. At the time, UNIFIL said the origin of the projectile was unknown and launched an investigation.
In its initial statement, UNIFIL said deliberate attacks on peacekeepers constituted grave violations of international humanitarian law and UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that ended the 2006 Lebanon War, and could amount to war crimes.
International Union of Scientists | April 1, 2026
The International Union of Scientists condemns the American-Israeli killings of scientists and bombing of universities.
On 12 March 2026, the Israeli military killed Dr. Hussein Bazzi, chemistry professor and Dean of the Faculty of Sciences, and Dr. Mortada Srour, Professor of Chemistry and Physics, two scientists at the Lebanese University’s Rafik Hariri Campus in Hadath. This killing of scientists occurred in the context of Israeli bombings and invasion that have displaced around one million Lebanese and killed over 1100, a crisis that has been compared to the Nakba of 1948 and the ongoing Gaza Genocide. Israel has been destroying housing, including the apartments of surgery professor Haytham Kaafarani and chemistry professor Bilal Kaafarani.
On 23 March, US-Israeli forces killed Dr. Saeed Shamghadri, a distinguished professor of engineering at the Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST), along with his two children and others in his building. Since then, the US and Israel have bombed at least 20 of Iran’s universities, including the IUST in Tehran and the Isfahan University of Technology. This destruction is part of a larger pattern of US-Israeli scholasticide in Iran, including the massacre of more than 170 people, mostly schoolchildren, at an elementary school in Minab, and the targeting of more than 600 schools across Iran. The US military also tested a new weapon on a school in Lamerd, killing 21, mostly children. … continue

The text was already diluted from the initial goal of obtaining clearance to “unblock” the strait by force. … continue
Destroying Iran’s power grid and bridges is easier said than done, according to former Pakistan Air Force colonel Sultan M. Hali.
Here’s why:
- No Yugoslav-style campaign: Iran’s vast size and limited tanker basing options rule out a repeat of the 1999 Kosovo air war
- Vulnerable tankers: Long distances force refueling aircraft to operate from exposed forward bases or on risky long-range missions
- Layered air defenses: Russian-made Tor-M1 and indigenous Bavar-373 systems threaten low/medium-altitude strikes
- Dual threat to carriers: Drone swarms can overwhelm defenses, while short-range ballistic and cruise missiles can target ships and bases
“The danger is not absolute, but it is significant enough to force US planners into cautious, resource-intensive operations,” the expert said.

German men who remain abroad for more than three months without prior approval may start facing penalties under a military-related legal requirement, according to the Berliner Zeitung.
The rule obliges men of fighting age, between the ages of 17 and 45, to obtain permission before extended stays abroad. It came into force on January 1, 2026, but April is when the first three-month period expires and enforcement may begin, the outlet has said.
Germany is in the process of a massive military buildup, with plans to spend reportedly more than €500 billion (around $580 billion) on defense by 2029. German officials have set 2029 as the deadline for the armed forces to be “war-ready” for a potential conflict with Russia. … continue

Secret service documents allegedly prove that the Ukrainians planned to blow up the Turkish and Blue Stream pipelines years ago, permanently cutting Europe off from cheap Russian gas, reports Magyar Nemzet, citing a report out of Ellenpont.
However, Serbia’s intelligence chief is denying that Ukrainians were the perpetrators, instead claiming that they had reports of a possible attack planned by a certain migrant gang group of radical muslims but had not considered it legitimate intel. However, this same chief also does not rule out that Ukraine was the contractor behind the scheme.
The Serbian section of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline was set on fire in a sabotage operation on Sunday. Since this pipeline supplies Hungary with gas, blowing up the pipeline would have put the country’s gas supply at risk.
The portal also reported that, in response to the explosives found near the TurkStream pipeline in Serbia last weekend, a presenter on one of Zelensky’s propaganda TV stations stated: “If the Ukrainians want to blow up the Turkish Stream, they will blow it up.” … continue

Sri Lanka will purchase crude oil from Russia after reaching an agreement with Moscow amid the energy crisis spurred by the Middle East conflict, the island nation’s transport minister, Bimal Rathnayake, has said.
Rathnayake told TASS on Monday that “energy is our priority today,” adding that the US-Israeli war on Iran has triggered a disruption in supplies to Sri Lanka.
“Russia’s deputy energy minister [Andrey Rudenko] visited Sri Lanka a few days ago. The deputy foreign minister has also visited Sri Lanka. They reached an agreement on oil supplies to the country,” Rathnayake told the news agency.
He added that the first crude supplies from Russia are expected in mid-April. … continue

Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force has declared the start of a “new phase” in Iran’s retaliatory operations against the US aggression, as the elite force warned earlier that any violation of red lines by the enemies will trigger a crushing response.
Posting a video on social platform UpScrolled, Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi said, “And now, the new phase of the war [has begun] with fresh, twin launchers for Fateh and Kheibar Shekan missiles, all previous strikes doubled.”
In a statement announcing the launch of the wave 99 of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC reiterated that Iran “has not been and will never be the one to initiate attacks on civilian targets.”
However, it added that the IRGC “will not hesitate to retaliate against despicable aggressions on civilian facilities.”
In response to any further attack on Iran’s civilian infrastructure, the IRGC forces “will inflict such damage on the infrastructure of the US and its partners that they will be deprived of the region’s oil and gas for years to come.”
The IRGC said that Washington’s regional allies need to be aware of the fact that the IRGC has so far “shown great restraint and exercised caution in selecting its targets for retaliation, out of respect for good neighborly relations.”
But the Iranian Armed Forces, the statement added, will cast aside all such considerations and self-restraint from now on. … Full article

A large explosion was reported in the industrial area of Jubail, one of the world’s key petrochemical centers, producing around 60 million tons and accounting for roughly 6–8% of global output, Fars News reported.
The area hosts major projects including Saudi petrochemical giant SABIC, as well as the Sadara complex (with US-based Dow Chemical shareholders) and the Amiral project involving Aramco and TotalEnergies.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense said seven ballistic missiles launched toward the Eastern Region were intercepted and destroyed.
Authorities added that debris fell near energy facilities, with damage currently being assessed.

Iran’s changing tactics in firing missiles toward the Israeli-occupied territories have created a real challenge for the Israeli regime’s missile interceptor systems, according to sources within the regime who say the systems are effectively failing to counter the growing threat of Iranian missiles.
A Tuesday report by IRNA cited analyses published in the Israeli media showing that Iran’s increasing use of missiles equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV) has become a major challenge for Israeli air defense systems. … continue

Despite ultimately recovering the aviators, the US operation to rescue F-15 crew members downed in Iran “was a debacle,” political analyst Tobias Nase tells Sputnik.
He argues that the true outcome of the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) effort was concealed from the public “to hide the fact that it turned into a huge operational success for Iran.”
Visual evidence indicates that during the operation, two C-130s and several helicopters were damaged and later destroyed—”either by Iran or by US forces themselves once it became clear they were no longer airworthy,” speculates the political analyst.
“That still marks these aircraft as losses,” he says.
Capturing the pilots would have been a major propaganda win for Iran, but even without that, they scored significant gains: they first shot down an American F-15, then located the CSAR operation base, forcing US forces to retreat in chaos—something Serbia failed to achieve when the stealth Nighthawk was downed during the 1999 Yugoslav war.
As for US casualties, with a CSAR that likely involved 100–200 troops on the ground, even if no bodies were publicly recovered, those troops could still have been retrieved and evacuated, the analyst contends.
“The US is again hiding the real casualties of this war. Every dead soldier risks eroding Trump’s public support,” he observes.

A historic synagogue belonging to the Jewish community in Tehran has been destroyed in a pre-dawn airstrike carried out by the United States and the Israeli regime, Iranian officials and community representatives confirm.
The attack, which occurred on Tuesday at approximately 3:00 AM local time, targeted the synagogue located in a residential area of the capital.
The building was completely demolished, and nearby residential homes sustained severe damage.
Homayoun Sameyeh Najafabadi, the Jewish community’s representative in the Iranian Parliament, said no casualties or injuries were reported as the strike took place during early morning hours when the building was empty.
Sameyeh Najafabadi added that the synagogue was a place of worship that held significant historical value as one of Iran’s oldest Jewish houses of prayer.
“The Torah scrolls that were kept in this synagogue, which held a very high status, have also been destroyed and remain buried under the rubble,” he said.
The attack occurred during the Jewish holiday of Passover (Pesach), one of the most significant festivals in the Jewish calendar.
The Jewish community representative strongly condemned the strike, emphasizing that Tehran’s Jewish community has consistently opposed Zionist actions.
“Unfortunately, the criminal Zionist regime targeted a synagogue belonging to the Iranian Jewish community during the days of Passover, in light of the community’s firm stance in condemning the regime’s actions and its anti-Zionist positions,” Sameyeh Najafabadi stated. … Full article

American and Zionist aggressors have so far attacked 25 pharmaceutical companies and units across Iran, killing at least two pharmacists, as nearly 40 days have passed since a US-Israeli military coalition waged an unprovoked war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
Hadi Ahmadi, head of the Public Relations Office of Iranian Association of Pharmacists, provided the figures in a statement on Tuesday, noting that two major companies, namely Tofigh Daru and Iran’s Pasteur Institute, were directly struck by US and Israeli missiles.
The Tofigh Daru pharmaceutical research and production facility as well as the Pasteur Institute of Iran, which is the oldest and most prestigious research and public health center in Iran and the entire West Asia founded in 1920, were heavily damaged earlier this month. … Full article
US threats to target Iran’s electricity grid, refineries, and desalination plants would have devastating consequences for civilians while offering little military advantage, even the US-based Atlantic Council acknowledged.
“Striking Iran’s water-related infrastructure will immediately spark a crisis of disease, hunger, and thirst among Iran’s civilian population,” the report said.
The report also warns that targeting Iran’s infrastructure risks destabilizing the entire region. Gulf states, heavily dependent on energy-intensive desalination, could face severe water shortages within days if tensions escalate.
Rather than weakening Iran militarily, such actions could deepen mistrust of the United States and further aggravate the regional conflict.
“Destroying Iran’s civilian energy and water infrastructure would likely only serve to prolong and escalate the conflict,” the authors warn.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with strikes on its civilian infrastructure in multiple posts on Truth Social.
