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

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

“The objective is clear: to subjugate the people of this Arab and Islamic nation, reducing them to servants and subordinates to the criminal Netanyahu and the reckless Trump,” the statement read.
Speaking “out of religious and moral duty,” they “unequivocally condemned the Zionist arrogance” and “blind Zionist aggression driven by a false biblical narrative.” … Full article

Iraqi resistance factions targeted the US Victoria Base near Baghdad airport in at least eight separate rocket and drone strikes, just days after video footage showed the site engulfed in flames as a result of non-stop attacks.
“Eight separate attacks, carried out until dawn with rockets and drones, targeted the US center,” a senior Iraqi security source told AFP on 22 March.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq coalition announced on Sunday morning that its fighters carried out 21 operations over the past 24 hours, “using dozens of drones and missiles to target US occupation bases in Iraq and across the region.”
The US Victoria base – located near Baghdad airport – has come under continuous attacks by the Iraqi resistance since the start of Washington and Tel Aviv’s brutal war against Iran. The site serves as a US military logistical center. … continue

HMS Anson, fitted with Tomahawk Block IV land-attack missiles with a range of ≈ 1,609 km and Spearfish heavyweight torpedoes, is believed to be taking up position in the waters of the northern Arabian Sea, reports the Daily Mail.
Lieutenant General Nick Perry, running overseas missions from Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJH), could potentially give the order to fire salvos at Iran if authorized by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, defense sources told the outlet.
This comes as Starmer recently caved to US pressure and allowed the use British bases to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz.
The decision triggered a mass rally in London, where thousands took to the streets to protest US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned in a post on X that the UK PM was putting the lives of his compatriots at risk by allowing British bases to be used for aggression against Iran.

Russia’s permanent representative to the international organizations in Vienna has categorically denounced US-Israeli strikes on Iran’s civilian nuclear facilities, warning that such acts of aggression risk to result in a nuclear disaster.

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

“Israel” is witnessing a surge in reverse migration from the Occupied Territories to European countries and the United States via the Taba crossing with Egypt, driven by fears of Iranian missile strikes.
The channel noted that thousands of Israelis, including families and foreign students, are choosing to cross the border through Taba to continue their journeys from airports in the Sinai Peninsula, especially as flight schedules from “Israel” face frequent changes.
The report added that the Taba crossing has become a 24-hour hub of activity, with aid organizations providing secure buses to transport travelers from al-Quds to Sinai.

… Some military and geopolitical analysts expressed skepticism that Trump’s threat could achieve its stated goal, pointing to the decentralized nature of Iran’s electrical grid.
“This is a game that Trump will almost certainly lose, and very badly at that,” wrote Chamberlain’s Ghost, a social media user.
“Iran’s electrical power generation and grid are highly decentralised – there are well over 400 power stations of varying sizes but the largest accounts for only 2.9% of Iranian power generation.”
The analyst further noted that even Russia, with a far larger arsenal, has struggled to seriously degrade Ukraine’s more concentrated grid after months of sustained strikes.
He predicted that before Iran’s grid collapses, “Israel’s grid will be destroyed and the (Persian) Gulf states will be in flames,” calling Trump’s threat “more incoherent.” … Full article

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

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for supplying oil and liquefied natural gas from the Persian Gulf to the global market, has been effectively halted. As a result, fuel prices are rising in most countries.
Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who is also the special presidential representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, predicted a fuel crisis for the EU and UK in two to three weeks.
“As predicted, fuel rationing is imminent in UK & EU,” Dmitriev said on X. “Crisis will be obvious in UK/EU in 2–3 weeks. Reality bites.”
Dmitriev also suggested that Europeans should remember the EU leadership at gas stations, where fuel prices were rising.
“Remember them at [gas station],” Dmitriev said, reposting a photo featuring, among others, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.

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

Bahrain’s government has admitted that a US Patriot air defense system was involved in the March 9 interception over the Sitra residential area that left dozens of civilians injured, Reuters reported.

In a statement to Reuters, a Bahraini government spokesperson said the Patriot system intercepted an Iranian drone, insisting that the operation “prevented a drone strike and saved lives.”
CENTCOM had previously maintained that an Iranian drone directly struck a residential neighbourhood. Bahrain’s admission that a Patriot missile was involved now places both accounts in open contradiction with the footage and with each other. … continue

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

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

Heavy Israeli artillery shelling also targeted the town of Naqoura in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon.
In a related context, Hezbollah announced on Friday that it had carried out 55 counterattacks on Israeli military sites, using rockets, drones, and artillery projectiles.

For centuries, the strategy of “divide and conquer” has been a cornerstone of Western geopolitical power. The British Empire mastered the art of ruling vast territories with minimal forces by exploiting internal divisions, setting local leaders against one another, leveraging ethnic tensions, and securing cooperation through selective incentives (aka bribes). The United States later employed similar tactics, from Cold War interventions to coalition-building in Iraq and Southeast Asia. The principle remains consistent: fracture opposition to maintain advantage.
Today, we are witnessing a role reversal in real time. Iran, long subjected to Western pressure and sanctions, is employing a parallel strategy regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Much of the west is not entirely enamoured of Trump’s Iran strategy but is afraid to openly challenge America. The closing of the Strait is economically catastrophic for most US allies and they are caught between a rock and a hard place – a vindictive Trump demanding support to open the Strait, and economic hardship.
In steps Iran with its own “divide and conquer” strategy, now reportedly negotiating with individual Asian and European countries a sort of Hormuz toll to allow tankers from these allied countries to pass through. And of course, they would each be required to not support the the US Navy if it attempts to open Hormuz. These discussions would be regarding tolls, security guarantees, and bilateral arrangements that would circumvent a collective response.
This approach carries significant strategic implications. … continue

Iran has signaled it may allow Japanese-linked vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, in what appears to be a calibrated move aimed at maintaining essential energy flows for non-hostile states while continuing to impose pressure on countries involved in the ongoing aggression against it.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a phone interview with Kyodo news that Tehran is prepared to facilitate transit for Japanese ships, with discussions already underway with Tokyo. The development comes as maritime traffic through the strategic waterway remains severely limited following weeks of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, which triggered a broader regional confrontation and prompted Tehran to impose restrictions on shipping.
Iran has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz has not been universally closed, but rather restricted in response to an unprovoked war. Araghchi stressed this distinction, stating: “We have not closed the strait. It is open.”
He further clarified that limitations have primarily targeted vessels linked to states participating in the attacks, while countries maintaining neutral or diplomatic positions could be granted passage through coordination with Tehran. This approach reflects Iran’s effort to assert control over the waterway without fully halting global energy flows. … Full article

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

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

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

In a separate incident, a three-day-old infant and his family were killed in a US-Israeli strike on a rural home near the city of Arak, located in western-central Iran.
Human rights organizations remain silent over civilian toll in Iran
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) criticized the silence and inaction of human rights bodies, regional and global leaders, and human rights defenders in response to US and Israeli crimes.
Commenting on the deliberate targeting of civilians, Heidi Matthews, an assistant professor of law at Osgoode Hall, York University, said the primary reason for the ongoing destruction is the lack of political and legal accountability.
She added that most Western nations have failed to meaningfully support international legal efforts to hold Israeli leaders responsible for war crimes, including through the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
One of the most notable examples of the US-Israeli crimes in Iran is the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, which killed more than 160 schoolgirls.

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

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

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

Switzerland on Friday said it would not issue licences for companies to export weapons to the United States due to the ongoing attacks on Iran, citing the country’s neutrality.
“The export of war materiel to countries involved in the international armed conflict with Iran cannot be authorised for the duration of the conflict,” the government said in a statement.
“Exports of war materiel to the USA cannot currently be authorised,” it added. […]
On Friday, the government said that since the Israeli and US strikes on Iran began on February 28, no new licences had been issued for exports of war materiel to the United States.
The government noted that no definitive licences for export of war materiel to Israel have been granted for several years. … Full article

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

The UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, and Canada issued a joint statement on 20 March in support of a potential “coalition” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while specifying “no commitment” to a concrete military role.
“We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the strait,” the close US allies announced.
The joint statement did not, however, touch on any military involvement or the commitment of any forces to the initiative.
One political reporter writing for Axios said the statement was “largely a gesture to placate [US] President [Donald] Trump, who has railed against allies for declining to help secure the strait and warned that a failure to do so could undermine the future of NATO.” … continue
TEHRAN – Iran proposes creating a Middle East security structure with the participation of regional countries, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Friday.
“We are ready to resolve all problems with you. In order to ensure peace in the region, we propose to create a security structure in the Middle East, which will include Islamic countries, in order to ensure peace, stability and security,” Pezeshkian said in an address on the occasion of the Iranian New Year.
Middle Eastern countries do not need the presence of “outsiders,” the president said.
Pezeshkian said that the United States and Israel had no reason to assassinate late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
“They killed our leader and our commanders without any reason or logic,” Pezeshkian said in a speech marking the upcoming Iranian New Year.

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

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

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

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

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has warned the United Kingdom that permitting the United States to use British military bases amounts to “participation in aggression.”
In a phone call with UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, Araghchi criticized Britain’s “negative and biased approach” toward ongoing US-Israeli military actions against Iran. He also condemned London’s decision to grant the US access to key military installations for operations targeting Iranian missile sites.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had authorized the use of RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean for what officials described as “defensive” strikes against Iranian positions.
In a statement posted in Farsi on Telegram, Araghchi said he had conveyed to Cooper that such actions “will definitely be considered as participation in aggression and will be recorded in the history of relations between the two countries,” adding that Iran “reserves its inherent right to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.” … continue

Israeli forces on Wednesday carried out demolitions and land clearing that affected agricultural structures and a water well in the town of Al-Ramadin, south of Hebron.
Local sources said the forces entered the areas of Tatreit and Deir Saeeda in the town and carried out widespread damage to residents’ property. This included demolishing a concrete room, a water well and an agricultural shed, as well as destroying plastic water tanks belonging to several families.
In a related development, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission said it had documented 1,965 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank last month, including 1,454 carried out by the Israeli army.
The commission also reported 72 demolition operations during the same period, affecting 122 structures. These included 56 inhabited homes and nine uninhabited houses, as well as 34 agricultural facilities and 18 structures that serve as sources of income for residents, amid a rise in violations against Palestinians and their property.

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

Hezbollah targeted and struck six Israeli Merkava tanks during heavy battles in south Lebanon overnight on 19 March, resulting in confirmed casualties among invading troops.
In a statement, the Lebanese resistance said that its fighters ambushed an advancing Israeli force in Taybeh for the third time this week, destroying one Merkava tank before targeting a second advance of troops toward Deir Siryan, where five additional Merkava tanks were destroyed.
Soldiers were seen fleeing, and Israeli helicopters later attempted to evacuate casualties, Hezbollah added.
“The enemy army deployed a number of helicopters to evacuate the injured under heavy fire and smoke cover, but our Mujahideen proceeded to target the evacuation area with rocket and artillery fire.”
Earlier on Thursday morning, Al Manar TV correspondent Ali Shoeib reported intense clashes in Taybeh, adding that Hezbollah fighters were carrying out heavy attacks targeting Israeli forces.
This prompted “hysterical” retaliatory shelling, helicopter evacuations, and heavy aerial activity over Taybeh, Odaisseh, and Kfar Kila, Shoeib said.

Israel’s veiled threat to Moscow came just after Russian media warned traffic cameras in Moscow were vulnerable to the same exploits that Israel reportedly used to monitor Ayatollah Khamenei’s residence before assassinating him.
Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets.
Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.”
She added, ominously, “I hope Moscow does not wish Israel ill right now – I’d like to believe that.” … continue
Kent resigned this week as the head of the National Counterterrorism Center in protest against the Iran war, blaming Israel for pushing Washington to attack

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

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

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

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

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

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