The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) won’t join a potential US ground operation in Iran, Israel’s Channel 12 reports. Why is that?
… The only plausible scenario for IDF involvement is “very targeted commando operations” — the kind Israel has carried out before — on the ground in Iran, former Israeli Air Force pilot Guy Poran tells Sputnik :
- Small groups
- Specific area
- Limited operation
- Quick troop pullout from the combat zone
… as always, the US will defend Israel’s interests using its own military,” Israeli security expert Dr. Simon Tsipis notes. … Full article

During the first 24 hours of the Iran war, the US unveiled their new missile, the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), targeting a sports hall and a school in Iran’s Lamerd, the New York Times reports.
The strike resulted in 21 casualties, the outlet admits, with 100 people injured.
The PrSM is the US Army and Marine Corp’s newest surface-to-surface missile made by Lockheed Martin to replace the outdated ATACMs, with many of its specs still unknown.
Capable of hitting targets as far away as 400 miles, it’s designed to kill troops and destroy unarmored vehicles, the NYT notes.

Iran’s Red Crescent Society says around 600 educational centers have been targeted during the United States’ and the Israeli regime’s unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic since late last month.
Razieh Alishvandi, the body’s deputy for international affairs and humanitarian law, made the remarks on Sunday, warning that such assaults violated the international humanitarian law and constituted war crimes.
The targeted sites included schools, universities, and other educational and academic institutions, she noted, adding that the attacks had endangered the lives of schoolchildren, university students, researchers, and professors, while leading to the martyrdom of many of them. … continue

TEHRAN – Iran did not participate in a meeting in Islamabad to end the conflict with the United States, and there were no negotiations with Washington, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said on Monday.
“Pakistan’s meeting with the countries of the region is the framework that they have created. We did not take part in it. To date, there have been no direct negotiations with the United States since the previous round. What they are talking about is the messages that we have received from a number of intermediaries, including Pakistan, with the desire and request of the United States to hold talks,” Baqaei said in a statement. … Full article

… Despite Donald Trump’s claim that he — or someone in his administration — is talking with the Iranians is pure hokum. Pakistani diplomats have volunteered to pass messages back-and-forth between the US and Iran, but Iran’s demands are anathema to Trump and vice versa.
Iran is not going to surrender or agree to a ceasefire until its core demands are met: reparations, the removal of all sanctions and the elimination of US military bases in the Persian Gulf.
The murder of the 175 school girls, along with the assassinations of key Iranian officials, as a result of the US and Israeli war of aggression on the people of Iran will not be forgiven and swept under the rug.
Despite Trump’s insistence that Iran is eager to negotiate, he is lying. Iran continues to methodically attack US and Israeli military assets and has succeeded in destroying billions of dollars in advanced radars, refueling airplanes, drones and, in the most recent strike, an AWACS plane. The AWACS plane was being used to provide warning intelligence that was previously supplied by the now defunct radars the US had scattered among the Gulf Arab countries.
Trump’s claim that Iran is running out of missiles also is not true. As I am writing this, Iran has launched three waves of launches to the Negev in under an hour. […]
According to Haaretz, the success rate of Iranian missiles in Israel has reached 80%, and the missiles are not being intercepted. … Full article

The worsening situation on the internal front of the Israeli regime, particularly in the northern occupied territories, has driven up food and transportation prices, fueling settler discontent.
According to informed security sources, regime authorities have refused to permit the evacuation of settlers from northern areas, despite deteriorating security conditions amid Hezbollah’s unstoppable retaliatory strikes.
Rising costs of essential goods, including food and transportation, have intensified pressure on settlers, contributing to a growing wave of anti-regime protests.
Discussions across Israeli social media platforms reflect increasing skepticism toward official narratives regarding developments in the north.

Qatar University professor Mohammed Al-Mesfer has expressed surprise at the muted response of Arab states to the Israeli-American war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, criticizing the absence of a clear and unified position.
In remarks to Al Jazeera Mubasher on Saturday, Al-Mesfer noted that many Arab governments refrained from issuing firm statements denouncing the attacks, despite the fact that it was the Israeli regime with the United States that initiated the aggression.
He stressed that this reality should have been clearly reflected in official Arab positions.
The political science professor noted that the lack of condemnation from Arab states raises serious questions about the independence of their decision-making and reflects a broader hesitation to confront Israeli aggression in the region.
Al-Mesfer warned that such silence over Israeli actions could embolden further escalation, undermining regional stability at a time of heightened tensions.
He also emphasized that failing to adopt a principled stance – especially in the context of Iran – risks encouraging continued violations and deepening regional instability.
Calling for a shift in approach, Al-Mesfer urged Arab countries to adopt a more balanced and consistent position, particularly in response to violations of sovereignty and attacks on the country’s civilian infrastructure.
His remarks came as the Israeli-American war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran continues to take a heavy toll on civilian lives and civilian infrastructure. … Full article

The Iranian military denied on 30 March the recent attack, which hit a desalination plant in Kuwait, labeling the strike a US-Israeli false-flag operation aimed at “destabilizing and destroying the region.”
“The brutal aggression by the Zionist regime against the desalination facility in Kuwait, carried out in recent hours under the pretext of accusing the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sign of the vileness and depravity of the Zionist occupiers,” the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Iranian army said in a statement.
“We declare that US bases, personnel, and their interests in the region, as well as the military, security, and economic infrastructure of the Zionist regime in the occupied Palestinian territories, remain powerful targets for us,” it added.

Alternative for Germany (AfD) co-chair Tino Chrupalla spoke out in favor of withdrawing American troops from Germany. During a party congress in Saxony, he stressed that, if AfD comes to power, this should be the first step in implementing the party’s program, which calls for the removal of all allied forces from Germany and a withdrawal from NATO’s nuclear weapons sharing system.

The Israeli military released an altered photograph on Sunday claiming to show martyred Ali Sheaib, a prominent television presenter for Al Manar, in what it described as a Hezbollah uniform.
Sheaib was martyred alongside Al Mayadeen’s journalist Fatima Ftouni and cameraman Mohammad Ftouni, who were killed in a deliberate Israeli attack on their vehicle while they were performing their media duties.
“Israel” presented the photo as evidence to justify the strike amid mounting international criticism for the deliberate Israeli strike on a PRESS vehicle. In it, Sheaib is seen in an unidentifiable military uniform beside a tank.
Human rights advocates emphasized that expressing support for the Lebanese Resistance in Lebanon, a political party, does not make a journalist a lawful military target. Furthermore, Israeli officials admitted that the portion depicting him in uniform was digitally altered, nothing but an “illustration”. … Full article

Introduction
The dormant capabilities and vulnerabilities of the First Amendment face their greatest test in wartime. Recently, Tucker Carlson revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency intends to refer him to the Department of Justice to be charged for failing to register in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). In a number of his latest broadcasts, the pundit warned that free speech may soon become a casualty of the war with Iran. According to Carlson, the threatened criminal referral arises out of his contact with a number of Iranian nationals in the leadup to the present conflict. While the exact nature of his contact is unknown, the government may allege that he acted on the request of these foreign principals to advocate against the war. The action, in all likelihood, serves as a pretense for quashing his criticism and threatening other commentators to stay in line.
In close parallel, Laura Loomer, prominent Carlson detractor and close advisor to President Donald Trump, alleges that the pundit took money from a variety of Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In any case, Loomer has been pushing for his criminal investigation since at least February 1, a full month before the strikes. On March 14 she bragged, “If Tucker Qatarlson (sic) gets charged for violating FARA… I’m taking credit,” and “You have no idea how relentless I have been in speaking to GOP reps and even reporting Tucker to law enforcement and the DoJ.”
At long last, it appears her badgering of administration officials manifested into concrete action to silence speech amid the worsening war with Iran. While the criminal referral is a shot across Carlson’s bow regarding his anti-war speech, the government retains several pathways to materialize the threat. His legal footing hinges on three questions: 1) Is mere contact with citizens of another country with whom the United States is contemplating war enough to trigger mandatory registration under the FARA? 2) Did Carlson act on the request of a foreign principal to lobby for peace with Iran? or 3) If Loomer’s allegations are true, would taking money from foreign governments trigger mandatory registration? … continue

Four companies that collectively control how most Americans buy and sell things received warning letters this week from FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, threatening enforcement action if they deny customers access to financial services based on political or religious beliefs. The targets are Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe.
The letters didn’t name a single specific violation, and they didn’t need to. The track record is already public. PayPal has frozen accounts of several political commentators.
Stripe cut off payment processing for President Trump’s campaign website after January 6, 2021. Both companies have spent years making unilateral decisions about who deserves access to the financial system, hiding behind vague terms of service that give compliance teams almost unlimited discretion.
“Full participation in commerce and public life necessarily requires that law-abiding individuals can access, and freely participate in, our financial system,” Chairman Ferguson wrote.
“It is inconsistent with American values to deny law-abiding individuals the ability to run their legitimate businesses and feed their families because they attracted the ire of rogue American officials, overzealous activists, or, more worryingly, foreign governments seeking to control public discourse,” he continued. … continue

On Monday, Russia’s Transport Ministry confirmed that the Russian oil tanker Anatoli Kolodkin arrived at the port of Matanzas in Cuba, where it remains awaiting the unloading of the petroleum products it is carrying.
The vessel is transporting approximately 100,000 tons of oil described as humanitarian aid, in a context marked by a severe energy crisis affecting the Caribbean island.
The tanker was initially escorted by a Russian Navy warship through the English Channel. However, after entering the Atlantic, the vessel continued its journey on its own until arriving in Cuba.
The operation represents the first arrival of an oil tanker to the island in three months. The move comes after the United States pressured Venezuela and Mexico to reduce or halt energy supplies to Cuba. … continue

US-Iran talks may take place in Islamabad in the coming days, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said.
All parties have expressed confidence in Pakistan’s mediating role, he added, noting that China “fully supports” the initiative.
Earlier on Sunday, foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Egypt arrived in Pakistan to discuss potential ways to permanently resolve the current conflict in the Persian Gulf.
The ministers also discussed various proposals for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and liquefied natural gas trade.
The proposals include establishing a management consortium and charging fees, sources say.
Pakistan, which shares a border with Iran, has leveraged its strong ties with both Tehran and Washington to position itself as a key diplomatic channel in the conflict.

In today’s fractured geopolitical landscape, energy flows are no longer governed by markets alone. They are shaped—often decisively—by politics. Nowhere is this clearer than in the unfolding crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, where Indonesia finds itself on the wrong side of a strategic divide.
As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Iran has adopted a selective approach to maritime access through the strait, one of the world’s most vital energy chokepoints. Rather than a blanket closure, Tehran has opted for a calibrated policy: friendly nations may pass; others must wait.
The consequences for Indonesia are immediate and stark. While countries like Malaysia, Thailand, China, India and Russia have secured safe passage for their tankers, two Indonesian vessels remain stranded. This is not a logistical hiccup. It is a geopolitical signal.
Iran’s own officials have made the logic explicit. Access is granted based on diplomatic alignment and strategic trust. Nations perceived as cooperative—or at least non-hostile—are accommodated. Others are left navigating uncertainty.
Indonesia, it appears, has misread the moment. … continue

Pakistan has reached an agreement with Iran allowing 20 Pakistani-flagged vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz, offering partial relief as the country faces a deepening energy crisis linked to regional instability.
Pakistan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Muhammad Ishaq Dar, announced the development on Saturday, stating that two vessels would be permitted to cross the strategic waterway each day under the arrangement.
“I am pleased to share a great news that the Government of Iran has agreed to allow 20 more ships under the Pakistani flag to pass through the Strait of Hormuz; two ships will cross the Strait daily,” Dar said.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical maritime corridor for global energy transport, but access has been affected by escalating tensions involving Iran, the United States, and “Israel.” Iranian authorities have reiterated that the passage is restricted for countries they consider adversaries, while remaining accessible to nations that coordinate with Tehran.
During a phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirmed this position, stating that the Strait remains closed to “adversaries and those aiding them in the aggression against Iran.” He added that insecurity in the waterway is a direct result of “US-Israeli atrocities.” … Full article

The destruction of a US E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft in Saudi Arabia by an Iranian missile strike is a serious blow to the US military, former US Department of War analyst Karen Kwiatkowski tells Sputnik.
The US has a limited number of E-3 aircraft, which are based on aging Boeing 707 airframes, and the next-generation replacement for E-3 is not yet available
The loss of even one of E-3s puts a strain on the remaining aircraft as they are forced to operate longer. It demoralizes the crew, stresses systems, and “increases the consumption rate of surveillance capability and information management”.
Other E-3s now have to prioritize their own defense, which may reduce the radar, surveillance, and command effectiveness they supply.
With many of the important US long-range radars in the region being knocked out by Iranian strikes, the strain put on E-3 aircraft will only get worse, with further losses among them threatening to “narrow and pressure the information space for theater commanders and US and Israeli forces”.
Due to E-3’s distinctive and well-recognized function and appearance, Kwiatkowski adds, its destruction creates concern in the US because it doesn’t look like “winning,” and that claims of Iran losing its fighting capability were premature.
“One month into a ‘well planned 4 day operation’ is revealing many predictable operational and logistical crises, as well as a noticeable reduction in the tactical and operational choices for US and also Israeli theater commanders,” she says.

On March 28, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, condemned Israel’s attack on key Iranian infrastructure, including steel factories, a power plant, and civilian nuclear sites. He described the attacks as a serious escalation and vowed Iran would respond. “Iran will exact a heavy price for Israeli crimes,” he warned.
That heavy price arrived the following day. Israel’s Home Front Command said sirens were sounding in the Negev Desert, Dimona, Be’era, Arad, and Ashkelon. Ne’ot Hovav, formerly Ramat Hovav, an industrial zone (in occupied Al-Naqab) southeast of Be’er Sheva, and the site of Israel’s main hazardous waste disposal facility, was targeted. The Voice of Israel reported ten warheads falling in the Negev, while other sources indicate 27 targets were struck.
The zone is home to 19 chemical factories, including Makhteshim Agan, a pesticide plant, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (implicated in the opioid crisis), and Israel Chemicals, a bromine plant. It was reported that a disulfide factory was struck. Molybdenum disulfide is an anti-seize lubricant designed to meet the requirements of military specification. It is not known if the disulfide factory in the Negev produced this disulfide variant.
The Negev Phosphates Chemicals Company, part of the ICL Group, is also located in the Rotem Industrial Zone and situated near the Dimona reactor in Mishor Rotem. It is Israel’s sole recognized nuclear fuel cycle facility. Israel extracts uranium from Negev phosphate deposits. The Rotem complex is a critical node within a broader Israeli-US military-industrial network. In addition to phosphates, the facility produces fertilizers and high-purity phosphoric acid.
The phosphate extracted from the Rotem site is exported to several ICL facilities in the United States. ICL is the sole supplier of white phosphorus to the US military, a substance internationally banned for use in munitions. ICL white phosphorus is used by the occupation army in Gaza and Lebanon to burn people, homes, and agricultural lands.

US-Israeli airstrikes targeted Popular Mobilization (PMF) sites in Kirkuk and Nineveh, Iraq, leaving three fighters martyred and several others wounded, according to statements from the PMF.
The attacks are part of continued US-Israeli operations targeting Iraqi security forces and PMF installations.
The PMF reported that the Northern and East Tigris Operations Command in Kirkuk was hit by three airstrikes on the evening of Saturday, resulting in the deaths of three PMF members and injuries to four more.
An Iraqi security official told AFP that six additional soldiers were wounded in the Kirkuk attack, which struck a site near Kirkuk International Airport and a military base housing special forces.
In Nineveh, three airstrikes struck PMF positions during early Sunday hours. The first targeted the headquarters of the 14th Brigade under Nineveh Operations Command, while the second and third hit the fourth regiment within the same brigade.
The Nineveh site is shared with the police, according to security sources, highlighting the ongoing risk to multiple security agencies in the region.

While most honest analysts will conclude that the decision made by the White House came as a result of pressure from the Israelis or that this is a war that is being fought for Tel Aviv’s interests, many fail to see any clear strategy at play.
In order to understand the strategy behind the US-Israeli assault on the Islamic Republic, you must first remove the notion that the United States is in the driving seat to any significant extent.
Almost immediately after the 12-Day War in June of 2025, the Israeli leadership was already preparing for the next round. On July 7, Axios News even reported that officials in Tel Aviv believed that US President Trump would give them another green light to attack.
Meanwhile, the most influential Zionist think tanks in Washington DC, the likes of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), were openly discussing the necessity of a new round of confrontations.
These think tanks facilitated discussions and published pieces in which they made it clear that while the next round was inevitable, it had to be the last round, and that the US’s involvement would be important in deciding outcomes. … continue

A key US Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control aircraft has been “100% destroyed” in an Iranian missile and drone strike on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said.
The spy plane was hit along with several other US jets during Friday’s attack on the installation, located some 96 km (60 miles) southeast of Riyadh, the IRGC said in a statement on Sunday. The Saudi base was targeted “in response to hostile actions of the US terrorist army,” it read.
Up to six ballistic missiles and 29 UAVs were used, leaving at least 15 US troops wounded, including five in serious condition, according to AP.
Air & Space Forces Magazine, a US publication, reported the destruction of an AWACS aircraft at the Prince Sultan Air Base on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The same day, OSINTdefender, an open-source intelligence monitor, published photos on X it claimed captured the damage done to the spy plane.
It appeared to have been struck in its rear section where its distinctive rotating radar dome is located, with the explosion separating the tail from the fuselage.

The Iranian Revolution Guard condemned the bombing of the Tehran University of Science and Technology by American and Israeli forces, emphasizing that such attacks on universities and research centers will not go unanswered.
The IRGC warned that all universities in the Israeli entity, as well as American universities across West Asia, are now considered legitimate targets, following a principle of destroying two institutions for every Iranian university attacked.
“The misguided rulers of the White House should know that from now on, all universities of the occupying Israeli entity, as well as American universities in West Asia, are legitimate targets for us,” the statement said.
The statement issued a warning to all staff, professors, students, and nearby residents to maintain a safe distance of at least one kilometer from American universities in the region.
The Guard added that if the US government wants to ensure that its universities in the region are limited to only the two corresponding targets in this phase, it must issue an official statement by 12:00 PM on Monday, March 30 (Tehran time), condemning the bombing of the universities.
Failure to prevent future attacks by US forces or their allies will leave these institutions exposed to further military action, the statement added. … continue

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that the United States and the Israeli regime might seek to expand their ongoing unprovoked aggression targeting Iran.
The top diplomat made the remarks in a phone call with his Greek counterpart Georgios Gerapetritis on Saturday.
Araghchi cautioned about schemes harbored by Washington and Tel Aviv to expand the scope of the aggression “by compelling other countries to participate in the aggression or conduct false-flag operations against third countries.” … continue

Claims that an Iran-backed group is carrying out attacks in European cities raise questions about why they’re not targeting countries directly involved in the US-Israeli war, and why they appear to communicate like Israelis.
Strangely, suspects arrested in the attacks have been released on bail.
A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of Ashab al-Yamin. Officially known as “Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI),” or the “Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right,” the group mysteriously appeared in early March, and, according to mainstream media, it’s taking the continent by storm.
But a closer look at the supposedly Iran-backed terror organization suggests that it does not exist in any concrete form, and may be a confection of Israeli intelligence. … continue
Lyme vaccine could generate up to $1 billion in annual sales
By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. | The Defender | March 24, 2026
Pfizer said Monday that it plans to submit its experimental Lyme disease vaccine to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval, even though the drug failed to show conclusively that it was effective at preventing the disease.
Pfizer and its partner, French biotech company Valneva, said in a press release that late-stage trial results for the vaccine showed more than 70% efficacy in preventing infection.
However, they also said the drug failed to meet its primary endpoint — a standard clinical trial benchmark set in advance to determine whether a treatment is effective — to show that the efficacy claim was statistically robust.
Although the drug failed to meet the company’s own statistical cutoff for success, Pfizer said it plans to go ahead and submit the vaccine to the FDA because the results are “clinically meaningful,” and the company is “confident in the vaccine’s potential.”
Critics argue that redefining success after the drug failed the trial raises red flags.
Investigative journalist Paul D. Thacker wrote on X that the drug’s approval would be evidence that “Big Pharma runs America.” […]
The renewed push for a Lyme vaccine comes as reported infections continue to climb. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates about 476,000 Americans are diagnosed and treated for Lyme annually — with numbers rising as tick populations expand.
The illness, transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, is “caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and rarely, Borrelia mayonii.”
Typical symptoms of the illness include rashes, fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches and swollen lymph nodes. … Full article
46 Vaccines Already Underway
By Jon Fleetwood | March 27, 2026
AWorld Health Organization (WHO) press release from last month is drawing attention to the powerful foreign body’s push for next-generation influenza vaccines, stating they “could play a vital role in reducing the global burden of influenza” and guide future “investment, policy decisions, and introduction strategies – supporting stronger seasonal influenza programmes and enhanced pandemic preparedness.”
The WHO has elsewhere vowed that “[t]here will be influenza pandemics in the future.”
The February release centers on WHO’s Full Value of Improved Influenza Vaccine Assessment (FVIVA), a comprehensive report that goes beyond evaluating vaccines themselves and instead dictates a long-term international system for their development, production, and deployment.
The plan comes as governments and organizations all over the world are orchestrating a coming infuenza pandemic.
The WHO press release also highlights a pipeline already underway, noting that 46 next-generation influenza vaccines are currently in clinical development.
“As of February 2026, there are 46 next-generation influenza vaccines in clinical development using diverse technology platforms as reported by the Influenza Vaccines R&D Roadmap.”
Influenza currently stands out in terms of the sheer number of distinct candidates tracked in one coordinated landscape.
A recent Journal of Infection and Public Health paper shows that influenza bird flu research has exploded 1,000% worldwide, with WHO, CDC, and EcoHealth among the top institutional drivers. … continue

About a century ago – between those two World Wars which Europeans have generously given to the history of humanity – there was a joke about Hungary: It was a monarchy without a king and a landlocked country ruled by an admiral. It was funny because it was true.
Nowadays, though, we have proudly advanced. Now, we have a whole European Union, with 27 member states and 450 million people, run by an unelected German who really serves the US and has, a bit like Siegfried or Brunhilde, a special “shield” (about which more below) to protect a “democracy” administered and defined by an non-transparent, privileged, and aloof nomenklatura of equally unelected bureaucrats. … continue

US President Donald Trump revealed that Iranian forces carried out a coordinated assault on the USS Gerald R. Ford, stating that the world’s largest aircraft carrier came under a multi-directional attack in the Red Sea as Tehran intensifies its retaliation against the US-Israeli aggression launched on February 28.
Speaking at a Saudi investment forum in Miami on Friday, Trump described what unfolded as “a serious situation” for US naval forces, indicating that the scale and intensity of the operation rapidly overwhelmed expectations.
“It was one o’clock in the morning,” Trump said, recalling the moment the vessel came under attack “from 17 different angles.”
“We knew we were in trouble,” he added.
“They were here, they were there. We ran for our lives, it was over,” Trump said, relaying the account of a Navy commander who was aboard at the time. … continue

The US “worked directly with Al-Qaeda” and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) to topple former President Bashar Assad and destroy Syria, US President Donald Trump’s former counterterrorism chief, Joe Kent, has said.
Kent, who resigned as head of the US National Counterterrorism Center in protest of the US-Israeli war against Iran, made the remarks in an interview with MintPress News on Friday.
The former senior official reiterated his take on the Iran conflict as the latest in a series of wars waged by the US on behalf of Israel, preceded by the Second Iraq War and the Syrian Civil War, in which Washington actively backed terrorist groups, he said.
“We came in and we said: We’re going to work with the Israelis, but we’re also going to have to work heavily with the Sunni population on the ground in Syria to create an uprising,” he added.
“And that’s where ISIS came from. We worked directly with Al-Qaeda; Hillary Clinton’s emails confirm this. The operations that we were doing to support the so-called Free Syrian Army, and there were some moderates there, but the most effective guys initially were Al-Qaeda and then eventually ISIS.” … Full article

Openly declaring its intent to illegally occupy southern Lebanon, Israel finds itself in a costly ground battle with Hezbollah, from which there are indications Syria may soon be roped in. This is born from the understanding that in order to successfully weaken the Lebanese resistance, the Israeli military must penetrate the Bekaa Valley area.
Understanding the costly price of attempting to physically take all of south Lebanon militarily, both Washington and Tel Aviv have been attempting to devise strategies that would help achieve Israel’s war goals of weakening Hezbollah.
One possible option that has been placed on the table is the use of Syria’s military to invade Lebanon’s border and attack Hezbollah, aiming to go after what is labelled critical infrastructure belonging to the Lebanese group. According to reports, the US Trump administration has directly put pressure on Syrian leader Ahmed al-Shara’a to do just that.
In the event of such an assault, the Beka’a Valley would be the target territory. The Beka’a is what Israel’s Alma Research and Education think-tank calls “Hezbollah’s strategic depth”, which it argues is the group’s “operational and logistical center of gravity”. If Tel Aviv truly seeks to degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities, a ground incursion into this region is the only way to truly achieve such a goal.
Another plausible option is that Israel itself will use Syrian territory in order to invade Lebanon’s eastern border. This would appear possible, as the current Hayat Tahrir al-Sham administration in Damascus has allowed Israel to use Lebanese territory on two occasions so far. … continue

Thailand has secured an agreement with Iran to allow its oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced on Saturday.
“Recently, successful negotiations with Iran have allowed Thai oil tankers to transit safely through the Strait of Hormuz, easing concerns over crude supply and expediting oil deliveries to Thailand,” Anutin said at a press conference, without providing further details.
The development follows a statement issued earlier this week by Iran’s mission to the United Nations, which said that vessels deemed “non-hostile” and not involved in or supportive of attacks against Iran are permitted to navigate the strait. According to the mission, ships that comply with “declared security regulations” may pass “safely” in coordination with Iranian authorities.
Iran has partially restricted the Strait of Hormuz since the outbreak of war in late February. The waterway is a key artery for global energy flows, with nearly 20 percent of the world’s exported oil passing through it.
Much of that oil is destined for Asian countries, including Thailand, where concerns over potential fuel shortages have intensified in recent weeks. … Full article

Al Mayadeen Media Network announced the martyrdom of its correspondent to South Lebanon, Fatima Ftouni, on Saturday after an Israeli airstrike directly struck a vehicle clearly marked as a press car in which she and fellow journalists were travelling.
Al-Manar correspondent Ali Sheaib, and Fatima’s brother, Mohammad, were also in the vehicle at the time of the attack.
Fatima had been in the field covering the ongoing Israeli aggression on Lebanon, doing the work she was known and loved for, bringing the reality of her people’s resistance to audiences around the world.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent Jamal Ghourabi, “Israel” targeted Fatima’s vehicle with four precision missiles. After that, when ambulances arrived on the scene, paramedics were then targeted, leading to the martyrdom of one paramedic, reflecting an obvious attempt to assassinate press crews and even paramedics attempting to reach them.
She was a fixture of Al Mayadeen’s newsroom long before she took to the field, having served as an editor at Al Mayadeen Net, where colleagues remember her as warm, devoted, and deeply committed to her craft. […]
Fatima and her brother are not the first of their family to be martyred in this war. Earlier this month, Fatima’s uncle and his family were martyred in an Israeli strike that targeted their house in Toul, a death Fatima herself reported on live television, steady and present at the moment the world learned what she had just lost. – Full article

The New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have arrested Alexander Heifler, a member of a pro-Israel terror group, for plotting the assassination of a well-known pro-Palestinian activist.
Heifler, 26, was charged in federal court on Friday with making and possessing Molotov cocktails that investigators said he was planning to use in the assassination attempt.
He was taken into custody at his home in the neighboring state of New Jersey, after detectives and federal agents searched his residence and found eight Molotov cocktails.
Police identified Heifler as a member of a branch of the so-called Jewish Defense League (JDL), a pro-Israel group designated by the FBI as a terrorist organization. … continue

Bahraini police released the body of Mohammad al-Mousawi to his family on 27 March, days after detaining him at a checkpoint and torturing him to death for opposing the US-Israeli war on Iran.
A graphic video circulated online of Mousawi’s corpse at the local morgue, showing signs of torture all over his face, legs, arms, and feet.
According to Maryam al-Khawaja, a Bahraini-Danish Human Rights Defender, Mousawi previously spent 12 years in prison. He was released in 2024 but was arrested a few days ago at a checkpoint.
Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society wrote on X that Mousawi was detained and brutally tortured to death on false allegations that he was linked to secret Iranian cells.
“The Bahraini regime has resorted to killing the Bahraini citizen Mr. Muhammad Sayed Mohsen al-Mousawi from Muharraq Governorate, days after his arrest, as a result of the brutal, deadly torture practiced by the Bahraini regime against the innocent, with the aim of framing them in fabricated cells and organizations,” wrote Al-Wefaq.
“After days of no news of him, Mr. Muhammad was handed over as a lifeless, mutilated corpse, torn apart by the brutal torture tools at the hands of the Bahraini regime, represented by the notorious Ministry of Interior, known for committing crimes against humanity over the past years,” Al-Wefaq added.
Bahraini authorities have reportedly arrested hundreds of people since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran, including women and children, and have subjected them to torture and defamatory media campaigns.
Al-Wefaq, a Bahraini Shia political party, was banned by authorities in 2011. Between 2006 and 2011, it was the single largest party in the Bahraini legislature, with 18 representatives in the 40-member parliament.
Bahrain has a majority Shia population but is governed by a constitutional monarchy led by a Sunni royal family, the Khalifa family, which enjoys strong support from Saudi Arabia.
In 2011, large-scale protests erupted against the Bahraini ruling family amid the broader Arab Spring. The Saudi military sent tanks to the island nation to help the ruling family crush the protests.
Bahrain hosts the largest US Navy base in the Gulf region and has allowed US forces to launch attacks on Iran from its territory since the start of the war on 28 February. … Full article
‘Socio-economic death sentence’
Remix News – March 27, 2026
The Frankfurt am Main District Court in Germany has recently upheld a German bank’s decision to maintain the suspension of accounts belonging to Berlin-based journalist Hüseyin Doğru, who is known for his pro-Palestinian news coverage. The ruling rejected an urgent application by the journalist, who is currently facing the threat of homelessness due to EU sanctions. The court’s decision means Dogru remains without the necessary funds for rent or basic daily needs.
The legal battle surrounding Hüseyin Doğru has sparked intense political debate in Germany, with critics describing the case as a “socio-economic death sentence” and a dangerous precedent for press freedom. Certainly, these EU sanctions, which can freeze bank accounts, can be used to effectively target dissident journalists across the EU in the coming years.
According to the German court order, there was no right that would entitle Doğru, who has a Turkish background but also has German citizenship, to continue using his bank account while under sanctions. Berliner Zeitung reported that the judge determined that the situation lacked the “prerequisite for intervention in the urgent procedure” because “Doğru has no enforceable right to have the bank release the transfers it has requested.”
The impact of this ruling on Doğru’s personal life is severe. Expressing his concern for his family’s future, Doğru stated, “The risk of ending up on the streets with three children is a concrete threat.” … continue
The US has warned that weapons deliveries to Ukraine could be halted as the Pentagon shifts its focus to the Iran war.
The State Department reportedly told European NATO allies that munitions deliveries — especially Patriot surface-to-air missiles — could face disruptions.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio raised the issue at the G7 foreign ministers meeting on March 27.
NATO members have already voiced concerns that the US could reroute weapons they had bought and paid for to replenish its stockpiles amid the Iran war.
The Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) — under which US allies buy arms from the US for Ukraine—may also face disruption, despite some having “received assurances” from Washington.

Experts identified the weapons as consistent with publicly available images of American BLU-91/B anti-tank mines, which are part of the Gator Scatterable Mine System. The United States is the only actor in the current aggression on Iran that possesses this system.
This would mark the first known use of these mines by US forces in over two decades, with the last documented deployment during the 1991 Gulf War.

Iran’s continued membership in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has no purpose, after it failed to offer any benefits to Tehran, said Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly.
In a post on X, Rezaei stated that the NPT has not protected Iran from attacks, stating, “The NPT has not only failed to shield our country from the attacks of nuclear powers, but our nuclear facilities have been repeatedly targeted and international documents and agreements have been completely ignored.”
Rezaei emphasized Iran’s stance on nuclear weapons, saying, “We have no intention of producing a bomb, and our policy in this area remains unchanged.” He criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director general, asserting that his remark that “the only way to destroy Iran’s nuclear program is a nuclear bomb” is “provocative and dangerous.”
He also pointed to US actions, noting that while “America has withdrawn from 60 international organizations and conventions,” if Iran leaves the NPT, it would likely be met with “surprise and opposition from the West.”
Rezaei concluded with a clear message on Iran’s future in the treaty, “The time to leave has come.”

Media sources reported that occupation forces shot and seriously injured the young man Mustafa Asaad Mustafa Hamad, 22, before he succumbed to a live gunshot wound in the Qalandia camp.
At dawn Friday, a large army forces stormed the entrance to the Qalandia refugee camp, sparking protests from local Palestinians.
Soldiers opened fire with live ammunition, tear gas canisters, and concussion grenades, shooting a total of four young men with live rounds.
The Jerusalem Governorate reported that occupation troops shot a number of young men with live ammunition while they were at the entrance to the camp, and abducted one of the injured young men.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon, dozens of citizens participated in a large funeral procession for the slain Mustafa Asaad Mustafa Hamad, beginning in front of the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah to his home in the Qalandia camp.
Following the funeral, occupation forces invaded the camp again, positioning sharpshooters on rooftops at the entrance to the camp and stormed the funeral gathering at the home of the slain Hamad.
The Jerusalem Governorate reported that Israeli soldiers opened heavy fire towards young men leaving the cemetery after the funeral for Mustafa Hamad.

As the Israeli-US war on the Islamic Republic of Iran continues, so too does its seemingly never-ending assault on the people of Gaza. Which may end up resulting in one of the most extreme forms of blowback that the Zionist regime has ever faced.
The so-called Gaza ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, has proven to be precisely the opposite of a cessation of hostilities. Instead, just like with the way in which the Israelis dealt with the Lebanon ceasefire, they decided that the deal only applies to one side and that because they have the military edge, they can simply bomb wherever at will.
In the case of the Lebanese ceasefire, over 15,400 total violations were tallied by the time that Hezbollah chose to respond. Gaza’s official violation count is steadily on the way to the 3,000 mark, with the Zionist entity having murdered around 700 people during the “ceasefire” period.
Just as this strategy of arrogance backfired with Hezbollah, of believing that they can simply assert dominance and commit atrocities whenever they choose without any response, so too is it likely to blow up in their faces with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza. … continue
GAZA – Hamas political bureau member Bassem Naim has firmly rejected proposals by former UN envoy Nikolay Mladenov that link resistance weapons in Gaza to administrative and security arrangements, including the deployment of international forces and reconstruction efforts.
Naim said the plan reflects bias toward Israel and contradicts previous agreements and international resolutions, accusing Mladenov of attempting to reshape the framework in line with Israeli interests while ignoring ceasefire violations and the lack of guarantees for implementation.
He warned that tying humanitarian needs such as reconstruction and easing the blockade to disarmament is unacceptable, stressing that such proposals come at the expense of Palestinian rights.
According to Naim, ongoing Israeli violations since the ceasefire have killed more than 750 Palestinians and injured around 1,800, while reconstruction materials remain restricted and crossings largely closed.
A leaked document outlining the proposal suggests a step-by-step approach linking disarmament to humanitarian progress, alongside a transitional governance plan based on a single authority and a single weapon framework.
Naim argued the plan imposes significant obligations on Palestinian factions without ensuring reciprocal commitments, raising concerns over expanded international intervention in Gaza.
The remarks come as the Israeli attacks on Gaza continue to cause massive casualties, displacement, and widespread destruction across the territory.

Political slogans are cheap. Governing is not. “America First” is not a bumper-sticker philosophy. It is a testable claim about priorities: How much debt will we pile up, how many wars will we drift into, and how often will elected officials treat Congress as a ceremonial prop rather than a constitutional branch.
Midterm elections are where slogans go to trial. Primaries, especially, are where interests that cannot reliably win a general election try to win the nomination. They do it with money, with media saturation, and with the oldest trick in politics: framing obedience as unity.
This year, two Republican races show the fork in the road. In northern Kentucky, Rep. Thomas Massie is fighting a primary that has become a national vendetta project. In South Carolina, Senator Lindsey Graham is seeking a fifth term while publicly linking his political identity to a foreign-policy crusade, and treating dissent at home as a moral failing.
If Massie survives and Graham falls, it signals that Republican voters still have room for independence, constitutional friction, and skepticism toward overseas commitments. If Massie loses and Graham wins, it signals the reverse: the slogan becomes a mascot for power, not a restraint on it. … continue
The United States is aiming to take control of the Russian-owned Nord Stream pipelines that link Russia and Germany, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday, alleging Washington’s interest in the damaged infrastructure reflects a broader push to dominate global energy markets.
Peskov told reporters that the U.S. focus on the Baltic Sea pipelines was “evident,” adding that the assets — rendered inoperable after sabotage in September 2022 — remain the property of Russian state-owned Gazprom.
Foreign partners withdrew following the imposition of sanctions, which Moscow considers illegitimate, he said. “One of them is destroyed, it is deteriorating further each day due to the aggressiveness of the marine environment.”
His comments came hours after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told France Télévisions that Washington was seeking to dominate world energy markets, including the Nord Stream system. A 2024 Wall Street Journal report said U.S. investor Stephen P. Lynch had been exploring the purchase of Nord Stream 2, one branch of which remains intact.
Peskov also dismissed as “a lie” speculation that Russia was threatening to halt operations of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) in the Black Sea to pressure the United States. He said Russia remains a reliable energy transit partner and accused Ukraine of carrying out drone attacks against CPC infrastructure, causing temporary suspensions.
“In practice, it is Kiev that has been and continues to engage in energy blackmail, which affects the interests of our companies,” Peskov underscored.

Two US lawmakers are seeking to impose sanctions on officials in Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government, citing Budapest’s stance on Russian energy imports and its ongoing diplomatic dispute with Ukraine.
Ukraine cut off Russian oil supplies to Hungary earlier this year, claiming that damage to the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline made deliveries impossible. Orban has accused Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of trying to manufacture an artificial energy crisis to boost the Hungarian opposition in the upcoming parliamentary election, and has retaliated by blocking a €90 billion EU loan intended to bankroll Kiev.
A bill threatening Hungarian officials was announced on Friday by Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, and Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican, who co-chair the US Senate NATO observer group.
“When the rest of Europe is rightfully weaning off Russian energy, Hungary has doubled down,” Shaheen, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, said. She also took aim at Vice President J.D. Vance over his reported plans to travel to Hungary in a gesture of support for Orban.
Tillis said the bill – the BLOCK PUTIN Act – signals that NATO members undermining Ukraine aid will face “consequences,” while also “giving Hungary a clear path to get back in line.” … continue

Recently, the Kiev regime halted the regular deployment of troops for training abroad. This reveals more than a mere administrative change. In reality, it is a symptom of deeply entrenched structural problems within the country’s state and military apparatus. Under the pretext of logistical difficulties and the supposed lack of preparedness of Western instructors, Kiev authorities appear to be promoting a strategic reconfiguration that opens even greater space for corrupt practices. … continue

The Russian House cultural center in the Czech capital of Prague was attacked with Molotov cocktails on Thursday evening, in what Moscow has labeled a “terrorist attack.”
The facility’s director, Igor Girenko, told RT that the attackers appeared to target the windows of the building’s library, noting that three of the six incendiary bottles thrown failed to explode. “It’s hard to imagine what the consequences would have been if these inhumane men had succeeded.” … Full article

The US and “Israel” targeted residential areas across Iran on Friday, with attacks reported in the city of Urmia in the northwestern province of West Azerbaijan as rescue teams continued searching for survivors.
Another three residential buildings were hit in the central city of Qom in the early hours of Friday, killing 15 people and wounding 10 others. The attack came a day after the United States carried out strikes on two residential areas in Iran’s Isfahan province on Thursday.
Iran’s Health Ministry has confirmed that at least 1,937 people have been martyred and 24,800 wounded since the start of the aggression, with victims ranging in age from eight months to 88 years old. […]
Iran’s deputy health minister confirmed that attacks have damaged 190 medical centres and put 12 hospitals out of service.
According to Iranian Red Crescent head Pir Hossein Kolivand, 22 medical personnel have been martyred and 113 others wounded in strikes on health facilities, while 66 children under the age of five have been martyred since the aggression began. … Full article

Iran is mobilizing one million soldiers to repel any potential ground invasion launched by the US army against the Islamic Republic, an Iranian military source told Tasnim News Agency on 26 March.
“With the growing speculation about the possibility of a historical folly by the US in launching a ground invasion on the southern front of Iran, a wave of enthusiasm has emerged among Iranian ground fighters to create a historical hell for the Americans on Iranian soil,” the source said.
The source added that “in addition to organizing more than one million fighters for ground combat, in recent days there has been a massive influx of requests from Iranian youth directed towards the centers of Basij, the IRGC, and the Army to also participate in this battle.”
“The US wants to open the Strait of Hormuz with suicide and self-destructive tactics; that’s fine. We are ready for both their suicide strategy to be executed and for the Strait to remain closed,” the source went on to say. … continue

Wars are always unpredictable. The most famous instance is of another armada like the US’ in the Persian Gulf at the moment — the Spanish Armada, a 130-ship naval fleet sent by Spain in 1588 commanded by Alonso de Guzmán, Duke of Medina Sidonia, an aristocrat appointed by Philip II of Spain to invade England, depose Queen Elizabeth I, and restore Catholicism.
Despite its strength, the Spanish Armada was defeated in the English Channel by a smaller English force using fireships and better artillery, then largely destroyed by storms while retreating around Scotland and Ireland.
The US president Donald Trump’s much-touted armada has more or less the same mission as the Spanish Armada — ranging from regime change to overthrow of the Islamic system of governance to the unspoken leitmotif of a Crusade. Curiously, it seems destined for a similar miserable ending too, the US’ overwhelming military superiority notwithstanding.
Sir Alexander William Younger KCMGUS, former head of MI6, said in an interview with the Economist on Monday that Iran has gained the “upper hand” in the ongoing war with the United States and Iran. Sir Alexander complimented Iran.
More than one factor contributed to this “paradigm shift” of the Big Boy coming out second best. Bad planning, lack of a coherent strategy, over-confidence over the US’ apparent military superiority – all these played their part in the undoing of the plot against Iran that the two aggressors hatched. … continue
