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.

The FDD document was authored by Tzvi Kahn, the former assistant director for policy and government affairs at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
A March 2, 2026 statement issued by the White House accusing Tehran of 44 instances of terrorism against American citizens is “virtually identical” to the list published by FDD in June 2025, analyst Stephen McIntyre noted Thursday. … continue

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations on Earth and Berlin should stop funding its government, Alternative for Germany party co-chair Alice Weidel has told the German parliament.
The exposure of a series of graft scandals involving Vladimir Zelensky’s inner circle has severely damaged his regime, which depends on hundreds of billions of euros from its European backers. As a result, several of Zelensky’s closest confidants have fled the country or been forced to resign.
Weidel asked German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Bundestag on Wednesday if his government wants to “continue financing one of the world’s most corrupt countries with billions to prolong a hopeless war.” The co-leader of the right-wing AfD party also urged Merz to “re-establish the broken lines of communication with Russia” and work toward the resumption of gas imports from the country instead.
Weidel called for sanctions on Moscow to be lifted, pointing out that the US has already begun doing so, referring to a waiver for the sale of Russian oil issued by Washington this month. … Full article

Five Russian Paralympians have been added to the ‘kill list’ run by Ukraine’s state-backed Mirotvorets website, which publishes the personal details of individuals it labels as ‘enemies’ of the state.
The athletes, placed on the list on Thursday, include alpine skier Aleksey Bugaev, and cross-country skiers Varvara Voronchikhina, Ivan Golubkov, Anastasia Bagiyan, and Sergey Sinyakin. They represented Team Russia at the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Italy and won eight golds, one silver, and three bronzes, placing the team third in the medal standings.
Mirotvorets has accused the athletes of “war propaganda” and “attacks on Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” and being “complicit” in Russia’s alleged “crimes” against the country.
The website, which claims that it operates independently but is linked to Ukraine’s security services, has been branded a ‘kill list’ after multiple people featured on it were later murdered or died under suspicious circumstances. Each entry notably includes a “date of elimination” field beneath the subject’s birthdate. … Full article

UK media has whitewashed Israel’s attempt to kill British war journalist Steve Sweeney and his Lebanese cameraman Ali Rida while they were broadcasting live from southern Lebanon on 19 March.
Footage shot by Rida shows Sweeney giving a news report about a previous Israeli strike when he realizes another strike is headed towards them. He quickly ducks as the missile is seen exploding as it hits the ground just meters behind him.
Sweeney was treated at the hospital to remove shrapnel from the bomb that was embedded in his arm.
While reporting on the strike, the BBC used a headline stating, “Missile lands next to presenter during live report from Lebanon.”
The headline did not mention that Israel had fired the missile, nor did it describe Sweeney as a journalist or war correspondent, while implying the strike was only random or simply an accident. … continue

An anti-Zionist group has claimed responsibility for a fire at a warehouse belonging to a defense firm linked to Israel’s Elbit Systems in the Czech Republic.
The Earthquake Faction, which describes itself as “an internationalist underground network,” posted a video purportedly showing the arson attack on an industrial facility in the Czech town of Pardubice on Friday, along with images of the burned-out building.
It said the site was used to “develop weaponry used by the Zionist entity to massacre people daily in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and across West Asia.”
Firefighters extinguished the blaze, no injuries were reported, and police said there was no danger to the public. Officials said the incident is being treated as a suspected terrorist attack.
The facility is operated by LPP Holding, a Czech arms manufacturer producing civilian and military equipment. In 2023, the company announced cooperation with Israel’s Elbit Systems on drone development.
Headquartered in Haifa, the firm is Israel’s largest defense manufacturer, specializing in unmanned systems, precision weapons, and electronic warfare equipment.
The Czech Republic, an EU and NATO member, is a close ally of Israel. Czech officials have supported US and Israeli military actions against Iran and condemned Iranian missile and drone attacks.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Friday unveiled a €5 billion ($5.7 billion) support package to shield households and businesses from the economic fallout of the Iran war, while sharply criticizing the conflict as illegal and destabilizing, Anadolu reports.
Sanchez said the war involving Israel, the US, and Iran violates international law and threatens Europe’s interests, warning it has already killed thousands of civilians and displaced around 4 million people in just 20 days.
“It is already provoking the first shockwaves of a global economic earthquake,” he said, pointing to 50% rises in fuel and 40% fertilizer prices.
“Even though we do not support this illegal war, we will do whatever it takes,” he added.
Sanchez said the €5 billion package represents a direct cost to Spanish taxpayers.
“This is money that could have gone to scholarships, healthcare or social care, but will instead be used to protect our economy, businesses and the most vulnerable,” he said.
He also expressed frustration with global leadership, saying he was “very angry” about decisions taken by certain governments.
The first pillar of the plan focuses on immediate support for households and businesses, including tax cuts on energy and a reduction in electricity VAT from 21% to 10%.
The government will also introduce fuel subsidies of up to €0.30 per liter, along with direct aid for sectors such as transport and agriculture. … Full article

For half a century, the Strait of Hormuz has been sold as an American lake. “Freedom of navigation” meant US carrier groups on one side, pliant Gulf monarchies on the other, and anyone who challenged that arrangement cast as a rogue. That era is dying in real time, and three tiny islands at the mouth of the strait in the Persian Gulf explain why.
Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb. On most Western maps, they’re a footnote about an Iranian–UAE “dispute.” In the real world, they sit astride the deep‑water lanes that carry a huge share of the planet’s oil and gas. Whoever holds these islands doesn’t just watch the traffic; they sit on its windpipe. Iran controls them. And after US‑Israeli strikes on its territory, including reported HIMARS and missile attacks on Abu Musa and Kharg launched from Emirati soil in mid‑March, Tehran is no longer treating them as bargaining chips. It is fortifying them as unsinkable enforcement platforms and folding them into a new doctrine for Hormuz. Tehran’s doctrine is not American “open seas,” but Iranian‑managed passage under conditions set by Tehran as the state that actually lives on the coastline. … continue

The joint statement did not, however, touch on any military involvement or the commitment of any forces to the initiative.

TEHRAN – Iran proposes creating a Middle East security structure with the participation of regional countries, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Friday.
“We are ready to resolve all problems with you. In order to ensure peace in the region, we propose to create a security structure in the Middle East, which will include Islamic countries, in order to ensure peace, stability and security,” Pezeshkian said in an address on the occasion of the Iranian New Year.
Middle Eastern countries do not need the presence of “outsiders,” the president said.

“They killed our leader and our commanders without any reason or logic,” Pezeshkian said in a speech marking the upcoming Iranian New Year.

Iran has signaled that it is ready to allow passage through the Strait of Hormuz to vessels from certain countries. Media reports and tracker data also suggest that a handful of pre-vetted tankers have already sailed smoothly through the “safe” corridor, with at least one shipping company allegedly paying Iran $2 million.
The development comes as more than 15 tankers have been hit by drones and projectiles in the strait since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran in late February.
As the Middle East escalation has roiled energy markets, the impact of a few tankers passing through has so far remained limited. Brent is still trading well above $100.

Washington has approved around $7 billion in arms to the UAE – as part of a larger package for Gulf states hosting US bases and currently facing retaliatory Iranian strikes, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.
The US State Department is “not required” to announce the billions in arms to the UAE “under the rules governing U.S. arms exports, which use different modalities for different types of sales,” the report said.
“The Trump administration on Thursday moved forward with $23 billion in weapons sales to the UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan,” in order to “bolster those countries militarily during the conflict with Iran,” US officials told WSJ.
“The proposed weapons sales include more than $16 billion announced earlier on Thursday by the State Department, including air-defense systems, bombs, and radar for the UAE, and $8 billion in air-defense equipment for Kuwait,” the report added.
The officials said the deals include the sale of Patriot PAC-3 Missiles (worth $5.6 billion) and CH-47 Chinook helicopters (worth $1.32 billion) to the UAE.
“The US also approved $37 million in so-called Direct Commercial Sales of Predator XP drones and sustainment programs for light B-250/350 aircraft with an unspecified dollar value,” the officials went on to tell WSJ. … continue

The disruption of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is beginning to reverberate far beyond energy markets, with new analysis warning that the effects could directly constrain the United States’ ability to sustain and replenish its military operations.
A report by the Modern War Institute, cited by The Guardian, describes the situation as a “paralyzing, real-time problem” for any attempt to expand US defense manufacturing, as well as for repairing equipment damaged in recent Iranian retaliations.
At the center of the concern is sulphur, a largely overlooked commodity that plays a foundational role in industrial production. According to the analysis, seaborne trade in sulphur passing through Hormuz, which accounts for roughly half of global shipments, has been nearly halted. Prices have already surged by around 25 percent since the start of the war, with year-on-year increases reaching 165 percent. … continue

Iran is producing more missiles amid the United States-Israeli war on the country, spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, emphasized.
For Iran, ballistic missiles serve as the backbone of its deterrence and retaliatory doctrine, enabling it to offset conventional military asymmetries through highly survivable, mobile, and scalable systems capable of delivering significant damage to adversary assets. One of the main focuses of the aggression on Iran has been its missile program, which the US and “Israel” seek to “obliterate”.
After firing hundreds of ballistic and cruise missiles at US and Israeli targets in the occupied territories, the Gulf, and the wider region, Naeini underlined that there should be “no concern” over Iran’s missile industry or its stockpiles. … continue

Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers, accompanied and protected by Israeli soldiers, carried out a series of coordinated attacks on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank on Thursday, assaulting residents, burning property, and triggering confrontations in several areas.
The attacks were concentrated in Nablus in the northern West Bank and Ramallah in the central West Bank and were coupled with military bulldozing of agricultural land east of the city.
In the village of Beit Imrin northwest of Nablus in the northern West Bank, colonizers attacked homes on the northern outskirts of the community, assaulting residents with physical violence and pepper spray.
Local sources reported that Israeli soldiers accompanied the colonizers, firing live rounds toward the homes to provide cover for the attack. Several residents were injured during the assault.
Earlier in the morning, a group of colonizers invaded Khirbet al‑Tawil east of Beit Furik northeast of Nablus, assaulting residents and injuring a 15‑year‑old boy.

In a statement, the Lebanese resistance said that its fighters ambushed an advancing Israeli force in Taybeh for the third time this week, destroying one Merkava tank before targeting a second advance of troops toward Deir Siryan, where five additional Merkava tanks were destroyed.
Soldiers were seen fleeing, and Israeli helicopters later attempted to evacuate casualties, Hezbollah added.
“The enemy army deployed a number of helicopters to evacuate the injured under heavy fire and smoke cover, but our Mujahideen proceeded to target the evacuation area with rocket and artillery fire.”
Earlier on Thursday morning, Al Manar TV correspondent Ali Shoeib reported intense clashes in Taybeh, adding that Hezbollah fighters were carrying out heavy attacks targeting Israeli forces.

Joe Kent, former head of the US National Counterterrorism Center, told Tucker Carlson in an interview this week that there was “no chance” for any dissenting voices in the lead-up to the war on Iran… […]
… Kent recounted a conversation he had with late US political commentator and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Despite holding staunchly pro-Israel views, Kirk became increasingly concerned about the US-Israel relationship toward the end of his life, according to text messages made public by political commentator Candace Owens.
“The last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this Earth was in June, in the West Wing. He looked me in the eye and he said … Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.”
He added that Kirk advised Trump multiple times and told him not to go to war with Iran.
“The investigation that I was a part of [with] the National Counterterrorism Center; we were stopped from continuing to investigate [Kirk’s killing] …
“One of President Trump’s closest advisors was vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink, at least, our relationship with the Israelis.”
“And then he’s suddenly publicly assassinated and we’re not allowed to ask any questions about that?”
“The investigation that I was a part of [with] the National Counterterrorism Center, we were stopped from continuing to investigate.”
“But there was still a lot for us to look into that I can’t really get into.”
“There’s unanswered questions.”
“We know, because of the text messages that have been made public, that Charlie was under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.”

The spokesperson for the Iranian armed forces, Khatam al-Anibya Central Headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, warned on Thursday that Iran’s strikes against energy infrastructure in the region are not over.
He stressed that further strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure would trigger an even stronger response that would target enemy assets and those of the allies of Iran’s enemies. Zolfaghari warned that future responses would not stop until adversary energy assets are “completely destroyed”. … continue

The US has been drawn by Israel into an “unlawful war” against Iran and needs help to disengage, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi has said.
In an opinion piece published in The Economist on Wednesday, the Middle East nation’s top diplomat called on US allies in the region to “tell the truth” about the conflict and admit that Washington “has lost control” of its own foreign policy. “There are two parties to this war who have nothing to gain from it,” he wrote, referring to the US and Iran. … continue

In the early hours of March 18, Israeli drones tore into four gas‑treatment plants in Assaluyeh on Iran’s southern coast, where sour gas from phases 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the South Pars field is cleaned, separated and turned into the fuel that keeps the country’s lights on, homes heated and factories supplied. Iranian officials ordered the plants offline to contain the fires, and industry analysts immediately warned that production from the offshore platforms feeding those trains would have to be cut back. Within an hour of the strike being reported, European gas prices and Brent crude jumped, because traders understood what most headlines did not. This was not a symbolic hit on an abstract “gas field,” but a deliberate attack on a conversion node at the heart of Iran’s domestic energy system and a critical pillar of the wider Gulf energy order.
At the same time, Donald Trump was on social media threatening that if Iran retaliated again against Qatar’s LNG hub at Ras Laffan, he would “blow up the entirety” of South Pars – the largest gas field on the planet, and interestingly, a reservoir Iran shares with Qatar. The man who joined Israel in authorising the first strikes on Iranian production facilities is now openly dangling the prospect of destroying the shared gas reservoir that keeps tens of millions of people warm, powered and employed. That is not deterrence, only a head of state experimenting in public with the language of total economic annihilation.
Trump’s own Truth Social post about the strike reads like a rambling attempt to distance Washington from the attack while threatening to “blow up the entirety” of South Pars if Iran hits Qatar again. The post deserves closer attention later in this story. … continue

Gas futures rose by up to 35 percent, with prices reaching 70.7 euros per megawatt-hour, the highest level since the start of the ongoing regional conflict, according to financial reports. Oil prices also climbed. Brent crude reached $112.24 per barrel before surpassing $113, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose to $96.52 per barrel. Murban crude increased to $116.77 per barrel.
The market reaction follows a series of strikes targeting key energy facilities. In Iran, parts of the South Pars gas field—the world’s largest—were shut down after bombings carried out by the United States and Israel. Operations in the affected sections were halted to contain fires and prevent further spread.
Amid the escalation, Iranian authorities warned that refineries and petrochemical complexes in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar had become “direct and legitimate targets,” urging civilians and workers to stay away from those sites.
Between March 18 and 19, Iran launched a large-scale wave of attacks targeting what it described as “oil facilities linked to the United States” across the region. Reported targets included a liquefied natural gas plant in Bahrain, multiple LNG facilities in Qatar, and energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
QatarEnergy confirmed damage to its installations. “In addition to the previous attack carried out on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, against Ras Laffan Industrial City, which caused significant damage to the Pearl LNG plant, QatarEnergy confirms that, in the early hours of Thursday, March 19, 2026, several of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities were targeted by missile attacks, resulting in large fires and additional significant damage,” the company said in a statement published on X. … Full article

The Scandinavian airline Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) has become the first carrier in Europe to scrap flights in response to a dramatic spike in fuel costs, with at least 1,000 flights canceled. Serving as the national airline for Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the company stated that it must scale back operations as jet fuel prices soar due to ongoing instability in the Middle East.
“The price of jet fuel has doubled in ten days,” said CEO Anko van der Werff to Swedish business daily Dagens Industri. “Even if we try to absorb cost increases as much as possible, this is a shock that directly hits the airline industry.”
“We are cancelling a few hundred flights in March, but trying to protect our traffic as much as possible,” said the SAS boss, who stated that more cancellations are possible after Easter. […]
SAS finds itself in a particularly vulnerable position because it participated in fewer “fuel price hedging transactions” in recent years. These financial arrangements typically allow airlines to lock in fuel at a “pre-fixed price, thus protecting themselves from price fluctuations.”
In contrast, larger groups like International Airlines Group (the parent company of British Airways) and budget carriers like Ryanair remain better insulated for now because a high percentage of their fuel needs were “pre-committed.” Nevertheless, experts caution that even more protected firms may be forced to raise ticket prices once these hedging arrangements expire.
While SAS has already increased its fares to combat rising expenses, other major players like Air France-KLM, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas have implemented similar price hikes without yet resorting to cancellations. … Full article

The Iranian foreign minister says ordinary Americans bear the brunt of the illegal US-Israeli aggression against Iran with the trillion-dollar “Israel First tax” that is expected to hit US economy.
Abbas Araghchi made the remarks in an X post on Thursday after The Washington Post reported that the US Ministry of War seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for the military assault against Iran.
The top Iranian diplomat described the figure as “the tip of the iceberg” as the war is about to enter its fourth week, contrary to what the enemies had predicted to be a short one.
“We’re only three weeks into this war of choice, imposed on both Iranians and Americans,” he said.
“This $200b is the tip of the icerberg. Ordinary Americans can thank [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu and his lackeys in Congress for the trillion-dollar “First Israel tax” that is about to hit US economy.” … continue

War is often sold to the public as an act of national will: decisive, necessary, and under control. The bill arrives later, in a quieter form. It shows up in insurance markets, shipping rates, emergency guarantees, higher fuel prices, and sudden policy reversals designed to keep the economic damage from spreading too far or too fast. That is what is now happening with the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The fighting is not only destroying lives and widening instability. It is also revealing something more familiar about the American state: when private actors no longer want to bear the risk of a war Washington helped ignite, Washington moves to spread that risk across everyone else. … continue

American hostility to Cuba has been going on longer than commonly believed. That hostility was not originally about communism.

Pro-Palestine activists protested on Wednesday at the Free University of Brussels’ (VUB) Etterbeek campus, demanding that the university administration end its collaboration with an Israeli defense-linked company, Anadolu reports.
Demonstrators hung a large banner reading “VUB helps kill Palestinians” and placed portraits of Palestinian figures across the campus, accusing the university of complicity through its research partnerships, Flemish-language daily Het Nieuwsblad reported.
The protest condemned VUB’s collaboration with OIP Sensor Systems, which is owned by Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest private arms manufacturer.
Protesters demand that the partnership, which is being conducted through the university’s research center, be terminated immediately.
They claimed that technologies developed in such collaborations could have dual-use applications, including military surveillance and drone systems. … continue

Israeli settlers sexually assaulted a Palestinian man during a raid on the community of Khirbet Humsa in the northern Jordan Valley, according to witness testimony cited by Haaretz, in an attack that survivors say also involved beatings, threats of rape, the humiliation of women and girls and the looting of livestock and valuables.
Testimonies from eyewitnesses showed that settlers split into small groups and moved through the community, dragging residents from their homes, binding their hands and feet with zip ties and throwing men, women and children onto the ground. Some victims were doused with cold water while restrained and beaten with clubs and knives visible. … continue

The economic costs of the U.S. and Israel’s decision to start a war with Iran have already reverberated throughout the international economy. Oil prices rose, the stock market fell, and U.S. mortgage rates jumped sharply, raising the cost to buy a home for Americans. Unsurprisingly, public opinion polls have found that Americans are resoundingly opposed to Trump’s Iran war.
Yet, one sector has profited massively from the devastating conflict: Pentagon contractors. … continue

US President Donald Trump believes that involving many countries in a naval coalition would force Iran to surrender under international pressure, or at least agree to a ceasefire and enter negotiations with those countries without preconditions.
The last thing Trump expected was for what he thought would be a short, hours-long confrontation to stretch into days and weeks, and then turn into a full-fledged war of attrition.
This is a scenario he neither anticipated nor has the personal capacity to bear, given its potentially disastrous consequences for his country and the world.
It has become clear that Iran had long prepared for this all-out confrontation and that its leadership was certain it would happen at some point. Turning it into a prolonged war of attrition, both geographically and over time, appears to be a central pillar of the Iranian strategy to exhaust the US, the Zionist regime, and their regional and international allies. … continue
MEMO | March 18, 2026
Iraq’s Electricity Ministry said Wednesday that Iranian gas flows have stopped following developments in the region, significantly reducing power generation and taking about 3,100 megawatts offline, Anadolu reports.
The disruption came after Iranian media reported that several facilities linked to the South Pars gas field in the Assaluyeh energy zone on Iran’s southern Gulf coast were targeted Wednesday with missile attacks.
Iran holds 43 gas fields, with South Pars the most significant. It is the world’s largest natural gas field, and it is shared with Qatar, where it is known as the North Field.
The development comes amid global concerns that Iranian energy infrastructure could be targeted by US or Israeli strikes during the war, now in its third week, potentially causing major economic and environmental damage across the region.
The Iraqi News Agency (INA) quoted Electricity Ministry spokesperson Ahmad Moussa, who said that “as a result of developments in the region, Iranian gas flows to Iraq stopped completely about an hour ago, causing roughly 3,100 megawatts to go offline.”
Moussa said authorities had directed increased coordination with the Oil Ministry to compensate for the lost gas using alternative fuels and domestic gas supplies. […]
Iran supplies Iraq with 50 million cubic meters of gas per day, covering roughly one-third of the country’s needs and generating 6,000 megawatts of electricity daily. … Full article

The Qatari Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel’s attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field, which is jointly operated by Iran and Qatar. The ministry said that strikes on Pars constitute “a threat to global energy security.”
Gas processing facilities on the Iranian side of the field were damaged in strikes on Wednesday. While Israel has not taken responsibility for the strikes, Axios reported that they were carried out by Israeli forces in coordination with the US.
In a post on X, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari blamed the destruction on Israel.
“The Israeli targeting of facilities linked to Iran’s South Pars field, an extension of Qatar’s North Field, is a dangerous and irresponsible step amid the current military escalation in the region,” he wrote. “Targeting energy infrastructure constitutes a threat to global energy security, as well as to the peoples of the region and its environment.” … continue

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz recently met with the soldiers responsible for raping a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman torture facility, ordering their reinstatement to the army and apologizing to them for the “injustice” they faced.
The meeting came days after the charges against them were officially dropped.
According to Hebrew media reports, including Channel 14, the soldiers from Force 100 attended the meeting with Katz wearing masks, in order to conceal their identities.
During the meeting, Katz told the soldiers, “I apologize for the injustice the system has done to you,” referring to the investigations opened against them and the “psychological harm” he said was caused by the military legal process.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also released a statement praising the cancellation of the indictment. … Full article

Local sources and eyewitnesses reported that a group of settlers ambushed the woman while she was near the entrance of Aqraba and sprayed pepper spray directly into her face.
The woman suffered from severe suffocation and eye irritation before she received first aid at the scene.

Israeli occupation forces detained at least 17 Palestinian women during large-scale dawn raids across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, in what the Prisoners’ Media Office said is a dangerous escalation in the policy of collective punishment against prisoners’ families.
The bulk of the women were detained in Qalqilya alone, with forces entering the city from its eastern entrance and fanning out across the Kafr Saba and Al-Naqqar neighborhoods, raiding and ransacking homes.
Forces also stormed the town of Kafr Thulth, south of Qalqilya, and the village of Sanniriya before withdrawing after raids lasting approximately two hours. Another woman was detained in Salfit governorate. … Full article

The landscape of American free speech has entered treacherous new terrain. On February 27, 2026, an Israeli historian and journalist named Yair Kleinbaum published an editorial in JFeed demanding that the United States government arrest and detain Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Cenk Uygur, Jackson Hinkle, and other prominent commentators who have opposed American military action against Iran. The model he proposed for their imprisonment was the World War II internment of Japanese Americans.
“It’s time to put Fuentes, Owens, Carlson and Uygur inside a WWII-Style internment camp,” Kleinbaum wrote. “We have reached a point where there is no choice but to take decisive action and arrest them.”
Kleinbaum’s argument rested on the claim that these commentators had crossed from protected speech into criminal incitement by allegedly encouraging soldiers to defy orders and discouraging enlistment. He explicitly compared them to Japanese Americans during World War II, though he distinguished the cases by asserting that unlike those who were “unjustly profiled,” the targeted influencers had “proven that their loyalty is with anti-American forces.” … continue

A six-hour overnight drone attack on Krasnodar hit residential buildings across multiple neighborhoods
RT | March 18, 2026
One person was killed and several residential buildings were hit overnight in a Ukrainian drone attack on the southern Russian city of Krasnodar, according to regional authorities. Debris from drones intercepted by air defenses fell across several districts of the city.
Krasnodar Region Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on Wednesday that the strike formed part of a broader overnight wave of drone attacks targeting southern Russia.
“One person died as a result of a terrorist drone attack in Krasnodar,” Kondratyev wrote on social media.
The most serious damage occurred when a drone struck a high-rise residential building in the western part of the city, sparking a fire in an apartment. Emergency crews evacuated residents from the building while firefighters extinguished the blaze, regional officials said. … Full article

Hebrew news outlet reported on Wednesday that Russia has voiced strong condemnation against Israel for attacking the Bushehr airport and other areas in the southern Iranian province, which are close to the nuclear power plant.
The attacks endanger the lives of Russian personnel working in and around the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, Russia said.
