Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has denied and condemned claims that he leaked the details of EU meetings to Moscow.
The allegations were reported by the Washington Post and Politico some three weeks prior to the Hungarian parliamentary election scheduled for April 12.
On Friday, the WaPo cited security officials claiming that Szijjarto had made regular phone calls during breaks at EU meetings to provide Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with “live reports on what had been discussed.”
On Sunday, Politico echoed the allegations, citing unnamed diplomats and officials who said Brussels had begun limiting the flow of confidential material to Hungary, forcing leaders to meet in smaller groups amid concerns that Budapest might leak sensitive information to the Kremlin. … continue

The war on Iran could disrupt the flow of Gulf capital across global markets, raising concerns about broader financial stability, according to economist Mohamed El-Erian, writing to the Financial Times.
While much attention has focused on energy markets and the resumption of oil production and shipments, El-Erian argued that an equally important issue is how the war may affect the Gulf’s relationship with international capital markets in the short term.
The six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have become major global financial players over decades, investing heavily across international markets.
El-Erian noted that there is a risk of a temporary shift in capital flows as Gulf countries face increased domestic financial demands amid the war, even if their long-term investment role remains intact. Such a shift could impact global interest rates and the distribution of funding, given the world’s growing reliance on GCC capital. … continue

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says the world has grown thoroughly exhausted with the US-Israeli “false flag storylines.”
In a post on his X account on Monday, Esmaeil Baghaei reacted to the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s stance, which rejected the recent claims by Israeli regime officials regarding Iran’s missile program posing a threat to Europe.
“That even the NATO Secretary General (who is infamously pressing Alliance members to appease the US and support their illegal war on Iran) declines to endorse Israel’s most recent disinformation, speaks volumes: the world has grown thoroughly exhausted with these tired and discredited “false flag” storylines,” he noted.
Israeli officials, over the past two days, claimed the interception of an Iranian missile targeting a British military base in Diego Garcia.
They presented Iran’s missile program as a threat to continental Europe. … continue

The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of Iran’s Armed Forces, Brigadier General Ibrahim Zolfaghari, detailed a series of military operations carried out on Sunday against Israeli and US assets across the region.
In a televised statement, Zolfaghari said Iranian forces launched Arash-2 loitering munitions targeting sites near “Israel’s” Ben Gurion Air Base, including aerospace facilities, as well as reconnaissance aircraft positions at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
He confirmed the execution of wave 74 of Operation True Promise 4, targeting US military bases across the region, alongside positions in central and southern areas across the Israeli entity. The operations, he said, were conducted in line with pre-planned scenarios using advanced tactics and weapon systems.
The spokesperson added that additional strikes were carried out using Emad, Fattah, and Qiam missiles, in addition to drones, targeting US assets including Prince Sultan Air Base and the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, as well as affiliated armed groups.
Zolfaghari further stated that military and security sites in Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, Holon, and Ramat Gan were struck using Khorramshahr-4, Kheibar Shekan, and Qadr missiles, causing significant damage.
He also discussed the 75th wave of Operation True Promise 4, noting that new targets were identified based on intelligence gathered by reconnaissance units. These included troop positions and locations where Israeli forces were reportedly hiding across multiple areas, which were subsequently struck. … Full article

The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has issued a direct warning to American and Israeli “terrorist military forces,” saying they are “under full monitoring” by the country’s operational intelligence units.
In a statement, Lieutenant-colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari specifically warned that hiding within civilian population centers, referencing an incident in a town in Arād, would not provide safety due to the comprehensive intelligence dominance of Iranian forces.
The statement declared that the strategic confusion within US Central Command (CENTCOM), the collapse of the multi-layered US-Israeli air defense network in West Asia, and disruptions to American weapons supply chains have altered the dynamics of the war in Iran’s favor.
He reiterated previous warnings that the US and the Israeli regime would find themselves mired in a “quagmire” should a regional or all-out war erupt.
The statement sharply criticized US and Israeli politicians, describing them as “malicious and child-killing” leaders who issue rhetoric from afar while using their own soldiers and the region’s Muslim populations as human shields for their failed policies.
Addressing American political leaders directly, particularly calling out “the imprudent US President Donald Trump,” the spokesperson warned they would be held accountable by the American people.
He emphasized that under their policies, US soldiers are being “massacred daily” in a war of their own making, slamming the US government for censoring war news and avoiding the publication of true casualty figures.
“If your criminal army discloses the real and timely statistics of the dead and wounded,” the spokesperson added, “the foundation of your cowardly army will collapse, soldiers will disobey their commanders, and you will face the firm opposition of your own people, who will not allow you to send their children to their deaths.” … Full article

Some US military personnel are disappointed with the military attack against Iran and say they “do not want to die for Israel,” the HuffPost website reported citing sources.
The publication, which interviewed military personnel, reservists, and human rights organizations advocating for military personnel, claims that some US military personnel involved in this conflict are complaining of vulnerability, severe stress, disappointment, and disillusionment, to the point that they are even considering leaving the military.
“I’m hearing out of service members’ mouths the words, ’We do not want to die for Israel — we don’t want to be political pawns,'” a reservist and mentor of young soldiers is quoted as saying in the article.
It is noted that another reservist, who maintains contact with the military involved in the conflict, also spoke to Huffpost about a similar trend.
The publication emphasized that discontent within the US military related to Washington’s operations in the Middle East, as well as problems with morale among service members, may make the campaign less likely to succeed.
The publication notes that reservists cite the lack of a clear, consistent narrative justifying a war against Iran as the main demoralizing factor.
On Friday, CBS News reported citing informed sources that the Pentagon had prepared detailed plans for the possible deployment of ground troops in Iran to provide the Trump administration with a full range of military scenarios amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
By Martin Jay | Strategic Culture Foundation | March 23, 2026
Trump’s latest move in Iran, to consider mobilizing a second larger tranche of troops, might be the act of a lunatic who genuinely believes there can be a positive outcome for America and Israel in the Iran War. What we may be witnessing is a new, more desperate, extreme strategy after he has come to terms that virtually all of the first strategy has ended in disastrous consequences. Certainly we can assess that he is considering such a move.
Yet despite all the hype from U.S. media, it is important to stress that Trump has not yet acted. He is looking at the possibility of a deployment of 8,000 troops with the view of taking Kharg Island in combination with an 800-mile stretch of the Iranian coastline, heavily fortified with troops and missiles aimed at both the choke point of the Straits of Hormuz and also beyond it.
Any military strategist will surmise that this idea is even more whacky than the initial plan, which, it has transpired, was carried out with no planning or assessment whatsoever.
The assumptions are simply preposterous. … continue

A withering critique from longtime Washington insider and former top spy Leon Panetta has intensified scrutiny of US President Donald Trump’s handling of the war against Iran.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper on Sunday, Panetta, who previously also served as the US defense secretary (now war secretary), warned that the United States finds itself ensnared in a rapidly deteriorating crisis with few viable paths forward.
He portrayed an administration led by Trump that has slipped into a precarious position after weeks of unprovoked and unjustified aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which began with the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on February 28.
He said Trump is “stuck between a rock and a hard place” and warned that his administration’s approach projects an image of weakness on the international stage. … continue
TEHRAN – Tehran will mine all sea lanes in the Persian Gulf in the event of an attack on the coast of the country or islands, the Iranian Defense Council said on Monday.
“We remind you that in the event of any attempt by the enemy to attack the coast or islands of Iran, all sea lanes in the Persian Gulf, as well as the coast, will be mined,” the council said in a statement, as quoted by the Fars news agency.
The passage through the Strait of Hormuz is possible only for countries that are not hostile to Iran, if this issue is coordinated with Tehran, the statement added.
The United States sees no alternative to conducting a ground military operation to capture Iran’s Kharg Island and is accelerating troop deployments to the region, Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post reported earlier, citing sources familiar with the matter.
On March 20, Axios reported that US President Donald Trump is prepared to seize Kharg Island to pressure Tehran into opening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
A US official told the newspaper that “the US military has accelerated the deployment of thousands of Marines and Navy personnel to the Middle East.”
On March 22, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that all options remained on the table and did not rule out the possibility of sending US troops to the Iranian island.

US President Donald Trump announced Monday that he has postponed military strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days, claiming that Washington and Tehran have held “very good and productive conversations” over the past two days toward resolving the war.
The announcement came hours before a deadline Trump had issued on Saturday, in which he threatened that Iranian power plants would be destroyed if Tehran failed to “fully open” the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping within 48 hours, prompting a swift and decisive warning by Tehran that power infrastructure feeding US bases and “Israel” in the region would be targeted.
After Trump’s statements, Iranian officials swiftly rejected claims of direct negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
Iran State TV, citing the Foreign Ministry, reported: “There are no talks between Tehran and Washington.”
The Foreign Ministry further characterized Trump’s remarks as an attempt to manipulate global energy markets and buy time for his military plans.
“Yes, there are initiatives from some countries in the region to de-escalate tensions, and our response to all of them is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all such requests should be directed to Washington.” … continue

A British court has heard evidence that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) “misled” its audience during the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
The evidence was presented as part of documents in a case being heard by a UK employment tribunal, in which five journalists of Arab origin accuse the BBC of discrimination and of unfairly dismissing four of them for refusing what they described as racist and discriminatory practices within BBC Arabic service.
The five complainants are Ahmed Rouaba, of Algerian origin; Dima Odeh, of Syrian origin; Nahed Najar, of Palestinian origin; and Mohamed El-Ashiry and Amer Sultan, both of Egyptian origin. The claimants are represented in the case by John Barnes from Albertson Solicitors. This is the first case of its kind brought by this number of journalists from the Arabic of the BBC Service of World Service against the long-standing news corporation.
Veteran journalist Amer Sultan, who is of Egyptian origin and one of the five claimants, accused BBC management of unfair dismissal. He said this was partly due to his reporting of what he described as “serious breaches” of the BBC editorial guidelines in the early weeks of the Israeli war on Gaza, which began on 7th October 2023.
During last court session, it was revealed that Sultan—who worked for 17 years on the BBC’s Arabic website and television—had reported examples of breaches of the Guidelines to BBC World Service management. … Full article

A UN expert says that the Israeli regime systematically tortures Palestinians on a scale “that suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent.”
In a report released on Friday, Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur on the rights situation in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, said that since October 7, 2023, when the Israeli regime began a genocidal war on Gaza, Palestinians in custody “have been subjected to exceptionally ruthless physical and psychological abuse.”
Entitled “Torture and genocide”, the report “examines Israel’s systematic use of torture against Palestinians from the occupied Palestinian territory since October 7, 2023.”
“Torture in detention has been used on an unprecedented scale as punitive collective vengeance,” the report said.
Brutal beatings, sexual violence, rape, lethal mistreatment, starvation, and the systematic deprivation of the most basic human conditions have inflicted profound and lasting scars on the bodies and minds of tens of thousands of Palestinians and their loved ones,” the report stated.
Torture has become integral to the domination of and punishment inflicted on men, women and children, both through custodial abuse and through a relentless campaign of forced displacement, mass killings, deprivation and destruction of all means of life to inflict long-term collective pain and suffering, it warned. … continue

The case of the Russian LNG tanker Arctic Metagaz, which, after being struck by a Ukrainian drone, is now adrift uncontrolled off our coast, with a cargo of liquefied natural gas, is emblematic of Italy’s predicament, caught between two wars – one in Europe and the other in the Middle East – both provoked by the same power politics pursued by the United States and its allies.
The WWF announced that it is closely monitoring the Russian LNG tanker Arctic Metagaz, which is adrift in the Strait of Sicily following a series of explosions that occurred between 3 and 4 March. The vessel, which is unmanned and out of control, is carrying an extremely dangerous cargo of approximately 900 tonnes of diesel and over 60,000 tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG). A potential spill – warns the WWF – could cause fires, lethal cryogenic clouds and widespread, long-lasting pollution of the water and the atmosphere. The environmental risk is very high and potentially irreversible, with serious repercussions for the economies of the Pelagie Islands, which rely on fishing and tourism. The gravity of the situation is confirmed by the fact that Italy, France and seven other countries have called for prompt action by the European Commission.
What caused this disaster?
Alfredo Mantovano, Undersecretary to the Prime Minister, stated in an interview that it was an “accident involving the Russian vessel”. The government is thus attempting to conceal the true cause: as we reported in Grandangolo on 6 March and as the photos of the wreck show, the Russian vessel Arctic Metagaz was struck by a Ukrainian naval drone launched from Libya. … continue

“The vulnerability exposed here is not a single system failure, but the limits of even advanced layered defenses when overwhelmed by scale, coordination, and mixed attack profiles,” he explains in the wake of Iranian strikes against Dimona and Arad. … continue
Sources speaking with CBS News said that military commands submitted specific requests to prepare for a ground invasion of Iran.
The US deployed a second Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) to the Middle East last week, the sources explained. The USS Boxer will join the USS Tripoli in the region for a potential ground invasion of Iran. The Department of War is also preparing to deploy portions of the 82nd Airborne.
Axios reported on Friday, speaking with sources who said President Donald Trump is considering an occupation or blockage of Iran’s Kharg Island. The oil facilities on the island, which is located 15 minutes from the mainland in the Persian Gulf, handle 90% of Iran’s oil exports.
“He wants Hormuz open. If he has to take Kharg Island to make it happen, that’s going to happen. If he decides to have a coastal invasion, that’s going to happen. But that decision hasn’t been made,” a senior administration official told the outlet.
Trump is also threatening to escalate attacks on Iran’s power plants if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Republic said it will respond with strikes on civilian infrastructure across the region and the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel’s military chief Eyal Zamir said that the war was at its “halfway point.” On Saturday, an Iranian missile hit Dimona, the city where Israel bases its secret nuclear weapons program. Following the attack, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the US and Israel would “intensify” and “significantly increase” their strikes on Iran in the coming week.
The US defenses are “bloated” in Israel, while also spread across the Gulf countries to protect American bases, so they can’t intercept all the Iranian drones and missiles, former colonel of Pakistan’s Air Force Sultan M. Hali tells Sputnik, commenting on recent Iran’s strikes against Dimona and Arad.
“US defense systems… are mostly 20th Century defense systems. What Iran is using is the 21st Century systems for which the Americans and the Israelis were not prepared,” he says.
Iran is launching volleys of drones and missiles simultaneously, which overwhelms Israeli defense systems like the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow, and THAAD, the expert explains.
Another aspect is that the IRGC missiles use low or evasive trajectories to exploit the blind spots of Israeli radars, he adds.
“Even advanced systems, they struggle against massed coordinated attacks, especially when the attackers combine cheap drones with precision missiles,” Hali says.
The effects of Iran getting limited dominance over Israeli skies can be divided into three points, he explains.
Psychological effect — Iran proved it can penetrate Israeli defenses, which undermines Israel’s deterrence and enhances Iranian negotiations position.
Operational leverage — Israel is forced to relocate its resources to defense instead of offensive actions.
Conflict trajectory shift — Israel will try to hit Iran harder to retaliate, but should expect to face high costs.

Israeli aggression against Lebanon continued to escalate on Sunday, with intensified airstrikes and drone attacks targeting multiple areas across southern Lebanon.
At dawn, an Israeli drone struck a car at the area linking the towns of Burj Al-Muluk, Khiam and Kfar Kila, wounding three people on board.
According to Al-Manar’s correspondent, Israeli warplanes carried out successive raids on several towns, including Zawtar Al-Gharbiya and the outskirts of Mashghara, with no casualties reported. Additional strikes targeted the towns of Al-Sawana and Al-Sultaniya in the early hours of Sunday.
Our correspondent also reported that a barrage of artillery, smoke, and machine-gun fire targeted the area near of the confrontation lines between Israeli forces and resistance fighters in the eastern and northern neighborhods of Khiam city border city. Airstrikes were also reported near the city.
Airstrikes also hit Al-Rihan and Al-Qatrani in the Jezzine district, while Wadi Al-Haniya came under intermittent artillery shelling. Nabatieh al-Fawqa was also targeted in a separate raid on Sunday morning.
In Bint Jbeil, an Israeli drone launched a two-stage strike near Salah Ghandour Hospital, raising concerns over the proximity of attacks to civilian infrastructure and health facilities. Meanwhile, a building along the Haboush–Nabatieh highway was hit by two consecutive airstrikes at dawn, though neither missile detonated.
Shortly after midnight, Israeli warplanes struck the town of Kfar Tebnit. Additional attacks targeted the border town of Naqoura, while artillery shelling intermittently hit Mount Labouneh on its outskirts.
The series of strikes reflects a continued escalation in Israeli military operations across southern Lebanon.

US dirty war Iran has come under renewed scrutiny following explosive admissions by Joe Kent, the former Director of the US National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). In a recent interview on The Scott Horton Show, Kent detailed how Washington employed radical Sunni extremist groups as proxies to undermine Iranian influence across the Middle East.
Kent, a decorated Special Forces veteran and former CIA officer appointed under the Trump administration, described the strategy as a deliberate “dirty war”. He asserted that the Pentagon armed and strategically supported salafist mercenary elements—including factions linked to Al Qaeda and eventually ISIS—primarily in Syria.
The goal, according to Kent, centered on weakening governments and movements aligned with Tehran. “We did it because Assad was a friend of Iran, helping Hezbollah and Hamas from Syria,” he stated. The US relied heavily on the most radical Sunni elements as proxies, even as moderate groups like the Free Syrian Army existed on paper.
This approach directly contradicted Washington’s public narrative of unwavering opposition to terrorism. By bolstering these groups, US policy contributed to instability that later justified prolonged military interventions, airstrikes, and bases across West Asia. … continue

Lieutenant General Nick Perry, running overseas missions from Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJH), could potentially give the order to fire salvos at Iran if authorized by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, defense sources told the outlet.
This comes as Starmer recently caved to US pressure and allowed the use British bases to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz.
The decision triggered a mass rally in London, where thousands took to the streets to protest US-Israeli aggression against Iran.

Iran’s huge leap in missile capability allowed it to punch through Israel’s vaunted multi-layered air defense shield, says political science and international relations expert Dr. Simon Tsipis. That explains why several warheads in Iran’s retaliatory strike on Dimona, home to Israel’s nuclear research facility shielded by Israeli and US defenses, reached their target area, Dr. Simon Tsipis tells Sputnik.
According to the analyst:
- Attack exposed weaknesses of Israel’s Iron Dome, built to intercept short-range rockets and mortars – not Iran’s intermediate-range ballistic missiles
- Iran’s military capabilities now allow it to launch ballistic missiles at ranges exceeding 2,000 km — including Diego Garcia joint US-UK military base
- Iran employs saturation tactics, launching swarms of decoys like drones and low-caliber missiles to overwhelm defensive systems before the main missile strikes
“Until now, it had been assumed that Iranian missiles would lose momentum and speed at the limits of their range. It is now evident that they retain significant power and velocity during the terminal phase of flight,” says the pundit.
The geopolitics expert breaks down the brutal US/Israel reputational damage:
- While Iran has just burnished its credentials as a serious military power, arms buyers everywhere are taking note of Arrow, Patriot, and THAAD failures
- Iran’s claimed airspace dominance puts US bases on notice worldwide, while bringing much of Europe within Iran’s missile range
The sheer reach of Iran’s new arsenal deals a humiliating blow to Israeli intelligence, which had long insisted it knew every detail of Iran’s capabilities
“Clearly, hidden breakthroughs went undetected,” he says.
In Dr.Tsipis’ opinion, Iran likely chose not to score a direct hit on Dimona’s nuclear reactor to avoid escalation. But it has sent a clear message: “Israel’s most heavily guarded site lies within striking range of Iranian systems.”

“Iran’s electrical power generation and grid are highly decentralised – there are well over 400 power stations of varying sizes but the largest accounts for only 2.9% of Iranian power generation.”
The analyst further noted that even Russia, with a far larger arsenal, has struggled to seriously degrade Ukraine’s more concentrated grid after months of sustained strikes.

The Associated Press on Sunday reported that Iranian strikes on US-linked gas infrastructure in Qatar is now threatening to disrupt not only global energy markets, but also key technology supply chains, due to the role Qatar plays in helium production.
The strikes come in direct response to the earlier targeting of Iran’s own energy sector, particularly the attack on the South Pars gas field, the country’s largest and most strategic source of natural gas. Iranian officials had warned that any attempt to hit its economic infrastructure would be met with reciprocal measures across the region, signaling a shift toward targeting energy assets tied to the broader war effort.
Qatar, which shares the same gas reservoir with Iran, became part of this escalation, with strikes on Ras Laffan reflecting a deliberate mirroring of earlier attacks on Iranian facilities. … continue

US President Donald Trump’s brazen military assault on Iran – launched at the behest of the Israeli regime – lays bare an unvarnished truth: Zionist interests have effectively captured American foreign policy.
Broader imperial objectives have been sidelined in favor of the settler colony’s agenda.
A group of analysts continues to cling to the notion that the Zionist entity functions as a strategic asset – a forward outpost – for the American Empire. Yet the coordinated strikes on Iranian soil tell a different story. Far from acting as a subordinate ally, Tel Aviv now dictates the terms, with Washington following suit.
This is no simple case of the tail wagging the dog. More accurately, the agents of the tail have not merely tugged at the leash; they have colonized and captured the vital organs of the dog itself, steering the body of American policy toward unnecessary wars that serve a singular, foreign interest over its own imperial interests. … continue

Bahrain’s government has admitted that a US Patriot air defense system was involved in the March 9 interception over the Sitra residential area that left dozens of civilians injured, Reuters reported.
This admission directly refutes the account offered by US Central Command, which had attributed the casualties to an Iranian drone strike.
In a statement to Reuters, a Bahraini government spokesperson said the Patriot system intercepted an Iranian drone, insisting that the operation “prevented a drone strike and saved lives.”
CENTCOM had previously maintained that an Iranian drone directly struck a residential neighbourhood. Bahrain’s admission that a Patriot missile was involved now places both accounts in open contradiction with the footage and with each other. … continue

The War In Iran has seriously escalated in recent days with Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities, and a retaliatory Iranian strike on Dimona, the Israeli city housing its secret Nuclear Weapons development centre .
Israel struck a nuclear enrichment site in Natanz, Iran, and in response, Iran struck, Dimona, in what was apparently a strike targeting the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center located just outside of the city.
For Iran, the fact that an Iranian missile was able to get through such an important strategic area means that Israel is effectively “defenseless”. … continue

How a Jewish gangster helped build—and then lost—Cuba’s Sin City
José Niño Unfiltered | March 21, 2026
For more than two decades, Meyer Lansky built what he believed would be his permanent kingdom in the Caribbean. The Jewish gangster from New York’s Lower East Side had transformed Havana into the gambling capital of the Western Hemisphere, a glittering playground where American tourists could indulge every vice under the protection of a dictator on the mob’s payroll. Then came Fidel Castro, a young Catholic revolutionary from the Cuban countryside who would destroy everything Lansky had built in a matter of weeks.
Their conflict was never personal. The two men likely never met or spoke. But the collision between Lansky’s criminal empire and Castro’s revolutionary movement would reshape Cuba, spawn assassination plots that entangled the CIA, and leave a trail of consequences that echoes into the present day.
More than half a century later, as Washington once again toys with the idea of remaking Cuba’s political order, the ghost of Meyer Lansky’s Havana hangs over every discussion of regime change: the dream of turning the island back into a glittering casino colony has never fully died. … continue

A prominent British cardiologist and public health campaigner risks investigation by the U.K.’s General Medical Council (GMC) and loss of his medical license after publicly questioning the safety of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
Dr. Aseem Malhotra described the situation to The Defender as “a very unusual case, probably unprecedented.”
Malhotra said that in 2021, soon after he began questioning the safety of the COVID-19 shots and helped overturn vaccine mandates for U.K. healthcare workers, the GMC received several anonymous complaints from doctors accusing him of spreading “COVID vaccine misinformation.”
The threat of a GMC investigation led Malhotra to publish an op-ed in The Telegraph last week.
It also spurred an open letter signed by over 150 medical and scientific professionals, who urged the council to stop its investigation.
Malhotra said the GMC will soon decide whether to refer his case to a formal hearing — a step that could lead to suspension or revocation of his license. … continue

Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out two separate attacks on Friday in the occupied West Bank, targeting an all‑girls school south of Nablus in the northern West Bank and Palestinian vehicles in the town of Tuqu’ southeast of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank.
Local sources reported that a group of colonizers invaded Al‑Lubban Al‑Sharqiya Girls School after smashing its main gate.
The attackers vandalized school property, destroying the pole bearing the Palestinian flag and causing additional material damage to several facilities inside the compound. … Full article

A Palestinian child was critically wounded on Friday after Israeli forces opened fire in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahia, in yet another violation of the “ceasefire” that has been in place since October 11, 2025.
The shooting unfolded against the backdrop of tightening restrictions on aid, worsening shortages, and renewed warnings from UN agencies that Gaza’s civilian population remains in acute danger.
Medical sources said the child was struck by live fire near Beit Lahia and rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
By late Friday, medical teams in Beit Lahia said the wounded child remained in critical condition. […]

Palestinian Information Center – March 21, 2026
BEIRUT – An Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon early Saturday killed one civilian and wounded two others, coinciding with aerial attacks on Beirut’s southern suburb following evacuation warnings for several neighborhoods.
According to Lebanon’s National News Agency, an Israeli warplane carried out a strike on a house in the town of al‑Ghandouriyah in the Bint Jbeil district, killing one person and wounding two others.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army launched aerial attacks on Beirut’s southern suburb following prior evacuation warnings for seven neighborhoods.
The Israeli army claimed in a statement that it was attacking military infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah in Beirut.
Heavy Israeli artillery shelling also targeted the town of Naqoura in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon.
In a related context, Hezbollah announced on Friday that it had carried out 55 counterattacks on Israeli military sites, using rockets, drones, and artillery projectiles.
Ashes of Pompeii | March 21, 2026
For centuries, the strategy of “divide and conquer” has been a cornerstone of Western geopolitical power. The British Empire mastered the art of ruling vast territories with minimal forces by exploiting internal divisions, setting local leaders against one another, leveraging ethnic tensions, and securing cooperation through selective incentives (aka bribes). The United States later employed similar tactics, from Cold War interventions to coalition-building in Iraq and Southeast Asia. The principle remains consistent: fracture opposition to maintain advantage.
Today, we are witnessing a role reversal in real time. Iran, long subjected to Western pressure and sanctions, is employing a parallel strategy regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Much of the west is not entirely enamoured of Trump’s Iran strategy but is afraid to openly challenge America. The closing of the Strait is economically catastrophic for most US allies and they are caught between a rock and a hard place – a vindictive Trump demanding support to open the Strait, and economic hardship.
In steps Iran with its own “divide and conquer” strategy, now reportedly negotiating with individual Asian and European countries a sort of Hormuz toll to allow tankers from these allied countries to pass through. And of course, they would each be required to not support the the US Navy if it attempts to open Hormuz. These discussions would be regarding tolls, security guarantees, and bilateral arrangements that would circumvent a collective response.
This approach carries significant strategic implications. … continue
Al Mayadeen | March 21, 2026
Iran has signaled it may allow Japanese-linked vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, in what appears to be a calibrated move aimed at maintaining essential energy flows for non-hostile states while continuing to impose pressure on countries involved in the ongoing aggression against it.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a phone interview with Kyodo news that Tehran is prepared to facilitate transit for Japanese ships, with discussions already underway with Tokyo. The development comes as maritime traffic through the strategic waterway remains severely limited following weeks of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, which triggered a broader regional confrontation and prompted Tehran to impose restrictions on shipping.
Iran has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz has not been universally closed, but rather restricted in response to an unprovoked war. Araghchi stressed this distinction, stating: “We have not closed the strait. It is open.”
He further clarified that limitations have primarily targeted vessels linked to states participating in the attacks, while countries maintaining neutral or diplomatic positions could be granted passage through coordination with Tehran. This approach reflects Iran’s effort to assert control over the waterway without fully halting global energy flows. … Full article

… The destruction of an American F-35 over Iran has sent shockwaves through defense establishments worldwide, undermining the foundational assumptions upon which dozens of nations have based their air force modernization strategies.
The F-35 program, already the most expensive weapons system in human history at an estimated $1.7 trillion over its lifecycle, was built on the premise of near-invulnerability—a stealth aircraft so advanced that it could operate freely in denied environments where fourth-generation fighters could not survive.
That premise is now untenable. Iran’s achievement has provided empirical proof that fifth-generation stealth aircraft are not immune to modern air defense systems, particularly those employing infrared and optical tracking methods that bypass radar-based countermeasures.
The implications for global defense procurement are already manifesting, with nations reassessing their commitments to the American platform. … Read full article

Iran is signaling that it is winning and has the power to impose a settlement on Washington that would cement Tehran’s influence over Middle East energy resources for decades, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ notes that Iranian officials appear to see time as working in their favor, suggesting they are not in a rush to end hostilities.
Despite repeated US and Israeli claims of successfully targeting missile launchers and stockpiles, the WSJ reported that Iran has retained the capacity to fire dozens of ballistic missiles and a large number of drones daily across the region.
In fact, the rate of attacks has increased in recent days compared with 10 days ago. Iranian strikes reportedly inflicted severe damage this week on US-linked energy infrastructure in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, while Iran’s own oil exports continued to flourish.
The WSJ added that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains contingent on Iranian permission, and that rising oil and gas prices are exerting pressure on the US administration to end the war. … continue
On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran has carried out retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on US military targets in the Middle East.
The damage caused by US and Israeli aggression against Iran amounted to approximately $53 billion for the 20 largest publicly traded airlines, the Financial Times reported, based on its own calculations.
Airline executives are warning of the consequences caused by the sustained rise in oil prices, disruptions at Gulf airports, and a potential hit to global demand, the Financial Times added.
In the coming months, passengers planning trips on routes that are not related to the Middle East will face a sharp rise in ticket prices as airlines try to protect their revenues, the newspaper reported.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is putting the lives of his compatriots at risk by allowing British bases to be used for aggression against Iran, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
The UK government on Friday approved the US use of UK bases for strikes against Iran’s missile sites.
“Vast majority of the British People do not want any part in the Israel-U.S. war of choice on Iran. Ignoring his own People, Mr. Starmer is putting British lives in danger by allowing UK bases to be used for aggression against Iran. Iran will exercise its right to self-defense,” Araghchi wrote on X. … Full article

The Natanz enrichment complex in central Iran was targeted in a renewed US-Israeli attack on Saturday morning, according to Iranian authorities.
The Shahid Ahmadi Roshan nuclear facility at Natanz was struck earlier today, March 21, marking another dangerous attack on a nuclear site in the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran.
The attack violates international law and obligations, including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), as well as regulations related to nuclear safety and security.
Following the strike, the country’s National Nuclear Safety System Center carried out technical assessments to evaluate the possibility of radioactive contamination at the site.
Authorities confirmed that no radioactive materials were released, adding that existing safety measures, prior planning, and continuous monitoring systems ensured that no threat is posed to residents in the surrounding areas.
Russia slams attack as violation of international law
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova slammed the attack on the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in Iran as a blatant violation of international law.
“This is a blatant violation of international law, the charters of the UN and the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency], as well as relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the Agency’s General Conference,” Zakharova said in a statement.
The US and “Israel” continue to launch massive strikes against Iranian military, civilian, and “most dangerously of all – nuclear facilities, with no regard for civilian casualties or the potential radiological and environmental consequences,” the spokeswoman added.
The UN and the IAEA must objectively assess the US and Israeli attack on the uranium enrichment facility in Iran, Zakharova said. … Full article

A US-Israeli attack struck residential homes in the Kiyanshahr area in Gilan, northern Iran early this morning, killing several civilians, an Iranian security official in the province reported on Saturday.
Iranian air defenses reportedly intercepted hostile targets over Tehran and over Bandar Abbas in the south of the country.
In a separate incident, a three-day-old infant and his family were killed in a US-Israeli strike on a rural home near the city of Arak, located in western-central Iran.
Human rights organizations remain silent over civilian toll in Iran
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) criticized the silence and inaction of human rights bodies, regional and global leaders, and human rights defenders in response to US and Israeli crimes.
Commenting on the deliberate targeting of civilians, Heidi Matthews, an assistant professor of law at Osgoode Hall, York University, said the primary reason for the ongoing destruction is the lack of political and legal accountability.
She added that most Western nations have failed to meaningfully support international legal efforts to hold Israeli leaders responsible for war crimes, including through the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
One of the most notable examples of the US-Israeli crimes in Iran is the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, which killed more than 160 schoolgirls.
