On Sunday, Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian man and injured another after opening fire on their vehicle near Haddad Resort, east of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the General Authority for Civil Affairs informed it that Israeli soldiers had killed Sami Hasan Hussein Zawaida, 32.
Local sources said the soldiers fired live rounds at a vehicle carrying two Palestinians, killing Zawaida and wounding the other man. The wounded man’s condition remained unknown at the time of publication.
The Israeli army alleged that the vehicle had attempted to ram soldiers before they fired several live rounds at it. The claim could not be independently verified. … Full article

The Iranian Army says it has destroyed an advanced Orbiter reconnaissance drone over the Strait of Hormuz, the latest in a series of American unmanned aircraft destroyed by the country’s armed forces during the war.
In a statement on Sunday, the Army said the drone was targeted and destroyed by indigenous air defense systems stationed in the southeastern part of the country.
It added that the systems operated as part of Iran’s integrated air defense network when they intercepted the advanced Orbiter reconnaissance drone over the strategic waterway. … Full article

… The most rigorous test of victory in any war is whether the aggressor achieves its stated objectives. By this metric, the United States has failed decisively and comprehensively.
Before the war was launched in late February, American officials articulated goals such as toppling the Islamic Republic, ending Iran’s uranium enrichment program, eliminating its ballistic missile capability, and dismantling its regional network.
Seven months later, none of these objectives have been achieved. The Iranian government remains in power, its enrichment program continues, its missile arsenal has grown rather than shrunk, and its regional allies – including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Ansarullah in Yemen – remain active and strong. The Yemeni military forces have recently expanded their control along the Red Sea coast, capturing strategic ports and islands.
What the United States has lost, by contrast, is substantial. It has completely lost control of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf at large. It has seen its expensive military stockpiles depleted to levels that will take years and decades to replenish. It has alienated key allies and demonstrated to the world that its military power is a myth.
The strategic implications extend beyond the immediate region. The US failure to achieve its military or strategic objectives in Iran will be studied by policymakers and strategists for years to come. … Full article

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday that Saudi Arabia may have some military needs to address continued attacks carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces, adding that Türkiye will consider and assess those needs under the trilateral defense agreement signed with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
Speaking to Turkish broadcaster NTV, Fidan said joint defense frameworks and mechanisms were being developed to address security developments and emerging threats in the region.
He also revealed that proposals and initiatives aimed at ending the fighting had been conveyed to all relevant parties in the region.

The Rupture That Was 50 Years in the Making

On September 10, 2026, Algeria announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE ambassador was given 48 hours to leave the country, and as of September 11, Algerian airspace was closed to all Emirati aircraft. The official reason was “provocative and hostile actions” by Abu Dhabi. Behind that phrasing, however, lies a conflict that had been smoldering for decades—and in which one of the key roles was played by… France. … continue

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz described his Christian Democratic Union’s performance in Sunday’s state election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as a “disaster,” after preliminary results showed a historic low for the party.
The CDU received just 5.5% of the vote, according to an ARD exit poll, its worst results in a state election since the founding of the federal republic in 1949. This leaves the party just above the 5% threshold required to enter the regional parliament.
The Alternative for Germany party (AfD) is leading with 37%, ahead of the ruling Social Democrats (SPD) at 35.5%, according to the poll.

Merz’s party is faring better in Berlin but is still trailing the Left, which leads with 24.5%. The CDU is second with 20%, followed by the AfD at 16%, according to exit polls.
The preliminary results come two weeks after the AfD took first in Saxony-Anhalt, and amid mounting pressure on Merz over the CDU’s declining support. The chancellor called a meeting of the party leadership for Sunday evening to discuss the election results.

Experts have raised serious doubt about the legality of the US military strikes killing untried suspects
Press TV – September 20, 2026
The US military has announced that a strike on a boat allegedly smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea killed four people.
The Pentagon said the boat suspected of being used to move narcotics from Latin America to the United States via the Caribbean Sea was targeted on Saturday as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing so-called campaign against international drug traffickers.
US Southern Command claimed it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes. On August 25, the Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere also attacked a go-fast vessel in the Caribbean, killing four people the command claimed were “narco-terrorists.”
At least 231 people have been killed in 69 strikes since the Trump administration began its boat attacks in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea about a year ago.
The US Southern Command did not provide any evidence to prove that the people killed in the attack were actually drug smugglers or that the boat targeted in the strike had any drugs aboard. A video posted by the military on X showed an image of what appeared to be a moving boat followed by a sudden flash. … Full article

Decades of forgotten research show natural light is an essential nutrient our bodies are being starved of
A Midwestern Doctor | The Forgotten Side of Medicine | September 17, 2026
Story at a Glance:
• Sunlight is one of the most important things for our health (e.g., it halves our risk of dying or getting cancer), yet all we ever hear is how important it is to avoid it.
• While the importance of vitamin D is generally recognized, many of the other critical functions of light within plants, animals and human beings remain almost completely unknown, and hence are the focus of this article.
• One of the defining characteristics of modern life is continual exposure to unnatural light (particularly from energy efficient light bulbs). This is viewed as relatively benign, but decades of forgotten research (and a growing body of new research) show it is a root cause of a myriad of inexplicable physical and behavioral illnesses.
• Cells communicate with each other through faint emissions of ultraviolet light. This was once one of the most active fields in biology (yielding over 700 papers, 11 Nobel nominations, and a blood test which detected cancer with over 95% accuracy) before it was abandoned for political reasons and forgotten.
• The eyes and the blood conduct light throughout the body. When this process is disrupted (e.g., by glasses with lenses that filter out critical parts of the spectrum), a variety of significant illnesses can develop.
• In 2022, the federal government effectively banned the incandescent bulb because most of its output is “wasted” infrared rather than visible light, despite our bodies using that infrared for a myriad of essential processes. Senate Energy Chairman Mike Lee introduced a bill to bring those bulbs back, which yesterday received its first hearing, and with public support, can free us from the unhealthy bulbs that have been forced upon us.

Who controls the AI shaping what you read, write, and believe?
By Sayer Ji | September 12, 2026
For a decade, they suppressed what you posted. Now they’re building the layer that writes what you say — and Congress is about to hand it to three companies.
You already know about the censorship.
You know about the accounts that disappeared. The videos that got taken down. The doctors who lost their platforms in 2021. The “shadowban” that everyone used to argue was a conspiracy theory until the Twitter Files showed the internal Slack messages. You know the shape of it because you lived through it, or you watched someone you trust live through it. You know it happened.
Six of the Americans it happened to sued the federal government over it. Their case, Finn v. Global Engagement Center, was dismissed in July 2026 on pleading defects — a procedural ruling — without ever reaching the merits. The judge did not decide whether the White House pressured Facebook to reduce their reach by sixty percent. The judge decided the complaint had too many defendants. So the evidence sits in the public docket, unruled on, and those plaintiffs built Restore the First to make sure it did not sit there in silence.
This statement is not about that fight. It is about the one that is already replacing it, in a way that will make the last fight look almost quaint.
The censorship that is coming will not look like censorship. It will not remove your post. It will not shadowban your account. It will not throw up a warning label on your video. It will do something quieter and much harder to catch: it will compose what you say, before you say it. And on September 3, 2026, Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar introduced a bill to license which companies are allowed to build the layer that will do it.
Open your browser. Type any question into the search bar. Google no longer returns ten blue links.

That layer is called AI mediation. It sits between you and every act of speech, every act of listening, every question you ask, every answer you receive. … continue

All indicators of support for “Israel” have turned negative in the United States, with declining sentiment extending beyond Democratic voters to the wider US electorate, CNN reported.
The network’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, cited polling from Ipsos, Fox News, Marquette Law School and the Pew Research Center, saying the figures point to a 67-point shift in sentiment toward “Israel” compared with the first Trump administration, when it enjoyed strongly positive net favorability.
Enten said the issue has increasingly become a broader American concern rather than one confined to the political left, as public attitudes toward “Israel” have continued to deteriorate.
More recent polling released in September provides further indications of this shift.
Polls show declining favorability toward ‘Israel’
A Marquette Law School national poll conducted from September 2-9 found that 29% of US adults held a favorable view of “Israel,” while 59% viewed it unfavorably, resulting in a net favorability rating of -30. … Full article

Turkish police announced the completion of an operation to dismantle an Israel-linked fraud network that stole hundreds of millions of dollars from victims on three continents over two years, Middle East Eye reported on 18 September.
The network defrauded victims in Europe, East Asia, and Africa of some $266 million by selling them fraudulent investments. […]
Turkish officials said an Israeli national who also holds a Portuguese passport operated the fraud network.
Potential call center employees were given polygraph tests to ensure they had no links to law enforcement or security agencies.
“Speaking Hebrew inside the office is prohibited,” the Turkish official said.
Employees were forbidden from attempting to scam Israelis. “One of the strictest rules reportedly enforced within the network is that Israeli citizens must not be targeted.”
Multiple fraudulent companies based in Israel have run similar scams, according to past investigations by Reuters and the OCCRP, a Netherlands-based investigative journalism group.
In one case, OCCRP identified a network of call centers based in Israel, Eastern Europe, and Georgia whose employees scammed at least 32,000 people out of at least $275 million. … Full article

The Israeli army has closed the last access route leading to Khirbet Ras al-Ahmar, a small Palestinian village southeast of Tubas in the northern West Bank, completely isolating 47 Palestinian families for a fifth consecutive day, Anadolu reports.
The closure came after “more than two months of shutting all dirt roads leading to the village,” Thaer Basharat, a resident, told Anadolu on Saturday.
Basharat said the siege had been tightening for about three years but reached a critical stage five days ago, when the Israeli army dug a trench across the last remaining route to the village, which was only passable by livestock and agricultural tractors.
He said the village has been turned into a “cage” surrounded by trenches, walls and military zones.
“The 47 families in the village rely on livestock farming and are now unable to bring in their basic necessities or sheep feed,” he added.
Basharat said about 360,000 dunams (360,000,000 square meters) had served as grazing land for farmers in the village, but 90% of it had either been seized or placed off-limits, leaving farmers facing difficult conditions.
“The Israeli pressure aims to forcibly displace the entire community from the village,” he said.

At least four Palestinians, including a child and the son of Gaza’s Health Ministry director general, have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, with several others reported wounded, according to Palestinian medical and civil defense sources.
Three people were killed in attacks on Saturday, while another Palestinian died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike the previous day, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
In Gaza City, an Israeli drone targeted a civilian vehicle in the Sheikh Radwan market area, killing one person and injuring at least four others, including two children, according to Gaza’s civil defense agency.
The strike set the vehicle on fire, and rescue teams struggled to put out the blaze. One body was taken to al-Shifa Medical Complex and was reportedly burned beyond recognition.
An Al Jazeera correspondent, reporting from Gaza City, said the vehicle was hit by at least one drone missile and remained engulfed in flames for about half an hour before emergency and civil defense crews arrived.
Earlier on Saturday, another drone strike in northern Gaza killed Basir al-Bursh, the eldest son of Munir al-Bursh, director general of Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Basir was targeted in the az-Zahra neighborhood west of the Jabalia refugee camp, where another person was also seriously wounded, according to the report. He was taken to hospital in critical condition after suffering major blood loss but was pronounced dead upon arrival. … Full article

Iran’s top security official says the country remains committed to its policy of non-weaponization of its nuclear program, adding that withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is possible in response to military and political threats from the United States and the Israeli regime.
Major General Mohsen Rezaei, who serves as the Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), said in remarks published on Saturday that Iran is still committed to a religious decree by the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, that forbids nuclear weapons.
“We remain committed to the fatwa of the martyred Leader of the Revolution and have not changed our nuclear doctrine, but we do not know what will happen in the future,” Rezaei said in an interview with the Qatari-based news channel Al Jazeera.
The SNSC chief said, however, that what the US and the Israeli regime have done to Iran in the past months, including a military aggression earlier this year and the following campaign of economic and political pressures, allows the country to withdraw from the NPT.
“We have not yet made a decision in this regard, but this issue depends on US behavior,” said Rezaei. … Full article

Yemeni armed forces have claimed responsibility for two separate missile and drone attacks on strategic installations deep inside Saudi Arabia in retaliation for Riyadh’s smear campaign and ongoing acts of aggression against the Arab Peninsula nation.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for Yemen’s military, announced in a statement on Saturday that Yemeni army units had targeted sensitive sites in the Saudi capital Riyadh, as well as Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Yanbu port city on the Red Sea coast.
He added that both operations, involving swarms of homegrown ballistic and cruise missiles as well as combat drones, were successful and caused massive blazes at the impact sites.
Saree noted that the attacks were in reprisal for Saudi Arabia’s unsubstantiated allegations of an attempted drone attack near the city of Mecca, and an unrelenting onslaught against the Yemeni nation.
The drone and missile operations were also in response to the Saudi enemy’s vile attempts to target the Yemeni capital Sana’a through tactics once employed by the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group. The tactics included indiscriminate shootings and bombings targeting civilians, he added. … continue

Flames and a large plume of black smoke have been reported near King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, as the airport faced major flight delays and cancellations.
Images posted on social media platforms showed smoke rising from a fuel storage depot at the airport in the aftermath of the strikes. The cause and extent of the fire near the airport were not immediately known.
It comes hours after the General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense issued its first air raid alert since the resumption of military aggression on neighboring Yemen in July.
Saudi authorities have not yet issued a statement on the incident.
Early Saturday, Saudi Civil Defense issued emergency warnings via the National Early Warning Platform to residents across Riyadh and the adjacent governorate of al-Kharj, alerting them to an immediate potential hazard.
The alert was directly broadcast to mobile devices using cellular network protocols, as multiple powerful explosions were heard in the Saudi capital.
Saudi Civil Defense officials instructed residents to remain calm, stay indoors, and shelter in interior rooms away from windows, balconies, or glass surfaces.
Members of the public were also urged to avoid open spaces, gatherings in public areas, or filming emergency operations.
According to Saudi media outlets, similar sirens also sounded in Yanbu port city on the Red Sea coast of western Saudi Arabia, al-Ula city northwest of the holy city of Medina, the cities of Khamis Mushait, Jizan and Abha in southwestern Saudi Arabia, as well as Jeddah and Taif. … Full article

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says military intervention cannot create security and coercion cannot bring peace, calling for a fundamental shift from militarism and intervention toward sustainable development, respect for national sovereignty, and lasting peace.
Addressing the “Calling for a Global U-Turn: Recentering Development, Reclaiming Humanity, Restoring Justice in a Crazi(er) World” conference at the 2026 Global Town Hall hosted by the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia on Saturday, Araghchi said decades of foreign intervention, military pressure, and endless wars in West Asia have demonstrated that military intervention does not create security and coercion does not lead to peace.
The tragedy of Gaza and the ongoing crimes committed by the Israeli regime are among the clearest and most horrific manifestations of this failed pattern, Araghchi said.
He warned that a dangerous pattern has emerged in which military force is no longer being used as a last resort, but as a permanent mechanism for reshaping the political and security landscape of the region.
Under such circumstances, aggression becomes normalized, escalation becomes institutionalized, and destruction turns from a consequence of war into a tool for advancing political objectives, he said. … continue
Press TV – September 19, 2026
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has hit back at recent claims by his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot accusing Iran of human rights violations, criticizing Paris for its silence over the killing of Iranian schoolchildren by the United States.
Addressing Barrot in a post on X, Araghchi said, “1.5mn Algerians were slaughtered by France in their War of Independence. Less than 1/10 of them have been recorded by Paris, which refuses any apology for its colonial crimes.”
“Stop your crocodile tears @jnbarrot. Your silence when the US massacred our schoolkids said it all,” he added.
Arahgchi was referring to the February 28 air raid on the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab in southern Iran, which was carried out on the first day of the US-Israeli military aggression against the Islamic Republic and is considered the war’s deadliest attack on civilians.
The assault killed 168 people, including 120 students and 26 teachers. More than 110 people were wounded.
Investigations indicate three precision-strike Tomahawk missiles hit the school. The school was struck three separate times.
On Thursday, a United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission concluded there are “reasonable grounds” to believe the US committed war crimes during its war of aggression on Iran, citing indiscriminate attacks that resulted in massive civilian casualties, including the devastating strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh School.
“This treaty is mostly for show, but in legal terms it’s much ado about nothing” because “the US already had free access to Greenland and the main responsibility for the defense of Greenland,” Swedish military and geopolitics analyst Mikael Valtersson told Sputnik, commenting on the new US-Denmark Greenland deal.
While the agreement grants the US permanent military access, basing and overflight rights, Valtersson pointed out that Washington already had these rights, and that it was the US itself that “voluntarily and drastically reduced its own military resources on Greenland” after the end of the Cold War.
Valtersson suspects the deal is “mainly a PR stunt for the US government ahead of the upcoming midterm elections in November.”
However, given fears in Denmark and Europe in general that the current administration’s “erratic foreign policy” might trigger an actual military conflict over Greenland, which “would have created a huge crisis in Transatlantic relations,” the agreement is likely to be a relief to the EU, and will let Copenhagen “stop worrying about a potential military confrontation with the US” over the dependency.

As of Sept. 16, there had been zero Atlantic hurricanes. Not since 1941 have we gone so far into hurricane season without one forming. Global warming, it seems, has failed to do its job as demanded by the climate zealots and grifters.
There has been at least one hurricane every year since the historical record began in 1851. There’s time for one or more storms to form this year, as there are still about two months left in the Atlantic hurricane season, which ends Nov. 30. It seems more likely, though, that we are living in the first year that there will be no hurricanes on record since researchers began documenting them in 1851. The Atlantic Accumulated Cyclone Energy index is running “about 85% below the 1991–2020 climatological normal for this point in the season,” says Pierre Gosselin of the No Tricks Zone, a site that offers a healthy dose of climate skepticism.
All the best people have been telling us for decades that man’s use of fossil fuels was going to increase hurricane frequency and intensity, much like the London-based Independent assured us in 2000 that in Great Britain “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past.”
Of course this was nonsense. It still snows in Britain. Yet this didn’t stop a Bloomberg opinion crank from declaring in 2024 that snow was “becoming a thing of the past” because humans have been “warping the climate by burning fossil fuels.” We wonder how he’s handling the news in 2026 that the recent five-year mass gain in Antarctic ice sheet “was driven by a massive increase in snow and ice accumulation.” … Full article

In a recent USA Today story “Hottest summer ever? US breaks longstanding record,” the writer claims that the United States just experienced its hottest summer ever based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) latest temperature analysis. That claim is misleading, based on an incomplete causal analysis. The best available evidence suggests that much of the reported “record” depends on adjusted temperature datasets and weather stations increasingly affected by urban development, while the nation’s highest-quality climate network tells a very different story.
USA Today accurately repeated NOAA’s announcement that the average temperature for June through August 2026 was the warmest in the 132-year record for the contiguous United States, edging out 1936 and 2021 by just 0.4°F.
That sounds straightforward enough, but unfortunately, it isn’t. … continue
Prominent Israel flunkies too dumb and lazy to produce their own genocide apologia
By Mouin Rabbani | September 19, 2026
When journalists are exposed for fabricating or plagiarizing their reports, responsible media typically remove the offending columns from their websites. They will often additionally attach a health warning to the rest of that journalist’s published work.
Numerous journalists have in fact, and quite properly, been fired for fabricating and/or plagiarizing their stories.
In recent weeks the historian Matthew Ghobrial Cockerill has published a series of remarkable exposés on Twitter demonstrating that a number of the most prolific, aggressive, shameless and invariably vulgar Israel flunkies and genocide apologists have consistently resorted to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to produce their third-rate propaganda.
In other words these fraudsters, including John Spencer, Andrew Fox and various fellow travelers, are so lazy and intellectually limited they don’t even possess the capacity to formulate and articulate their own lies. In some cases they have additionally and explicitly denied that that they use AI.
As Cockerill has thoroughly and convincingly demonstrated and documented, these clowns are not using AI to improve or edit or polish their original work, but rather to produce it from scratch. … continue
Britain’s child safety pitch arrives bundled with age checks, Ofcom fees, and a preferred class of news providers.
By Cindy Harper | Reclaim The Net | September 18, 2026
British officials were reportedly summoned to the US embassy in London earlier this week to be told that the US government was unhappy with three parts of the UK’s online censorship law, the Online Safety Act. […]
The three parts of the law that the US has taken issue with are: the fees that regulator Ofcom charges to fund its work, the ban on under-16s using social media, and the “trusted media” prominence plans. […]
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy’s comments around the “trusted media” plan were that it is “vital that we make sure that people have better access to trusted and accurate news and that our regulated public service media is seen and heard in the fierce battle against mis and disinformation.”
But this “fierce battle” is censorship, and the US reaction to it, as well as to the other two contentious points, is clearly not motivated by a desire to protect speech, but rather, to protect US companies. … Full article

Investigate Europe and Reporters United uncovered a coordinated campaign against European universities seeking to cut ties with Israeli institutions. A letter sent to Brussels shows how future access to European research funding became a source of pressure.
In May 2024, Ghent University decided to end institutional collaborations with Israeli universities and research bodies that its human rights review identified as closely connected to the Israeli government or security services.
Both participated in WHEATWATCHER, an EU-funded agricultural research project coordinated by Ghent. When the Belgian university approached European officials about excluding them or leaving the consortium, the two Israeli institutions instructed Kesher, a Brussels law firm, to intervene on their behalf.
The response came in a 14-page letter sent to the European Research Executive Agency (REA) on November 12, 2024, in which Kesher accused Ghent of discrimination, restricting academic freedom, misusing ethical reviews and violating European financial and competition rules.
The firm asked the European Commission to remind Ghent of a rule allowing organisations responsible for serious failures in publicly funded commitments to be excluded from future EU award procedures. It also argued that the university should be prevented from applying the same policy when forming new research consortiums.
Kesher said its clients would pursue every available remedy “systematically.” If Ghent continued, they would file multiple complaints and begin whatever proceedings they considered necessary. The letter showed how the consequences could extend from the immediate costs of leaving one agricultural project to litigation and possible exclusion from future EU funding. … Full article

On Friday, Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian in central Gaza and continued to violate the “ceasefire” agreement for the 344th consecutive day, carrying out attacks across the devastated coastal enclave.
Medical sources announced that Karam Mus’ad al-Masar’a died on Friday morning from wounds sustained when Israeli soldiers shot him on Julis Street in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
A medical source said two Palestinians were injured when Israeli soldiers opened fire near Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, raising the number of Palestinians injured in the area since Thursday afternoon to five.
Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire northeast and south of Khan Younis, while Israeli helicopter gunships fired east and south of the city. Israeli naval vessels also opened fire offshore along the Khan Younis coast.
Israeli helicopter gunships opened fire toward Rafah in southern Gaza, while artillery shelled an area northeast of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
East of Gaza City, Israeli helicopters opened fire, while occupation forces detonated several Palestinian homes in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood. … Full article
The Palestinian Information Center – September 18, 2026
GAZA – The Palestine Center for Prisoners Studies said Israeli authorities continue to hold dozens of prisoners from the Gaza Strip who were detained before October 7, 2023, despite some having completed their sentences years ago.
According to the Center, more than 43 Gaza prisoners remain in Israeli prisons after completing their sentences, representing about 55% of the 80 Gaza prisoners who were already detained before the war. […]
According to the Center, Gaza prisoners, both those detained before the war and those arrested since October 2023, are being held under harsh conditions and denied basic rights while facing various forms of physical and psychological abuse.
The Center reported that prisoners have been restrained from behind with plastic ties for prolonged periods, forced to lie on the ground for hours, attacked with police dogs and subjected to other forms of physical abuse. It also said that Israeli forces have directly used tear gas and rubber-coated bullets against detainees.
The Center further accused Israeli authorities of deliberately starving Gaza prisoners by providing inadequate quantities of poor-quality food that, in some cases, was unfit for consumption. It said some prisoners have suffered severe physical deterioration and lost as much as half their body weight. … Full article
GCC internet will go dark if Trump renews hostilities
By Kurt Nimmo | Another Day in the Empire | September 18, 2026
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait—are heavily invested in AI as part of a strategy to diversify away from petroleum. National AI strategies across GCC countries emphasize investment in research and development, encourage public-private partnerships, and create regulatory frameworks that support innovation. The GCC AI market size increased from USD $6.22 billion in 2025 to USD $7.60 billion in 2026. It is projected to reach USD $23.03 billion by 2034.
In April, Iran’s Tasnim news agency mentioned the submarine cables, landing stations, and data hubs in the Gulf as strategic pressure points in the conflict initiated by the United States and Israel. According to the market research company IMARC Group, subsea internet data cables in the Gulf sit at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and damage to these networks risks connectivity losses in one of the world’s most important internet traffic zones.
The economic importance of these cable systems extends far outside internet browsing or streaming services, notes Techstory, “because financial markets, payment systems and cloud computing firms depend on uninterrupted connections between continents every second of the day. Data centers in the Gulf and Asia also depend on those same cables to connect cloud systems serving businesses around the world.” Analysts estimate that networks linked to the GCC support roughly $10 trillion worth of financial transactions daily.
Iran claims the cables are within its territorial waters and fall under its jurisdiction. Tasnim and Fars suggest Iran may charge tech companies to use the internet cables, while Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a Brigadier General and the spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said that “companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon” will be required to “comply with Iranian law” and pay licensing fees for cable passage, with repair and maintenance rights given exclusively to Iranian firms. … continue
Al Mayadeen – September 17, 2026
JPMorgan has abandoned its baseline forecast for how and when the Iran war could end, saying economic conditions once expected to pressure US President Donald Trump toward de-escalation have failed to produce a clear exit strategy.
“For the first time since the start of the Iran conflict, we don’t have a baseline view,” Natasha Kaneva, head of global commodities strategy at JPMorgan, said in a Thursday note, per CNBC. “We simply don’t know how to model the endgame.”
Kaneva said JPMorgan initially expected several economic red lines to push Trump toward an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in June. Those thresholds included oil prices above $100 a barrel, gasoline approaching $5 per gallon, and the 10-year US Treasury yield exceeding 5%.
“Six months later, many of those lines have been crossed, yet the exit strategy is less clear, not more,” she said. … Full article

Bangladesh’s export factories are cutting production and Pakistan has rolled out fuel subsidies as disruptions to Gulf energy supplies drive shortages and higher costs across South Asia.
The pressure follows disruptions to oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz after the US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed Houthis has also threatened trade through the Red Sea, another key route for Gulf energy supplies.
Bangladesh has been particularly exposed. The country relies heavily on imported LNG for electricity, and disruptions to supplies from Qatar have forced Dhaka to seek more expensive cargoes on the spot market. The gas and power shortages have triggered blackouts and factory shutdowns.
Asian spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) have climbed close to $30 per million British thermal units from around $10 before the conflict.
The pressure is now hitting Bangladesh’s garment industry, its biggest export sector. A survey by the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association found that 55% of factories have seen buyers cancel or reduce orders because of gas and power shortages since late August, while 78% partially halted production.
Production delays are also raising costs. One garment producer spent $50,000 to air-freight jackets to a French buyer after delays, Reuters reported. Factories have turned to diesel to keep operations running, and industrial growth and production are slowing, Power Minister Iqbal Hasan Mahmud said this week. … Full article

Italy will deploy naval forces to help ensure the safe passage of Italian vessels through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said on Thursday, amid heightened security concerns linked to renewed fighting in Yemen.
Speaking at a maritime forum, Crosetto said escalating clashes along Yemen’s western coast were disrupting navigation through Bab al-Mandab, a strategically important waterway connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.
The defence minister said the renewed security concerns in Bab al-Mandab were adding to disruptions affecting the Strait of Hormuz and increasing the economic impact of wider regional tensions.
Crosetto said that, in coordination with Italy’s Chief of the Defence Staff, he had decided to mobilize the Italian Navy and take measures aimed at protecting Italian vessels transiting the strait. … Full article

An Italian aircraft was hit during attacks on an air base in Saudi Arabia, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said Friday, Anadolu reports.
Crosetto said Saudi Arabia’s Ta’if air base, where Italian personnel are present as part of the anti-ISIS (Daesh) Operation Inherent Resolve, “was the target of several attacks,” according to Italy’s ANSA news agency.
“During the attack, an Italian F-2000 aircraft was hit. It was inside the base, in a remote area. … Full article

Israel is expected to seek “compensation” from the US in the form of weapons systems that Washington has so far declined to sell to Tel Aviv, in response to US plans to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia in a $25 billion deal, Walla reported on 18 September.
A source familiar with the matter told the Hebrew news outlet that the Israeli military would prefer that no other country in West Asia receive the F-35 to preserve Israel’s qualitative military edge (QME) in the region.
The deal marks the first time an Arab state gains access to the F-35, the US military’s most advanced warplane. … continue
Al Mayadeen – September 17, 2026
Saudi warplanes carried out 37 airstrikes across Yemen within 24 hours, killing and wounding several civilians, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced.
According to Saree, Saudi F-15 fighter jets took off from the Khamis Mushait Air Base before striking several locations in the governorates of Taiz and Hajjah.
Sanaa-based Saba News Agency reported that two of the strikes hit the al-Barh Bridge in the Maqbana district, west of Taiz Governorate.
Two other airstrikes targeted the city of Abs in Hajjah, damaging four vehicles.
Saudi strikes target telecommunications infrastructure
The Saudi attacks also hit three telecommunications towers across Taiz Governorate. The targeted facilities were located in the al-Dhikra and al-Hawban areas of al-Taiziyah district and the al-Rahida area of Khadir district. … Full article
Press TV – September 18, 2026
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has called for temporary ceasefire and dialogue with Yemen’s Ansaraullah resistance movement, amid crippling Yemeni blockade and painful strikes on the kingdom, a report says.
Lebanon’s al-Akhbar news website, citing informed sources, reported that Riyadh has asked Oman to convey to Ansarullah its proposal for a two-week ceasefire and direct talks with the movement’s leadership with the aim of “addressing humanitarian demands” and ultimately “reaching a comprehensive agreement by the end of the truce.”
According to the report, the kingdom expressed its willingness to lift the siege on Yemen and allow the entry of aid into the country.
However, the report said, Ansarullah seeks “a final and comprehensive solution to the conflict, on the basis that there is a Yemeni-Saudi battle that has nothing to do with internal Yemeni affairs.”
The sources stressed that the resistance movement’s demands include an end to the blockade in all its forms: aerial, ground and naval, as well as Saudi Arabia’s military, security and political withdrawal from Yemen, and Saudi compensation for damage caused by the kingdom’s strikes. … continue

Syria has rejected a formal Saudi request to organize and deploy Syrian fighters to Yemen, according to Syrian sources speaking with Turkiye Today.
Riyadh reportedly spent months seeking military personnel to meet its needs in Yemen, but Damascus declined the request, citing a focus on reorganizing its own military.
“This issue has been exhausted and is over. The Saudi request was made several months ago. Syria politely turned it down, saying it was focused on its own military organization process and did not intend to enter a conflict as a third party,” one of the sources said. … continue

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has declared that his country will not deploy troops or military assets to join the US-led military adventurism against Iran, defying calls from Washington to support the illegal war.
“There won’t be deployment that would involve or enter war. I can tell you that very clearly,” Lee said during a news conference on Friday. “We won’t deploy military assets in any form to that end.”
He also emphasized that Seoul has maintained the principle of not becoming directly involved in combat and will continue to do so. … continue

Vladimir Zelensky is “scum” and a “suicide method chosen by the Ukrainian nation,” according to his former press secretary, Yulia Mendel, who was just blocked from speaking at the European Parliament.
Mendel worked for Zelensky during the early years of his tenure and resigned in 2021, citing personal reasons. In one of her latest critical interviews, she said her conscience compelled her to go public with the accusations she has made against her former boss in recent months.
“I ask God every day for forgiveness because I helped this scum to come to power and stay there,” she told Ukrainian blogger Lilia Bagirova on Thursday. “If I remained silent I would not have forgiven myself.”
Mendel also said that after watching Zelensky pursue policies she considers disastrous amid Ukraine’s conflict with Russia – including forced mobilization, while corruption continued to plague the country – she no longer regarded him as a human being. … Full article

Russia has demanded that Japan remove US mid-range Typhon missile systems from its territory, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said, describing the deployment as unacceptable and a threat to national security and regional stability.
In a statement published by the Foreign Ministry on Friday, Zakharova said Moscow sent Tokyo a formal protest note on September 3 after the US deployed the launchers to the southwestern island of Kyushu, 1,300 km from the city of Vladivostok.
“The Japanese side was told to stop this practice and remove the above-mentioned systems from its territory,” she said, adding that Moscow opposes these deployments regardless of the duration.
The US Army brought Typhon systems to Japan’s Kanoya Air Base in Kagoshima Prefecture in June for the Valiant Shield exercise and kept them there for another drill being held this month. The launchers are slated to leave Kanoya in mid-October but are expected to be stored at US military facilities elsewhere in Japan. No live firing is planned during the deployment.
The Typhon is capable of launching SM-6 missiles, as well as Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles, which have a range of around 1,600 km. The US developed the Typhon after withdrawing from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which prohibited US and Soviet ground-launched and cruise missiles with ranges of 500 to 5,500 km.
Zakharova noted that China recently delivered a similar protest to Japan over its “remilitarization.” … Full article

Russia’s Foreign Ministry summoned UK Chargé d’Affaires in Moscow Danae Dholakia on Friday, lodging a formal protest over London’s growing supply of drones and other weapons to Kiev.
The ministry said in a statement that by continuing to arm Ukraine with long-range weapons, the UK is placing itself in the position of “accomplice to Kiev’s atrocities.” Dholakia was presented with a list of international obligations Russian officials say London is violating through its military backing of Ukraine.
Moscow said it reserves the right to take retaliatory measures under its right to self-defense, warning that the UK “bears full responsibility for any further unfavorable development of the situation.” The ministry said the UK side “has been required to abandon its escalatory course and bring its actions in line with its relevant international obligations.”
The ministry added that UK military facilities inside Ukraine used to carry out strikes on Russian territory “are a legitimate target for the Russian armed forces.” The ministry stressed that British actions in Ukraine “clearly aim at prolonging and escalating the armed conflict.” … continue
Sputnik – 18.09.2026
Russia’s overnight attack on the De Novo data center in Kiev “will significantly affect operations, particularly in the realm of intelligence data processing,” military expert Yan Gagin told Sputnik.
“Intelligence agencies relied on this center to process info gathered through their agent networks. It was utilized to facilitate strikes against our facilities, including deep within our rear areas,” with “every target logged into a specific system and database, processed and assigned a strike priority.”
This digital kill chain network “will now face certain operational difficulties,” Gagin believes.
“While they have redundancy measures involving other data centers, including in Europe, the fact that this specific facility has been partially disabled will have a serious impact on operations, particularly in the realms of data processing and potentially, target designation.”
Crucially, this includes targeting data received by Ukraine from its “NATO partners,” the observer emphasized. … continue

Europe is moving dangerously close to a direct clash between NATO and Russia, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has warned, accusing the West of seeking a “pretext” for a major conflict between the two sides.
Fico made the comment in a Facebook post on Thursday, which accompanied the remarks he delivered before traveling to Ukraine for a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky and several European leaders.
“I am deeply concerned that they are merely looking for a pretext for a major conflict between NATO and Russia,” he wrote.
Reflecting on the Ukraine conflict, Fico said that the hostilities had “gotten out of control,” while accusing European nations of engaging in increasingly bellicose rhetoric which he said risked dragging the continent into a broader war. “The situation has never been as serious and tense regarding the possibility of a pan-European war conflict as it is now,” he said. … continue
