Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency across 91 counties due to ongoing wildfires in the southern portion of the state, with a burn ban in effect for 30 days, unless otherwise renewed.
As of Thursday, the Brantley County Fire had burned more than 5,000 acres in southeastern Georgia and was 15% contained, destroying over 90 homes.
The sheriff's office said 1,000 more homes are currently threatened by the wildfire.

Massive tornadoes rip through Oklahoma, destroying homes and leaving entire towns on edge as millions across four states are issued urgent warning
By MELISSA KOENIG, US REPORTER
Published: 00:03 EDT, 24 April 2026 | Updated: 03:10 EDT, 24 April 2026
Massive tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma on Thursday night, flattening homes, lifting cars and leaving residents on edge as millions of people across four states remained under tornado warnings.
The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado formed over the town of Braman in Kay County, Oklahoma near the Kansas border at around 7.30pm on Thursday.
The town was already without power at the time, which prevented the sirens from sounding as the tornado entered town, officials said.
Just about an hour later, the weather service confirmed that another tornado formed at 8.40pm on the southeastern side of Enid, a city of roughly 50,000 people, where it struck Vance Air Force Base.
Only minor damage was reported at the base, but just to the east, the Grayridge neighborhood suffered heavy damage with homes flattened, KOSU reports.
Storm trackers reported that the massive vortex, which merged with a smaller one, was on the ground for about 40 minutes.
Overall, there were 17 reported tornadoes Thursday night between Oklahoma and Iowa, as a severe weather threat stretched all the way from Texas to the Great Lakes and dozens of tornado warnings remained in place across Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska
The National Weather Service warned the storms was life-threatening and could produce golf ball-sized hail.
'TAKE COVER NOW!' the National Weather Service warned online. 'Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows.
'If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.'
Enid emergency management officials said about a dozen people were injured in the storm, but there were no known fatalities.
INTEGRIS Health Enid Hospital also reported that one individual was admitted to the medical center with lacerations on his leg after a wall fell during the tornado.
Shocking videos shared online showed the swirling black vortex lifting up debris from the streets as dark clouds filled the sky.
KOCO News Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane said the tornado over Enid, which he was tracking live on air, is 'the strongest storm we have seen in a very long time here in Oklahoma.'
Behind him, video showed the storm ranging and leaving houses in ruins in its wake.
'Oh, is that a house that was just hit?' Lane said as he watched the tornado rage on. 'Oh my goodness.'
The sight left Lane momentarily speechless, as he was seen holding his fist up to his mouth.
'OK yeah, that house is flattened - that house is completely flattened,' he then said as he regained his composure, noting that the tornado was 'getting bigger and bigger and bigger right now.'
Other footage shared online showed one of the massive tornadoes lifting up a vehicle into its swirling vortex, and a tornado approaching homes at Vance Air Force Base on Thursday night.
But Enid Mayor David Mason said he had been in contact with Colonel Josh Lundeby, the 71st Flying Training Wing commander at Vance Air Force Base, and was informed that the base sustained minimal damage to the fences.
Still, authorities announced Thursday night that the base was closed indefinitely due to ongoing power and water restoration efforts.
'Only mission essential personnel required to support critical operations and restoration of base utilities should report for duty,' the base posted online.
'All other personnel should remain at home and monitor official base communication channels for updates and reporting instructions.'
Nobody was injured at the base and no aircraft or homes were damaged, according to Enid News & Eagle.
When search and rescue operations then got underway on Thursday night, a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for the Grayridge neighborhood.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has offered his prayers for the Enid community, which he said 'has been severely impacted by tonight's tornado.'
'I have spoken with Enid’s local leaders and will continue working with them as they assess the damage and identify needs,' he said in a statement.
'My prayers are with everyone on Vance Air Force Base and the surrounding neighborhood, and I am asking God to bring healing and comfort in the days ahead.'
In the meantime, the American Red Cross said it is providing disaster assistance to those affected by the storm.

The Democrat Party's Israel Problem Just Exploded
David Brody
04-23-2026
A political shift inside the halls of Congress is becoming harder to ignore—and for Israel, it's not good news.
Democrats are increasingly moving in the opposite direction when it comes to support for the Jewish state, signaling what many see as a full-scale reversal within the party.
California Congressman Ro Khanna summed up the current sentiment bluntly: "We're a party that believes in two states in peace," Khanna told ABC News. "But let me tell you what we're not for. We're not for aid to Israel. They've got a $45 billion defense budget. Why are we giving them money?"
The tone on social media is even sharper. New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted the following: "I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. Law."
Then came what many are calling a seismic shift. In a recent Senate vote to limit weapons sales to Israel, a striking 40 Democrats voted in favor. That number didn't come out of nowhere—it's been building year after year.
In 2024, 19 Democrats supported limiting arms to Israel. In 2025, that number climbed to 24. Now, in 2026, it has surged to 40. That's all but seven Democrats in the Senate. Notably, the group includes Jewish senators who have long identified as pro-Israel—names like Adam Schiff, Elissa Slotkin, Ron Wyden, and Jon Ossoff.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman has emerged as a rare voice within his party pushing back against the trend. "Why aren't you criticizing Iran? Why aren't you criticizing Hamas or Hezbollah or these other kinds of forces?" Fetterman asked on CNN. "If you have to pick a side here, criticize that. So that's where we're at as a Democratic Party. And you're going to vote against the kinds of critical aid that Israel requires to need to beat back and destroy organizations like Hezbollah."

Trump Is The Most Pro-Israel President In American History—But The World Is Not Applauding
By
Robert Gottselig April 24, 2026Last Saturday, President Trump posted to Truth Social: “Whether people like Israel or not, they have proven to be a GREAT Ally of the United States of America. They are Courageous, Bold, Loyal, and Smart, and, unlike others that have shown their true colors in a moment of conflict and stress, Israel fights hard and knows how to WIN!”
No matter what you may think of him, one thing is certain: President Trump has been the most pro-Israel president in American history. For that, I am extremely grateful, especially in a world that blames Israel for everything.
Here is a brief list of Trump’s pro-Israel achievements in his first and second terms in office:
Recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
Moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights
Brokered the Abraham Accords
Withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear (JCPOA)
Shifted the American stance on Israeli settlements
Cut funding to Palestinian-related terror programs
Closed the PLO office in Washington
Strengthened military and strategic ties with Israel
Was the first sitting president to visit the Western Wall
Backed Israel throughout the Gaza war
Reversed some of the Biden-era restrictions on Israel
Cracked down on college campus anti-Israel movements
Took on the Iranian regime with Israel to prevent them from creating a nuclear bomb to be used not only on Israel but also on the West.
Yet, much of the world is not applauding this impressive list of accomplishments; they despise him for it, and they blame Israel for America’s involvement in this current war with Iran.
Throughout all of this, God is taking note, and you can be sure that blessings and curses will follow how the world treats Israel and the Jewish people (Matthew 25:31-46). Israel is not perfect—no nation is—but God still commands us to comfort His chosen people (Isaiah 40:1). God also promises to judge all those who come against them.
While all eyes are on the Middle East, wondering if this war with Iran will come to some sort of peace agreement or resume, we need to remember that allowing the Iranian regime—that cries “death to Israel” and “death to America—to continue unchecked without any intervention is naive, to say the least. It’s living in a fantasy world, and it’s national suicide.
When your enemy has spent almost 50 years calling for your death and destruction while spending billions trying to achieve that, you had better listen to them. The United States and Israel are doing the world a favor by confronting this demonic regime while there is still time.
I’m calling on believers around the world to lift this up in prayer. If we don’t, who will? In Psalm 122:6-7, we read, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” There is a promise of blessing for those who stand with Israel and intercede for them.
Thank you, President Trump, for standing with Israel. We should call on all leaders around the world to do the same.

China presses Iran in secret talks as Trump gets dramatic assurances
Three diplomatic sources from the region say China is involved behind the scenes in the contacts between Iran and the US, and is trying, among other things, to pressure the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to soften their position. Trump is willing to grant a brief extension of just a few days, sources in Washington say, but recent developments indicate even those few days could drag on.
by Danny Zaken Published on 04-22-2026 22:40 Last modified: 04-23-2026 00:01
Three diplomatic sources from the region say China is quietly involved in the contacts between Iran and the US, including efforts to persuade commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to show greater flexibility.
According to those sources, China warned that if the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz continues, it will expand its search for alternative sources of oil and gas and may even suspend the cooperation agreement it signed with Iran. At the same time, China is warning Iran's leadership not to reach a deal that would allow the Americans a foothold in Iran's oil industry.
That concern stems from an Iranian proposal delivered to the US even before the war, under which American companies would enter Iran's oil sector, rehabilitate and develop it, and earn substantial returns. Israel Hayom has reported that the proposal also resurfaced in contacts over the past few weeks. The Iranians are conditioning the entry of American companies on the release of frozen funds and the lifting of sanctions.
A ceasefire extension
In the meantime, US President Donald Trump announced a de facto extension of the ceasefire. We have learned that this happened after Pakistan's army chief, Gen. Asim Munir, assured him that he would persuade Revolutionary Guard commanders to accept the basic conditions the US is demanding as a prerequisite for entering negotiations. According to the diplomatic sources, Trump is prepared to allow a short extension of a few days, people in Washington say, but developments indicate that even a few days could stretch longer.
According to diplomatic sources from the region, the main obstacle to renewing the talks is the refusal of Revolutionary Guard commanders, particularly Ahmad Vahidi, to compromise on the issue of enriched uranium and enrichment itself. The senior political figures conducting the negotiations, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, are prepared to reach understandings on halting enrichment for a limited period and transferring the enriched uranium, which they say was buried at Fordo in Israeli Air Force and US strikes, to a third party.
Vahidi believes closing the Strait of Hormuz will eventually force the Americans to give ground on that issue, or at least compromise more. According to reports from Iran, he is the only person linking Mojtaba Khamenei with other levels of the leadership, assuming Mojtaba is in fact still alive and functioning.
The results of the blockade on Iran
Those internal disagreements were what Trump appeared to be referring to in his statements over the past 24 hours. At this stage, it is unclear what the reports claiming negotiations will resume on Friday are based on, since Vahidi has shown no signs of softening, despite the worsening state of the economy and the rapid depletion of Iran's treasury. According to internal Iranian assessments, it will be enough to pay salaries for only a few more weeks. The Revolutionary Guards have their own funds, but the halt in oil exports is draining those reserves quickly as well.
Miad Maleki, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former senior sanctions strategist at the US Treasury Department, said at an Iran International conference in Washington that Iran has threatened for decades to close the Strait of Hormuz, but never prepared its economy for the consequences, including a naval blockade.
He said the answer is becoming clearer as the war, the blockade, the currency crisis and the damage to key export sectors have put pressure on Iran faster than on its rivals. While the disruptions in Hormuz created serious risks for global energy markets, Maleki argued that Iran's own economic exposure to the waterway has made Tehran more vulnerable than the countries it was trying to pressure.
"The clock is ticking much faster on Iran's economic side than on the American side," Maleki said. "But we know historically that the Iranian regime does not really care how much Iranians are starving or coping with severe economic hardship."
Jason Brodsky, a senior American strategist, said at the conference that Trump was probably willing to withstand pressure for longer than many expected because he is in his second term and focused on his legacy. He argued that Washington had achieved through force what diplomacy alone had failed to achieve, including pushing Tehran to consider, according to the reports, suspending uranium enrichment. "President Trump is willing to keep this going much longer than most people expect," Brodsky said. "He is prepared to take that risk because he is now at the legacy-building stage."
The US Treasury Department, together with the War Department, is planning to intensify the blockade by taking control of Iran's "shadow fleet," several dozen tankers that transfer Iranian oil to other vessels in the middle of the Indian Ocean. As of now, the Americans have already seized one cargo ship.

UBS Warns Drought Shock Unfolding Across Breadbasket Of America
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
It's not just us sounding the alarm about severe drought conditions hitting America's breadbasket as spring plantings ramp up, or warning about the second- and third-order effects that could push food prices higher later this year.
UBS analysts, led by Jonathan Pingle, told clients on Thursday morning that drought conditions across the US agricultural belt rank among the worst in more than 130 years:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Palmer Drought Severity Index hit its highest level for March since records started in 1895, and March was the third driest month recorded, regardless of time of year, behind only the famed 1930s Dust Bowl": July and August 1934. Water levels on the Mississippi look fine, the seasonal lows are typically in the fall, but river levels in Memphis sit 24 feet below this time last year.
The primary effect of drought conditions on farmland is a direct hit to production: reduced soil moisture, weaker germination, lower yields, poorer crop quality, reduced pasture and forage, and greater stress on the nation's cattle herd (already seen with soaring beef prices).
USDA says drought can slash planted or harvested acreage, reduce livestock productivity, and raise feed and irrigation costs; it can also reduce crop yields and quality, with some perennial crops taking years to recover.
Then the third-order effects emerge: lower farm output and higher production costs (diesel and fertilizer), which can be transmitted through food supply chains into higher retail food prices, tighter supplies for processors, and pressure on food security.
Pingle continued:
Drought severity sees much of the country; April very warm The USDA Weekly Weather and Crop Report highlights the unusual warmth during the April employment report survey reference period, which should be on net supportive of the data this month, and potentially postpone pull forward from March until May or June. The pay period including the 12th of the month is the payroll survey point and the week including the 12th of the month is the survey reference for the household survey, where the unemployment rate is estimated. In figure 4 below we show the deviation from normal temperature, and the populated east saw very warm weather highs in Concordia, KS (91°F), and Lincoln, NE (90°F). Warmth covered much of the Midwest on April 14, when daily-record highs soared to 88°F in Des Moines, IA, and Cape Girardeau, MO. By mid-week, some of the earliest 90-degree heat on record affected the middle Atlantic States. With a high of 90°F on April 15, Georgetown, DE, set a record for its earliest-ever high of 90°F or greater (previously, 94°F on April 17, 2002). Wilmington, DE (90°F on April 15), experienced its second-earliest 90-degree reading, behind only April 10, 2013. Similarly, Atlantic City, NJ (90°F on April 15) tied 1967 for its second-earliest 90-degree temperature, behind April 7, 2010," said the report.
"However, extremely dry conditions persisted Plains, with cascading impacts on rangeland, pastures, and winter wheat. Notably, jointing wheat in eastern Colorado, western Kansas, and southwestern Nebraska that has been greatly stressed by persistent dryness and periods of record-setting warmth experienced another setback at week's end, when hard freezes occurred. Drought also continued to worsen in much of the South, particularly across the southern Atlantic States," said the report.
Worth watching, the drought could lead to supply pressure and price pressure from the agricultural sector, on top of other pressures of concern at the moment. Last week, the USDA wrote in the Weekly Weather and Crop Report "Most immediately, portions of the South had little moisture for pastures, winter grains, and the germination and establishment of spring-sown crops. Despite patchy precipitation on the Plains, a significant portion of the winter wheat crop continued to exhibit drought stress, with the crop heading ahead of schedule as far north as Oklahoma. By April 12, roughly one-half of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition in Texas (54 percent), Oklahoma (48 percent), Nebraska (47 percent), and Colorado (44 percent)."

Patriots Of The World, Unite! Globalists Are At War With Western Civilization, Those Liars Betray Us All - They Are Our Enemies
By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline
Irish farmers and truckers are blocking major thoroughfares as part of growing protests against their government’s mass immigration policies, “green energy” regulations, and “climate change” taxes. Miles-long convoys of German drivers have blockaded the streets surrounding Chancellor Merz’s residence in Berlin to demand his removal from office. In Manchester thousands of patriotic Brits continue to take to the streets with a sea of white flags bearing red crosses — Saint George’s Cross, the national flag of England.
Across Europe, similar protests against mass immigration, costly bureaucratic regulations, and economically suicidal energy policies pop up without much warning and quickly take over national highways and city streets. One of the common and visually striking features of these protests is the multitude of national flags. From one set of eyes staring at the array of protesters waving their country’s flags in the air, the scene looks like a never-ending quilt of unbridled patriotism.
For the most part, European and North American corporate newsrooms refuse to cover these newsworthy protests. Their concerted efforts to hide what is happening across the West stand in contrast to the ways they actively promote small gatherings of NGO-funded provocateurs pushing globalism’s favorite pet projects: calling white people “racist,” supporting taxpayer-funded abortion, threatening to murder “populists,” calling for the end of private property, demanding amnesty for illegal aliens, and equating the use of hydrocarbon fuels to genocide.
When the Soros family or other globalist billionaires pay rioters to take to the streets, corporate newsrooms (often owned, directly or indirectly, by the same billionaires paying for the street theater) cover the anti-Western mayhem as if globalist temper tantrums were exotic breaking news (when, in reality, Western citizens are keenly aware that globalists excel at whining, breaking things, trespassing, stealing, and assaulting people). When pro-illegal immigration crowds show up to burn the national flags of Great Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, news cameras catch the action. When those same throngs of foreigners wave the flags of their home countries, news cameras record the scene as if it were some righteous and historic fight for “diversity” and “multiculturalism.” When the peoples of Europe whose ancestors have lived on the continent for several thousand years wave the flags of their political states, however, “reporters” pretend that the assembly of citizens is doing nothing but “promoting hate.”
What an interesting time to be alive. For all of human history, when a group of foreigners occupied the territorial home of another people and waved the emblems of their foreign states in the faces of the natives, we recognized that event as an “invasion.” Today, Western governments — stewing in the poisons of globalism and advancing a religion of self-immolation — treat invaders as citizens and citizens as nuisances. Across Europe, North America, and Australasia, globalist governments have lowered their drawbridges for outsiders while throwing insiders into the moats. It is easy to imagine French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, or European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hiding in medieval castle keeps while instructing self-loathing guards to fire arrows only at the people waving French, British, or European flags. How else would one expect European “leaders” to behave when European governments allow foreigners to rape and murder citizens while arresting citizens who object to being raped and murdered? More and more citizens are recognizing the total disregard that globalist governments have for their safety.
This “awakening” that is happening throughout the West — wherein ordinary citizens have begun to rebel against their governments’ suicidal policies — is picking up steam. It seems to reflect a social consciousness that is increasingly aware that home governments have long been behaving as enemies. “Enemy” is a strong word reserved for those who oppose us with great hostility or malice. Generally, “enemies” lie on the other side of a country’s borders or across entire oceans. But when Western governments invite mortal enemies inside their nations’ borders, those governments aid and abet the very people who wish us harm. Traditionally, we call government officeholders who betray citizens “traitors.” Traitors, of course, are enemies, too.
Globalism, by design, works to destroy national borders. Its proponents pursue this goal through increasingly overt ways. between most countries. Originally touted as a way to allow the citizens of Europea In Europe, the Schengen treaties and rules incorporated into European Union law have eliminated internal border controls nations to travel freely throughout the continent, it was always a mass migration weapon that has enabled globalists to flood the discrete nations of Europe with foreigners from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In North America, the United Nations and globalist-funded NGOs spend billions of dollars each year in assisting migrants from South and Central America to travel through Mexico and flood the United States. In both Europe and North America, the same wealthy, powerful globalists pursue one goal: to replace native citizens with so many foreign peoples that it becomes impossible for any nation to maintain a distinct identity.
Globalists are internationalists. They seek to create a new world order with global government, international agencies, and international law. One way to accomplish these objectives is to erase national borders and to invite an international population to resettle inside a formerly sovereign nation. By doing so, both foreign allegiances and international laws are injected into the domestic governing system, whether the native population desires that result or not.
Just as the devil is the father of lies, globalism is the philosophy of liars. Those liars call illegal immigrants “asylum seekers.” They call foreigners who are financially dependent on government welfare “contributors,” “taxpayers,” and “economic boons.” They call citizens who wish to enforce their country’s borders and protect their country’s culture “racists,” “bigots,” “fascists,” “Nazis,” and “xenophobes” (as if foreigners are known for flocking to racist, bigoted, fascist lands filled with Nazis who discriminate against outsiders). Globalist liars pretend that borders are antiquated relics of “colonialism” and “imperialism,” even though it is foreigners who are colonizing nations by building little ethnic empires that refuse to assimilate.
At some point, the people being slowly conquered through the one-two punch of “open borders” and “mass migration” (or what we might call “globalist-assisted national suicide”) were going to look around and realize that the countries they once knew are quickly disappearing. If current trends continue, the ten largest cities in the United Kingdom will have Muslim majorities within the next few decades. Similar trends are completely upending the demographics and cultures of France, Germany, Spain, and every other European nation that traded sovereignty for the Trojan Horse of the Schengen Agreement.
In the United States, Minnesota and Maine have Somali enclaves that have become so politically powerful that Minneapolis Mayor (and Democrat Party globalist) Jacob Frey delivered parts of his victory speech last November in the Somali tongue. While globalist liars demonize Americans as “colonizers,” Somalis (with the help of their globalist patrons and Minnesota Democrats’ fondness for welfare fraud) have actually colonized what once was one of the “whitest” regions of the nation. Whenever illegal aliens commit crimes in the United States, globalist prosecutors sweep those crimes under the rug, globalist newsrooms pretend they never happened, and globalist politicians repeat ad nauseam, “Diversity is our strength.”
“Diversity” can be a strength. It is nice to have a diverse collection of weapons when under attack. A diverse collection of experts is helpful when designing architectural marvels, such as giant walls. It is not likely, however, that many people behind a castle’s gates have ever looked at an approaching army and concluded, “We won’t survive without more diversity.” People who are interested in protecting their civilizations do not invite other civilizations to take over their castles.
Globalists, however, are at war with Western civilization. Those liars betray us all. They are our enemies.

“Like a Swarm of Bees”: Ancient Biblical Warning Plays Out on Streets of Southern Israel
Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
Israel News April 19, 2026 4 min read
Thousands of bees engulfed the commercial center of Netivot this week, sending residents scrambling and shutting down businesses as massive swarms blanketed streets, parked vehicles, storefronts, and residential balconies, bringing the southern city to a standstill.
Footage of the event spread rapidly across Israeli social media, showing dense clouds of insects hovering over the shopping complex while stunned residents watched from a distance. The municipality issued urgent warnings to residents and store owners to keep windows and doors sealed and instructed the public to stay away from affected areas until professional teams could address the situation. Reports confirmed the swarms spread into residential neighborhoods throughout the city, appearing on balconies and open spaces across Netivot.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, with thousands of insects descending on the city simultaneously. Authorities moved quickly to contain public alarm, with relevant municipal teams dispatched to manage the situation.
Experts explained that large swarms of this kind are a sign of a healthy, expanding bee population. When colonies grow rapidly during peak nectar seasons, they produce additional queens and divide, triggering highly visible swarming events across populated areas. Israel’s geography amplifies the phenomenon: the country sits along a major migratory corridor for pollinators moving between Africa, Europe and Asia. Dense agriculture — citrus groves, wildflowers, irrigated farmland — creates ideal feeding conditions that can support unusually large bee populations at certain times of year. Specialists also noted that swarming bees are typically focused on protecting their queen and finding a new nesting site, making them far less aggressive than bees defending an established hive.
Bees and honey appear more than 60 times in the Bible, woven through its narratives as symbols of divine blessing, military threat, wisdom, and providence. The dual nature of the bee — producer of the sweetest substance in the ancient world, yet capable of swarming in overwhelming numbers — made it a uniquely powerful image for the biblical writers.
The most direct parallel to what unfolded in Netivot this week comes from Devarim (Deuteronomy): “And the Amorites who dwell in that mountain came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down.” (Deuteronomy 1:44). The bee swarm here describes the terrifying, disorienting experience of being overwhelmed by a relentless enemy on all sides, with no single point of attack to defend against. The Sages understood this as a picture of total encirclement. Tehillim (Psalms) returns to the same image: “They surrounded me like bees; they were extinguished like a fire of thorns.” (Psalm 118:12). The enemy swarms, but the swarm does not last.
Isaiah takes the bee imagery in a chilling, different direction. In Isaiah 7:18, God “hisses” — the Hebrew
שָׁרַק, sharák, meaning to whistle or signal — for the bee that is in Assyria. The bee is summoned and not acting on its own instinct. It is being called by God as an instrument of judgment. The bee in this verse is a divine agent, dispatched with purpose.In Judges 14, Samson kills a lion with his bare hands on the road to Timna. When he returns days later, he finds that a swarm of bees has made a hive inside the lion’s carcass and filled it with honey. He eats the honey and brings some to his parents. From this he fashions the most famous riddle in the Bible: “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” (Judges 14:14).
The Sages read Samson’s honey as a picture of divine irony operating at the highest level. The lion — the most fearsome predator, the embodiment of death and violence — becomes the vessel for sweetness. Destruction is transformed into nourishment. The very source of threat becomes the source of blessing. This is not an accident of nature. It is a statement about how God operates in history: that He does not merely overcome evil, He repurposes it. Oz — strength — becomes matok — sweetness. The carcass of the enemy feeds the warrior of Israel.
The image of swarms of stinging bees seems especially poignant in light of Israel’s ongoing war. Israel is being swarmed. Swarms of Hamas terrorists launched the most savage attack on Jewish civilians since the Holocaust on October 7th, and Israel has been fighting a multi-front war ever since. The Houthis fire “swarms” of missiles from Yemen. Hezbollah fired tens of thousands of rockets from Lebanon before the IDF degraded their capacity. Iran, like the queen bee, funds, arms and directs the entire network. The image from Deuteronomy — enemies coming “like bees,” from every direction, relentlessly, is a description that fits with uncomfortable precision.
But the Bible (Psalm 118:12) teaches Israel not to despair. The enemies surround like bees — and then they are extinguished like burning thorns. The fire burns fast and hot, and then it is gone. The swarm is real, but it is not the final word.
Israel has spent 18 months fighting, and the destruction has been immense. But the Sages, reading Samson’s story, would recognize the pattern: out of the lion’s carcass comes honey. What looks to the world like devastation, God can transform into the source of something unexpected and sweet. In the wake of Iranian attacks on Arab countries as well as Israel, alliances that seemed impossible have quietly solidified. Israel has emerged as the strongest ally of the US, with the IAF flying missions alongside the American Air Force.
Dave Bender, an AP award-winning journalist, photographer, and pro beekeeper in Northern Israel, posted positive thoughts about the swarms:
“Swarm season has really kicked off this year! But don’t get scared – get smart, and get happy that they are thriving.” Bender posted on Facebook. “In a slo-mo clip, note that they’re all flapping their wings like crazy; this is known as ‘fanning,’ which serves to spread their queen’s pheromone – sort of a scent lighthouse telling their tribe, ‘queenie’s in here, come join us!’.
“This is an annual early spring phenomenon, and you can expect to see this all around over the next few weeks,” Bender wrote. “In reality – it’s really calming and centering (like I said about the frequency of the buzzing), when you “get” that they’re not hostile – unless you start swatting and flapping your arms in terror – that’ll for sure rile them up. If you find yourself “in the cloud,” just calmly walk away.”
Bender cited a verse in Pslams to describe his reaction to the buzzing
“As we say in Hebrew: “
מַה גָּדְלוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ה’ מְאֹד עָמְקוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ” “How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.” (Psalm 92:5)”https://israel365news.com/417546/like-a-swarm-of-bees-ancient-biblical-warning-plays-out-on

Air Canada scraps key US routes as fuel costs surge amid Iran war
Service to New York City’s JFK and Salt Lake City will be paused for months as the airline cites a sharp spike in jet fuel costs
By Bonny Chu FOX Business
Air Canada announced on Friday that the airline is suspending select U.S.-bound flights as jet fuel prices continue to skyrocket in the wake of the Iran war.
The cuts, set to take effect this summer and last at least five months, will impact all service to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City and the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) in Utah, the airline said.
"As we regularly do, we monitor and review our network to ensure that routes are meeting profitability targets," the air carrier said in a statement.
"Jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the Iran conflict, affecting some lower profitability routes and flights which now are no longer economically feasible. Schedule adjustments including some frequency reductions are being made in response."
DELTA, SOUTHWEST HIKE CHECKED BAGS AS AIRLINES FACE SURGING FUEL COSTS
Affected customers will be contacted with alternative travel options, the Canadian carrier said.
The airline specified that JFK will not see service from June 1 through Oct. 25, 2026, from its two hubs in Montreal and Toronto.
The move could reflect a consolidation strategy, as routes to nearby Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) airports remain unaffected, according to the release.
Air Canada operates more heavily out of those two airports than JFK, its website shows, with local outlet CTV News reporting roughly 34 daily departures from across Canada.
Flights to Salt Lake City, typically served only from Toronto Pearson (YYZ), will be suspended beginning June 30, with service expected to resume in 2027, creating a roughly six-month gap.
The airline also said two domestic routes and one international service were affected.
Routes between Vancouver and Fort McMurray will be suspended on May 28, while service between Toronto and Yellowknife will be halted on Aug. 30.
Both Fort McMurray and Yellowknife, which are considered lower-volume markets, were not given a resumption date.
The airline was also planning to launch service between Montreal and Guadalajara, Mexico, which has now been indefinitely suspended.
Air Canada said the changes represent only a small portion of its global operations, affecting about 1% of its total annual flying capacity for 2026.
Jet fuel prices increased to $3.79 on Friday, more than a 50% increase since the day before the Iran war broke out on Feb 27, according to Airlines for America.

Several U.S. airlines have also adopted new cost-cutting measures to offset rising jet fuel prices, with JetBlue, Southwest, American and United Airlines increasing checked bag fees.

Over 50,000 home deals collapse in weeks as panicked buyers pull out in droves in grim omen for US economy
By MARTHA WILLIAMS, US REAL ESTATE & CONSUMER REPORTER
Updated: 06:24 EDT, 23 April 2026
Tens of thousands of US home sales are falling apart after buyers have already signed contracts - a stark sign that confidence in the housing market is starting to crack.
Nearly 53,000 purchase agreements were scrapped in March alone, according to new data from Redfin.
That means 13.4 percent of all homes that went under contract failed to make it to closing - one of the highest March cancellation rates on record outside the chaos of early 2020.
The figures point to a growing sense of unease among buyers, many of whom are backing out after initially committing.
Housing costs remain relentlessly high, and a fresh rise in mortgage rates in March has only added to the financial strain.
'Buyers are getting cold feet,' said Patricia Ammann, a Redfin Premier agent in Arlington, VA.
'There have been layoffs, ups and downs in the market and geopolitical turmoil–and on top of all that, housing costs are still high. Because buyers are considering committing to spending so much money in uncertain times, they're extremely picky, which is leading some of them to back out before a deal closes.'
For some would-be homeowners, the reality of monthly payments, closing costs and long-term obligations becomes clearer after going under contract, prompting second thoughts.
At the same time, broader economic jitters - fueled by market volatility and geopolitical tensions amidst the Iran war - are making large financial decisions feel riskier than usual.
The current market dynamic is also giving buyers more freedom to walk away. With roughly 600,000 more sellers than buyers nationwide, house hunters hold a rare advantage.
That imbalance allows them to negotiate more favorable terms and include contingencies that make it easier to exit deals if issues arise.
In many cases, cancellations are not driven by major defects but by having more choice.
For example, if a better property comes along, or if buyers simply reconsider their decision in an uncertain climate.
The trend is most pronounced in cities where buyers have the widest selection.
In San Antonio, TX, nearly one in five contracts fell through in March, the highest share among major US metros, with Orlando, FL; Riverside, CA; Atlanta, GA; and Las Vegas, NV, showing similarly elevated rates.
In these markets, abundant inventory means buyers can afford to be selective and, if necessary, start over without much difficulty.
By contrast, cancellations are far less common in tighter markets such as Nassau County, NY, along with Montgomery County, PA, and Milwaukee, WI, where limited supply keeps pressure on buyers to follow through once they reach an agreement.
Some regions are seeing sharper shifts than others. Riverside and Atlanta posted some of the biggest increases in cancellation rates compared with a year ago, show just how quickly conditions can change in buyer-heavy markets.
Meanwhile, places like Miami, FL, Cleveland, OH, and Fort Worth, TX, have seen cancellations ease slightly - a reminder that the trend is not uniform nationwide.
The data shows that, what would typically be a more stable spring selling season is instead marked by caution and reconsideration.
Buyers are no longer rushing to close deals, they are weighing their options more carefully, and often deciding that walking away is the safer move.
For sellers, that means uncertainty lingers even after a contract is signed, as the path from agreement to closing has become far less predictable.

FLASH: RUSSIA SAYS BEING ATTACKED BY DRONES FLYING-IN FROM FINLAND AND BALTIC STATES; May Invoke UN Charter, Article 51 - SELF DEFENSE
Hal Turner World April 16, 2026 Hits: 13102
Sergey Shoigu stated that drone strikes on Russian territory are being recorded via Finland and the Baltic states, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure.
"In this context, Article 51 of the UN Charter on the right to self-defense may be invoked."
Hal Turner Analysis
Finland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are shown on the map above with their country names circled in red.
As a result of Drone attacks launched against Russia the Russian government is now openly saying they may choose to ATTACK Finland and the Baltic states in self defense. All of them are NATO members.
Instead of attacking those countries, I have to wonder: (Am I still allowed to wonder?) Wouldn't it be far easier, quicker, and more effective, for Russia to send military units discreetly into those countries with Orders to KILL the people giving the orders to send those drones?
It doesn't matter who it is - Russia could just kill them.
Then Russia could announce they killed them, and say why - showing proof.
This would, I think, dissuade anyone ELSE from making the same bad decisions as the dead folks made, and would likely (in my view) solve the problem without having to smash and destroy entire countries.
Moreover, The United States and Israel have just set the precedent for this, by intentionally targeting and deliberately killing, members of Iran's sitting government.
If it "ok" for the US and Israel to target and kill Iranian government officials, it seems perfectly logical to me that Russia can now target and kill the officials inside Finland and the Baltic States, without fear of world condemnation or even NATO Article 5.

Mossad Chief Declares Mission In Iran Not Over Until Regime Falls
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
A two-week Iran-US-Israel ceasefire is still in effect despite the collapse of last weekend's Islamabad talks, where the big hang up was fierce disagreement over Iran's nuclear development. The clock is ticking amid efforts to hold more direct talks by the end of this week.
What's unlikely to help things move along is a fresh statement from Mossad Director David Barnea. While speaking at a Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony in Jerusalem on Tuesday, he boasted that and that the fight is not over until there's regime collapse or overthrow.Mossad assets have been operating from the heart of Tehran
He said of Israel's premier intelligence agency that it operated "in the heart of Tehran" during the recent US-Israeli campaign against Iran, and further that "We brought precise intelligence to the Air Force, and we hit missiles that threatened Israel."
"But our mission has yet to be completed," the spy chief added. "We didn’t think that this mission would be completed immediately with the end of the battles. But we planned intensively for our campaign to continue and achieve results even in the period after the strikes in Tehran."
Mossad's involvement in counter-Iran action, he continued, will end "only when this radical regime is replaced."
Barnea made clear that regime change in Iran "is our mission. We will not stand by, watching, in the face of another existential threat."
Ironically, Israeli media is still trying to pour cold water on persistent reporting of an Israeli role in convincing the White House to unleash the massive bombing campaign on Iran:
Accordingly, the Mossad has rejected allegations that it has failed or that it tried to "sucker" the US into believing in delusions of regime change.
Barnea's public statement was the latest indication that he still believes regime change is possible, but that the war only helped set initial, more favorable conditions for such a change, and that significant additional work will be needed going forward.
Trump himself has at times suggested the aim is regime change, and at others has stated the opposite. But it does seem he actually believed Iranian state institutions would be quickly overthrown in some kind of brief Venezuela-style operation.
Prior reports out of Israel have painted a more realistic picture, however, stating that regime change in Iran - a country of over 90 million people and long-standing institutions - would be extremely difficult if not nearly impossible. And this is especially without ground forces, given air power is limited and does not work for this.

US wars spanning from Vietnam to Afghanistan have long demonstrated that aerial bombardment, even if massive, only goes so far. And even when there are 'boots on the ground' and nation-building, US efforts can be quickly unraveled, as the Taliban's reascendancy in Kabul in 2021 demonstrates.

Nebraska police fatally shoot woman seen slashing toddler she kidnapped from Walmart
By Zoe Hussain
Published April 14, 2026, 11:42 p.m. ET
Nebraska police fatally shot a woman who slashed a toddler after leading the child out of a Walmart at knifepoint in an alleged kidnapping, according to cops and body-worn camera images.
Cops responded to a Walmart in Omaha just after 9:10 a.m. for reports of a woman armed with a “large kitchen knife” who had a young child, according to the Omaha Police Department.
Surveillance footage caught the woman, later identified as 31-year-old Noemi Guzman, shoplifting the knife from the store and approaching a 3-year-old boy and his guardian in an aisle, police said.
Guzman was seen brandishing the knife and forcing the female shopper to walk ahead of the cart as the child remained inside it. She then terrifyingly led them through the store and into the parking lot, cops added.
The knife-wielding woman “took possession of the child, essentially kidnapping the child,” Deputy Chief Scott Gray said at a press conference.
A two-officer patrol unit arrived and discovered Guzman in the parking lot, standing by the shopping cart with the young child inside.
Guzman continued to make threats with the knife and — after ignoring several pleas from officers to drop the weapon — slashed the boy, authorities said.
Harrowing images from body camera footage captured Guzman, who had dyed red hair, a purple tank top, and plaid pants, holding the large knife up near the boy’s face as a cop drew their gun.
The two officers fired their weapons and struck Guzman, as the toddler’s guardian and a bystander immediately removed him from the cart and provided medical aid.
Lifesaving measures were given to Guzman, but she died at the scene, police said.
The child was being treated at a hospital for a large laceration across the left side of his face and on his hand. He is expected to survive.
“The responding officers acted with professionalism and direct action to intervene and save a child’s life,” Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said in a statement.
“The community can be reassured in knowing that Omaha police officers stand ready to act with courage and decisiveness in the most serious situations to protect the public,” Schmaderer said.
The Omaha Police Department Officer-Involved Investigations Team will investigate the incident alongside the Nebraska State Patrol, and the Douglas and Sarpy County Sheriff’s Offices.
“The Omaha Police Department offers its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Guzman during this difficult time,” the department said in a statement.

UPDATED 11:09 AM EDT -- CONFIRMED: OIL IN SINGAPORE: $210 PER BARREL TODAY ! ! ! SRI LANKA $286
Hal Turner World April 16, 2026 Hits: 20321
Numerous reports are coming in this morning claiming oil prices in Singapore just went ballistic: $210 per barrel today for actual delivery; not futures, actual oil price!
Endeavoring to verify the precise details. If any of you have further info, please email.
UPDATED 11:09 AM EDT --
On Tuesday, April 14, at the HSBC Global Investment Summit in Hong Kong, CEO Georges Elhedery said something on live Bloomberg television that should have detonated every energy desk on earth. It did not. Because nobody is reading what it actually means.
“The highest I’ve seen, and I’m hoping we don’t see more of that, but the highest I’ve seen is $286 for a barrel of oil that reached Sri Lanka.”
Two hundred and eighty-six dollars. For a single barrel. Delivered. While Brent futures closed at $95.61 on April 16 and CNBC’s chyron still shows “oil near $100.”
Read the transcript carefully. Elhedery laid out the arithmetic: Middle East crude is now $140 to $150 at origin. Red Sea rerouting adds $30 to $40 per barrel in shipping. Insurance has gone from 25 basis points to 5 percent, a twentyfold increase. War insurance has been scrapped entirely, meaning the 5 percent buys you no war coverage at all. Stack those numbers on top of Dated Brent physical at $131.97 on April 9, Oman crude at a record $152.58 in March, and Dubai crude at $157.66 in early April, and you arrive at a poor importing nation paying $286 to keep the lights on.
This is not an oil price spike. This is the death of benchmark pricing as the world has known it since 1988.
For 38 years, Brent and WTI futures have functioned as the nervous system of global oil. Every central bank inflation model, every airline fuel hedge, every sovereign budget in every importing nation, every Fed rate decision, anchors itself to these two numbers flickering on a Bloomberg terminal. The entire post-1973 architecture assumed that paper price and physical price converge within a narrow band, that arbitrage closes the gap, that the benchmark tells the truth.
On April 14, HSBC’s CEO told the world, in public, that the paper price is now off by nearly 200 percent from the physical price for the countries that can least afford the difference. A $95 Brent headline and a $286 delivered barrel are not the same commodity anymore. They are two different markets, and the poor are trading in the real one.
This is why Sri Lanka, which has no domestic production and imports 100 percent of its fuel, turned simultaneously to Russia, India, and China in the first weeks of April. President Dissanayake publicly thanked all three on April 8. India delivered 38,000 metric tonnes on March 28. Sinopec is running sustained shipments. Russia has formalized supply arrangements despite US sanctions. Colombo, a capital of 1.7 million people in a country still recovering from the 2022 sovereign default, has accidentally become the first live demonstration of what post-dollar, post-Brent, multipolar energy sourcing looks like in practice. Not in a think tank paper. In actual cargoes arriving at actual ports.
Every central bank pricing inflation off Brent is flying blind. Every airline hedged on WTI is mispriced. Every AI data center operator who modeled a 2030 power buildout on pre-war energy assumptions just watched the assumption disintegrate. Goldman’s 1,350 TWh data-center forecast assumed a world where a $95 Brent headline means $95 oil arriving at the meter. That world ended on February 28.
The $286 barrel did not reach Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka reached the future first. Everyone else is still reading yesterday’s screen.

Airline drops Los Angeles routes as rising fuel prices across California force major schedule cuts
By Daniel Farr Published April 15, 2026, 7:52 p.m. ET
A low-cost transatlantic carrier is hitting the brakes on Los Angeles service, citing soaring fuel prices that are shaking the aviation industry.
Norse Atlantic Airways has scrapped all flights from LAX for the upcoming summer season, a move tied to rising jet fuel costs linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
The airline confirmed to KTLA it has removed routes connecting LAX to major European hubs, including London, Gatwick, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Rome Fiumicino.
Passengers began sounding the alarm online after receiving sudden cancellation notices.
One traveler shared an email to Yahoo stating: “We regret to inform you that your flight from Los Angeles to London on June 28, 2026, has been canceled. The disruption is caused by an extraordinary surge in oil prices, followed by unpredictable fuel supply constraints across the aviation industry beyond our control. As a result, we are unable to operate this route in a responsible and sustainable manner.”
The airline’s decision to eliminate all LAX departures for the summer schedule, signaling a major retreat from the West Coast market.
Industry outlet AviacionOnline noted Norse is shifting its focus to more stable routes, concentrating on East Coast operations such as JFK (New York) and MCO (Orlando), along with long-haul flights to Bangkok and Cape Town, destinations that have held up better amid cost pressures.
The abrupt exit leaves a gap in the budget travel space in Southern California, as United and Delta have both warned of higher costs for travelers in high-demand hubs like Los Angeles.
The development echoes earlier concerns about the airline’s reliability. Months ago, a traveler weighing a Norse booking for a June trip was advised against it due to added fees and the risk of cancellations.
That decision paid off, he opted for British Airways and is now avoiding the scramble for replacement flights as prices surge.
For those impacted, Norse is offering three options: rebooking on a different date, a travel credit worth the full ticket price plus 25%, or a full refund.
Given the uncertainty surrounding smaller carriers in the current climate, taking the refund may be the safest bet.

~ June 15, All The Oil Stored Above-Ground Will Be Used-up
Hal Turner World April 14, 2026 Hits: 18637
On or about June 15, 2026, all the oil reserves, stored in tanks above ground, will be USED-UP, globally. Commerce will all but cease.
The Chart below from NinePoint Partners via Kpler shows all the oil storage tanks above-ground and on-the-ocean, planet-wide.
With the strait of Hormuz closed, about twenty percent (~20%) of the world's DAILY needs, are no longer being brought to market. That's two barrels of every ten barrels needed, NOT being available.
The world has a significant amount of oil stored in tanks and caverns, plus what is already aboard ships and traveling, to smooth-over disruptions in normal oil flow.
Since the Strait of Hormuz was closed by military conflict on February 28 of this year, the world has had to begin using those stored oil reserves because of this disruption to normal oil flow.
The chart below shows the remaining stored oil, and other oil already aboard ships, worldwide. With the preset draw-down of oil to meet daily needs, known as de-stocking, the chart shows that all the reserve oil will be used-up by about June 15 of this year - week #26 of the year. The RED LINE shows how things will go:
As shown above, global stored reserves are being destocked at about 8 Million Barrels per day. The yellow arrow along the red line shows where we are, right now, and what is to come.
By about June 15, all the stored all will have been destocked (used-up). There won't be any left.
Of course, there is still the eighty percent of regular oil production still happening. But that 80% is two barrels out of every ten barrels less than what is needed everyday. So a very big chunk of people and industries that rely upon oil, aren't going to be getting any, or aren't going to be getting enough to meet the normal, typical needs of each day.
Those who need it most, will have to PAY larger and larger fees to get it. Those who cannot pay, will STEAL IT.
All over Europe and now, here in the USA, reports are flooding-in that cars-owners are coming out to go to work, and finding holes have been drilled in their gas tanks overnight, and all their gasoline has been STOLEN!
The law of supply-and-demand kicks-in and that means prices will skyrocket upwards at rates the world has never seen before. As those prices increase, the production of certain products will have to simply halt because the products cannot support price increases necessary. People just won't buy gasoline at $20 a gallon; they can't afford it. Truckers just won't buy Diesel fuel at $25 a gallon, they can't afford it.
Manufacturers won't call truckers for shipping because no one will buy the trinkets or other products they intend to ship, if those products need to pay for the Diesel fuel necessary to bring them to market. Production of many, many, things, will simply stop. The workers who make those things: Laid off.
Supermarkets require truckloads of food to re-stock shelves every day. The prices of the food those trucks carry, will go up, and up, and up because the Diesel fuel the trucks run on will go up, and up, and up.
Those who can still afford the prices will buy food; those who cannot, will STEAL IT. Videos are coming in from all over the USA showing people stealing entire shopping carts worth of food, and drawing GUNS on Security Guards who try to stop them.
Worse, other videos are coming in showing customers who PAID, being robbed-at-gunpoint of their shopping cart contents outside the supermarkets as they try to get their food back to their cars in the parking lots.
Expect Food riots.
Government does NOT have any stored food for the general public; they only stock up for their own government bunkers. So there can't be any help from government because they don't have food stored for their own people.
Moreover, governments at the state and federal level, are mostly broke; they can't even give money to people to pay the higher costs of food.
There have been books written that show any civil society is only "Nine meals away from anarchy." When human beings miss three meals a day, times three days (9 meals), they become savages for food. They will - and have - KILLED, to get food.
That is what's coming at us as we approach and reach June 15.
After June 15, if the oil flow is not restored, who knows how bad it will get. People are laughingly suggesting "MAD MAX" bad, after the apocalyptic Hollywood movie series MAD MAX from the 1980's.
I don't know how this is all going to play out. Most normal people think "they'll work it out." But those normal people don't seem to recall the Georgia Guidestones wherein the elite carved into stone, that they want the world to have a population of only X number of people. If I recall, they said 500 Million, but just this morning I saw a number saying 2.6 Billion.
There are already 8.3 Billion people on earth. To reach either of their goals, 6 BILLION to 7.5 BILLION of us, have to die.
It's starting to appear to me that starving us to death is the way they intend to achieve those goals.
So . . . . to those normal folks who think "they'll work it out" . . . . it seems THEY ARE: By starving us to death. Making everything so expensive, we simply can't afford to live.
Get with that reality and prepare.
Buy shelf-stable foods that don't need refrigeration: Rice, pasta, canned meats and vegetables, jarred sauces. Plant gardens to grow food. It's Spring time, now is the time to start planting!
I wish I could tell you there's light at the end of the tunnel we've entered. It just doesn't seem to be.
I hope I'm wrong.
I WANT to be wrong.
I don't think I am.

The Great War on the Bible in America and Elsewhere
by Jack Wellman
· Print · EmailThere’s a war on…but this war is directed against the Word of God where the Bible is increasingly being banned as “hate speech.”
There’s a war on…but this war is directed against the Word of God where the Bible is increasingly being banned as “hate speech” so how long do you think it will be before the Bible is banned in America, or will it ever be? In the course of human history, the Bible has been banned, burned, banished, and forbidden, but this hasn’t stopped the Word of God from going out into the world. In one remote part of the world in Africa, there was so much opposition to the Bible that the Muslims went from house to house trying to find a copy of the Bible, and if they found it, they would not only burn it, but sometimes the person who it was found with, but to those who hold to the precious Word of God, they don’t care. They have such a hunger and thirst for the Word of God that they are willing to risk their life for possessing a Bible.
Hiding God’s Word
There was a group who had only one Bible, but they all wanted to read it, so what did they do? They took the Bible apart and gave each person one book of the Bible (i.e. the Gospel of John). Then, thirty days later, they came back and exchanged their book for another and memorized that one. After a few years, the over dozen men had memorized much of the Bible and could recite it by heart to those who didn’t have a Bible. They had hid God’s Word in their heart. In this way, even if they came and confiscated the Bible, they couldn’t touch their minds which had the rich Word of God in memory. They might remove the physical part (the Bible) but they can’t touch what’s been hidden in a person’s heart. In many nations, the Bible is illegal to own, however they just don’t get it? God’s Word is indestructible.
Forbidden Preaching
When it comes time to preaching the gospel in Canada, there are some Bible verses that this nation now considers hate speech and a pastor can be jailed and fined for preaching it, but this is nothing compared to how other nations are persecuting preachers of the Word. An American evangelist said he was arrested and interrogated about his Christian faith after he was caught on a London sidewalk preaching that homosexuality is a sin, even though the Bible states that it is. There was a Swedish pastor who preached a sermon on the Biblical prohibitions against homosexual behavior and was waiting to see if the Supreme Court of Sweden will send him to jail for six months for doing so. The pastor was charged with violating a Swedish hate speech law that protects homosexuals from “intimidation” and “agitation.”
Attacked for the Word
And sometimes there doesn’t even have to be a target audience for preaching as retired Pastor James McConnell found out. He was still waiting to see if his next sermon will be given from a prison pulpit or not. What was his crime? On May 18, 2014, the 79-year-old pastor was speaking at the church he founded in Belfast, Ireland and simply preached a sermon on 1 Timothy 2:5: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” Pastor McConnell reacted to a pregnant Muslim woman who was converted to Christianity and received 80 lashes and had a death sentence hanging over her head. The pastor was warned about the potential of being arrested for telling the truth that Islam is satanic and is a “doctrine spawned in hell.”
Anti-Preaching Laws
The Canadian government apparently has an ax to grind against biblical preaching. Preaching only about the love of God is okay, but if a preacher mentions specific sins and those who do these sins are in danger of God’s judgment, then it is considered hate speech and the consequences are not just a slap on the wrist. Father Alphonse de Valk, who is Canada’s leading pro-life voice among Catholic clergy, has said that the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal has forbidden evangelical pastor Stephen Boisson from expressing his moral opposition to homosexuality. Boisson was told to apologize to the “human rights” advocate who filed the complaint, and then they threatened him with a $5,000 fine for the “pain and suffering” he caused the man. We could expect this from the tribunals in Stalin’s Soviet Union or in Mao’s China, but in Canada? And perhaps the US is next with such laws.
Biblical Persecution
In the end, the courts ordered Boisson to provide the complainant with a written apology for his letter to the editor, but Ezra Levant, a Jewish-Canadian author and lawyer, said it’s “This is like a Third World jail-house confession — where accused criminals are forced to sign false statements of guilt. ” Levant said, “We don’t even ‘order’ murderers to apologize to their victims’ families because we know that a forced apology is meaningless to them, but not so if their purpose is to degrade Christian pastors and more importantly, the Word of God.
The Future and the Bible
The day is swiftly approaching where mentioning specific sins in the Bible will be seen as a hate crime in America. It is very close right now, so that might be the next step to banning the Bible altogether in the U.S. When or if this will happens, we just don’t know, but there are things in the air that say it may be coming. Already, parts of the Bible have been and are still being removed from the public square because some are “offended by it,” so things like the Ten Commandments have been removed, even in very conservative states such as Oklahoma and Alabama. What is even more tragic is that some ministers, like in the Episcopalian Church, have actually ordained as homosexual ministers, which is contrary to biblical doctrine (Rom 1:18-10, 26-27; 1 Cor 6:9-11).
The Apostle Paul warned of such a day when he wrote that “the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Cor 4:3). Will the Bible ever be banned in America? Perhaps the preaching of it will be someday, and not just from behind the pulpits, but even in the streets. It’s growing more and more difficult to be able to preach the Word of God anywhere because the Word of God afflicts those who reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Summary
Several Canadian pastors and street preachers have faced hate-motivated charges or controversy and been arrested, primarily surrounding anti-LGBTQ2+ comments, despite the fact that these comments were verses from the Bible. Key cases involve accusations of inciting hatred, harassment, and public nuisance, rather than being prosecuted solely for Scripture reading which they actually did. From one Saskatchewan court of appeals, the Bible is now considered hate literature in Canada, even if it is quoted verbatim and in context, specifically if it is used to condemn homosexuality. Sadly, there is a double-standard for the Koran as it has not been labeled as having hate speech, even though it contains verses that demand the death of all who reject Allah and fail to be assimilated into the Islamic faith. Just another double standard, showing people hate the truth and will try to ban it, banish it, or make it illegal. That day may be coming sooner than later. Despite all the attacks on the Bible, “The word of the Lord endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8; 1 Pet 1:24-25), and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
A True Christian
“The word of the Lord endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8).
Conclusion
I pray you have put your trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If that has not happened yet, my friend, you are in real danger of hell fire. And I mean, in immediate danger. You’re one breath, one heartbeat…one accident away from eternity when it will be too late to repent. Today is the best day to believe (2 Cor 6:2) since tomorrow is no guarantee. If Jesus Christ came today, here is your fate (Matt 7:21-23). This is why I plead with you as you read this, repent today…and I mean right now. Put your trust in Jesus Christ. If you do not, you will face God’s judgment after death guaranteed (Heb 9:27) or at Jesus Christ’s appearance (Rev 20:12-15), which could happen at any moment.

China plans to deliver air defense systems to Iran during fragile cease-fire deal: report
By Katherine Donlevy
Published April 11, 2026 Updated April 11, 2026, 8:41 a.m. ET
China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran in the next few weeks, according to a report citing sources with knowledge of US intelligence.
The move would be “provocative,” according to CNN, considering China played a major role in brokering the fragile cease-fire deal between Iran and the US earlier this week.
Beijing is working to route shipments through third countries to hide the backroom trade — which involves shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs, multiple US intelligence sources told CNN.
The weapons — which use heat-seeking guidance to lock onto an aircraft’s engine or exhaust — posed a major threat to the US military during the five-week war, with one nearly taking out a F/A-18 Super Hornet last week.
The F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran last week was targeted by a “handheld shoulder missile, [a] heat-seeking missile,” Trump said Monday, though it’s not clear whether it had been provided by China.
Chinese companies have also continued to sell sanctioned technology to Iran that would help the country build weapons and enhance its navigation systems, the sources alleged.
China, however, denied the claims, with a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington telling CNN, “China has never provided weapons to any party to the conflict; the information in question is untrue.”
“As a responsible major country, China consistently fulfills its international obligations. We urge the U.S. side to refrain from making baseless allegations, maliciously drawing connections, and engaging in sensationalism; we hope that relevant parties will do more to help de-escalate tensions,” the spokesperson said.
The trade wouldn’t be the first time China was accused of supplying Iran with weapons in the recent war.
In February, Beijing was looking to sell CM-302 missiles, which have a range of about 180 miles and are capable of flying low and fast enough to evade a ship’s aerial defenses, though it’s not clear whether that deal went through.
President Trump is expected to visit China in early May for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Iran threatens to attack US Navy ships entering Strait of Hormuz after first American vessels moved through channel
By Katherine Donlevy
Published April 11, 2026 Updated April 11, 2026, 10:48 a.m. ET
Iran threatened to attack any US Navy ships that enter the Strait of Hormuz shortly after American vessels moved through the channel for the first time since the war broke out.
Tehran warned Pakistani mediators that “if the vessel continues to move, it will be targeted within 30 minutes, and the Iranian-American negotiations will suffer,” a Foreign Ministry spokesperson told Khabar Network, according to Fars News Agency.
The warning comes just after reports broke that “multiple” US vessels had crossed the strait for the first time in months in a move that “was not coordinated with Iran.”
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Inflation soars to hottest levels in two years as war in Iran drives gasoline prices higher
By Taylor Herzlich
Published April 10, 2026, 8:46 a.m. ETInflation ramped up in March to the hottest levels since May 2024 as higher energy prices slammed the economy – putting another dent in the Federal Reserve’s path to interest-rate cuts.
The Consumer Price Index rose 3.3% in March over the past 12 months – a sharp rise from 2.4% the previous month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.
Core CPI – which excludes volatile food and energy prices – jumped 2.6% over the year, up from 2.5% in February.
The heated inflation report was largely driven by a massive 21.2% monthly increase in gasoline prices, according to the Labor Department.
It is the first glimpse into how the Middle East conflict is impacting inflation, as Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz – a critical route for 20% of the world’s oil – has created the worst-ever energy supply disruption.
Fears of higher inflation sent consumer confidence tumbling to a record low in April, according to a University of Michigan survey released Friday.
In a bright spot for the economy, the core figure showed a relatively modest increase, indicating that energy prices have yet to leak into the broader economy – but experts are warning that it’s only a matter of weeks before Americans see higher prices on store shelves.
“The transportation costs have already gone up and the input costs that farmers, manufacturers, etc. are dealing with, they’ve already had to spend that money… and that will just flow through the system,” Joe Adamski, managing director of ProcureAbility, a supply chain consultancy, told The Post.
Energy supply shocks from the Iran war will likely hit clothing in about three months, while fast-fashion items will see sharp price increases almost immediately, Adamski said.
Processed foods will grow more expensive within the month, while farm-grown food will jump by this summer and fall, he added. Oil benchmarks saw some long-awaited relief this week as traders hope a two-week ceasefire with Iran and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will hold – but Brent crude is still at $95 a barrel, about 30% higher than prewar levels.
The overall energy sector rose 10.9% in March, and Americans are now shelling out roughly 40% more to fill up their tanks as national average gasoline prices hit $4.15 a gallon, per AAA.
Airline fares jumped 2.7% in March – up 14.9% over the past 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Jet fuel is one of the main costs for most airlines. Many – including Delta, United, Southwest Airlines and JetBlue – have also started hiking their checked bag fees to offset rising fuel costs.
The International Air Transport Association, an airline industry group, warned this week that even if the strait remains open, it would take months for global fuel supplies to stabilize. Grocery prices fell 0.2% in March, while costs for dining out rose 0.2% – but economists are expecting prices at the grocery store to heat up.
Most food in the US is transported by trucks that run on diesel, which hit $5.68 a gallon on Friday. The pricey fuel is also used to power farm equipment, and the blockade of the strait has disrupted fertilizer supplies – raising agricultural costs for farmers.
The shelter index rose 0.3% in March and is up 3% over the year.
The real concern is how long the war will last and whether these price pressures will start to widen out, which could signal a stickier impact on inflation.
“The duration of the war matters as does the extremely important Strait of Hormuz, because if the supply shock is temporary then the economy can weather this storm and the Fed will have an opportunity to lower interest rates by the end of the year,” Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management, said in a note Friday.
“But if the inflation shock is more long-lasting they will have no choice but to sit on their hands for the entire year,” he added.
Central bankers have cautioned that the war could reheat inflation, though they stuck to their projection of one interest-rate cut this year at their meeting in March.
March’s CPI report also showed some signs of a tariff impact, as apparel rose 1% in March and is 3.4% higher over the past 12 months.
Furniture, another tariff-sensitive category, dipped slightly in March, but is up 3.1% over the past year.

Surge in mystery dead whales in San Francisco Bay raises alarm
Apr 9, 2026
A recent surge in whale deaths in the San Francisco Bay area has raised growing concern among marine scientists, as experts point to a mix of human activity and environmental stress as possible causes.
Within just over two weeks, five gray whales have been found dead in or around the bay, according to reporting by The Times. At least one of the animals is believed to have died after being struck by a vessel, while others were too decomposed for a clear cause of death to be determined.
Researchers say the pattern is troubling, particularly as whale sightings in the bay appear to be increasing. The shift may signal deeper ecological changes affecting the species.
“It’s not just about the deaths themselves,” one expert noted in the original report. “The fact that more whales are entering the bay suggests something is changing in their environment.”
The eastern North Pacific gray whale undertakes an annual migration of roughly 10,000 miles, traveling between feeding grounds in the Arctic and breeding areas off Mexico.
Scientists believe the animals are increasingly entering San Francisco Bay in search of food or safe resting areas, possibly because their traditional feeding zones are under strain.
Climate change is a leading suspect. Warming waters in the Arctic have disrupted ecosystems that whales rely on, leaving some animals malnourished. Several whales observed in recent years have appeared emaciated, reinforcing concerns about food shortages.
“The increase in whale activity in the bay may reflect a larger problem,” the report said, pointing to “dwindling Arctic food sources likely linked to climate change.”
At the same time, the presence of whales in busy shipping channels raises the risk of collisions. Vessel strikes remain one of the most immediate threats to large marine mammals, especially in heavily trafficked waters like San Francisco Bay.
Authorities are urging boaters to slow down and remain vigilant. “Maintaining safe distances is critical,” the report emphasized, both to protect whales and to avoid dangerous encounters at sea.
Population trends add to the urgency. Gray whale numbers dropped sharply from around 27,000 in 2016 to approximately 12,900 in recent years. Although there have been signs of partial recovery, experts say the species remains under stress.
Last year alone saw an unusually high number of whales entering the bay, with dozens recorded and many fatalities linked to human interaction.
Scientists stress that while no single cause explains the recent deaths, the combination of climate pressures and increased human activity is likely playing a significant role.
“This is a warning sign,” one researcher said. “We’re seeing the consequences of broader environmental changes play out in real time.”

Poisonous, stinging Portuguese man o’ war are rapidly invading beaches: ‘Extremely painful’
By Allison Lax
Published April 9, 2026, 5:29 p.m. ETThe Portuguese man o’ war has been making its presence known on beaches from Texas to Florida, as reported by Fox Weather.
The small but dangerous sea creature — which is known for its long tentacles and polyps that extend up to 100 feet, according to AL.com, and can deliver a painful sting even weeks after they’ve washed ashore — has also been seen on Fort Morgan, Alabama, beaches, where meteorologist Caroline Carithers took a photo of one.
Carithers has been seeing them wash up “all week,” according to News WKRG5.
The man o’war is typically found in subtropical seas and can end up on Gulf Coast shores — and even on the Southeast coast of the US.
On Pensacola Beach, lifeguards recently warned beachgoers of the nearby stinging marine life by flying both small red and purple flags, which were also meant to alert swimmers to dangerous conditions on the water.
“Please don’t touch or pick up these organisms — their sting is extremely painful!” the lifeguards wrote on nearby signage.
These nearly translucent blue, violet and pink-colored colored creatures are often confused with jellyfish due to their ethereal appearance and similar balloon-like float, which can rise six inches above the waterline. But they actually belong to a species of siphonophore, which is comprised of a colony of genetically identical individuals called zooids (clones) that work in uniform, each with different roles, per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Per NOAA, man o’ war has four specialized parts that cover the tasks of floating, taking prey, eating and reproducing.
While their sting uses tentacles to kill small fish and crustaceans with the nematocysts — microscopic capsules packed with venomous, coiled, barbed tubes — it is rarely fatal to humans. The welts it causes on exposed skin and the painful, burning sensation are not exactly what most would prefer while taking a relaxing stroll on the beach.
The sea creature gets its distinctive name for its aesthetic similarity to an 18th-century Portuguese warship.
In the event of an accidental sting, the afflicted should seek immediate medical attention. If planning to visit beaches along the Gulf Coast, keep an eye out for the creatures and admire them — just from a distance.

Iran Partially Opens Strait Of Hormuz, But Admits To Placing Naval Mines
Francis Kapper
April 9, 2026 5:28 PM ETIranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh informed the world that Tehran would open the Strait of Hormuz in a limited capacity during an interview on Thursday.
Khatibzadeh admitted in the interview with ITV that the Iranian regime has laid naval mines in the strait. These mines will have to be cleared after the conflict is resolved, which can be expensive and dangerous.
“Anybody who communicates with the Iranian authority has got permission to pass,” Khatibzadeh said in the ITV interview.
Khatibzadeh explained in the interview that the Iranian regime will have to guide vessels through the strait for the foreseeable future. Tehran told mediators that it would limit passage to only 12 ships per day, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Iran plans to impose a transit toll of $1/barrel payable in Chinese yuan or cryptocurrency, according to the Financial Times.
Iran may have as many as 2,000 to 6,000 mines, according to statements provided by U.S. officials to CBS News. Declassified CIA documents from 1984 state that the Iranians may have mines with explosive payloads larger than 1100 pounds (500 kilograms). Explosive charges of this size have the power to cripple or even sink large vessels.
“I have all the reasons to be skeptical regarding the intention of the other side, but more than that, as we are seeing, Israelis are violating, the grave violation is happening right now in Lebanon, yesterday was a massacre,” Khatibzadeh said in the ITV interview.
Israeli strikes in Lebanon on Wednesday resulted in 89 deaths and more than 700 people wounded, according to a statement that Lebanon’s health ministry provided to Reuters.
The Israel Defense Forces stated in an X post that they successfully killed Lebanese Resistance Brigade leader Maher Qassem Hamdan. The brigades are an irregular militia composed of Christians, Sunni and Shia Muslims, according to reporting by the International Business Times from 2015.
“Renewed aggression by the Zionist regime against Lebanon blatantly violates the initial ceasefire,” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a post on X.
“I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding. I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn’t,” Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters in Budapest, according to reporting by Reuters.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is seeking to begin negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible in a Government Press Office statement translated from Hebrew.
It remains unclear whether the current ceasefire will last. The ceasefire is slated to remain in place until April 22.
“The negotiations will focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon,” Netanyahu stated. Lebanon has not indicated whether it will participate in peace talks.
Conflict between Israel and Lebanon includes first-person-view drones from Hezbollah being sent far past the front line and into Israel proper. The IDF recently seized a cache of Hezbollah’s FPV drones, according to reporting by The Times of Israel.
“What we said is that the ceasefire would be focused on Iran, and the ceasefire would be focused on America’s allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states,” Vice President J.D. Vance told reporters in Budapest.

Washington declares statewide drought emergency after warm winter cuts snowpack in half
Apr 8, 2026, 1:30 PM | Updated: 7:53 pm
BY FRANK LENZI
KIRO News DirectorOfficials have declared a statewide drought emergency in Washington.
They cite an “exceptionally warm winter” and warmer-and drier-than-normal forecasts through early summer.
“There is no way to sugar-coat what is happening today,”
Washington Department of Ecology Director Casey Sixkiller said. “We have entered April with roughly half of our normal snowpack. In Washington, our summer water supply is stored in winter snowpack.”
Sixkiller said emergency drought declarations are made when the water supply is below 75% of normal. He does not expect the Seattle–Tacoma metro area to have any water supply issues this summer.
“But let me be clear,” he said. “We are all in this together.”
Near-normal rain, far-below-normal snowpack
Many of the state’s river basins are below 50% of normal.
“This is the fourth year in a row that part or all of Washington will be under a drought declaration, and it is the fourth statewide drought emergency since 2015,” a news release from the Washington Department of Ecology stated. “Seven of the past 10 years have seen drought in parts or all of the state.”
Even though Washington experienced 104% of normal precipitation from October to February, too much of it fell as rain instead of snow, officials said. Through June, forecasters expect above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation.
“If you look at our mountains, the challenge we are facing is clear,” Washington Governor Bob Ferguson said. “We’re taking emergency action to protect fish, farmers, and communities across Washington.”
State climatologists say the problem is temperature, not precipitation.
“Precipitation has been basically normal when averaged statewide, but it’s been really warm,” Karin Bumbaco, deputy state climatologist with the Washington State Climate Office at the University of Washington, said. “After our warmest December on record, we finally began to build snowpack in early January before an extended mid-winter dry spell through early March stopped snow accumulation in its tracks.”

Easter Terrorist Massacres in Pakistan and Nigeria
Catherine Salgado | 11:34 AM on April 06, 2026
In Pakistan and Nigeria, some Christians found their Easter turned into a day of mourning after jihadi attacks reportedly caused mass casualty events.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked about persecuted Christians for his Easter message, but heads of supposedly Christian countries in the West ignored the issue. Islamic terrorists often choose holidays to target Christians with deadly violence, and Easter 2026 was tragically no exception.
European media outlet Visegr
ád 24 shared on X on April 5, “Reports of a potential Islamist terror attack against Pakistani Christians on Easter morning. A man rammed a truck into a large Christian procession in Gujranwala, killing several Christians and wounding 60+.” It included a very brief and indistinct video clip.The outlet then followed up with the following video and update:
Christian Pakistanis speak after a potential terror attack against a Christian procession on Easter morning.
A man rammed a truck into a large Christian procession in Gujranwala, killing several Christians and wounding 60+
It does not appear that clear casualty statistics have come out of Pakistan. In Nigeria, however, there is a heartbreaking casualty count, as Punch Newspapers reported:
Terrorists have attacked Ariko community in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, targeting two Christian worship centres during Easter celebrations, killing at least seven persons and abducting several others…The councillor representing Awon Ward, under which Ariko District falls, Mark Bawa, confirmed the attack to PUNCH Online on Sunday via phone call.
According to him, the affected churches are First ECWA Church and St. Augustine Catholic Church, both located in Ariko.
Bawa said that the number of dead could be as high as eight. “The attackers came in large numbers. They surrounded the area and began shooting sporadically at worshippers. Several people were killed, and many others were taken away into the bush,” he explained. Islam largely fuels terrorism in Nigeria.
On the same subject of terrorist entities that just killed innocent civilians, the Iranian regime once again fired on civilian sites in Israel, killing two people and injuring four more, including a mother and baby, as of Easter Monday morning. Besides being Easter, this weekend was Shabbat during Passover, and as mentioned above, Islamic terrorists love to target civilians on holidays — both Jewish and Christian.
So today, as you rest after the rigors of Lent and the celebrations of Easter Sunday, as you perhaps attend church for Bright Monday or go back to work, do not forget to pray for persecuted Christians around the world. And most importantly of all, as an Israeli official recently pointed out, raise awareness about the global persecution of Christians. Imagine if there were only half the amount of funding and activism on behalf of persecuted Christians as there has been on behalf of Palestinian terrorists. What a difference that could make in the world.

'Political disaster': Israeli leaders lash out over ceasefire, split on who’s to blame
"It will take us years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu created," Lapid claimed, while Otzma Yehudit MK Zvika Fogel blames Trump for "wimping out."
By
TOBIAS SIEGALAPRIL 8, 2026 10:23Updated: APRIL 8, 2026 21:07
Opposition leader Yair Lapid sharply criticized on Wednesday the ceasefire with Iran announced earlier in the day, calling it a failure of political and strategic leadership and warning of long-term consequences for Israel’s security.
“There has never been such a political disaster in all of our history,” Lapid wrote in a statement, arguing that “Israel wasn’t even part of the discussions when decisions were made concerning our national security.”
He added that while “the military carried out everything that was asked of it” and “the public demonstrated amazing resilience,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “failed politically, failed strategically, and didn’t meet a single one of the goals that he himself set.”
Lapid warned that “it will take us years to repair the political and strategic damage that Netanyahu created due to arrogance, negligence, and a lack of strategic planning.”
Many in Israel view the ceasefire as a negative outcome
MK Zvika Fogel, chair of the Knesset’s National Security Committee and a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, reacted to the ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump with a sharply worded post on X/Twitter.
“Donald, you really wimped out,” he wrote, using the Hebrew word for “duck” to describe the American president, which in slang implies weakness or a lack of backbone.
While Fogel and Lapid directed their criticism in different directions, their remarks reflect a broader sentiment shared across the political spectrum that sees the ceasefire in its current form as a negative outcome for Israel.
Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman warned that the ceasefire “gives the ayatollahs’ regime a breather and an opportunity to regroup,” adding that “any agreement with Iran, without forgoing the destruction of Israel, uranium enrichment, production of ballistic missiles, and support for terrorist organizations in the region, means we’ll have to return to another campaign under harsher conditions and pay a heavier price.”
Frontline communities fear Hezbollah threat will persist despite ceasefire
Beyond the threat posed by Iran, others expressed a more immediate concern over Lebanon.
Israel has consistently stated its goal in Lebanon in the current war is to disarm Hezbollah and eliminate the threat it poses to northern communities. And while the IDF has recently signaled that fully achieving that objective may be unrealistic, the current ceasefire is widely viewed as a setback to efforts to significantly degrade the group’s capabilities.
Statements issued by front-line communities in northern Israel following Trump’s announcement voiced concern over a ceasefire that would halt IDF activity in southern Lebanon.
“If the war in Lebanon against Hezbollah is halted, that would be a first-rate ethical, moral, and security failure,” the head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council, Moshe Davidovich, was cited by N12 news site as saying.
“It is unacceptable that we sent our finest sons to fight, and turned hundreds of thousands of residents sitting on the confrontation line into defenders of the state, only to stop just before the decisive moment,” added Davidovich, who also serves as chairman of the Confrontation Line Forum.

Trump declares Strait of Hormuz 'joint venture' with Iran as Tehran's tollbooth is set to rake in $1million per ship: 'It's a beautiful thing'
By ROSS IBBETSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR and JON MICHAEL RAASCH, US POLITICAL REPORTER
Published: 08:57 EDT, 8 April 2026 | Updated: 12:25 EDT, 8 April 2026
Donald Trump has called a US-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz a 'joint venture' as Tehran prepares to charge ships up to $1 million per vessel to pass through the world's most critical oil artery.
Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire and will reopen the waterway while a 10-point peace plan is negotiated by both sides, Trump announced Wednesday.
The exact terms remain unsettled, but ships must notify intermediary companies linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of their cargo, destination and owner - with tolls of at least $1 per barrel payable in Chinese yuan or cryptocurrency.
Trump welcomed the idea on Wednesday, telling ABC: 'We're thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It's a way of securing it - also securing it from lots of other people.
'It's a beautiful thing.'
The Strait, through which a fifth of the world's oil flows, has been dubbed the 'Tehran Tollbooth' by analysts and traders as IRGC patrol boats will only escort vessels once payment clears.
Some analysts believe the scheme could net Iran as much as $500 billion over five years.
Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran's Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters' Union, said that cargo checks were necessary to prevent the transport of weaponry.
'Iran needs to monitor what goes in and out of the strait to ensure these two weeks aren't used for transferring weapons,' Hosseini, whose industry association has close ties to the regime, told the FT.
'Everything can pass through, but the procedure will take time for each vessel, and Iran is not in a rush,' he added.
Hosseini's comments indicate that vessels must hug the northerly Iranian coast of the Strait - which will raise concerns for maritime insurers.
Tankers in the Persian Gulf on Wednesday received a radio alert warning that they would be targeted if they did not first gain transit approval from Iranian authorities.
'If any vessels try to transit without permission, [they] will be destroyed,' said the broadcast in English.
Western shipping giants were working frantically to establish details over whether the Strait was truly operational again.
Maersk, the world's second biggest shipping line, said it was 'working with urgency' to clarify the terms.
'The ceasefire may create transit opportunities, but it does not yet provide full maritime certainty,' it said, adding that it was maintaining a 'cautious approach' and would not immediately change any routes.
If Iran keeps its grip on the Strait, it will raise explosive questions for OPEC+, the oil producers' cartel, and redraw the balance of power in the region.
Saudi Arabia, one of the group's most powerful members, would regard Iranian control of the waterway as intolerable. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had urged Trump to crush the Iranian regime before the ceasefire.
Ali Shihabi, a commentator close to the Saudi royal court, told the FT: 'Allowing Iran any form of control over the strait would be a red line. The priority has to be unimpeded access through the strait.'
The ten-point plan, reported by Iran's Tasnim news agency, says that the US should accept Tehran's continued control over the Strait, recognize its right to uranium enrichment, lift all sanctions, pay compensation, and withdraw all troops from the region.
Trump vowed that Iran will not be able to enrich uranium and that the US will coordinate with Tehran to extract 'nuclear dust' buried deep underground after airstrikes.
The President wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday: 'There will be no enrichment of uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 bombers) nuclear "dust."'
The safety of the uranium was confirmed before an eleventh-hour deal was struck, the White House said.
'Nothing has been touched from the date of attack,' Trump said, claiming that the nuclear site has been watched closely since it was bombed.
It is not clear whether Trump was referring to the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities in June, or to more recent strikes during the current Iran war.
Trump said that tariff and sanctions relief were being discussed as part of a peace plan with 'many' points already agreed.
Trump described the deal as 'total and complete victory' on Tuesday night.
The US and Iran will now engage in negotiations over the next two weeks, buying some time to try to reach a permanent settlement.
It is unlikely to be smooth sailing - but oil plunged below $100 per barrel for the first time in weeks and US stocks soared.
Following the confirmation of the deal, Trump hailed 'a big day for world peace' after agreeing to pause the attacks.
Iran has 'had enough' of the conflict, the US president said on Truth Social, and there will now be 'lots of positive action.'
Israel has also agreed to halt attacks on Iran for two weeks, a senior White House official told Axios, with the ceasefire taking effect once the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.
Iran accepted the Pakistan-brokered deal after a last-minute Chinese intervention urged Tehran to show flexibility over the war's economic fallout, three Iranian officials told the New York Times.
US crude oil prices plunged after Trump's announcement, with West Texas Intermediate contracts falling by more than 15 percent to $95 per barrel after hitting $116 earlier Tuesday.
Trump had warned Tuesday morning that 'a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again' if no deal was reached by his 8pm ET deadline.
Trump said that the 10-point proposal 'is a workable basis on which to negotiate,' despite saying on Monday that the deal was not 'good enough.'
Vice President JD Vance, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff have been leading US negotiations to end the war, launched on February 28 under the name Operation Epic Fury.
The deal came after Pakistani PM Sharif posted on X that major breakthroughs had been made between US and Iranian negotiators.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the announcement came with a caveat: 'There are discussions about face-to-face meetings between the United States and Iran, but nothing is final until it is announced by the President or the White House.'
Iran proposed the 10-point counter-proposal to US negotiators via Pakistani officials on Monday after the US gave Islamabad a 15-point proposal to begin a ceasefire.
The President refused to comment on the 10-point plan earlier on Tuesday, telling Fox News: 'I can't comment, because right now we're in heated negotiations.'
Sharif had called on both Trump and the Iranian regime to accept the two-week ceasefire before the President finally relented.
'To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture,' Sharif said on Tuesday afternoon.
'We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region.'

IDF reveals extent of Lebanese military's failure: 'An absolute lie'

Lebanese troops on the Israeli border
The IDF Arabic Language Spokesman Avichay Adraee published statistics and evidence on Thursday that refute the claims by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
According to the data, since the beginning of the current operation, the terror organization has launched approximately 3,000 mortars and missiles from the area between the Litani River and the border with Israel.
The data indicate that the launches were conducted from villages including Bint Jbil, Yatar, Qlailah, Baraashit, and Majdal Zoun.
According to the IDF Spokesperson, these statistics totally contradict the LAF's official statement published on January 8th, 2026, which stated that the army had completed the disarmament of Hezbollah in the area in question.
The IDF did not hold back on criticizing the Lebanese officials: "Today, it has become clear that this announcement was nothing but an absolute lie. These facts represent the greatest evidence of the catastrophic failure of the operation to disarm Hezbollah and to cleanse the area of its terrorist infrastructure."
It also revealed that not only did the LAF fail to remove the existing weapons, but it also allowed terrorists to reinforce its forces in the south.
According to the statement, Hezbollah terrorists were allowed to cross the river freely via bridges and main crossings that they used either to head south or to transport combat means from northern Lebanon to its south.

World Economic Forum Says Water, Soil, And Oxygen Should Not Be Infinitely Accessible. They Are Assets That Should Be Included In Global Economic Balance Sheets
“The More Smog in the Sky, The More People Will Buy!” -Mr. O'Hare. All of these things must and will be tokenized, reducing everything to datapoints and lines of code.
The WinePress's avatar
Apr 09, 2026The World Economic Forum says that the essential building blocks of life and the ecosystem — water, air and soil — all need to be commodified and must be accessed in limited and permissible quantities to the public. Carbon pricing and taxing is certainly not a new concept for the likes of the WEF, or those at the United Nations or the International Monetary Fund (IMF), but how that is defined and what it might look like in the new global economic system was only partially explained by those speaking at the WEF.
These views were expressed during a panel discussion at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions, held in Dalian, China, in 2024. The title of the discussion is called “Understanding Nature’s Ledger.”
The moderator, Magdalena Skipper, Editor-in-Chief for the journal Nature, began the talks by saying the panel “will emphasize the need to move beyond current economic indicators to mainstream natural capital in decision-making,” and “the need for proper accounting for ecosystems services.”
“Natural Capital” refers to “the stock of renewable and non-renewable natural resources (e.g., plants, animals, air, water, soils, minerals) that combine to yield a flow of benefits to people.”
Skipper added that “valuing economic models that prioritize assets such as clean water, clean air, nutritious food, human well-being is imperative.” “The good news, there is good news,” she added, “is that there are coordinated international efforts to expand beyond the traditional concepts of capital and profit.”

Bay Area-based tech company announces shocking layoff of nearly a quarter of its workforce
By Katie Jerkovich
Published April 8, 2026, 10:06 p.m. ETMore pain for the Bay Area tech sector as another company announces layoffs — this time a staggering 23% of the workforce.
The San Mateo action-based camera maker GoPro will let nearly a quarter of its workforce around the world go by the second quarter of 2026, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange commission.
The company, which first launched its camera line in the early 2000s, plans to cut some 145 jobs globally, representing 23% of the company’s ending first quarter head count of 631 employees, per the filing.
GoPro headquarters in San Mateo, California, with a view of the city and bay.
The cuts are expected to be completed by the end of the year, the filing read.
The move comes after GoPro’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan on April 7 to “reduce operating costs and drive stronger operating leverage.”
“Restructuring Plan is expected to cost the tech company between $11.5 million and $15 million. The costs include one time benefits payouts to those “affected employees, including but not limited to severance payments and healthcare benefits,” the filing noted.
An article in November 2025, noted that GoPro sales had declined by nearly 37% year over year.
Despite the drop, CEO Nicolas Woodman put a positive spin on the way things stood at the time.
“Q3 marked a meaningful step forward in our strategy to diversify, grow, and restore profitability to GoPro’s business,” Woodman said. “We successfully launched three new TAM-expanding hardware products — our MAX2 360 camera, LIT HERO camera and Fluid Pro AI gimbal — alongside several new software offerings. We expect to return to revenue growth and profitability beginning Q4 2025 and in 2026.”

Several people commented on a Reddit Post about the job cuts.
“Another round of layoffs (not to be confused with the previous layoffs, this is new). This is a brutal time to be laid off, I hope they land on their feet,” one person wrote. “This is 100% on Nick Woodman. He should have been laid off years ago.”
Another added, “Might be a good move for them, everyone laying off, thousands of employees, they just following the trend. For investors it sounds appealing.”
“Salaries cut off, new cameras + new processor at NBA Show -> Their stock will probably jump a lot on the next few weeks. So with this changes + new revenue if the launch is a success, might actually save them as a company.”
On Tuesday, it was announced that some 700 workers at another Bay Area tech company, Oracle, would be out of work by June statewide.
The statewide tally along with another nearly 500 firings in Seattle, is part of the software maker’s recently announced bloodbath that is reportedly in the thousands of jobs.
Last month, a 6 a.m. email message was sent out to workers notifying fired employees that they were out.
The message from one of the world’s largest software companies, chaired by billionaire Larry Ellison, informed “thousands” of workers across the globe that March 31 would be their last day.
Two people familiar with the matter confirmed to CNBC that the layoffs involved thousands of jobs.
Oracle told The California Post that it would decline comment when asked about how many jobs were being cut.
As of May 2025, the software company employed around 162,0000 full-time employees, according to its annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The California Post reached out to GoPro for further comment.

Europe Begins Energy Rationing as the Crisis Moves Into Daily Life
Posted Apr 9, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
Europe is now removing any doubt about the seriousness of this crisis, because governments do not tell millions of people to stay home from work unless there is a genuine shortage forming beneath the surface. The European Union has begun urging citizens to work from home, drive less, reduce speed limits, and cut overall energy consumption as part of an emergency response to the shock created by the Iran war.
The language coming out of officials makes it clear that this is not temporary. European authorities are warning of a “very serious situation” with no immediate end in sight, and that is consistent with what we are seeing globally as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted one of the most critical energy arteries in the world. Roughly 20% of global oil and gas normally moves through that route, and Europe alone depends on it for a meaningful portion of its energy mix, including about 7% of its oil, 8.5% of LNG, and as much as 40% of jet fuel and diesel. When that flow is disrupted, there is no quick replacement.
What governments are doing now is trying to reduce demand because they cannot increase supply fast enough. The International Energy Agency has even outlined measures such as reducing highway speeds, limiting private car use, encouraging public transportation, and shifting work patterns to remote where possible. This is not environmental policy, this is rationing by another name. It is the same playbook we saw in the 1970s, only now it is being implemented through modern systems rather than overt fuel lines and shortages at the pump.
The push toward remote work is particularly telling because it highlights how deeply energy is embedded in the economy. Commuting, office buildings, transportation networks, all of these consume energy, and by reducing physical movement, governments are attempting to lower overall demand without explicitly declaring rationing. Some countries are even moving toward four-day workweeks and limiting travel to essential activities only, which again shows that the problem is not theoretical but already impacting how economies function on a daily basis.
This ties directly into the broader supply shock that has been described as the largest in modern history. The International Energy Agency has warned that this crisis is worse than the shocks of 1973, 1979, and even the recent energy disruptions combined, and that is because the current system is far more interconnected and dependent on continuous energy flows. Europe entered this crisis with already low gas storage levels, estimated around 30% capacity after a harsh winter, which has left it particularly vulnerable as prices have surged and supplies tightened.
What the public still does not fully grasp is that this is only the beginning phase. The oil and gas that were already in transit before the disruption are still working their way through the system, and that has delayed the full impact. Governments are trying to get ahead of that moment by cutting demand now, because once those flows diminish further, the gap between supply and consumption will become impossible to ignore. That is when rationing becomes unavoidable rather than advisory.
There is also a secondary effect that is already emerging, which is the impact on industry. Energy-intensive sectors across Europe, including chemicals and manufacturing, are facing rising costs and in some cases reducing output or adding surcharges of up to 30% just to stay operational. This is how an energy crisis turns into an economic crisis, because once production slows, prices rise, and growth begins to stall while inflation accelerates, creating the classic stagflation scenario.
The idea that economies can continue operating at full capacity while energy supply is constrained is simply not realistic. When energy becomes scarce, everything above it must contract, and that is exactly what we are seeing with reduced work schedules, remote work mandates, and transportation limits.
Governments are trying to manage the transition in a way that avoids panic, but the measures themselves reveal the severity of the situation. Once you begin telling entire populations to change how they work, travel, and consume energy, you have already crossed into crisis territory.
This will not resolve quickly. Officials are already warning that the shock will be long-lasting, and that suggests the current measures are just the first step. If the disruption to global energy flows continues, these temporary adjustments will evolve into more formalized restrictions, and what is now being presented as voluntary guidance will become mandatory policy.
Energy sits at the foundation of the entire economy, and once that foundation is disrupted, everything built on top of it begins to shift. Europe is now entering that phase, and the move toward remote work and reduced consumption is simply the first visible sign that the system is under strain.

Gulf leaders tell Trump: No ceasefire without ending Iranian threat
With about a day left before the deadline expires, the US president held a marathon of calls with regional leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. At the center of the talks was the possibility of a significant escalation in the fighting against the Iranian regime. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed said there should be no ceasefire without removing the threat from Tehran.

Last modified: 04-07-2026 00:28US President Donald Trump held a series of phone calls with regional leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On the agenda were the state of the war, possible ways to bring it to an end, including ceasefire proposals, and the issue of the Strait of Hormuz.
All the Gulf leaders Trump spoke with, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed and Netanyahu, reiterated that there should be no ceasefire without achieving the central objective of completely removing the Iranian threat.
According to two diplomatic sources, the Gulf leaders made clear that even after the heavy blows it has suffered, Iran would rebuild its offensive capabilities if given the opportunity and would continue its policy of threatening regional stability.
The sources added that Trump's position has not changed, and that a ceasefire would be possible only if Iran accepts the basic conditions that have been set for it: dismantling its nuclear project, limiting its missile capabilities, immediately reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and halting aid and support for terrorist organizations across the region.
Regarding Hormuz, the United Arab Emirates expressed willingness to join an immediate move to reopen the strait, while Saudi Arabia promised logistical and air support for such a move. Both countries voiced concern over a possible Iranian response to strikes on power stations and oil facilities, which, according to threats from Tehran, would target oil fields, power stations and desalination plants.

by Raw Egg Nationalist
April 6th, 2026 9:30 AM
Diesel has now hit $8 a gallon in San Francisco—the highest recorded price in a US city, ever
On 2 March, in the opening days of the US-Iran war, diesel was $3.90 a gallon in California
Diesel has now hit $8 a gallon in San Francisco—the highest recorded price in a US city, ever.
Across California, the average price of diesel was $7.67 a gallon on Sunday, also the highest average ever recorded.
On 2 March, in the opening days of the US-Iran war, diesel was $3.90 a gallon in California.
As The New York Post notes, “The spike comes as the rest of the U.S. sees diesel prices begin to stabilize after soaring in the wake of military action against Iran and the closure of the Straits of Hormuz.”
Nationwide diesel prices rose just 2.6% in the last week of March, with three regions of the US seeing a fall in prices.
In California, by contrast, prices rose by 34.9 cents.
The massive increase is explained, in large part, by the fact California has no direct oil pipelines from outside the state, meaning almost all supplies must be imported, whether by ship, rail or road.
There are also a limited number of refineries, and strict environmental regulations have made the market more vulnerable to shocks and disruptions.
Soaring prices will be passed on to consumers.
The California Trucking Association said increasing diesel prices “will be passed down to consumers in the price of everyday goods like construction materials, groceries, health care supplies and retail products.”
The Independent Grocers Alliance said shoppers could see higher grocery prices this summer.
“While fuel is not the largest single cost in food, it is the most pervasive,” the group said.
Californians already face some of the highest costs of living in the US.

“The Everything Meltdown”: Global Supply Chains Are Collapsing And Most People Cannot Even Imagine The Pain That Is Coming
April 5, 2026 by Michael
When global supply chains collapse, the pain is not felt immediately. Tankers that left their destinations before the war with Iran began are still arriving at their destinations, products that were manufactured prior to the war still fill our shelves, and we are still eating food that was produced last year. So even though global supply chains are collapsing all around us, most people don’t feel it yet. But if this war with Iran drags on for months, the pain that we will soon experience will be unbelievable.
Anyone that thinks that the global economy can continue to function at or near current levels without sufficient supplies of oil, natural gas, plastic and fertilizer is just being delusional.
The only way that we can avoid “the everything meltdown” is if this war ends quickly.
Even if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened tomorrow, we will not see a return to pre-war conditions any time soon because damage that has been done to energy infrastructure in the Middle East will take years to fully rebuild.
With each passing day, the damage is getting even worse. For example, the biggest natural gas processing facility in the United Arab Emirates was just shut down following an Iranian attack…
Abu Dhabi’s Habshan gas facility, the UAE’s largest natural gas processing site, was shut down after debris from an intercepted Iranian missile caused a fire. The plant processes and distributes gas from the emirate’s fields for domestic use, making it a critical component of the country’s energy infrastructure. The attack comes amid a series of Iranian strikes on Gulf energy assets, including oil refineries and desalination plants in Kuwait, underscoring the vulnerability of regional infrastructure.
And just hours ago, the Iranians caused substantial damage at the Shuwaikh Oil Sector Complex in Kuwait…
An Iranian drone attack caused a fire at the Shuwaikh Oil Sector Complex, Kuwaiti authorities confirmed on Sunday morning.
The attack caused no casualties, the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
The facility hosts both the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and the Oil Ministry’s headquarters, KUNA noted.
Over the past month, we have witnessed so much destruction to vital infrastructure, and it appears that the war is going to escalate to an entirely new level this week.
If President Trump follows through on his threats to destroy Iran’s power grid, the Iranians have warned that they will unleash unprecedented attacks on energy infrastructure all over the region.
One energy industry insider is warning that we are facing “sustained, compounding cost pressure across every industry”…
“This is headed toward sustained, compounding cost pressure across every industry that touches fuel, which is effectively every industry,” said Herman Nieuwoudt, president of IFS Energy & Resources.
Nieuwoudt says what we’re seeing right now isn’t a single price shock.
“It’s the consequence of the largest energy supply disruption in modern history layered on top of six years of structural volatility,” he said. “These disruptions cascade through manufacturing, packaging, agriculture, transportation, and retail in ways that take months to fully materialize,” he added.
He is right.
Literally just about everything is going to cost more in the months ahead.
Virtually our entire trucking industry runs on diesel, and at this point the average price of diesel fuel in the U.S. has reached a staggering $5.53 a gallon…
Diesel, widely used in farming, construction and trucking, among other industries, has risen even more sharply than gas, with the U.S. average this week hitting $5.53 a gallon, up from $3.64 a year ago, according to AAA.
This is survivable, but what are we going to do when it reaches 10 dollars a gallon?
Already, the average price of diesel fuel in San Francisco has surpassed 8 dollars a gallon…
For the first time on record, average diesel prices in San Francisco have surged past $8 per gallon, according to new data from GasBuddy—marking an unprecedented milestone for any U.S. city.
Maybe you don’t care about the price of diesel fuel.
But you should, because the cost of diesel fuel is going to be passed along to you.
Already, shipping companies are starting to impose very large fuel surcharges on their customers…
Citing higher energy costs, the United States Postal Service announced last month that it’s planning to impose an 8% surcharge on Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage and Parcel Select services.
E-commerce giant Amazon also said that, beginning April 17, it plans to add a 3.5% fuel surcharge on third-party sellers, while FedEx and UPS have also recently introduced fuel surcharges, according to the Associated Press.
Stuff doesn’t just show up on your doorstep or in the stores by magic.
It takes fuel to move stuff around, and so all of the stuff that you buy on a regular basis is about to get more expensive.
And that is really bad news, because even before the war we were already in the midst of a historic cost of living crisis.
In many areas of the U.S., the price of a pound of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum wage…
The cost of a pound of ground beef has hit a major threshold. Depending on where you shop, the grocery staple likely costs more than the federal minimum wage.
Money analyzed ground beef prices at seven of the most popular grocery chains across the U.S., finding that 1 pound of the typical 20% fat ground beef costs between $6.49 and $8.96. Organic, grass-fed and leaner varieties tend to cost much more.
On the other hand, the federal minimum wage sits at $7.25 per hour.
In 1988, you could get a pound of ground beef for about $1.30.
This is what happens when you destroy your economy.
And now the war in the Middle East is going to make things much, much worse.
Just about everything that we buy either contains plastic or comes wrapped in plastic.
Unfortunately, the war with Iran is severely disrupting global plastic supply chains…
Plastics are core to the modern economy, and a troubling new Bloomberg report indicates that several producers of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) have declared force majeure, as tanker flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain heavily disrupted.
For context, MEG and PTA are the two primary feedstocks used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyester fibers. These petrochemicals are critical to the production of everyday consumer goods that make life in the developed world convenient, including plastic bottles, food packaging, clothing, home furnishings, and a wide range of consumer and industrial goods.
More specifically, MEG is used in the production of polyester yarn, polyester staple fiber, PET resin, and PET film. It also plays a critical role in antifreeze, coolants, adhesives, coatings, and enamels.
In other words, MEG and PTA are foundational petrochemical building blocks for the modern economy. Any sustained disruption to these flows would be detrimental to the global economy.
I really wish that this wasn’t true, but our economy simply cannot function without plastic.
So what are we going to do now?
Every industry on the entire planet is going to be affected by the supply chain disruptions that are occurring.
In India, the textile industry has been “completely paralyzed” by this war…
Apocalyptic economic fallout. NHK confirms Trump’s disastrous war has completely paralyzed India’s massive textile industry. With 90% of their LPG imports choked off at the Strait of Hormuz, HALF A MILLION workers just lost their jobs. The global supply chain is collapsing.
If this war keeps going for an extended period of time, things will only get worse from here.
In other words, enjoy this moment, because this is the best that conditions are going to be for quite a while.
Personally, I am more concerned about global food supplies than anything else.
According to the United Nations, the number of people around the world experiencing “acute hunger” was at the highest level ever recorded even before this war erupted.
Now farmers all over the northern hemisphere can’t get the nitrogen fertilizer that they desperately need because it is locked up in the Middle East…
Fertilizer is the link between energy and food. Natural gas is not just a fuel; it is the primary feedstock for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers through a process developed over a century ago called the Haber–Bosch method. Natural gas goes in, ammonia comes out, ammonia becomes urea, urea gets spread on cornfields in Iowa and wheat fields in Kansas and rice paddies in Asia. About 80 percent of nitrogen fertilizer production costs are attributable to natural gas. When the Strait of Hormuz is practically shuttered, you do not just block oil tankers and LNG carriers. You block the ships carrying urea and ammonia that the world’s farmers were expecting to receive this spring.
The numbers are sobering. The Persian Gulf region accounts for roughly a third of globally traded urea exports and approximately 25 percent of ammonia trade. Qatar’s state fertilizer company—QAFCO, considered the world’s largest urea supplier—shut down its plant when gas was cut. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf producers have seen exports stall. China, the other major global fertilizer exporter, has restricted outbound shipments to protect its domestic supply. These two supply sources together represent a substantial share of the global market, and both are simultaneously constrained.
For now, we are still eating food that was produced in 2025.
So everything still seems fine.
But in the not too distant future, annual crops such as wheat, barley and corn are going to be much more expensive.
Meanwhile, crops that do not have to be planted every year such as olives and grapes will not be seriously affected.
Nitrogen fertilizer must be applied at the proper time or it won’t work.
If the Strait of Hormuz opens up this summer, it won’t be possible to reverse the crop losses that we are facing.
We need the Strait of Hormuz to be opened immediately, but that simply is not going to happen.

Leaked Goldman Sachs Document Paints Bleak Picture For World Oil Supplies
Jesse Stiller
DCNF Associate Editor
An internal note leaked on social media from Goldman Sachs on Friday warned that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could crater worldwide oil supply.
The “Are We Running Out Of Oil?” note analyzed product supplies, price responses and anecdotal angles suggesting that several countries could face either widespread oil scarcity or complete supply drains in critical energy sectors like fuel oil and gasoline, according to MarketWatch. Goldman Sachs’ research was published on Friday and made private, though several X users leaked graphs and analysis on social media. (RELATED: US Economy Could Be In Dire Straits As Hormuz Slams Shut)
“Our three-way analysis highlights already critically low supplies of petrochemical feedstocks — naphtha and LPG — in Asia, with cross-product scarcity in multiple Asian countries in April,” the note reads in part.
Goldman Sachs declined to comment when reached by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

A ship carrying more than 700,000 barrels of Russian crude oil has arrived in the Philippines, a source with knowledge of the matter told AFP on March 26, days after the country declared a national energy emergency over the Middle East war. (Photo by Ted ALJIBE / AFP via Getty Images)
X user ChrisO_Wiki published a multi-post thread highlighting that shipping through Hormuz has fallen by 94% since the start of the Iran war. The user further noted that the fuel oil primarily used for heating commercial and residential buildings could run out completely in multiple Southeast Asian countries.
“China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan face the loss of 100% of their fuel oil supply. Outside Asia, the US is worst affected, with the loss of around 60% of its supply,” the thread reads in part.
Per the report, the United States would only lose about 3% of its diesel and jet fuel product supply. However, around 13% of U.S. Naphtha supply could also be lost. Gasoline stockpiles would only fall by 1% if exports were to remain at zero.
The thread also highlights that most major countries have at least 40 days’ supply of crude oil on average, with the exception being the United Kingdom at 14 days.
Due to strategic stocks being drawn down to make up for supply gaps, supply rationing would become “inevitable” and shortages would worsen if output from the strait remained at zero, the thread says. The user also cites a map from J.P. Morgan, showing that the U.S. and Europe will receive their last jet fuel tanker shipments by April 15.
“The consequences are likely to be severe, with physical shortages leading to rationing, demand destruction (flight cancellations, factories closing), and soaring prices as Asian countries pay premiums to divert oil and fuel tankers that would otherwise have gone to the West,” the thread concludes.
The report comes as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate, with President Donald Trump issuing an expletive-laden rant demanding that Iran “Open the Fuckin’ Strait.” That social media post followed another one made on Saturday, warning “all hell will reign [sic] down” on Iran if the strait remained closed.
Some companies are already feeling surging fuel prices, with United Airlines increasing checked baggage fees by over $10 on a passenger’s first two bags each. Gas prices in the U.S. have also surged to over $4 a gallon, a sharp increase from under $3 in late February.

Trump dragging Americans ‘into hell’ – Iranian parliament speaker
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has dismissed the US president’s threat to bomb civilian infrastructure unless the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened
Published 6 Apr, 2026 00:37 | Updated 6 Apr, 2026 01:40
US President Donald Trump’s war with Iran is making life worse for ordinary Americans, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has said in response to ultimatums over the Strait of Hormuz.
In an expletive-laden post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump warned that Iran would be “living in hell” unless the vital waterway is reopened to shipping by Tuesday, 8 PM Eastern Time (midnight GMT). He also repeated his threat to bomb Iranian power plants and bridges.
Responding on X, Qalibaf urged Trump to end what he described as a “dangerous game.”
“Your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living HELL for every single family, and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu’s commands,” Qalibaf wrote, referring to the Israeli prime minister.
“Make no mistake: You won’t gain anything through war crimes,” the Iranian official added.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to “enemy ships” shortly after the US and Israel initiated their air campaign on February 28. Tehran later said navigation rules would change and that the strait would remain inaccessible to the US and Israel for an extended period.
Traffic through the strait normally accounts for 20–25% of global oil shipments and around 20% of liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade. Disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict are driving up energy prices, including in the US, where the average price of gasoline has risen to $4 per gallon for the first time since 2022.
Russia’s envoy to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said Washington fails to understand that Tehran would only accept agreements based on “reasonable compromises,” not ultimatums.

As President Donald Trump's ultimatum nears its end, there are almost no contacts between Washington and Tehran. Israeli officials believe the failure of the talks is pushing the war into a decisive economic phase. The goal: hitting the Iranian oil and transport sectors until the economy is paralyzed and the regime collapses.

With just two days left before the end of Trump's latest 10-day ultimatum to Iran, there are almost no contacts between the sides after most of the countries involved in the talks stepped back. Pakistan, the surprise mediator, concluded that the gaps between the parties were too wide. The US sent a 15-point document that Iran viewed as a surrender note, and even the bare minimum needed for indirect negotiations under fire failed to materialize.
As Israel Hayom reported, the US informed Israel that those talks had failed and that dialogue with Iran had reached a dead end. The main reason for the impasse is an internal dispute within Iran's leadership over how to end the war. On one side, President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi received backing from former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an article proposing a framework for an agreement.
On the other side, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, led by Ahmad Vahidi, believes that despite the enormous damage, the regime can survive, that Trump will eventually lose patience, and that the Gulf states and Israel will not be able to sustain the economic paralysis for long. Trump tried to cultivate an alternative leadership, but apparently did not succeed, and at this stage there is no legitimacy within the regime for negotiations.
Why did the US-Iran talks collapse?
Egypt also tried to mediate, but came under sharp criticism from the Gulf states, as it was seen as sitting on the fence rather than supporting its Arab sisters under attack from Iran. Turkey is still trying, but Iran has launched missiles at it at least three times as well, and that channel has effectively been cut off.
Oman, which had mediated before the war and was itself unexpectedly attacked by Iran, received a message from the US that only a positive Iranian response to basic American demands would lead to progress, and it too withdrew. France, whose involvement in the talks Israel Hayom previously reported, received a particularly cold shoulder from the Americans and shifted to direct discussions with Iran over the passage of its ships and tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
France, incidentally, has angered the Gulf states by torpedoing a proposed UN Security Council resolution calling for military action to reopen Hormuz, and also by blocking US military flights over its territory. According to a senior Arab diplomatic source in the region, the Gulf Cooperation Council, which is expected to convene again at the start of the week, is also set to make decisions regarding its ties with France.
The United Arab Emirates has already announced that it will withdraw from a financing agreement for development of the new French Rafale fighter jet, and the Gulf state is expected to reduce its military purchases from France. The UAE, which has absorbed the brunt of the Iranian attacks, is also leading the Gulf states in advocating a hard line against Iran.
What is the next move in the war?
Anwar Gargash, adviser to the UAE leader and the country's most influential figure on foreign policy, responded to Zarif by saying he had avoided dealing with the central issue: Iran's long-standing aggression toward its Arab neighbors. He added mockingly that Iran's strategy is to portray total destruction as a victory.
Behind the scenes, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait support the Israeli position that attacks on Iran should not stop until its military threat to the region and to the Strait of Hormuz is removed. Trump is attentive to that position, and the expectation is that given the current rupture with Iran, the fighting will continue for at least another week and is likely to intensify from this coming Monday.
A limited US ground operation at strategic sites also cannot be ruled out. On the working assumption that the regime will not accept the American demands and that its overthrow is still out of reach, the direction the US appears to be taking in order to bring about Iran's collapse is the economic one.
What will the economic campaign look like?
As part of the escalating attacks, the targets expected to come under fire include additional bridges and major railway lines, especially those leading to the capital, Tehran. The expanded target bank also includes various sectors of the oil industry, both in extraction and in related products, including petrochemical industries.
The main reason is that these industries are controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and serve as a primary source of income for it.
"At a not-so-distant stage, the economic issue will begin to have an impact. Remember what brought down the Soviet Union: economic collapse. Already today, most public-sector workers in Iran are not being paid, including large parts of the regular army. That is in contrast to the forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its various affiliated mechanisms, where payments are continuing," a diplomatic source involved in analyzing war scenarios explained.
"Many factories have shut down or been taken out of operation, entire sectors of the economy have ceased to function, and that economic burden is having an impact. Even if the war ended now, the regime would not be able to begin reconstruction without a full lifting of sanctions," the source added.
And that leads to the next phase of the economic war: a complete halt to Iran's oil exports, its oxygen pipeline, which has already been hit hard since the start of the war. This economic move, which over the past year has deepened the crisis as sanctions enforcement intensified, is ultimately expected to bring about economic collapse. According to the source, no ideology, however fanatical, will be able to prevent that.

We must face the end of the era of decisive victories
Opinion: Grandiose declarations about the defeat of Hezbollah and Iran will end in disappointment; The eradication of the axis of evil and all its branches remains essential, but there is no point in repeating meaningless illusions
Ben-Dror Yemini|Yesterday | 21:55
They don't stop with the grandiose statements, so someone needs to tell them the truth. We are no longer in the era of great and decisive victories. Great powers do not win. Even strong states do not win. In recent weeks, this has been evident in the war against Iran. There will be no winners, even if Iran suffers damage exceeding a trillion dollars. Hezbollah will not be disarmed, no matter how many statements Defense Minister Israel Katz makes — five a week or five a day.
We are living in a new era. For more than four years, Russia — still considered a superpower — has been trying to subdue Ukraine. It has failed. The United States is striking Iran, but if the regime collapses, it will likely be due to a popular uprising. Bombings can help, but they do not bring victory. You can cause massive destruction — to industries, to war production, even to infrastructure — but that is not victory. The leader of the world’s most powerful country effectively admitted that he does not intend, and likely cannot, reopen the Strait of Hormuz or extract uranium. But what does it matter — he has already declared victory.
There is no need to look far. Israel is a regional power — even a global one, Netanyahu boasted — in yet another speech in which he seems to believe that words create reality. Israel may indeed be a power, but in the style of this new era — like Russia, like the United States.
Israel fought Hamas for two years. Two years. There was no victory, certainly not a decisive one. It was clear from the outset — and written in this column from the very first days of the war — that this was not only a war, but a broader campaign. It was clear that international pressure, including halting arms shipments, would be part of that campaign. It was clear that diplomatic deterioration would come — and it did, in full force. But the “strategist” who led us to October 7 refuses to understand. He replaced victory with words about victory. Hamas still controls nearly half of the Gaza Strip. It is weakened, damaged, hurt — but still standing. Victory?
This did not begin with the current conflicts. The Soviet Union did not win in Afghanistan. It sank into a decade-long quagmire and withdrew. Russia learned nothing and invaded Ukraine, suffering roughly a thousand deaths a day. The United States entered the same quagmire to remove the Taliban, and after nearly two decades handed power back to that very same Taliban.
We have our own boastful speeches. After the ceasefire with Hezbollah in November 2024, Netanyahu said: “This is no longer the same Hezbollah. We pushed it back decades… we destroyed most of its missiles and rockets.” Just over six months later, in an interview with Ayala Hasson at the end of Operation Rising Lion, Netanyahu said: “Hezbollah has collapsed. The moment Hezbollah collapsed, this movement essentially fell to its knees. We are on the way to a huge victory.” And last week, once again, Netanyahu declared a major victory over Iran and Hezbollah: “Israel is no longer just a regional power. It is a global power.”
Almost everything Netanyahu said is true: we eliminated, we destroyed, we struck. But that is not victory. The north is still under constant fire, yet declarations of victory seem more important. Not only Netanyahu, but many others — commanders and commentators alike — struggle to grasp that we are in a different era. So why, for heaven’s sake, repeat the same illusions?
These words are not meant to weaken resolve. On the contrary, dismantling the axis of evil in all its forms remains essential. But when residents of the north are promised that Hezbollah will be disarmed, it leads to frustration and national disappointment. Boastful declarations of victory do not strengthen national resilience — they undermine it.

BREAKING REPORT: Both F-15 pilots are rescued and SAFE
Apr. 3, 2026 7:35 pm by The Right Scoop
It’s being reported tonight that both of the F-15 pilots, who ejected after they were shot down by Iran today, are said to be safe.
Here’s the news:
BREAKING: General Holt Tells WABC That Both Crew Members in F-15 Crash Are Safe, Citing Two High-Level Sources
Here’s more from NBC News, including news on another jet that was downed by Iran today during the search and rescue efforts:
U.S. forces were searching for an F-15E crew member after a two-seater fighter jet went down over Iran, a U.S. official said Friday. The other crew member has been rescued. Iran shot down the F-15E Strike Eagle, a U.S. official said, and the American military was scrambling to find the second aviator after a regional governor offered a bounty for its crew. A U.S. aircraft that was mobilized to support the search and rescue mission was also struck by Iranian fire after the F-15E jet was downed, a U.S. official told NBC News. That aircraft, a single-pilot A-10 Thunderbolt, known as a Warthog, made it to Kuwaiti airspace, where the pilot ejected and the aircraft crashed, the official said. The pilot is safe and the A-10 is down in Kuwait, according to the official. Two U.S. military Blackhawk helicopters that were involved in search and rescue efforts were also struck by Iranian fire, but the service members were unharmed, according to a U.S. official. In a brief phone interview on Friday, President Donald Trump declined to discuss specifics of the rescue operation. When asked if Iran’s actions would negatively affect any negotiations to end the war, the president said, “No, not at all. No, it’s war.”I’ve been looking for a CENTCOM statement all day long, but haven’t seen one yet. Glad to know both pilots are rescue and safe.

U.S. Hypersonic Missile Test Signals Race To Deploy Next-Gen Weapons
Dallas Express

The U.S. Army and Navy conducted a successful test of a common hypersonic missile on March 26 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, advancing a key priority identified by defense officials to accelerate the development of next-generation battlefield capabilities.
According to a Department of War press release on April 2, the joint test supports efforts to deploy hypersonic weapons across both land- and sea-based platforms.
These systems are designed to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5 and strike heavily defended or time-sensitive targets.
The test aligns with a broader Pentagon strategy to rapidly field advanced technologies for near-term use in combat operations.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, defense officials identified hypersonic weapons as one of six critical technology areas necessary to maintain battlefield advantage.

“Our adversaries are moving fast, but we will move faster,” Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael said when announcing the initiative. “The warfighter is not asking for results tomorrow; they need them today.”
Michael added, “These six Critical Technology Areas are not just priorities; they are imperatives. The American warfighter will wield the most advanced technology to maximize lethality. This is how the War Department wins wars.”
The hypersonic test reflects that urgency, as military leaders work to transition emerging technologies from development into operational use.
Hypersonic weapons differ from traditional missiles by combining extreme speed with maneuverability, making them more difficult to detect and intercept.
The push to expand these capabilities also places increased pressure on the U.S. defense supply chain.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, the federal government has invested in domestic production of critical minerals such as gallium and scandium, which are used in missile defense systems and hypersonic weapons. A $29.9 million award supported the development of a production facility, including work tied to Cedar Park, Texas.
Defense officials have framed such investments as necessary to reduce reliance on foreign sources and strengthen national security.
The Army and Navy’s continued testing signals a broader effort to accelerate deployment timelines, reduce costs, and ensure the United States maintains a technological edge in future conflicts.

Earthquake swarm erupts near Atlantic's deepest point... highlighting East Coast tsunami scenario
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 10:30 EDT, 3 April 2026 | Updated: 10:49 EDT, 3 April 2026
Dozens of earthquakes have been detected near the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, raising concerns about seismic risks in a region capable of producing powerful quakes.
At least 50 earthquakes have struck along the Puerto Rico Trench region north of the Virgin Islands since April 1, with six reported Friday morning. A magnitude 5.0 earthquake was also recorded on March 31, just before the recent swarm began.
The earthquakes ranged in magnitude from 1.6 to 4.3, with most measuring between 3.0 and 3.4.
The Puerto Rico Trench, located about 75 miles north of Puerto Rico at the boundary between the Caribbean and North American plates, stretches more than 500 miles, with its deepest point, known as Milwaukee Deep, plunging more than 28,000 feet below sea level.
Scientists have conducted extensive studies to assess tsunami risks along the US Atlantic coast, using hundreds of simulated earthquake scenarios to identify the most dangerous potential sources.
Computer models show that extremely powerful earthquakes in the trench, ranging from magnitude 8.6 to 8.9, could generate tsunami waves reaching about 11 to 16 feet in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Observers also pointed to what appeared to be two separate clusters of earthquake activity forming along the trench system.
This unusual pattern has drawn attention from those tracking seismic conditions across the region, with many saying: 'This may need to be watched.'
Meteorologist Zack Fradella with FOX 8 News shared on Facebook: 'Over 100 earthquakes over the last week.
'Did you know tsunamis are possible in this part of the world? Although they're rare, if you plan a vacation down in Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands, keep it in mind.'
Locals have reported higher-than-usual surf along the beach in Puerto Rico amid the swarms.
Guoqing Lin, a professor of marine geosciences at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, said: 'Puerto Rico is located on the boundary of the North American and Caribbean plates and is sandwiched between four seismogenic zones.
'This diffuse and complex tectonic setting makes the island a seismically active region.'
The most destructive earthquake that hit Puerto Rico occurred more than 100 years ago, a 7.3 magnitude quake that struck in October 1918, triggering a tsunami and killing 116 people.
'Locally generated tsunamis tend to be caused by large earthquakes near the coast, those above magnitude 7.0,' said Lin.
'This one did not trigger a tsunami. Interestingly, it is believed that the Puerto Rico Trench is capable of producing earthquakes greater than magnitude 8.0.'
A tsunami is a series of powerful ocean waves created when large amounts of water are suddenly pushed out of place.
This most often happens along underwater fault lines where tectonic plates meet, especially in deep ocean trenches.
When one plate slips beneath another during an earthquake, a process known as subduction, it can shift massive amounts of water and trigger tsunami waves.
After the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, 2004, scientists around the world increased efforts to better understand how these deadly waves form and spread.
In the US, much of that work has been led by the National Center for Tsunami Research, part of NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
Researchers created computer simulations to show what could happen if a magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck in the Puerto Rico Trench.
The model, developed by NOAA’s National Center for Tsunami Research, shows how tsunami waves could travel across the Atlantic and affect the US East Coast.
The shape of the ocean floor plays a major role in how tsunami waves move.
Underwater ridges and slopes can steer wave energy, sometimes focusing it toward specific coastlines.
In this simulation, scientists selected an earthquake location designed to demonstrate how widely tsunami waves could spread along the East Coast, with particular attention given to potential flooding risks in Virginia.
The model showed how the waves would rise and fall as they traveled across the Atlantic Ocean.
In some areas, the water level was projected to rise by more than about four inches above normal sea level, while in others it dropped by more than four inches below normal levels.
Additional wave movements were smaller, with water levels shifting by up to about four inches above or below normal sea level as the tsunami continued moving toward the coastline.

Not just gasoline: Rising costs from Iran conflict will impact food, plastics and electronics
The Strait of Hormuz is an artery through which oil, natural gas, petrochemicals and nitrogen fertilizers flow. Just about every consumer product will be more expensive with increased costs of diesel, gasoline, fertilizers, plastics and helium, all of which require oil products. How high prices go and what the impact will be on the economy will depend on how long the conflict continues, and its eventual outcome.
The markets reflect a feeling that there will be no immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway off the coast of Iran through which 20% of the world’s oil flows.
The situation will impact prices of almost every consumer product manufactured, though how much and when remain a matter of speculation. Here’s a look at some of the primary goods that will see price increases in the coming days.
Trump: "We don’t need it"
In his speech, Trump tried to assure the U.S. that we produce enough energy to satisfy demand. "We produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. And we're in great shape for the future. The U.S. imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won't be taking any in the future. We don't need it,” the president said.
While the U.S. produces a lot of oil and imports very little oil from the Middle East, Americans will be competing with global demand. Major restrictions on supply anywhere in the world impact prices everywhere.
Every consumer product is produced by millions of supply chains stretching across hundreds of countries. While wind and solar supplies about 15% of the electricity generated worldwide, electricity is only about 21% of the total energy consumed. The bulk of it is industry and transportation, so those supply chains are powered almost entirely by fossil fuels.
Besides the energy powering those supply chains, countless products are derived from oil and natural gas. That means there’s really no product that won’t, to some degree, be impacted by rising oil prices.
Gasoline and diesel pricesAverage gasoline prices in the U.S. were at $4.08 on Thursday, according to AAA. This was more than $1 higher than they were a month ago when the conflict in Iran had just begun. Diesel prices were at $5.51 on Thursday. The highest recorded AAA price for diesel was $5.81, set on June 19, 2022.
Diesel is the primary fuel for industrial transportation. It powers public transportation and some cars and light trucks, but also freight and delivery trucks, military vehicles, fishing boats and farm equipment.
Relying on national security as a basis, the Trump administration has been taking steps to increase production, including restarting oil platforms in California against the state policies that seek to eliminate the industry. The administration also voted to exempt oil and gas operations in the Gulf of America from the Endangered Species Act in order to prevent environmental groups from using litigation to further restrict supply.
During a press conference earlier this month, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell touched upon the economic impacts rising diesel prices will have.
“I think it’s a more general concern than that. It’s diesel prices because that’s transportation of food and things like that. There are just lots of ways that oil and derivatives of oil get into the production and transportation of many, many things,” Powell said.
Fertilizers and foodOn top of the rising diesel costs that are a sizable cost to agriculture operations, farmers are also getting hit by rising fertilizer prices.
Nitrogen fertilizer starts out as natural gas, and through the Haber-Bosch process, the gas is converted into ammonia. The ammonia is then made into urea and other nitrogen products. Nearly half of the global exports of urea and 30% of the global exports of ammonia flow through the Strait of Hormuz.
Middle East countries produced 10 million metric tons of ammonia-based fertilizers in 2023, according to the Energy Policy Research Foundation. All of that is virtually at a standstill, as there aren’t really any alternative routes for the products to take.
Farmers were already facing a tough economic environment, but the double hit to their costs from diesel and fertilizer is going to make it hard for many to turn a profit from their crops this year.
This will ultimately impact food prices down the line.
Plastics and electronicsPlastics are found in everything from packaging to automobiles. The conflict is driving up the cost of feedstocks used to make plastics, including ethane, which is made from natural gas, and naphtha, which is made from crude oil.
Annually, about $20 billion to $25 billion in petrochemical products pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported. In 2025, over 40% of polyethylene, a polymer used in packaging, came out of the Middle East. That supply ships to regions outside North America, but like oil, these commodities are traded globally.
Helium is produced in trace amounts as a byproduct of natural gas production. It’s vital to the production of semiconductors, flat-screen televisions and monitors, fiber optic cables and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It’s also used in the propulsion of rockets, according to the Energy Research Policy Foundation. Qatar produces 35% of the global supply of helium, behind the U.S., which supplies 44% of the global supply.
The global demand for helium is also being driven up by AI and the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which is boosting U.S. domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Global helium demand, according to the Energy Research Policy Foundation, is projected to rise 6% annually through 2030.
With Qatar’s helium supplies cut off from the world, prices have doubled and could surge even higher.
There’s really no consumer product that won’t be impacted by the conflict in Iran. How high prices go and what the impact will be on the greater economy will depend on how long the conflict continues, and its eventual outcome.

Iran claims to have attacked Dubai Oracle data center
Apr 2, 2026
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked Oracle’s data center in Dubai on Thursday, according to state media. Dubai’s media office, however, denied this claim later that day.
Also on Thursday, two drones targeted a US diplomatic facility near Baghdad Airport in Iraq, security sources said.
Earlier on Thursday, the IRGC attacked an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain, “in retaliation for attacks on Iran,” according to reports by the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) on Thursday.
The site had been damaged on Wednesday after an Iranian strike, the Financial Times reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said earlier on Wednesday that civil defense teams were extinguishing a fire at a company facility following what authorities described as an Iranian attack.

'Gates of hell for you': Iran fires back at Trump’s threat
Iran’s central military command rejects Trump’s 48-hour threat to destroy its infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed, branding the warning “helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid".

1 minutesIran’s central military command on Saturday rejected US President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy Iran’s vital infrastructure if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
Trump had posted a warning to Truth Social, writing, "Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!"
General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi later said in a statement quoted by AFP that Trump’s threat was “a helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid action".
He further warned that “the simple meaning of this message is that the gates of hell will open for you".
Since the start of the current conflict, Iran has effectively closed or severely impeded the Strait of Hormuz by declaring it "closed," threatening attacks on commercial vessels, deploying assets like fast boats, drones, missiles, and laying some naval mines.
On Wednesday, Trump claimed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has asked the US for a ceasefire.
"Iran’s new regime president, much less radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!" the President announced on Truth Social.
Trump set a condition for the ceasefire: "We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!"
Iran denied Trump’s claim, with its Foreign Ministry calling it "false and baseless."

In a separate statement, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps declared that the Strait of Hormuz "is firmly and decisively under the control" of its forces.
"This strait will not be opened to the enemies of this nation through the ridiculous spectacle by the president of the United States," it added.

BREAKING: Major Explosions Reported at Iranian Petrochemical Site
by Raw Egg Nationalist April 4th, 2026 10:58 AM
Massive explosions have been reported at an important petrochemical zone in Iran’s Khuzestan province this morning.
Iranian state media is reporting casualties and significant damage at the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Zone.
The Times of Israel reports that the strikes were carried out by the Israeli air force.
Israel’s leadership is reported to have instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to begin targeting “economic targets” in Iran, in a bid to case “massive financial damage” to the regime.
Last weekend, President Trump reiterated his threat to attack Iran’s infrastructure, including energy facilities, if the Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened.
In a post on Truth Social, the President said, “The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran.”
He continued by hailing the “great progress” that has been made, but issued a stern warning that went beyond earlier threats to attack critical infrastructure that had previously been spared.
“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched.’”
President Trump ended his post by saying these actions would be “in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year ‘Reign of Terror.’”
This is a developing story: Infowars will provide updates as soon as they become available.

About half of Iran's ballistic missile launchers remain intact - report
According to CNN, US intelligence assessments indicate thousands of UAVs remain in the hands of the Iranian regime, including "missile cities" that remain buried under rubble from attacks
i24NEWS
About half of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers remain intact, along with thousands of UAVs, despite more than a month of joint US and Israeli military operations, according to a CNN report published overnight Friday citing three sources familiar with US intelligence assessments.
One source told the outlet that Iran is “still well prepared to wreak complete havoc throughout the region.” The report noted that some of the remaining launchers may be inaccessible, including those stored in underground “missile cities” that were not struck during the campaign.
According to two of the sources, US intelligence estimates that roughly 50 percent of Iran’s UAV capabilities are still intact. A significant portion of the country’s coastal defense cruise missiles also remains untouched, consistent with the US military’s limited focus on coastal assets during the operation.
The report comes as questions persist over the extent of damage to Iran’s long-range missile capabilities. Intercontinental missile systems, considered a key target of the campaign, have not been fully neutralized. These capabilities were demonstrated recently with a launch toward Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, a distance of approximately 4,000 kilometers. The missiles, believed to be of the Khorramshahr type, are assessed to have the range to reach much of Europe.
The findings highlight the continued threat posed by Iran’s strategic weapons arsenal, even after sustained military strikes. They also underscore the complexity of targeting hardened and dispersed systems, particularly those located underground or outside primary strike zones.
The report follows comments earlier this week by US President Donald Trump, who said he intends to withdraw American forces from Iran “very soon — within two to three weeks.” Trump said the campaign had improved US security, adding that “the citizens of the United States now feel safer.”

Strong 5.1-magnitude earthquake strikes south of San Francisco
By SABRINA PENTY, FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Published: 05:02 EDT, 2 April 2026 | Updated: 05:25 EDT, 2 April 2026
A powerful magnitude 5 earthquake rattled San Francisco this morning, shaking residents awake.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake was at a depth of 5.59 miles, and was centred near Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz mountains.
The strong tremor was felt across the Bay Area at around 1.45am, with people receiving alerts on their phones.
There were no immediate reports of damage, although violent shaking was felt across the region, including in San Francisco, Oakland and Petaluma.
The earthquake was originally reported as a 5.1 magnitude but was then revised to 4.9.
No injuries have been reported.
A ShakeAlert was sent to phones warning of the tremor as it hit.
The service, widely used on the West Coast, where earthquakes are common, provides people with an immediate warning before a quake hits.
The USGS warned of a potential aftershock with a 3.0 magnitude.
It comes a month after a series of small earthquakes rattled the San Francisco Bay Area.
The quakes struck on February 2, with the most powerful reaching a magnitude of 4.2, just south of San Ramon.
At least a dozen other smaller quakes struck in the same area starting around 6:30 a.m. and continuing for more than an hour.
The area east of San Francisco has experienced earthquake swarms — when multiple small magnitude earthquakes strike over a short period of time — for decades, according to seismology experts.
Big quakes in the Bay Area are typically due to major faults, including the Hayward and San Andreas, which runs along the Northern California coast before moving inland.
Shaking was felt more than 30 miles away in San Francisco and across the East Bay cities of Oakland and Richmond.
Earthquake swarms have hit the area multiple times in recent months.
The Contra Costa County area recorded 87 quakes at magnitude 2 or above in November and December, according to a San Francisco Chronicle analysis of USGS data last month.
This is a breaking news story, more to follow.

NATO has Collapsed
Hal Turner World April 02, 2026 Hits: 29249
In the last 72 hours, NATO has - factually - collapsed:
France: Blocked US military overflight for weapons to Israel — FIRST TIME since war began Feb 28. Israel cut ALL defense procurement from France.
Italy: Denied Sigonella air base landing to US bombers. Defense Minister said relations are "solid and loyal." DAYS after blocking US planes.
Spain: Closed ENTIRE airspace to US operations. Blocked Naval Station Rota AND Mor
ón Air Base. PM Sánchez called it "not NATO collective defense."Poland: Refused to redeploy Patriot batteries. US burned through 1,200+ interceptors in 16 days. Poland said no.
Switzerland: Denied 2 US reconnaissance flights. Suspended $120,000,000 in weapons exports under "neutrality laws."
UK: PM said "this is not our war." Trump told them to "build up some delayed courage."
Germany: President Steinmeier called war "possibly illegal." WHILE hosting Ramstein — largest US base outside America.
That is: France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, UK, and Germany.
All in ONE week.
When this many allies abandon you at once, it's not a disagreement. It's a collapse.
Hal Turner Analysis
So, the Europeans have made their positions clear, I think it is time for the US to do so as well.
I think we should immediately begin recalling our troops home from Europe; the ones on the Front Line of Russia, first.
Bring home the troops, the tanks, the armored personnel carriers, the self-propelled artillery, the air defense systems and missile supplies, other weapons systems, ALL OF IT. Leave nothing of ours in Europe.
Permanently.
Europe thinks its one of the big boys? Fine. Let them defend themselves. Permanently.
We don't have to "leave NATO" by withdrawing from the Treaty - and thereby give the morons in Congress a say -- we can just remove all our troops and equipment and Congress has no power to say anything at all. It is the President, and the President alone who is commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
Congress may have given itself a role in the U.S. potentially leaving the NATO Treaty, but Congress has no say whatsoever in what type and amounts of troops or weapons the Commander-in-Chief decides to leave in Europe. NO. Congress has no say at all.
Start pulling the troops out today.

Trump didn’t wreck NATO — he just exposed its anti-US hypocrisy
By Victor Davis Hanson
Published April 3, 2026, 5:00 a.m. ETNATO members are not legally required to join another member’s military operation that isn’t formally sanctioned by the alliance or aimed at protecting the membership’s homelands.
But they often do just that.
Some NATO members joined the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq, on the theory that the Taliban and Saddam Hussein were dangers to all Western security in the post-9/11 environment.
They followed the precedent set by America’s 1999 intervention in the distant Balkans, when it led a three-month NATO campaign to dismantle Slobodan Milosevic’s often bloody ambition to establish a Greater Serbia.
The US also joined the 2011 UN-approved, French- and British-inspired “coalition of the willing” bombing campaign in Libya.
That effort proved a seven-month misadventure — especially since the targeted Libyan strongman Moammar Khadafy had given up his nuclear weapons program and was desperately trying to cut a deal with the West.
When NATO members in the past have operated unilaterally to defend their own national interests, they have often called on the United States, as NATO’s strongest member, for overt help.
For nearly 40 years, the US offered logistical, intelligence, reconnaissance, refueling and diplomatic support to the French in their postcolonial efforts to protect Chad from Libya and, later, Islamists.
During the 1982 Falklands War, a solitary Britain faced enormous logistical challenges in steaming halfway around the world to eject Argentina from its windswept and sparse islands.
American aid was critical to the effort: The United States stepped up to help with intelligence, reconnaissance, the supply of some 2 million gallons of much-needed gasoline and crucial restocking of Britain’s depleted Tomahawk missiles.
The assistance prompted anger from most Latin American nations of the shared Western hemisphere, as well as from many Hispanic American citizens at home.
No matter — President Ronald Reagan rightly saw the importance of solidarity with a NATO member and a longtime US ally.
So he gave Britain a veritable blank check for Washington’s aid.
Currently, President Donald Trump has not asked NATO members to help bomb Iran — even though Europe, not the US, was in range of Iran’s ballistic missiles, and soon perhaps nuclear-tipped ones as well.
Europeans are far more vulnerable to Iranian-inspired Islamic terrorism.
They are more reliant on oil from the Middle East, some of it passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
All the US had initially requested was basing support in disarming a common Western enemy that, for nearly half a century, has slaughtered American diplomats and soldiers and tried to kill an American president and secretary of state.
But most NATO members could not even offer tacit help.
Some damned the US effort as either illegal or unnecessary.
The American public watched the British waffle for days over permitting the US to use their Diego Garcia airbase.
The Spanish banned American use of their NATO bases and airspace.
The Italians refused a request from American bombers to land and refuel at a Sicilian NATO base.
Many NATO heads of state rebuked the United States to their domestic audiences while, in typical two-faced fashion, publicly offering empty verbal support for the US campaign.
The NATO response to an Iranian missile aimed at fellow NATO member Turkey was anemic.
Even worse was the pathetic British reaction to another Iranian missile launched at a British base at Akrotiri, Cyprus.
Yet neutering a theocratic Iran is clearly of benefit to Europe.
So is preventing the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz from becoming a tollbooth run by the Iranian regime.
Such passivity stood in sharp contrast to the five-year-long Ukraine War on Europe’ border.
Ukraine is not a NATO member.
Nonetheless, Europeans made urgent requests for the US to honor the spirit of NATO solidarity and help protect Europe’s territorial integrity.
Yet continental Europe is not intrinsically weak.
The combined population of the European Union and European NATO members is around 450 million — more than 100 million greater than that of the United States.
These same European nations enjoy an aggregate annual GDP of more than $22 trillion, 10 times the size of the Russian economy.
European diffidence comes on top of Trump’s perennial effort to harangue NATO members into honoring their commitments to spend 2% of GDP on defense — especially in the case of deadbeat Spain and Canada, which for years have welched on their pledges.
Trump’s rhetoric is not what has undermined NATO.
Instead, he ripped off a happy-face scab and exposed a festering wound of increasingly anti-American hypocrisy beneath.
If you wanted to wreck the alliance, there would be no better way than to follow the duplicitous example of Western Europe’s NATO members.

Chicago Bulls just fired Jaden Ivey for being Christian
By Isaac Beck, Op-ed contributor Wednesday, April 01, 2026
The Chicago Bulls have a message to their Christian fanbase: your faith is welcome only if you keep it quiet and compliant.
On March 30, the Bulls waived guard Jaden Ivey, citing “conduct detrimental to the team.” They did so not because of the season-ending injury he incurred. Not for poor performance before that. Not even because he refused to play or disrupted team activities. Ivey had already been shut down for the season with a knee injury just four days prior. Instead, Ivey did the unthinkable: He dared to speak openly about his Christian faith on his own personal social media accounts.
Ivey is no marginal talent scraping by in the G-League. He is a former four-star high school prospect who attended Catholic Marian High School in Indiana before transferring to powerhouse La Lumiere.
A high school phenom, he chose Purdue over offers from Notre Dame and small school powerhouse Butler University. He was selected fifth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons. He’s even a gold medalist, having won the medal with Team USA in the 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup. In the NBA, he has consistently averaged nearly 15 points per game while ranking among the league leaders in scoring efficiency, playmaking and ball-handling for his position. This is a young man who can compete with the best of them and do so at the highest level.
More importantly, he knows where he stands with his faith. Ivey has been transparent about his journey, including overcoming struggles with addiction before placing his trust fully in Jesus Christ. On his personal Instagram pages, JEDI (Jaden Edward Dhananjay Ivey) went live reading Scripture, preaching salvation through Christ alone, and addressing the culture around him. He stated plainly what the Bible teaches: that God designed marriage and sexuality for one man and one woman, and that celebrating what Scripture calls unrighteousness is incompatible with following Jesus. He did not make these statements on the court, in the locker room, or during any team-mandated event. He spoke as a private citizen on his own time and platform.
In turn, the Bulls responded within hours by waiving/firing the basketball star. They claim it’s for “conduct detrimental to the team.” Make no mistake, this is a direct affront to Christians who hold to traditional biblical theology. In today’s NBA, vague post-game thanks to “God” or a cross tattoo might be tolerated. Have the courage to articulate what the Bible actually says about human sexuality, sin and repentance? That crosses the line into “conduct detrimental.”
This should alarm every believer, basketball fan or not. For years now, the NBA has aggressively pushed a series of woke agendas, turning its courts, jerseys and platforms into vehicles for far-left progressive orthodoxy. During the 2020 season restart, the league painted “Black Lives Matter” on both sides of every court, allowed players to replace their names on jerseys with social justice slogans, and encouraged kneeling during the national anthem. All of which was coordinated in league-wide solidarity. Teams wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts, and the entire enterprise was celebrated as courageous activism.
Year after year, the NBA has gone even further with LGBT pride month. The league marches in New York City pride parades, adorns arenas with rainbow logos, hosts Pride Nights, and promotes institutional affirmation of LGBT lifestyles. These initiatives are not private opinions. They are top-to-bottom corporate campaigns designed to weave ever so blatantly into the very fabric of the game.
Yet when a young player like Jaden Ivey uses his own personal social platform to confess biblical truth and dissent from league orthodoxy, the response was immediate termination. The double standard could not be clearer. The NBA welcomes, amplifies and institutionalizes certain ideological messages while treating traditional Christian convictions as toxic and potentially career-ending. One can give God a blanket thanksgiving at a post-game press conference, but if you reference personal transformation or a reality check on sin, pack your bags.
Even more telling was head coach Billy Donovan’s response. Rather than addressing Ivey’s actual statements, Donovan expressed concern that the young man might be struggling mentally. He stated, “Mental health is a real issue ... I’m not passing judgment on what Jaden is or is not going through, but I do know that I always worry about that, not only for Jaden but for all of our players.”
In other words, publicly confessing biblical truth on social media is now being framed as a potential sign of mental instability. When a Christian athlete shares from his faith, the league’s response is not honest disagreement but an insinuation that something must be wrong with his mind.
The Chicago Bulls, and potentially the NBA, have made their priorities plain. They will bend over backward to accommodate and promote leftist social agendas, but biblical Christianity must be silenced. Christians who take Scripture seriously on matters of sexuality, marriage and repentance are increasingly told their faith belongs in the closet.
Jaden Ivey chose faithfulness over compliance. Believers should pray for him as he enters free agency and recognize this situation for what it is: a flagrant foul on the court of American culture. When professional sports organizations punish athletes for off-court fidelity to Christ, the message to millions of Christian fans should be unmistakable: you aren’t welcome.

Chemical weapons development center targeted at Iranian university
The IRGC’s Imam Hossein University in Tehran was also used to develop ballistic missiles, says IDF spokesperson.
Yaakov Lappin Apr 1, 2026 at 10:15 am
(JNS) Following intensive Israeli Air Force strikes in recent days targeting weapons-critical research and development facilities embedded deep within the Islamic Republic, military sources on Monday highlighted the Iranian regime’s systematic use of academic and civilian infrastructure to shield its military and weapons production programs—including a chemical weapons research site.
IDF International Spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani detailed the massive scope of recent aerial operations across Iran, confirming that the military successfully targeted highly sensitive components of the Iranian war machine, particularly its weapons research, development and production sites.
“Recently, we struck terrorist infrastructure within the IRGC’s main military university, Imam Hossein University, located in the heart of Tehran,” Shoshani revealed. The Israeli military confirmed that the regime utilizes this location as a primary development center. “Under a civilian suburb, this institution serves as a research hub for advanced weaponry, and an emergency asset for the regime’s military bodies sanctioned by several countries,” he explained.
Shoshani provided details of the targets hidden within the university, naming them as “wind tunnels used by the regime for testing and developing ballistic missiles, a chemistry center used for research and development of chemical weapons, a technology and engineering center, [and] a central complex used for the development of ballistic missiles and additional weapons systems.”
The military emphasized the direct integration of this academic institution into the highest echelons of the Iranian terror apparatus. “This so called university is commanded by Muhammad Reza Ahangar, a senior IRGC officer holding the rank equivalent to a brigadier general,” Shoshani stated.
The strike on Imam Hossein University is part of a broader campaign to degrade the regime’s war machine. “Over the past 24 hours, we struck 170 targets belonging to the Iranian terrorist regime,” Shoshani reported. The targeting focused heavily on the regime’s production pipelines. The strikes hit “a central site used to produce key components for a variety of weapons in Iran,” he added. The operation also neutralized “sites used for production of UAV engines, [and] an industrial complex where components for weapons were developed and a research and development site,” Shoshani noted. “We continue our operations over Iranian skies against the Iranian terror regime to degrade their military capabilities and reduce their ability to pose a threat towards Israel.”
Shoshani noted that IDF Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir recently hosted US CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper. “During his visit, the commanders discussed the importance of the cooperation between the military and the operations against the Iran,” Shoshani stated. “This coordination between IDF and our American counterparts remain unprecedentedly close and aligned,” he noted.
Despite the intense military pressure, he added, “We see continuous fire from Iran towards Israel, including the use of cluster bombs. This a regime that has intended and attempted to kill thousands of Israeli civilians.”
Simultaneously, the IDF is engaged in intense combat against Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon. The military announced the deaths of four IDF soldiers from the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance battalion during operational activity in the region.
“We have seen attacks on the ground against our troops, and we’ve seen nonstop fire towards Israel,” Shoshani stated. “We’ve seen thousands of UAVs, missiles, and rockets by Hezbollah from Lebanon towards Israel,” he noted, estimating the total number of projectiles to be between 4,000 and 5,000.
The IDF’s ground operations aim to physically dismantle the terror infrastructure threatening northern Israel and strengthen the IDF’s forward defense posture, pushing the threat away from northern Israeli communities. Shoshani reported the neutralization of 180 Hezbollah missile launchers, and some 850 Hezbollah terrorists, including 230 from the organization’s Radwan Force. The IDF has also dismantled hundreds of Hezbollah command centers.
“Yesterday, we eliminated in Beirut senior commanders of the unit responsible for coordinating between Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist organizations across the Middle East,” Shoshani stated. The strikes targeted senior members of Hezbollah’s Unit 1800, which managed the transfer of operatives to combat IDF troops in southern Lebanon and oversaw coordination with Palestinian terror organizations in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Judea, and Samaria.
“Hezbollah… are systematically using civilian cover and infrastructure to conceal their military activity,” Shoshani stated. The terror group utilizes schools, churches, and civilian villages to shield its operations. “This is not incidental, this is their strategy,” he stressed.

Trump plots dramatic Greenland military push with special forces and Navy set to DEPLOY... as buried pact opens the door
By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, US POLITICAL REPORTER
Published: 15:48 EDT, 1 April 2026 | Updated: 04:15 EDT, 2 April 2026
US military planners are pushing ahead to secure additional access to Greenland, the latest sign of Donald Trump's sustained strategic interest in the Danish island.
The Pentagon and State Department are negotiating with Denmark for a 'permanent presence' at three additional bases in Greenland, General Gregory Guillot told Congress in mid-March.
Guillot heads US Northern Command, which is responsible for defending the US homeland, Canada and Mexico.
Trump has warned that 'Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China,' and that Moscow and Beijing's vessels regularly transit off the coast of Greenland, as Arctic warming has opened up new routes that were frozen over.
Guillot confirmed at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that negotiations with Denmark are moving ahead, with the US seeking 'increased access to different bases across Greenland.'
The US is negotiating access to three Greenland bases, two of them long-abandoned by American forces. Only one outpost is currently active: Pituffik Space Base, a remote missile defense installation staffed by a few hundred troops.
The structure of the agreement is still being worked on, a White House official told the Daily Mail. 'We are very optimistic that we're on a good trajectory,' the official added.
Guillot told the Senate he wants broader access to bring special forces and Navy assets permanently to the island as its geopolitical significance grows.
'What we have now is access to a particular air base [Pituffik] in the northern part of Greenland which gives us some of the fighter and tanker capability and a lot of space capability, but we don't have a permanent presence for [special operations forces] and then we don't have a permanent presence for some of the maritime capabilities that I need.'
'I'm working with our department and others to try to develop more ports, more airfields, which leads to more options for our secretary and for the president, should we need them up in the Arctic,' Guillot added.
Trump has repeatedly insisted he wants to wrest control of Greenland from Denmark, a wrinkle that may yet complicate the negotiations.
The President has insisted US control of Greenland is a national security imperative, and has threatened to use military force to take it before pulling back.
A 1951 Danish-American defense agreement is central to the negotiations as it gives sweeping access to the US military in Greenland.
'We don't really need a new treaty. It's very comprehensive, and it's frankly very favorable to our operations or potential operations in Greenland,' Guillot told lawmakers.
The US is seeking access to Narsarsuaq, a southern Greenland town with a deep-water port, and Kangerlussuaq in the southwest, which has a runway capable of handling large US aircraft, Northern Command spokeswoman Lieutenant Commander Teresa Meadows said.
The third location the US is vying for has not been publicly disclosed.
Both Narsarsuaq and Kangerlussuaq were American bases used during WWII and the Cold War before US forces abandoned them and returned them to local authorities.

Marco Rubio pledges to ‘reexamine’ NATO membership after US denied access to European military bases for Iran war: ‘One way street’
By Victor Nava
Published March 31, 2026, 10:50 p.m. ET
Secretary of State Marco Rubio questioned the value of NATO Tuesday night after European allies blocked the US military from using their bases and airspace to launch attacks on Iran.
Rubio, who recalled that as a senator he was “one of the strongest defenders” of NATO, told Fox News host Sean Hannity that membership in the transatlantic alliance would be “reexamined” after the Iran war.
“If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means we can’t use those bases to defend America’s interests, then NATO is a one way street,” the top US diplomat lamented.
“If NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no – then why are we in NATO?”
Rubio said the decision over whether the US remains in NATO will ultimately be made by President Trump, a longtime critic of the alliance.
“So I think there’s no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to reexamine that relationship,” Rubio said.
During a cabinet meeting last week, Trump described the war against Tehran as a loyalty “test” and ripped Europeans for failing to step up.
“They weren’t there,” he said of the NATO allies. “So if there’s ever a big one … I don’t think they’re going to be there.”
Trump has also blasted European countries for failing to help the US reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian attacks on shipping vessels in the critical waterway.
The president has signaled that the responsibility for ensuring the safe passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz may soon fall solely on Europe.
“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”
Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, giving a press conference.
Meanwhile, ahead of Trump’s planned Wednesday primetime address on the Iran war, Rubio signaled that the US can “see the finish line.”
“We were going to destroy their air force. We have largely done that. We were going to destroy their navy, which we have largely achieved. We were going to destroy a significant percentage of their missile launchers. We are well on our way to achieving that. And we were going to wipe out their defense industrial base, meaning the factories that make the drones and the missiles. We are on our way to doing that,” Rubio said outlining the four military objectives in the war.
“We are on or ahead of schedule on each of those four objectives and we can see the finish line. It’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, but it is coming.”

Disgraced Texas megachurch pastor free after 6 months in jail for sexually abusing 12-year-old girl: ‘I am deeply sorry’
By Jared Downing Published March 31, 2026, 9:59 p.m. ET
The disgraced pastor of a Texas megachurch who served a six-month stint for sexually abusing a child in the 1980s was released from jail Tuesday.
Robert Preston Morris, 64, was set free just after midnight from the Oklahoma prison where he was sentenced to in October, according to Osage County Sheriff’s Capt. Matt Clark.
Morris must register as a sex offender and will be supervised by Texas authorities. He also was ordered to pay his costs of incarceration, including any medical expenses, and restitution to the victim, Cindy Clemishire.
Clemishire did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Post’s request for comment, but said in a statement when Morris was sentenced that “justice has finally been served, and the man who manipulated, groomed and abused me as a 12-year-old innocent girl is finally going to be behind bars.”
Jeff Leach, a Dallas-based attorney who represents Clemishire, now in her 50s, said in a statement they are “heartened to know that he (Morris) still has nearly ten years of probation as well as a lifetime ahead of being publicly registered as a sex offender.”
Morris was indicted last year by an Oklahoma grand jury. He later pleaded guilty to five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child for a four-year pattern of sick abuse against a Clemishire, of Kansas, when she was just 12 years old.
Morris received a 10-year suspended sentence with the first six months to be served in the Osage County Jail.
The horrific acts of abuse began in 1982, when Morris was a traveling evangelist staying in Hominy, Oklahoma with Clemishire’s family, according to Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, whose office prosecuted the case.
In the intervening years, Morris rose in fame and fortune — founding the Gateway Church in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Southlake in 2000, which became one of the nation’s largest megachurches.
But the creep resigned as its senior pastor in June 2024, when the accusations of abuse were made public.
In a statement released Tuesday by one of Morris’ attorneys, Bill Mateja, he apologized to Clemishire and her family and praised them for coming forward.
“What I did to Cindy decades ago was wrong. There is no other word for it, and there is no excuse for it. I am deeply sorry,” Morris said.
“Many years ago, I sought their forgiveness privately, and as Cindy’s father recently noted, he extended that grace to me — a grace I did not deserve and have never taken for granted.”
Clemishire, meanwhile, plans to continue to seek justice through civil courts, Leach said.
“She rightfully seeks full accountability not only for Robert and the crimes he committed against her as a young child, but also for the other individuals who harbored him, covered for him, lied for him and even in some cases attacked Cindy on his behalf,” he said.
Morris has been politically active and formerly served on President Trump’s evangelical advisory board.

UAE considers military role to reopen Strait of Hormuz by force - report
Emirati officials push for a UN resolution and coalition action as Iranian attacks on its territory escalate and global shipping is at risk
i24NEWS
The United Arab Emirates is preparing to support potential military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to Arab officials cited in a WSJ report, marking a significant shift that could make it the first Gulf state to take a direct combat role following Iranian attacks. The move comes as concerns grow over global energy supplies and maritime security in one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes.
Officials said the UAE is lobbying for a United Nations Security Council resolution that would authorize the use of force to secure the strait. Emirati diplomats have also urged the United States and allied powers in Europe and Asia to form a coalition to reopen the waterway. An Emirati official said Tehran “thinks it is fighting for its existence and is willing to bring the global economy down with it in a chokehold on the strait.”
The UAE is reviewing options for a direct military role, including mine-clearing operations and other forms of logistical and operational support. Arab officials added that the Gulf state has proposed that the US take control of strategic islands in the waterway, including Abu Musa, which is controlled by Iran but claimed by the UAE.
In a statement, the Emirati Foreign Ministry pointed to a separate UN resolution condemning Iranian attacks on its cities, as well as a decision by the International Maritime Organization criticizing the closure of the strait. The ministry said there is “broad global consensus that freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must be preserved.”
Iran has intensified its military response in recent days, sharply increasing missile and drone attacks on the UAE after weeks of lower-level strikes. According to Arab officials, nearly 50 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones were launched at the Emirates on Tuesday alone. Tehran has warned it would target critical civilian infrastructure in any Gulf state supporting efforts against it, specifically naming the UAE. Officials added that Iran has launched nearly 2,500 missiles and drones at the UAE since the start of the conflict, more than at any other country, including Israel.
Regional dynamics are also shifting. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are increasingly aligning against Iran, with officials indicating support for continued military pressure, though most have not committed forces. Bahrain is sponsoring the proposed UN resolution, with a vote expected Thursday.
The UAE’s position represents a departure from its previous approach, which emphasized economic ties and diplomatic engagement with Iran. Gulf officials said that prior to the outbreak of war on February 28, the UAE viewed Iran as a difficult but rational actor. However, they said recent attacks, including strikes targeting hotels and airports in Dubai, have altered that assessment. Despite long avoiding a formal combat role, the UAE is now reconsidering its posture as it weighs participation in efforts to secure the strait and counter Iranian actions.

Why Are So Many Meteors Suddenly Streaking Across America’s Skies?
March 31, 2026
Should we be concerned about the large fireballs that have been flying through our skies in recent weeks? I have been writing so much about the war in the Middle East that I haven’t given this fireball swarm the attention that it deserves. Over and over again, people have been capturing footage of meteors streaking across our atmosphere. NASA is insisting that we have absolutely nothing to be alarmed about, but other experts are not so sure.
Whenever we see unusual events in the heavens, people are going to start asking questions. According to the Daily Mail, the unprecedented fireball swarm that we witnessed during the month of March has been “sparking concerns about a potentially city-killing asteroid striking the planet and questions about these objects being UFOs”…
Earth has seen a mysterious surge in massive fireballs lighting up the sky, sparking concerns about a potentially city-killing asteroid striking the planet and questions about these objects being UFOs.
The American Meteor Society (AMS), a nonprofit group that has been tracking meteor sightings for over a century, revealed that there have been more reports of fireballs in the first three months of 2026 than in the first quarter of any year dating back to 2011.
Nobody denies that people are reporting meteors more frequently than we have ever seen before.
And on Saturday night there was another major incident in the skies above Washington, Oregon and British Columbia…
Over 100 people in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia have reported seeing a “bright fireball” on Saturday night, according to NASA and the American Meteor Society.
The sighting makes it the third sighting in Washington in March.
According to NASA, analysis of these reports and videos suggest the fireball became visible around 50 miles above the town of Wilkeson before disintegrating 30 miles above Wauna in Pierce County around 8:34 p.m.
One large fireball would not be a big deal at all.
But there have been so many over the past month.
For example, hundreds of people witnessed a green fireball flying over California on March 22nd, and on March 23rd a different green fireball was spotted flying over southern Oregon…
On March 22, hundreds of people saw a green meteor flash across the night sky above central California around 8:19 p.m., according to NASA. Early the next morning, around 6:07 a.m., residents in the Pacific Northwest witnessed another one flying above southern Oregon, per the agency.
“It was bright, it was green, it was spectacular,” says Jim Todd, director of space science education at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, to the Associated Press’ Claire Rush, describing the second event. “One tiny little piece of rock put on such a show.”
Scientists believe that these particular fireballs were green because they contained either magnesium or nickel…
The meteors above California and Oregon were likely green because of certain elements within them, reports the AP. When heated, magnesium produces blue-green light, and nickel can also emit green. Eyewitnesses of the California fireball noted that it changed colors—looking blue, green, red and orange—as it moved through the sky, per the San Luis Obispo Tribune’s Kaytlyn Leslie.
The day before the green fireball above California was spotted, a fragment of a meteor slammed into a home in Houston, Texas, and a few days before that a 7 ton space rock that flew over Ohio and Pennsylvania created a tremendous amount of buzz…
On March 17, a daytime event over Ohio and Pennsylvania involved an object estimated at about 2 m (6.5 feet) in diameter and about 7 tons in mass, with an energy release of roughly 250 tons of TNT. Meteorites recovered from that event were identified as eucrites.
On March 21, a meteoroid of about 1 ton broke apart over the Houston metropolitan area, producing an airburst of about 26 tons of TNT, sonic booms, and at least one meteorite fragment that penetrated the roof of a home in Ponderosa Forest.
I can’t remember a time when meteors have made so much news.
According to Mike Hankey of the American Meteor Society, we really did witness an “unprecedented concentration of major fireballs” during the month of March…
There were about 2,046 individual reported meteor events; 38 events that involved 50 or more reports and 14 events that involved 100 or more reports, according to the AMS.
Most of the elevated activity so far in 2026 took place in March 2026, according to Hankey. In his report, he referred to the month’s sightings as an “unprecedented concentration of major fireballs.”
“It’s been really very flat and consistent for over five years,” Hankey said. “Then all of a sudden, we get this rush of reports this month, in March — didn’t start in February or really January, even.”
If January and February were so normal, what caused the sudden spike in March?
The AMS is admitting that this “warrants serious investigation”, and it is also telling us that the meteors appear to be coming from “the direction opposite the Sun”…
The American Meteor Society (AMS) reports an apparent surge in large fireball events in the first quarter of 2026, saying an analysis of its records back to 2011 reveals a pattern that “warrants serious investigation.”
“The enhanced activity is coming from a specific part of the sky—the direction opposite the Sun—at roughly double the normal density,” Mike Hankey, who wrote the analysis, told Newsweek.
But despite everything that has been happening, NASA says that we don’t have anything to worry about.
NASA is telling us that the only reason we are seeing more meteors right now is because we are in peak fireball season…
While it may seem like meteor reports and sightings have been more frequent recently, it is not out of the ordinary. In the northern hemisphere, we’re in peak “fireball season.” From February through April, the appearance rate of these very bright meteors can increase by as much as 10% to 30%, especially around the weeks of the March equinox. Exactly why is not known. Some astronomers think the Earth passes through more large debris at this time of year, causing an uptick in fireball sightings.
Another likely reason it may feel like meteor sightings are increasing is that more of us have cameras at the ready — from smartphones to doorbell cameras to dashboard cameras — making it easier than ever to capture and share these fleeting cosmic events when they happen.
Hopefully NASA is right.
Of course NASA doesn’t exactly have a stellar track record of being honest with us.
I tend to agree with the American Meteor Society.
We really should be getting to the bottom of this.
Geophysicist Stefan Burns is actually suggesting that there is “a serious risk of a large impact event occurring”…
Hopefully there will not be a “large impact event” any time soon.
But it is just a matter of time before a giant space rock with our name on it comes heading our way.
In my latest book I discussed the fact that the entire Alpha Centauri system is racing toward our solar system at a speed of approximately 79,000 miles an hour.
As the Alpha Centauri system gets closer, it is inevitable that we will begin to encounter more interstellar objects.
Oumuamua and 3I/ATLAS were just the beginning. Huge interstellar objects will enter our solar system more frequently over time, and one of these days one of them might just hit us.

Russia Sends 6 Submarines to Strait of Hormuz; Chechen Troops Assembled to Aid Iran if Invaded, as China Reportedly Preps 100,000 troops
Hal Turner World April 01, 2026 Hits: 15995
There is now confirmed presence of a Russian nuclear submarine near the Strait of Hormuz. There is also a Confirmed Announcement by Chechen Forces they will enter Iran to fight US if Invasion takes place. REPORT (unconfirmed) China to move 100,000 troops into Iran if US invades.
Moscow has officially deployed six submarines, including two nuclear ones, near the Strait of Hormuz for a discreet mission to protect Iranian infrastructure, according to reports. Their primary role is to prevent the United States and Israel from freely entering the strait or approaching the Iranian coast.
This deployment sends a strong political message to the West, signaling that any major escalation against Iran could directly involve Russia. The presence of two nuclear-armed subs also __seems__ to indicate that if Iran is hit with Nuclear weapons, another nearby country that attacks, will also be nuked.
Yesterday, Chechen Troops were publicly assembled and at that assembly it was announced they would go to Iran to fight the United States and Israel if Iran is invaded.
Late last night, I received a single report from a single source, which I am as yet UNABLE TO CONFIRM, saying China is prepping 100,000 troops from its People's Liberation Army, to enter Iran and defend it if the US invades.
President Trump is scheduled to address the nation about the Iran situation, tonight at 9:00 PM eastern time.

Celente Says Iran War’s Economic Fallout Is Catastrophic
March 31, 2026
Celente says Iran War’s economic fallout is catastrophic and it is impacting every country on earth.
April 1 (King World News) – Gerald Celente: PUBLISHER’S NOTE: In our 46 years of trend forecasting, never has there been a war that has affected the entire globe as has the war that Israel and the U.S. launched against Iran on 28 February.
And by the facts and details we published before the war began, we had warned of the dangers ahead. Now, one month later by the facts, bad times are getting much worse. Here is the latest list of socioeconomic and political damages inflicted across the globe as a result of the Iran War.
Governments, coping with record $100 trillion in debt amid a slowing economy, are struggling to find ways to help their citizens manage energy prices not seen in decades.
Before the Iran War, the U.K. had crafted a plan to slow its borrowing. Now the government has promised to further subsidize some households’ heating bills. China, Hungary, and Japan have capped gasoline prices. The U.S. state of Georgia has suspended its 33-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax.
New Zealand is doling out $120 a month to low- and middle-income households. Germany is ready to impose a windfall tax on fuel suppliers. China, South Korea, and Thailand have curtailed fuel exports.
The longer the energy shock continues, the more that governments will be pressured to help businesses and households survive it. At the same time, the shock of climbing energy prices will reignite inflation, forcing central banks to raise interest rates, which would almost certainly raise governments’ borrowing costs.
The U.S. government had expected a $1.9-trillion budget deficit this year, meaning it will borrow more than a quarter of what it plans to spend. Now the military wants an additional $200 billion to carry on the Iran War in the short term.
A prolonged Iranian war could drive France’s public debt to 130 percent of GDP and Germany’s to 80 percent, not because they are taking part in the hostilities but because their citizens are expecting government aid to cover the rising cost of essentials.
Already, the war has sent borrowing costs in Europe to their highest levels in more than a decade.
Europe stepped in to subsidize energy costs when they soared in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, the European Union banned Russian oil imports, and Russia cut off almost all natural gas exports to the continent. The aftershocks of that debt load reverberated through the post-COVID inflation struggle and continue.
“This idea that ‘whenever there’s a shock, we’ll issue more debt and not worry’ has been the policy for the last 25 years,” Harvard University economist Kenneth Rogoff told The Wall Street Journal. “The trade-offs are going to be more stark now. It doesn’t mean you don’t do it but there’s a risk of really pushing fiscal limits.”
Government bond markets already have felt that risk, having undergone a selloff earlier this month.
However, imposing fuel price controls, which China and Japan have done, runs another kind of risk, economist Ricardo Reis at the London School of Economics pointed out in a WSJ interview.
“Experience after experience throughout history has shown [capping prices] is a bad idea,” he said. “It creates an ever-growing hole in the government’s budget.”
Japan’s price ceiling on gasoline will cost the government about $16 billion if oil stays near $100 a barrel. At $120 a barrel, the cost rises to $40 billion. South Korea plans to reimburse losses for refiners and others in the fuel supply chain by imposing an AI-related tax.
Slovenia capped prices, which drew people from other countries to cross its borders and fuel up there. To stop the practice, the country has imposed gas rationing. Hungary and Slovakia are limiting gas purchases to their own citizens.
The worst of the oil shock’s damage will fall on poorer countries.
“The debt limits – the tipping point – are probably lower for developing countries,” Raghuran Rajan, former governor of India’s central bank, said to the WSJ…
IRAN WAR IS CRUSHING JAPAN’S SMALL-BUSINESS ECONOMY
Escalating oil prices are threatening to close thousands of small businesses in Japan, prevent wage increases, and raise prices across the board for consumers, the Financial Times reported. Japan imports 90 percent of its oil and natural gas.
The owner of a public bathhouse is closing the doors after 27 years in business. Oil prices are up, so the cost of hot water has risen, but the government limits prices that bathhouses can charge.
The country’s small businesses are fragmented and “behave more like households” and lack the unity to exert pricing power, the FT said.
“We don’t even know what the price will be at any given time,” the owner told the FT. “It’s constantly changing.”
“There is no Goldilocks scenario where the conflict ends and everything just snaps back to the way it was,” Stefan Angrick, a Japan economist at Moody’s Analytics, said to the FT.
Seiko Transport, a trucking company moving agricultural products across southern Japan, had scheduled workers’ raises of 3 to 5 percent for this month. Now the raises have been postponed.
Prime minister Sanae Takaichi has pledged government support for businesses. Last week, she set aside the equivalent of $5 billion to pay make up losses for fuel suppliers now that the government has capped gasoline prices at $4 per gallon.
Many gas stations have halted operations, saying they are unable to operate within the price cap.
The finance ministry has contacted financial institutions about possibly intervening in the oil futures market, according to an executive at one of Japan’s largest banks.
The government will take “all possible measures at all times on all fronts,” finance minister Satsuki Katayama told reporters. The yen had weakened last week to
¥158.5 to the U.S. dollar, making oil – which is bought and sold in U.S. dollars – even more costly.TREND FORECAST:
After the war is settled, economists and many politicians will renew their calls for austerity in government spending.
Nations will look for a mix of tax increases and spending cuts, especially in social support, to reel themselves back from the brink of insolvency. Given ongoing geopolitical strife, military budgets are unlikely to be reduced.
EUROPE CONFRONTS ITS SECOND GAS CRISIS SINCE 2021
After an unexpectedly cold winter, Europe’s natural gas reserves have fallen to 30 percent, their lowest level since spring 2022. Those reserves now must be refilled amid a global energy shock and a sudden, critical shortage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on which the continent has come to depend.
Europe began experiencing gas shortages in the fall of 2021 as Russia cut back exports to the region as a political pressure tactic. After it invaded Ukraine, Russia pared back deliveries even more sharply and the European Union sharply restricted imports of Russia’s oil.
European businesses and households lived through the resulting energy crisis on LNG from the Middle East and the U.S.
Since then, coal-fired electricity-generating plants have reopened around Europe, decommissioning of nuclear plants has been postponed, the region has boosted clean energy investment, and electric car sales are up.
However, natural gas still makes up 20 percent of the continent’s energy mix. A third of homes use it for heating.
Now Europe’s nations need to rebuild gas stocks for next winter at a time when 20 percent of the world’s LNG supplies have been shut off with Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
The 27-country European Union (EU) imports a small proportion of its LNG from the Middle East; most comes from the U.S. However, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has narrowed supplies globally, driving prices higher and availability lower around the world.
Natural gas prices in Europe are up about 70 percent since the Iran War began and, at one point, doubled briefly.
Europe began this winter with its gas reserves just 83 percent full, 12 percentage points less than the year before. One reason: the European Union suspended a rule requiring countries to refill their reserves to 90 percent before cold weather sets in each year.
Officials suspended the rule because prices rose during the summer due to the Middle East’s demand for gas to generate electricity for cooling. Prices for gas, as well as demand, should go down or at least stay level, buyers reasoned. Besides, Qatar’s expanded LNG gas complex would raise global supplies.
“There was a view that Europe didn’t need to completely top up its storage levels” because gas at reasonable prices would be available throughout the year, Natasha Fielding, head of gas pricing at research and advisory firm Argus Media, told The New York Times.
Now Iran’s missiles have shut down Qatar’s gas production and choked off a fifth of the world’s LNG supply.
Making matters worse, Europe is unable to expand gas storage. Most of it is in geologic formations such as played-out salt caverns and abandoned oil or gas wells. Greece and Ireland have no such formations. Building tanks above ground is not only expensive but takes a good deal of time, both to build the tanks and to line up gas supplies to fill them.
The EU is urging countries to fill their tanks in a “coordinated way” to avoid a repeat of 2022, when nations competed against each other for scarce gas supplies, bidding prices up to unheard-of levels. Germany spent $9.3 billion that summer to fill its reserve; Italy spent more than $7 billion.
High energy prices could curtail demand in Asia, leaving a larger supply available to Europe. However, those supplies would come “at a very high price,” gas analyst Ronald Pinto at Kpler told the NYT.
TREND FORECAST:
Probably the Iran War’s only positive outcome will be to remind nations that depending on oil and gas for energy is an unstable arrangement that periodically endangers their national economic security.
As a result, more governments – and, crucially, more consumers – will see domestically produced alternative energy as a justifiable, if not a necessary, investment.
American politicians will emphasize the need for energy sovereignty in their election campaigns this fall; European nations already are acting to boost domestic alternative energy production, as we report in “U.K. Requires Solar Panels, Heat Pumps on All New Homes” in this issue.
etc etc. and the news story continues and ends with the following below..
With some pundits advocating for price controls to fight inflation, it suddenly feels like the 1970s again. This type of overbearing intervention has never worked as marketed, something President Richard Nixon discovered in 1973 when he lifted the wage and price controls he had implemented two years earlier.
Still, to those unwilling to learn from history, such controls will always seem sensible. Inflation amounts to rising prices, they say, so locking in prices is a supposed easy fix.
But treating inflation this way is like masking a symptom rather than curing the illness. Inflation can no more be controlled by fixing prices than your body weight can be controlled by programming your bathroom scale not to display pounds above some maximum number.
And just like masking your weight will not improve your diet, the misinformation conveyed by price controls will worsen the economy. Most of the time, prices are not simply set by an all-powerful seller; they’re a measurement of what consumers and sellers agree a product is worth. They tell entrepreneurs and businesses how to move resources from activities consumers want less of to those consumers value more.
But again, some are unaware of this reality. Political Scientist Todd Tucker, for example, recently wrote in The Washington Post that “there are normative reasons for not wanting pure markets to exist, because necessary products could be priced out of reach for poor and middle-class consumers.” He concludes, “To ensure that the wealthy do not bid up prices for essential items, the time is now to begin destigmatizing greater democratic control over price levels.”
Wrong. Unusually high prices mean there isn’t enough of something to go around and capping its price all but guarantees shortages. Units are quickly bought up, allocated by corruption or random chance, or moved to more lucrative underground markets. Over time, fewer goods are made because none of these methods inspire legitimate producers to invest in them. Among the many negative consequences of shortages are disproportionate harm to the poor.

Iran’s leadership is struggling to function with internal chaos - report
Sources for the New York Times describe chaos in Tehran: the leadership is paralyzed, the IRGC is making the decisions, and Trump is frustrated by the lack of a negotiation counterpart
i24NEWS
Sources quoted by The New York Times overnight described a situation of deep dysfunction in Tehran, where decision-making has been severely disrupted following joint US and Israeli strikes. Officials said damage to communications infrastructure has fueled paranoia among senior figures, who now fear their conversations are being intercepted, leading many to avoid direct contact altogether. This has hindered coordination of military responses and stalled efforts to formulate positions in potential negotiations.
According to the report, the breakdown in communication has also intensified internal power struggles. Intelligence assessments indicate that Mojtaba Khamenei currently serves largely as a symbolic figure, while decision-making authority has shifted to the remaining leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. US officials said more hardline elements within the Guards have become increasingly influential, filling the vacuum left by weakened political and religious leadership.
A senior military official cited in the report said Iran’s central command structure has been significantly degraded, forcing a shift to decentralized operations. Local commanders are now acting independently, without coordination from Tehran, a development that has reduced the effectiveness of Iranian military actions.
US officials also noted growing frustration within the Trump administration over the lack of a clear Iranian counterpart for negotiations. According to the report, the current leadership structure has made it difficult for Tehran to respond coherently to US diplomatic proposals.
People familiar with the intelligence assessments said Washington believes Iran would only agree to a deal under severe economic pressure. However, current officials assess that Tehran does not yet view itself as losing the conflict, contributing to the ongoing stalemate.
Israeli officials speaking to The New York Times compared the situation in Iran to the breakdown experienced by Hamas in Gaza after its leadership was eliminated. They said communication challenges are forcing reliance on intermediaries and slow exchanges, complicating both military coordination and diplomatic efforts, and leaving uncertainty over who is authorized to make decisions on behalf of the Iranian government.

Breaking News: Aviation Fuel Has Now DOUBLED in Price
Hal Turner World March 30, 2026 Hits: 16830
Jet fuel in Europe just crossed 100% above pre-war prices. $200 per barrel. In Northwest Europe. In Singapore.
Here's what happens next - step by step:
Step 1: Fuel costs double
Airlines now pay double for every gallon they burn.
Step 2: Airlines have no hedge
They dropped fuel hedging in 2024-2025. Zero insurance. Fully exposed.
Step 3: Fares spike immediately
JetBlue already raised bag fees. Fuel surcharges added across the board. Thousands of flights are being cut.
Step 4: Cargo slows
Air freight costs double → manufacturers delay shipments → supply chains strain.
Step 5: Longer routes = more fuel
Iran/Gulf airspace is closed. Airlines fly around it. More hours in the air. More fuel burned. More cost.
Step 6: Record profits evaporate
The aviation industry was headed for a $41 billion profit year. United's CEO is now modeling $175/barrel oil through 2027.
Step 7: You pay the bill
Not the politicians. Not the generals. YOU. At every airport gate. On every booking screen.
THE MATH:
Oil shock → +100% jet fuel → higher fares + fewer flights → aviation crisis → global trade disruption
This is not speculation. This is 1973 (Arab Oil Embargo) happening again.
In 1973, Arab oil ministers quadrupled prices in 48 hours. The world economy took YEARS to recover.
Same region. Same choke point. Same lesson. 53 years and we're right back here.
Experts say prices stay elevated for MONTHS — even if the war de-escalates tomorrow.
So ask yourself the question that nobody in power wants to answer: Was this war worth it?

UPDATED 9:58 PM EDT - DESALINATION PLANT HIT IN KUWAIT
Hal Turner World March 29, 2026 Hits: 29302
At 8:56 PM EDT reports are storming-in from Kuwait saying Iranian Missiles have struck a Desalination Plant in Kuwait. The plant provides 38% of Kuwait's water supply.
Desalination is the process of removing salt and minerals from seawater or brackish water to produce fresh water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. It is a crucial, growing solution to global water scarcity, with over 16,800 plants operating worldwide producing nearly 97 million m/day.
How It Works
Reverse Osmosis (RO): The most common modern method, using high-pressure pumps to force seawater through semi-permeable membranes that trap salt, filtering out 99% of contaminants.
Thermal Distillation: Heating water to create steam, which is then condensed into pure water, mimicking the natural water cycle.
Key Benefits
Independent Water Source: It provides a reliable supply of fresh water not dependent on rainfall.
Versatility: Used in arid regions for drinking, agriculture, and industry.
Potential Drawbacks & Challenges
High Energy Consumption: The process is energy-intensive, which can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
High Cost: Seawater desalination is generally more expensive than treating conventional water sources, although costs are falling as technology improves.
Environmental Impact: Plants produce highly saline brine wastewater that is returned to the ocean.
As of 2020, total global capacity is roughly 97 million m/day, mostly concentrated in regions like the Middle East, with projects expanding rapidly to meet water demand.
Kuwait operates seven to eight major desalination plants along its coast, which serve as the primary source of freshwater, providing over 90% of the country's water for domestic and industrial needs. Key plants include Doha West, Doha East, Al-Zour South, and Shuaiba, with a total daily production capacity exceeding 2.2 million cubic meters.
POPULATION
As of early 2026, Kuwait's population is estimated to be over 5 million, with foreign nationals comprising approximately 65-70% of the total, making them a significant majority, according to Worldometer and Kuwait Times. The population is largely urbanized, concentrated in the capital, Kuwait City, and features a high percentage of expatriates from over 100 countries, notably India and Egypt.
If the Desalination system(s) are taken offline, all five million people will have to evacuate the country within three days to survive.
Iran explicitly warned they would attack Desalination Plants if the US and/or Israel attacked it's power grid. Such an attack took place TODAY. Iran has now begun its retaliation.
UPDATE 9:23 PM EDT --
CONFIRMED! Iran strikes Kuwait Desalination plant causing massive damage. One worker killed.

Europe Dives Deeper Into the Debt Swamp
We are facing a slow, erosive process in which the EU is increasingly penetrating the capital markets, always with the guarantee of major economies and European taxpayers behind it.
Thomas Kolbe | March 28, 2026
Given the precarious economic situation and their ever-rising national debts, the European Commission is pushing for a consolidation of debt issuance under Brussels’ control. The Taxpayers’ Association of Europe (TAE) is now warning against this increasing centralization of fiscal power.
In public debate, the introduction of joint European bonds, Eurobonds, has so far often been dismissed as a fantasy. That the Taxpayers’ Association has now issued a clear warning against joint debt issuance should give critics of the commission pause. Are the plans for standardized EU bond issuances possibly more advanced than we have realized?
The TAE is the umbrella organization of national European taxpayers’ associations, a private law foundation, independent, market-liberal, and a critical observer of the fiscal power plays of the Brussels central authority. When it speaks out decisively on fiscal issues, it does so for a reason.
The seemingly advanced plans of the EU Commission have apparently convinced the TAE to dedicate a campaign to the issue of European financing. Under the program title "Stop EU Taxes. Stop EU Debt," it presents a fiscal policy agenda that would be welcome in party politics among economically liberal parties.
The TAE fundamentally warns against the European Commission’s lack of democratic mandate and sees the danger of Brussels’ powerful central body arrogating ever more tax powers to itself, thus, one could paraphrase, growing into a kind of state above the states. From this, the advocates of European taxpayers derive their demand: There must be no joint debt issuance within the EU.
No matter how the budgetary situation in the European member states develops: That the EU’s two main pillars, Germany and France, will record budget deficits of at least five percent this year is a national problem. And it must be resolved there, in the national capitals. It is unacceptable to distribute money to the public with one hand while taking it from European taxpayers with the other through higher taxes or future debt indirectly via inflation.
With these demands, the TAE firmly stands on the subsidiarity principle consistently advocated by its largest member organization, the German Taxpayers’ Association. Budgetary policy is a national matter. Excessive centralization of political power leads to inefficiencies, opacity, corruption, and systematic mismanagement by an increasingly powerful central apparatus that ultimately cannot even control the flow of its own funds.
The warning of the taxpayers’ association may, however, come too late. The European Commission operates under the motto: “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Following this spirit, the first true joint European bond was issued during the lockdown five years ago. Under the program name "NextGenerationEU," the European Commission raised approximately
€800 billion on the capital markets, backed by Germany as the main rating anchor, which with a national debt of 65 percent continues to stabilize European capital markets.On an EU level, a whole arsenal of crisis financing instruments has been established. The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) intervenes in acute crises, issuing bonds itself, and would be applied in a looming sovereign debt crisis just like the so-called SURE bonds set up to mitigate regional unemployment.
We are facing a slow, erosive process in which the EU is increasingly penetrating the capital markets, always with the guarantee of major economies and European taxpayers behind it. EU Green Bonds are a particularly vivid example: Here, the ideology of the green transformation merges with the practical implementation of joint debt issuance. Capital is directed into channels of a green crony economy that has already heavily damaged the overall economic structure.
And it came to pass as expected: The warning from taxpayer representatives was more than justified. Large parts of the borrowed debt were immediately funneled into the public budgets of Italy and Spain to mitigate precarious national fiscal conditions. Spain provides the clearest example: President Pedro Sánchez’s socialist government finances large portions of its state budget through these programs, enabling massive public sector employment growth. Much like in Germany, Spain’s labor market is shifting from the struggling private sector to the public sector, which acts as a final safety net for a gradually eroding middle class.
As if European statism were not already the costliest and economically most disastrous project of our time: productive forces are further stifled by this debt program, and the capital market is virtually drained by the public sector. Moreover, access to credit for small and medium-sized businesses becomes increasingly difficult when fewer funds are available.
This phenomenon can be observed across nearly all levels of European economic policy. What has unfolded under the program name Green Deal as a green transformation within a massive redistribution mechanism unfortunately establishes incentives that also attract productive private capital. Who would not prefer a government- or institution-guaranteed minimum return that exceeds market rates and is risk-free, as in the case of renewable energy investments?
The TAE does not state it explicitly, but if the EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen continues to expand its fiscal powers, this path could accelerate Europe into economic third-class status.
Every major past crisis offered Brussels the opportunity to expand and consolidate its fiscal power. Whether the Dotcom bubble 25 years ago or the sovereign debt crisis fifteen years ago, which was quasi drowned by former ECB President Mario Draghi in fiat credit -- all these events eventually culminated in the first European joint bond, the so-called NextGenerationEU.
It was the great original sin. A political bastard of the lockdown era. What else could this period have produced but further problems? We must assume, with Europeans’ response patterns in mind, that the looming EU sovereign debt crisis will inevitably feed into the Eurobond project.
It will spawn additional political bastards, such as the digital euro, designed as a capital flow control to prevent flight. A digital identity for monitoring public discourse is likely to be implemented. A minimum tax regime is also planned to finally eliminate tax competition in the EU. Welcome to Brussels, welcome to the hyperstate that will produce nothing but debt, behavioral control, and inflation.

Belgium: Record 4% of All People Killed in 2025 Were Euthanized
International | Right to Life UK | Mar 27, 2026 | 7:10PM | Brussels, Belgium
Belgium had a record 4,486 assisted deaths in 2025, an increase of 12.4% on the previous year, accounting for 4% of all deaths in the country, with almost a quarter of all deaths not expected in the short-term.
According to the annual review released by Belgium’s ‘Federal Commission for the Control and Evaluation of Euthanasia’:
4,486 people ended their lives by assisted suicide or euthanasia in Belgium in 2025, which is the biggest number of Belgian assisted deaths in any single year since the practice was made legal.
This accounted for 4% of the total 113,217 deaths that happened in Belgium in 2025, which is the highest percentage share of all deaths since the practice was made legal.
This also represents a 1,809% increase in assisted suicide or euthanasia deaths compared to the 235 deaths that occurred in the first full year that the law was in operation (2003).
Almost a quarter of people (24.9%) who had their lives ended by euthanasia or assisted suicide were not expected to have a natural death that would occur in the short term, understood as meaning it was not expected in the coming months. In other words, they were not terminally ill.
In the past, people who have ended their lives where death was not expected in the coming months have included people with depression, PTSD and blindness.
The percentage of those who had their lives ended by euthanasia or assisted suicide who were not terminally ill has almost quadrupled from 6.88% in 2004 to 24.9% in 2025.
Click here to sign up for pro-life news alerts from LifeNews.com
In 2025, 151 people died by euthanasia or assisted suicide with ‘cognitive disorders’ or ‘psychiatric conditions’ as their underlying condition.
This has increased by 36.04% since the previous year.
This has increased by 169.64% since 2018, when there were 56 people who ended their lives with these underlying conditions.
In 2025, 92.72% of people whose underlying condition was either a cognitive disorder or a psychiatric condition who died by euthanasia or assisted suicide were not expected to die in the coming months. In other words, they were not terminally ill.
For every year since 2018, over 90% of people whose underlying condition was either a cognitive disorder or a psychiatric condition who died by euthanasia or assisted suicide were not terminally ill.
Since assisted suicide and euthanasia were legalised in Belgium, over 42,000 people have ended their lives in this manner.
The number of people who ended their lives by euthanasia or assisted suicide in 2025 has more than doubled in the last decade.
In the UK in 2024, if 4% of deaths were assisted deaths as in Belgium, there would have been a total of 25,958 assisted deaths in that year.
There is no requirement that someone seeking an assisted death in Belgium be near the end of their lives. The law allows adults and emancipated minors experiencing “constant, unbearable physical or psychological suffering due to a serious and incurable condition” to end their lives by euthanasia or assisted suicide.
A major amendment to the law in 2014 removed the age restriction for assisted suicide and euthanasia in Belgium, making Belgium the first country to legalise euthanasia for minors “with capacity of discernment”.
One minor ended their life by assisted suicide or euthanasia in Belgium in 2025.
Deaths of people for whom a natural death is not expected in the short term are increasing
The number of people for whom a natural death was not expected in the short term, understood as meaning it was not expected in the coming months, who ended their lives by assisted suicide or euthanasia in 2025 was 1,117, representing 24.9% of the total.
This percentage share is a drastic increase from the first full year that assisted suicide and euthanasia were legal, in which only 6.88% of deaths were people for whom a natural death was not expected in the short term.
The underlying condition for 77 people who ended their lives by assisted suicide or euthanasia was a cognitive disorder, while the underlying condition for 74 people was a psychiatric condition.
Overwhelmingly, these conditions were not likely to result in the natural death of these individuals in the short term; 92.72% of people whose underlying condition was either a cognitive disorder or a psychiatric condition and who died by euthanasia or assisted suicide were not expected to have a natural death in the short term.
Additionally, the number of people who ended their lives by assisted suicide or euthanasia for a cognitive disorder or a psychiatric condition in 2025 increased by 36.04% since the previous year.
Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson, said “It is heartbreaking to hear of the increasing number of people who are ending their lives in Belgium as a result of assisted suicide or euthanasia”.
“It is particularly distressing to hear that so many of these people did not have deaths that were to be reasonably expected to occur in the short term, and that a number of these individuals ended their lives due to cognitive disorders or psychiatric conditions”.
“People with physical or psychological suffering deserve to receive the care and support necessary to reduce their suffering while allowing them to continue living. The state should not be enabling their suicide”.

Woman visiting ER for back pain stunned after doctor suggests euthanasia program
By Jeanne Erickson
Published March 28, 2026, 11:24 a.m. ETJust die already.
A Canadian woman claims she went to the hospital for help with a sudden illness — and was shocked when a doctor offered to help her die instead.
Miriam Lancaster visited an emergency room in Vancouver in April 2025 Canada after waking up with serious back pain, according to the Western Standard.
That’s when a doctor offered Lancaster Medical Assistance in Dying, the country’s voluntary euthanasia program, before any other treatment,
Lancaster, 84, was appalled.
“All I knew was that I woke up in excruciating pain — so much so that my daughter came running in from another room. She called an ambulance.
“Off I went to the Vancouver General Hospital and I was approached by a young lady doctor whose very first words out of her mouth were, ‘We would like to offer you MAiD,'” Miriam said in a March 18 video posted to X.
“I was taken aback. That was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted to find out why I was in pain — I did not want to die.”
The MAiD program in Canada allows eligible adults with a serious, irremediable medical conditions and intolerable, irreversible suffering to receive assistance from a doctor or nurse practitioner in ending their life.
The program’s strict rules require voluntary requests, informed consent, and assessment by two independent professionals.
The blowback to Lancaster’s story was immediate.
“Stop offering death to people who have adventures to lead!” wrote Amanda Achtman, founder of the Dying to Meet You Project, which aims to prevent euthanasia.
“MAID should not have been suggested,” blasted the Delta Hospice Society, who said the doctor’s swift offer broke the law.
Lancaster said she was a month in the hospital, came home and “recuperated nicely enough that I could take some trips … just recently, I was in Mexico and Guatemala.
“So my recover has been amazing, and there was no need for MAiD to even be suggested.”
Jordan Weaver, Lancaster’s daughter, who was with her at the hospital, said, “My mother and I are practicing Catholics. We would never accept MAID under any circumstances,” according to the National Post.
“Her life is valuable to the people who care for her.”

Netanyahu intensifies strikes in Iran, fearing ceasefire - report
The New York Times reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered the intensification of strikes in Iran over the next 48 hours in order to destroy as much of Iran's weapons industry as possible
i24NEWS
American media reported on Wednesday evening that there are concerns in Israel that the United States will announce a one-month ceasefire in order to jumpstart talks with Iran.
The New York Times reported that Israel is concerned about the possibility of a deal at a time when it has not yet achieved its main war objectives: eliminating the threat of Iran’s ballistic missiles, ensuring that Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons, and creating conditions under which the Iranian people could rise up against their government.
Official Israeli sources told The New York Times that Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered Tuesday night to make every effort to destroy as much of Iran's weapons industry as possible within the next 48 hours.
Netanyahu's directive was given after Israel received a copy of the American 15-point proposal to Iran. This followed briefings by senior commanders, including the commanders of the Air Force and the Intelligence Directorate, regarding targets that can still be attacked, according to the two sources.
The haste and the deadline reflected a concern within the Israeli government that President Trump might announce peace talks at any moment, according to the officials and the two people briefed on the matter.

Sentenced to Death for Following Jesus, She Now Believes Iran's Spiritual Chains Are Breaking
03-24-2026
As Israeli and U.S. military strikes decimate Iran's Islamic regime and its nuclear capabilities, an Iranian woman who was jailed and sentenced to die on apostasy charges believes her countrymen will soon throw off their forced Muslim identities, embrace Christianity, and spark a spiritual awakening throughout the Middle East.
A Christian house church leader in Iran until her imprisonment by the brutal Islamist regime in 2009, Maryam Rostampour Keller predicts her former homeland — she is a U.S. citizen today — will be freed with the fall of the Islamic Republic's fanatical, religious leaders.
During four years of ministry, evangelism, and Bible distribution to fellow Iranians who dreamed about and had visions of Jesus Christ, Rostampour Keller said she had only positive experiences with people open to spiritual truths and personal connections to God.
"That's why I think our responsibility as the Body of Christ to stand with them in prayer is critical these days," Rostampour Keller said during a recent national prayer call for Iran.
She believes the regime's expected fall is only a starting point for a spiritual awakening in Iran and beyond. Rostampour Keller shared what she described as an impression from God showing her that Iran is ripe for spiritual harvest by Christian laborers.
"After the regime falls, we need a lot of Christians ready and prepared to go to Iran and share Jesus with people," Rostampour Keller said.
Many house-church Christians and secular Iranians inside and outside the country hope the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi returns to lead Iran because they consider him trustworthy.
"I feel like he (Pahlavi) needs people to pray a special anointing from God for him," said Rostampour Keller, who doesn't know if he is a person of faith.
The current battle for Iran is between the forces of good and evil – a spiritual war – that ought to stir the global church to intercession for the future of ancient Persia.
"I have contact with a few Christians in Iran who know believers are frustrated, depressed, isolated, and abandoned by the global church – or so they feel," said Rostampour Keller.
Military and foreign intervention is only a part of Iranians' cries for help that, until Israel and U.S. joined military forces, fell on the deaf ears of world leaders.
"I feel a burden on my heart to encourage people to stand with Iran, not just with Christians, but with all the people in fighting this spiritual battle. Christians need to raise this nation to God for intervention," said Rostampour Keller.
When Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died in a missile strike, Rostampour Keller struggled with her emotions while at work, as millions of Iranians celebrated his death after 47 years of what she described as virtual imprisonment, torture, and murder under the regime.
As a former prisoner in Iran, Rostampour Keller said her life in the United States is fraught with concern for millions of Iranians who continue to suffer. American friends who follow the war in Iran frequently call or text her to ask how she feels about Khamenei's assassination.
"This should not be a question. I am rejoicing with millions of Iranians who are happy that a U.S. President (Trump) sent help to them," said Rostampour Keller, who is a co-author of the book Captive in Iran.
*** The Regime Shot His Friends, but They Couldn't Stop This Iranian Christian from Going Viral
She cannot understand vocal minorities mourning the death of the deceased leader and his evil regime, while failing to empathize with millions of suffering Iranians who have cried for help over many years.
Rostampour Keller knows Iranians don't have a choice about who or how to worship within the Islamic Republic. At age 7, she was pressured to say Islamic prayers and chant "death to Israel and the United States" every day. "I was thinking recently how much darkness that brings to Iran," she said.
As a 17-year-old, she was overwhelmed by God's presence in an encounter with Jesus, giving her life to the Lord after she read a booklet, His Name is Wonderful, based on the Gospel of Luke. It was given to her sister by a Pentecostal church near their home in Tehran.
"It was the first time in my life that I heard that Jesus is the Son of God. I heard about the cross, that He went to the cross for my sins. But none of the words sounded strange to me. That's why when I got to the last page of the booklet, I was just crying. I was in my room for three hours. I was overwhelmed by God's presence and His love," recalled Rostampour Keller.
She joined the Assemblies of God church that gave her sister the gospel booklet. The pastors witnessed her passion for sharing the Good News with family, friends, and even strangers she invited to church.
Stirred by her zeal, the pastors asked Rostampour to study theology and leadership of house churches in Turkey. There she met a friend who returned to Iran with her. Both were full of evangelistic fervor, sharing Jesus with Iranians while leading two house churches.
In 2009, the two young women were arrested by regime agents on charges of apostasy, blasphemy, promoting Christianity, and evangelizing. Convicted on all the charges against them, they received death sentences.
Solitary confinement in Iran's notorious Evin prison – known for brutality and torture – prepared Rostampour and her friend, Marziyeh Amirizadeh, to boldly share the gospel with desperate prostitutes, drug addicts, and homeless people – all of whom were hungry for God's grace and love.
*** PRAY for the people of Iran to be freed from tyranny, and for a revelation of Jesus Christ throughout the country.

TDEM Announces Statewide Drill for Local Public Warning Systems
Texas State Flag
For Immediate Distribution
March 18, 2026
|media@tdem.texas.govTDEM Announces Statewide Drill for Local Public Warning Systems
The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) announced today a statewide test of local alerting systems to evaluate effectiveness and functionality of these public warning tools.
TDEM has begun notifying local partners of the planned drill, which has been scheduled for April 2, 2026.
“Regular training and testing of public warning systems builds readiness before disaster strikes and is an important component of community safety,” said Texas Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd. “Conducting drills to reaffirm procedures, promote confidence in technological tools, and identify potential shortfalls is key to ensuring these systems operate with precision, accuracy, and timeliness when they are needed the most.”
This test of local warning systems is part of TDEM’s commitment to working with Texas communities to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of disasters and emergencies throughout the state.
To create consistency and unified coordination across the state, a designated testing window has been established for local jurisdictions to utilize their primary, alternate, and contingency systems, allowing for verification of continuity within alerting local processes.
TDEM has requested participation from designated local alerting authorities, along with local emergency management programs, school districts, primary and secondary education programs, college and universities, councils of government, river authorities, sovereign tribal nations, law enforcement agencies, and any other entities with emergency alerting capability.
TDEM has also requested participating organizations share with state emergency management officials an update after completion of the drill with a summary, key takeaways, and any relevant details that may provide context about the success of the local system test.

Iran REJECTS U.S. Ceasefire Proposal; Issues Its Own
Hal Turner World March 25, 2026 Hits: 19028
Iran formally and officially rejects the US Ceasefire proposal, and has now laid out its own five conditions to end the war, per senior Iranian security official:
•A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.
•The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
•Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
•The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
•International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met," the official said, emphasizing Tehran's resolve to continue its defense and inflict "heavy blows" on the enemy until its demands are fulfilled.
According to the official, Washington has been pursuing negotiations through various diplomatic channels, putting forward proposals that Tehran views as "excessive" and disconnected from the reality of America's failure on the battlefield.
The official drew parallels with two previous rounds of negotiations held in the spring and winter of 2025, characterising them as deceptive.
In both instances, the official stressed, the United States had no genuine intention to engage in meaningful dialogue and subsequently carried out military aggression against Iran.
Tehran has therefore categorized the latest overture, which was delivered via a friendly regional intermediary, as a ploy to heighten tensions and has responded negatively.
The official further noted that these stipulations are in addition to demands previously presented by Tehran during the second round of negotiations in Geneva, which took place just days before the US and Israel carried out a fresh round of aggression on February 28.
Iran has communicated to all intermediaries acting in good faith that a ceasefire is contingent upon the acceptance of all of its conditions.
"No negotiations will be held prior to that," the official stressed, reiterating that the continuation of Iran's defensive operations will persist until the outlined conditions are met.

Meta cutting several hundred jobs across Reality Labs, Facebook and other departments

Meta is laying off several hundred employees on Wednesday, CNBC confirmed.
The cuts are happening across several different organizations within the company, including Facebook, global operations, recruiting, sales and Reality Labs, according to a source.
The layoffs come as Meta has been refocusing its efforts and pouring billions of dollars into AI.
Meta is laying off several hundred employees on Wednesday, CNBC confirmed.
The cuts are happening across several different organizations within the company, including Facebook, global operations, recruiting, sales and its virtual reality division Reality Labs, according to a source familiar with the company's plans who asked not to be named because they are confidential.
Some impacted employees are being offered new roles within the company, the person said. In some cases, those new positions will require relocation.
"Teams across Meta regularly restructure or implement changes to ensure they're in the best position to achieve their goals. Where possible, we are finding other opportunities for employees whose positions may be impacted," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement.
The layoffs come as Meta has been refocusing its efforts and pouring billions of dollars into artificial intelligence, where the social media giant has been racing to catch up to rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.
The Information was first to report the cuts.
In January, Meta laid off employees focused within its Reality Labs division and shut down a number of studios that were working on VR titles, CNBC previously reported. Those cuts hit more than 1,000 jobs and would impact about 10% of that unit, which makes Quest VR headsets, and the Horizon Worlds virtual social network.
Meta shares rose nearly 3% earlier in March after Reuters reported that the company could slash more than 20% of its workforce. A Meta spokesperson said at the time that "This is a speculative report about theoretical approaches."
Meanwhile, Meta has also been continuing to bulk up on talent specializing in generative AI and related AI agents, which has become the company's new area of focus.
The company's latest effort included a licensing arrangement with the startup Dreamer, whose staff will join Meta Superintelligence Labs. As a result, Dreamer co-founder Hugo Barra will return to Meta, having previously helped lead the company's virtual reality efforts from 2017 through 2021.
Meta declined to comment on the terms of the deal.
The company revealed Tuesday evening in corporate filings that its top executives like finance head Susan Li, technology chief Andrew Bosworth, Chief Product Officer Christopher Cox and operating chief Javier Olivan will be recipients of a new stock option incentive program. The plan is intended as a retaining tool for Meta's top leaders while it continues heavily investing into artificial intelligence.
"This is a big bet," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. "These pay packages will not be realized unless Meta achieves massive future success, benefiting all of our shareholders. As with all stock options, there is only value if the share price meaningfully exceeds the exercise price, and in this case, it must be on an exceedingly aggressive 5-year timeline."

US interceptor stockpiles being depleted by Iran war, could take years to replenish
The Payne Institute estimates that the war has consumed about a third of the THAAD missile stockpile, whose annual production rate does not exceed about 100
ByASSAF GILEAD/GLOBES/TNS
MARCH 25, 2026 11:14
Updated: MARCH 25, 2026 11:53A new US Congress study published last week on the THAAD ballistic missile interception system shed worrying light on the inventory of interceptors available to the US in the near future.
The document says, "There is concern that the rate of use of THAAD interceptors during Operation Epic Fury has further reduced the limited stock of interceptors."
Despite the problematic reputation that the THAAD system has acquired for itself over the past few years, during which it was deployed in the Middle East, Congress claims that the interception rate of the US system reaches about 90% of all Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, with an emphasis on the UAE, a comparable rate to the Arrow 3, the Israel-US jointly developed system, used exclusively by the IDF.
The study also found that half of all interceptions used to defend Israeli skies in the operation against Iran in June were made by the THAAD system - ninety-two interceptions in total out of an estimated supply of 632 interceptors, and added it would take many years before the stockpile of interceptors could be fully replenished.
"It could take three to eight years to replenish the THAAD missile stockpile, each of which costs an estimated $12.7 million." The Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI), which provided some of the materials to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), found that the first days of the current US Operation Epic Fury were more intensive than the opening of any other air campaign in the history of the US military, with 5,197 munitions across 35 types carrying a munitions-only replacement bill of $10 - $16 billion in four days.
A THAAD interceptor is launched during Flight Test THAAD in Kodiak Alaska
'No shortage of bombs'
FPRI said, "The coalition can keep attacking because there is a mass of bombs. The strategic constraint sits in the invisible parts: the interceptors that keep bases alive, the long-range weapons that hold enemy launchers at risk, and the sensor architecture that makes missile defense efficient and functional.
"The war in Iran creates the strategic illusion of an ongoing tactical bombing campaign, but its readiness for a larger emergency in a new arena (e.g., China, etc.) fades with every actual munition fired."
According to the study, in the first four days of Operation Epic Fury, US Patriot batteries defending the Gulf states fired 943 interceptors - equivalent to the number of interceptors produced at Lockheed Martin and Boeing factories in 18 months. Together, they produce 620 interceptors a year, along with a factory in Poland that makes launchers for the Patriot.
The Payne Institute estimates that the war has consumed about a third of the THAAD missile stockpile, whose annual production rate does not exceed about 100. "US allied Gulf states are the ones that 'bleed' the bulk of the ammunition, but they are the last to receive resupply because of the priority given to the US military."
380 missiles to Israel
According to data from Tel Aviv University Institute of National Security Studies (INSS) as of Sunday some 380 Iranian ballistic missiles had reached Israel from Iran. The Iranians have an estimated 1,000-1,500 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel out of the 2,000-2,500 missiles they had before the current operation. The missiles fired at the Gulf are not from this Iranian arsenal, as they are intended for shorter ranges. So far, the US and Israel have destroyed about 200 launchers, 135 have failed, meaning they remain trapped in buildings, and the Iranians have about 120 functioning launchers left.
According to this data, Israel and the US are only halfway to destroying Iranian missiles and launchers, and at the pace of fighting, which has slowed somewhat, it appears that it will take many more weeks to complete the job.
Does Israel have a shortage of Arrow 3 missiles, like the US and UAE shortage of THAAD missiles? Israel's Ministry of Defense declines to comment on the matter, but a former senior official in the US Defense Intelligence Agency reassuringly says, "Iran has no chance of winning the arms race, since their production capacity has dropped to zero, while that of the Americans and Israelis is large."
While Arrow 3 missiles can intercept ballistic missiles in space, David's Sling can, according to its original specifications, reach a lower layer. However, the success rates of David's Sling are not always as good, as shown by efforts to intercept ballistic missiles in Dimona and Arad on Saturday, which were made using David's Sling and not THAAD, as was mistakenly reported in several media outlets.
How do you decide who will fire?
A former senior IDF official says a multi-layered interception policy was established to repel ballistic missiles: "You want to hit the Iranian missile first with Arrow 3, if that doesn't work, you fire Arrow 2, and then if that doesn't work either David's Sling or THAAD."
How do you decide whether it is the US that fires THAAD or the Israelis that fire Arrow 3 at the target? The decision is made jointly by a US-Israeli control room, which receives data about the launch of the Iranian missile from all the radars in the Middle East, and is available to both armies equally.
The decision on which system to fire - Arrow or THAAD - is made jointly by the two countries based on the proximity of the batteries to the estimated point of impact. "If the US lacks supplies, it's a sign that they didn't properly prepare for the operation, because maybe they didn't really plan one. It takes months to accumulate supplies, and it seems that the operation came as quite a surprise to them," says the senior official.

Hal Turner World March 25, 2026 Hits: 25303
Last night, the country of Kuwait began issuing televised nuclear/Radiation warnings to their citizens. Yesterday evening, Laguna Beach, California, began testing their air-raid/Nuclear Attack Warning Sirens!
From television in Kuwait, the government and military in that country has begun telling citizens:
STAY INDOORS — SEAL YOUR HOMES — RADIATION PRECAUTIONS ISSUED
Authorities in Kuwait have issued urgent guidance as tensions escalate across the region.
The instructions are stark:
Do not leave your homes.
Seal all doors and windows.
Stay inside until further notice.
Officials say there is no immediate need to panic.
But these measures are being introduced as a precaution against possible airborne contamination — including potential Nuclear radioactive fallout from regional escalation.
The concern is not confirmed exposure.
It is what could happen if the situation worsens.
Because in modern conflict:
Critical infrastructure
Military facilities
Sensitive sites
All carry risks beyond the blast itself.
Authorities stress that distance reduces the immediate threat.
But they are preparing for worst-case scenarios.
And when governments begin advising people to seal their homes…
It means they are planning not just for conflict — but for what comes after it.
This is precaution.
But it is serious precaution.
CALIFORNIA
The City of Laguna Beach began testing its Nuclear Attack Air Raid Sirens yesterday evening. Video Below:
This is here . . . inside the United States.
When I Heard the Laguna Beach Video, I wanted to Cry
Those sirens in Laguna Beach brought tears to my eyes. I've been TRYING to warn all of you - for months. I've told you and told you and told you to prepare.
So many laughed at me. Called me "Chicken Little, the Sky is falling." Said my news stories and article advice was "Click Bait" and "Doom Porn." Then went about your life having done absolutely nothing.
Well, here we go. They're testing the nuclear attack warning sirens here in the United States.
You're smart; why do you think they're doing that? Because the danger has become so close, so real, there is now public government acknowledgement of it.
What I've been warning about is now so close, even government can't conceal it.
So NOW what are you going to do?
For what it's worth, I will repeat my warning again, hoping there is still time for SOME of you to take action:
Get Emergency food:
Shelf-stable items that do NOT require refrigeration: 10 lb. bags of Rice, Boxes of Pasta. Jarred Sauces. Cans of Tuna, of Chicken breast, of other meats. Cans of soups you can heat and dump on top of the rice or pasta to make a meal.
Emergency Water:
Humans can only go three DAYS without water. Have a supply: Bottled water - enough for each person in your household for at least a week. Some people are buying tub liners so that when the alert comes, they can put the liner in their tub, turn on the tap and fill the lined tub with thirty, forty,, maybe 50 gallons of water. Others are buying 50 gallon water drums. Trouble with those is, they weigh 400 lbs when full, so you can't move them once they're full.
A Way to Generate Electric:
Get some type of emergency electric generator. Most people are getting gasoline-powered, which is fine --- as long as you have (or can get) gasoline. But there are other types of generators that are Dual-Fuel (Gasoline and natural gas) or Triple-Fuel(Gasoline, Natural Gas, Propane) Again, all of them good, as long as you have fuel.
Other people are getting SOLAR which is really just a deep cycle battery that holds a little energy to power a light, or phone, or laptop for a few hours, but can be recharged with a SOLAR PANEL that comes with it.
People like me went all-out and got WHOLE HOUSE solar electric systems. But they take weeks to order, to get, to install and it is really very expensive to do that.
FUEL:
Have several 5-Gallon gas cans, FILLED. But you need to preserve that fuel so it doesn't go bad. SO buy a small bottle of something like "STA-BIL" fuel stabilizer. Add it to the can once it is filled with gasoline and it will help preserve the gasoline.
Others, like me, realize that gasoline will go bad within a few months, so we bought Fuel RESTORATION fluids like a product called "Pri-G" (for gasoline) or "Pri-D" (for Diesel). If the fuel has gone bad, you can add a specific, measured amount of these products into the correct fuel, and they cause a chemical reaction to make the fuel LIKE NEW again! But they're expensive.
COMMUNICATIONS GEAR:
If the SHTF, it is highly likely that "the grid" will go down, meaning no electricity and NO TV/RADIO/PHONES/CABLE/INTERNET etc.
You really should have emergency gear like a CB radio or a HAM Radio in your house and/or in your car so you can communicate with other people nearby. Both CB and HAM can operate with a car battery - even in your house. Get a small, portable radio, a spare car battery, antenna cable (coaxial cable RG-8 or RG-58) to go from the radio to your outdoor antenna, and a small, cheap, outdoor antenna or car antenna.
You can communicate a good five miles with a CB and there's a lot of people in that 5 miles you can get info from.
PORTABLE AM/FM/Shortwave radio that runs on internal batteries for news, information and to hear what's going on.
FIRST AID KIT:
You need to have an EMT TRAUMA KIT, with bandages for injuries/wounds. When the bombs hit, and things collapse, a lot of people will have cuts and bruises ranging from minor, to complete detachment of arms/legs/ and other horrifying injuries. You need to have some way to treat what is treatable, on someone who is savable. There will be people who are so badly injured, they cannot be saved. Prepare to make those decisions. Be prepared mentally to walk away. It will be gut-wrenching, but you have to do it.
This list of "Preps" is woefully incomplete. But it is the most basic items you need to even have a CHANCE for you and the ones you love.
I URGE you to get ready. I BEG YOU to get ready while there is still some time to do so.
GET RIGHT WITH GOD:
A lot of us have lived the overwhelming majority of our lives never even thinking about God. It is time to start thinking of Him. In fact, it's long overdue.
I am not a Priest, a Preacher, a Minister, or a Reverend. I'm a Catholic by upbringing, a Christian by choice.
I don't know the formal rituals adopted by men over the ages, to try to get right with God, but I DO know this: God is real. He is there, with you, right now. He sees all, and knows all -- and always has.
HE knows you don't know much of anything about praying. HE knows you haven't prayed for decades. He still loves you. He created you. He knew you before you were born and he loves YOU the way you love your child. Get quiet. Concentrate. Pray to Him.
I dunno what you'll say; I started with "God, it's me, Harold. I haven't prayed to you in years, but I think I'm in big trouble, and you're the only one I can think of to try to talk to. Please God, hear me. . . ." and go from there. I told Him "I've lived fast and loose. I've (insert sins here . . . . lied, cheated, stolen, had sex with . . . .)" and whatever else I did.
Tell Him 'Looking back, I really have lived like a selfish, self-centered, self-important JERK. I didn't know how to get along in life, so I acted this way to protect myself from being vulnerable. I shouldn't have done those things. I'm sorry. I repent."
Look, I can't tell you what to say, only YOU know what to say because it's YOUR life and YOU know what you did. He knows, but he's waiting to hear it from your own mouth. You have to SPEAK the prayer, SPEAK the sins, not just THINK it and expect God to read your mind. He wants to HEAR IT from your own mouth. And in order to do that, you actually have to get humble. Humble enough to admit the (ugly) truth out of your own mouth, to the one who created you.
I think that's how you confess to the one who made you.
I could go on endlessly, but I won't. You get the idea.
None of us is guaranteed Salvation. NONE of us is likely worthy of being saved. But we DO have a chance at forgiveness, and I think it's really a worthy endeavor to at least TRY.
Time is short. They're testing nuclear attack sirens and issuing radiation warnings. Take the hint.

BREAKING REPORT: Iran fortifying Kharg Island to create significant casualties in expectation of a US takeover
Mar. 25, 2026 3:25 pm by The Right Scoop
CNN is now reporting that Iran is trying to fortify Kharg Island in expectation that the US will take over the island.
Natasha Bertrand claims Iran is laying traps to create as many US casualties as possible if Trump tries to take it.
Here’s the news:
New: Iran has been laying traps and moving additional military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in recent weeks in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue.
Gulf allies are warning of significant US casualties if US moves fwd with an operation there & advising against it.
This report sounds like it came straight from the regime. I would just say that whatever the Iranians are doing, our very sophisticated US military is watching them like a hawk and is preparing accordingly – assuming they even want to take Kharg Island as a means to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

PHOTOS — ‘Only Jesus Can Change a Heart’: Georgia Church Experiences 400 Unplanned Baptisms in One Day
Amy Furr
21 Mar 2026A church in Georgia is rejoicing after hundreds of people were baptized in one day when they responded to the gospel message.
Members at Bethlehem Church’s three campuses in Barrow, Jackson, and Oconee showed up on March 1 for services where they had planned to have 13 baptisms, the Baptist Press reported Tuesday.
However, 387 additional baptisms followed when an invitation to trust Jesus Christ was offered.
Lead Pastor Jason Britt had prepared to preach on the Holy Spirit and felt God leading him to call listeners to come forward for baptism right then and there.
He referenced Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit descended on believers at Pentecost. Britt said his heart was moved by the text in the Bible.
The verses state, “Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off — for all whom the Lord our God will call.'”
Britt was amazed as he and other church members watched wave upon wave of adults coming forward to be baptized.
“People didn’t want to leave. The 9 a.m. service went into the 11 a.m. service. Services were an hour and a half to two hours. Parking lots were packed,” he recalled, noting some people had been watching online and drove to a church campus.
The church later shared photos of the event that showed people smiling before and after they were baptized.
“400 people courageously stepped forward and declared their faith this weekend. That is 400 stories that all point to a faithful God. A Spirit-filled church is full of Spirit-sensitive people… and Spirit-sensitive people OBEY! We cannot manufacture or manipulate life change. Only JESUS can change a heart,” the caption read:
According to Got Questions, the act of baptism means the individual is showing the world they have placed their faith in Jesus Christ: “In the waters of baptism, a person says, wordlessly, ‘I confess faith in Christ; Jesus has cleansed my soul from sin, and I now have a new life of sanctification.'”
Britt said he did not want to definitively say the event was revival but called it a “fresh awakening” because, “In the Great Awakening, they didn’t know they were in what we now call the ‘Great Awakening’ — they just knew God was doing something.”

Vietnam Airlines is set to cancel 23 flights per week across several domestic routes starting April due to impending jet fuel shortages, announced by Vietnam's aviation authority. The shortage is attributed to disruptions in imports caused by the conflict in the Middle East. The airline is focusing on maintaining essential routes.
Devdiscourse News Desk | Hanoi | Updated: 24-03-2026 08:10 IST | Created: 24-03-2026 08:10 IST
Flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has announced plans to cancel 23 flights per week on various domestic routes starting in April, citing potential jet fuel shortages. The Vietnam aviation authority confirmed the news, attributing the issue to disrupted imports due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Belonging to the state-owned Vietnam Airlines Corp, the airline is giving priority to routes critical for national connectivity, trade, tourism, diplomacy, and domestic travel. From April 1, it will suspend seven domestic routes, cutting 23 flights weekly to manage fuel conservation. Affected routes include services from Hai Phong to Buon Ma Thuot, Cam Ranh, Phu Quoc, and Can Tho, as well as Ho Chi Minh City to Van Don, Rach Gia, and Dien Bien.
The airline has yet to respond to requests for comments on this matter. Previously, Reuters reported warnings from the CAAV about potential flight reductions beginning April. These concerns arose after China and Thailand stopped jet fuel exports amid the Iranian conflict, hence the apprehension of more pronounced shortages. Additional measures such as implementing fuel surcharges on international flights are also being considered.

CDC issues global travel notice as incurable brain-bleeding virus reaches Americas
READ MORE: Travel alert over spread of POLIO issued by the CDC
By LUKE ANDREWS, US SENIOR HEALTH REPORTER
Published: 11:04 EDT, 24 March 2026 | Updated: 14:33 EDT, 24 March 2026
Urgent warnings have been issued for travelers heading to multiple countries over spiraling outbreaks of a mosquito-borne disease that can cause brain bleeds.
The CDC issued a level 1 global travel advisory after detecting unusual upticks in cases of dengue fever across the world.
In particular, the CDC warned of 16 countries where travelers have an increased risk of contracting the illness, warning them to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites.
The CDC said it 'has identified a higher-than-expected number of dengue cases among US travelers returning from' Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Colombia, Cook Islands, Cuba, Guyana, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, New Caledonia, Pakistan, Samoa, Sudan, Timor-Leste and Vietnam.
Health officials urged travelers to wear insect repellent, long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors, and to sleep in air-conditioned rooms or a room with window screens.
Dengue fever often causes an asymptomatic infection, but in some patients it can trigger life-threatening internal bleeding, respiratory distress and heart failure.
It can also lead to shock and organ failure, especially of the liver, brain and heart.
Patients may also develop dengue shock syndrome, a condition where severe bleeding leads to a rapid drop in blood pressure and causes the body to go into shock.
Children under five, adults over 65 and pregnant women are considered to be most at risk from the virus.
Dengue was virtually eradicated from the US in the 1970s, but sporadic outbreaks have been recorded since, particularly in warmer states, including Florida and California. Most cases recorded in the US are linked to international travel.
A level 1 travel advisory urges Americans to practice usual precautions because of the presence of an outbreak. It is the lowest level travel alert out of the four levels that can be issued. Level four is advice to avoid all travel.
The Americas recorded a major dengue fever outbreak in 2025, with Brazil alone registering nearly 200,000 cases. Today, cases are still above normal, although well below this peak.
Samoa has been battling a dengue outbreak since April last year, that has already sickened 16,800 people and been linked to the deaths of eight individuals, including a seven-month-old baby.
Dengue is present in more than 100 countries globally and is a year-round threat to travelers and local people. Outbreaks occur every two to five years.
So far this year, no locally acquired cases of dengue fever have been detected in the mainland US.
A total of 55 cases have been detected, but these were all linked to travel outside the US. Florida had the most, at 16 cases, followed by New York, at eight cases.
In 2025, 67 cases of locally acquired dengue fever were reported in the US, including 60 in Florida, six in California and one in Arizona. There were also 1,128 cases that were linked to travel.
Health officials say about 40 to 80 percent of people infected with dengue fever do not develop any symptoms. If symptoms do develop, they appear abruptly about five to seven days after infection.
Warning signs include a fever above 100F (38C), severe headache, pain behind the eyes, bone, joint or muscle pain, and bleeding in the gums.
Some patients also develop redness of the skin on the face within the first 24 to 48 hours of symptoms emerging.
In severe cases, patients may also suffer from severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting and lethargy.
There is no specific cure for dengue fever and treatment consists of supportive care and therapies to manage symptoms and complications.
Doctors recommend patients with mild symptoms drink plenty of fluids and take Tylenol to ease pain.
In severe cases, patients may be admitted to the hospital for supportive care, an IV, blood pressure monitoring and a transfusion to replace lost blood.
To protect against dengue fever, there is a three-dose vaccine available, which is recommended for children aged nine to 16 years. It slashes the risk of a symptomatic infection by about 80 percent.

Posted Mar 24, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
President Donald Trump on Monday said the United States has engaged in “very strong talks” with Iran and reached “major points of agreement” that could end the war, which Iranian officials have firmly denied.
He then claimed that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner spoke with a leader in the Iranian regime on Sunday and would continue talks by phone on Monday.“They want very much to make a deal. We’d like to make a deal, too.”
Trump added that if negotiations fall apart, “we’ll just keep bombing our little hearts out.”
Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, on Monday said “no negotiations have been held with the US.” Iran’s foreign ministry also denied Trump’s claims about negotiations, according to Iranian state-run media.
In response to Trump’s threats, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that the conflict and its impact on Hormuz has threatened global energy security as well as China’s oil supplies. He warned that Trump’s “use of force will only lead to a vicious cycle.” He added:
“If the war expands further and the situation deteriorates again, the entire region could be plunged into an uncontrollable situation.”
Beijing is a partner of Iran, which has been the victim of this war of aggression launched at the insistance of Netanyahu. China has, however, objected to Tehran’s retaliatory strikes against Gulf States housing US military bases, which has triggered a widening regional war and threatens a major energy and debt crisis.
The real concern is that Trump realized that bombing their energy sector would only result in a retaliation against the Gulf States taking out their production capacity and refineries. Doing that will send oil prices dramatically higher for this is not sinking a mere tanker which is no more than a rounding error in global finance. Take out the production leaves a structure crisis more akin to the ’70s.
Moreover, there is also a fear here is that Trump is not a man of his word and he has turned and bombed in the middle of negotiations. The concern here is that this is a story to delay any bombing in 48 hours without admitted that there was no negotiation raising fears that he could then just claim the negotiations fell apart and then bomb then next week.
The grandfather of Neocons after John McCain died, became Senator Lindsey Graham, who is now boasting about this war with Iran with zero comprehension of how this war impacts the world economy unlike that of Ukraine or even Taiwan. He has expressed support for the U.S. invasion and even seizing Iran’s Kharg Island. Of course, he speaks from the typical neocon arrogance that stems from their delusion that the US has the biggest military and that means they are invincible.
He has zero understanding of the world financial markets and never considers that the Dow Jones Industrials can still fall to the 43,900 level even by next week. Such a move could also send crude oil to $175 by next week.

Alleged Iranian spies are already in the US — and infiltrating Silicon Valley
By Isabel Vincent
Published March 23, 2026, 5:00 p.m. ETAlleged Iranian spies with ties to regime bigwigs have been charged with infiltrating Silicon Valley.
Last month, a federal grand jury indicted three Iranian software engineers for allegedly stealing trade secrets from tech companies, including Google.
Two of the suspects are sisters, Samaneh Ghandali, 41, and Sorvoor Ghandali, 32. They were charged alongside Mohammadjavad Khosravi, 40, who is Samaneh’s husband, with allegedly using their employment at unidentified technology companies to “obtain access to confidential and sensitive information,” according to the Department of Justice.
The tech workers then allegedly “exfiltrated confidential and sensitive documents, including trade secrets related to processor security and cryptography and other technologies, from Google and other technology companies.”
They are then accused of transferring the confidential data to other locations, including Iran, according to the indictment. They have all pleaded not guilty.
The Ghandali sisters’ father is Iranian regime insider Shahabeddin Ghandali, a former chief executive of the Teachers Investment Fund Corporation back in Iran. He was arrested and charged over an embezzlement of $2.5 billion in 2016, and fraud involving Iran’s Bank Sarmayeh, according to reports. Although arrested, it is unclear if he was ever prosecuted in relation to the scheme, as others were.
Opponents of the Iranian regime in the US say that the family connections could have facilitated the alleged spying.
“The issue is risk, access, and vulnerability,” said Iranian human rights activist Lawdan Bazargan, who heads the Alliance Against Islamic Regime of Iran Apologists.
“When individuals connected to powerful networks in an authoritarian system enter universities and research centers, they gain access not only to advanced technology but also to professional networks and institutional trust. In certain cases … access can be abused.”
There are other examples of the Iranian regime’s tentacles finding their way into US institutions.
Kaveh Lotfolah Afrasiabi, a prominent Iranian-American political science professor who has taught at Harvard and other elite universities, was charged with failing to register as a foreign agent for Iran under the Foreign Agents Registration Act in 2021.
Prosecutors claimed that for more than 10 years, he was secretly working for the government of Iran and the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations (IMUN) “to spread their propaganda.”
Afrasiabi, a frequent contributor to the New York Times, had collected more than $250,000 in checks drawn on IMUN’s official bank account since 2007 and received health insurance through the IMUN employee health benefit plans since 2011, according to a federal complaint against him.
“Mr. Afrasiabi never disclosed to a congressman, journalists or others who hold roles of influence in our country that he was being paid by the Iranian government to paint an untruthfully positive picture of the nation,” claimed the Department of Justice in a press release. The same document alleged Afrasiabi lobbied an unnamed congressman and gave the Iranian ambassador to the UN advice for “retaliation” for the US military airstrike that killed Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the head of the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Soleimani was killed in a US strike on Baghdad on January 3, 2020.
Afrasiabi also allegedly proposed the Iranian government “end all inspections and end all information on Iran’s nuclear activities pending a [United Nations Security Council] condemnation of [the United States’] illegal crime” of killing Soleimani, according to the complaint. Afrasiabi claimed the move would “strike fear in the heart of [the] enemy.”
Afrasiabi pleaded not guilty, calling himself a “consultant” to Iran’s UN mission in a televised interview last year.
He said he was a political target of the first Trump administration and called himself “an agent of peace committed to US-Iran reconciliation and peace and dialogue.”
President Joe Biden issued a full pardon for Afrasiabi as part of a prisoner swap in 2023. He is still believed to be in the US.
In another case, Iranian-American Ahmadreza Mohammadi-Doostdar pleaded guilty to acting as a foreign agent of Iran in 2019. Mohammadi-Doostdar, whose brother teaches Islamic studies at the University of Chicago, conducted surveillance of Jewish organizations at that school, federal prosecutors claimed.
They also accused him of conducting surveillance of Iranian-Americans who were members of Mujahedin-e Khalq, a militant Iranian regime opposition group.
Mohammadi-Doostdar’s father, Hossein Mohammadi-Doostdar, is the former head of Iran’s College Publications Center.
Ahmadreza was sentenced to just over three years in prison. An Iranian co-conspirator based in California, Majid Ghorbani, was sentenced to 30 months, according to the Justice Department.

Bills in 3 states would declare COVID mRNA shots ‘weapons of mass destruction’
Lawmakers in Tennessee, Arizona, and Minnesota have introduced legislation to prohibit the possession and distribution of dangerous mRNA shots, which are linked to thousands of deaths.
Mon Mar 23, 2026 - 2:04 pm EDT
(LifeSiteNews) — Three U.S. states – Minnesota, Arizona, and Tennessee – have now introduced legislation designating COVID-19 mRNA injections as “Biological Weapons of Mass Destruction.”
Last year, Minnesota was the first to propose a law criminalizing mRNA jabs, followed by Arizona earlier this year and now Tennessee. Idaho, Iowa, Montana, South Carolina and Tennessee had previously sought to restrict the use of mRNA technology.
“As all of these declarations mount, it’s only a matter of time before these injections become outlawed,” predicted Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, epidemiologist and administrator at the McCullough Foundation, in a recent podcast.
Hulscher noted that if the Arizona bill gets enacted into law, “Possessing, distributing, or manufacturing these shots will constitute terrorism-related charges and life imprisonment.”
“And rightfully so,” he added, “given that these shots have killed, injured, and disabled millions upon millions of people across the globe, rivaling hundreds of Hiroshima nuclear attacks.”
Hulscher has previously asserted that the “COVID-19 mRNA Injections violate the Biological Weapons Convention, Nuremberg Code, Helsinki Declaration, and U.S. Constitution.”
The Minnesota bill clearly states, “It is the intent of the legislature to designate mRNA injections and products as weapons of mass destruction.”
Tennessee’s bill, known as the “mRNA Bioweapons Prohibition Act,” which was introduced last week, prohibits “the manufacture, acquisition, possession, or making accessible to others of mRNA injections and products; requires state and local government officials to use all lawful means necessary to investigate or enforce suspected violations; punishes violations the same as manufacturing, acquiring, possessing, or transferring a weapon of mass destruction, which is a Class B felony.”
mRNA vaccines ‘were never safe nor effective’
mRNA-based injections instruct human cells to produce a genetically engineered version of coronavirus “spike protein” in order to trigger an immune system response.
Developers of the mRNA vaccines failed to foresee that, once inside the body, the repeated development of the spike proteins can’t be controlled. For some recipients of the vaccines, their bodies became a human factory for the production of the spike protein, able to travel via the bloodstream from the injection site to their entire body, including major organs, the brain, liver, spleen, bone marrow, and reproductive organs.
As the immune system does its job attacking the cells it recognizes as “infected” due to the presence of the spike proteins, it attacks those organs and tissues, causing inflammation, myocarditis, and grotesque blood clots.
LifeSiteNews reported last fall that more than 81,000 physicians, scientists, researchers, and concerned citizens, 240 elected government officials, and 17 professional public health and physician organizations have demanded withdrawal of the COVID-19 shots from the market.
The total number of COVID-19 shot deaths reported to VAERS-adjusted deaths exceeds 589,000 in the U.S. and 17 million around the globe.

Old Posting from 4Chan Outlines CURRENT Iran War - Too Well
Hal Turner World March 22, 2026 Hits: 45226
The present, ongoing war with Iran was predicted ONE DAY after the "12 Day War" ended. The "prediction" is eerily accurate so far.
If it is correct, we are heading into losing two aircraft carriers, exchange of tactical nuclear weapons, and seeing open Civil War inside the United States.
12 Day War:
The Twelve-Day War, an armed conflict between Iran and Israel, was fought from 13 June to 24 June 2025. The conflict involved Israeli air strikes against Iranian military and nuclear facilities (Operation Rising Lion) and Iranian retaliation via missile and drone strikes (Operation True Promise III), with US involvement occurring near the end.
Key details regarding the conflict:
Conflict Context: The war began on 13 June 2025, following a surprise attack by Israel, prompting a direct, large-scale confrontation between the two nations.
Ceasefire: Under pressure from the United States, both parties agreed to a ceasefire on 24 June 2025.
Involvement: The United States participated directly on 22 June 2025 by striking Iranian nuclear sites, known as Operation Midnight Hammer.
Impact: The war resulted in significant casualties and damage within Iran and initiated a new phase of open warfare, according to analysis from the International Institute for Strategic Studies and reports from Simple English Wikipedia.
ONE DAY AFTER THAT WAR STOPPED
As reported above, the 12 Day war stopped on 24 June, 2025. The very next day, June 25, an anonymous posting on the Internet web forum "4 Chan" outlined what was coming. The outline is a little too perfect so far:
Scribe note: Click on the Hal Turner article link at end article to read the list.
I found this to be really creepy as to its accuracy. The first FIVE seem to be done already!
-- Israel breaks ceasefire and attacks Iran again - DONE
-- Trump responds with B2 Bunker Busters on nuclear sites - DONE
-- Iran hits all Gulf oil fields, and US Bases, Blocks Hormuz and Bab al-Maneb - Oil fields, bases, Hormuz - DONE (Al Mandeb would likely have to be done by the Houthis in Yemen and it does NOT seem to be done yet)
-- Oil prices skyrocket, Blackouts in Africa and Third World -- Prices skyrocketing -- DONE (Blackouts not beginning just yet)
-- US sends three aircraft carriers -- DONE
-- Iran, Russia and China SINK at least two aircraft carriers (NOT DONE . . . . YET)
As you go farther down the list, it mentions an amphibious invasion by the US. Clearly that is exactly pending with the dispatching of now 8,000 Marines and Sailors on a total of three amphibious assault groups.
The rest of the list is staggering in its detail, including the "Civil War" in the United States.
It's almost as if a person with inside knowledge of a specific plan, leaked it.
Since several of the items on this list have already taken place, and in the order they appear on the list, one has to wonder how many others will take place?
I don't like this. At all.
Like you, I have no control over any of it. But I __can__ control how well I prepare to stay alive if all this comes to pass. Emergency food, water, medicines I need to live on, a way to generate electricity if the grid goes down - generator/solar, fuel for that generator, COMMUNICATIONS GEAR (CB or HAM radio) and so on.
GET RIGHT WITH GOD. I mean it. If you have not prayed in ages, and are a little embarrassed, go in your bathroom and close the door. Get down on your knees and pray! Tell God "Hi God, it's me (so and so) and I know I haven't prayed to you in years, but things are getting really bad now, and I want to come back to you.
Tell him what's going on, tell him what you fear. Tell him you don't have the ability to protect yourself from what's coming, and that you thought you should pray to Him for protection.
Confess your sins, tell Him you REPENT and ask for His forgiveness.
Tell Him you're gonna do a better job of remembering that He is God, and you'll be in touch far more often if it's OK with Him.
Look, I'm not a Priest, or a Pastor, or a Reverend, or a Minister. I'm just a regular guy, just like you. I can't give Religious advice or tell you how to get right with God in some official, ritualistic way, I don't know that stuff.
What I DO know is that each of us has to try. We have to make an effort. And an effort, it seems to me, begins by praying. So pray.
God is not some magician at our beckon call, to do magic tricks for us, or get us out of the mess we may have created. But He is real. He is there. He __can__ get us through things - but why should He if we don't even bother to ask?
Ask Him.
If the list above is right, we will see actual, kinetic Civil War here in the USA. I don't want that. I really don't. But I'm sad to say I believe it __ is __ coming.
Please prepare and get right with God.

March 22, 2026 by Michael
After this week is over, there may be no turning back. President Trump is literally threatening to “obliterate” Iran’s power grid, and the Iranians cannot do a thing to prevent that from happening. But in response, the Iranians are threatening to destroy oil and gas infrastructure all over the Persian Gulf. The Iranians have already destroyed 17 percent of Qatar’s Ras Laffan natural gas complex, and if they destroy the remaining 83 percent of that facility it will immediately plunge us into the greatest natural gas crisis in human history by a very wide margin. There would be widespread natural gas shortages, fertilizer plants all over the world would be forced to shut down, and hunger would run rampant. Approximately 20 percent of the world’s entire supply of liquified natural gas comes from Ras Laffan, and it will take 3 to 5 years to rebuild the portions of the complex that have already been destroyed. If the rest of the complex gets destroyed by Iran, it will be a cataclysmic event. When I say that, I am not exaggerating one bit. We really have reached a moment in human history that could change everything.
It all depends on what Donald Trump does next.
On Saturday, Trump gave the Iranians an ominous ultimatum.
Either they fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, or the U.S. military will destroy their power grid…
For reasons that I have discussed in previous articles, the Iranians are not going to give Donald Trump what he wants.
It just isn’t going to happen.
Instead of giving in to Trump’s demands, the Iranians are threatening to attack energy infrastructure throughout the Persian Gulf, and they are pledging to completely close the Strait of Hormuz…
In a response to Trump’s statements, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which is the central headquarters of the Iranian armed forces, said that it will fully close the Strait of Hormuz if “America’s threats regarding Iran’s power plants are implemented.”
Iran also warned that it would start targeting “all power plants, energy infrastructure, and information technology,” while any company in the region with American shareholders would also become a target.
Finally, Iran threatened to attack the power plants of any country in the region hosting American military bases.
“Everything is ready for a great jihad with the aim of completely destroying all economic interests of America in the Middle East,” the statement said.
So what happens if the Iranians wipe out Qatar’s Ras Laffan natural gas complex and other extremely critical energy production facilities in other Gulf countries?
What would Trump’s next move be then?
Would he send in U.S. ground troops?
CBS News is already reporting that U.S. officials have “made detailed preparations for deploying U.S. ground forces into Iran”…
Pentagon officials have made detailed preparations for deploying U.S. ground forces into Iran, multiple sources briefed on the discussions told CBS News.
Senior military commanders have submitted specific requests aimed at preparing for such an option as President Trump weighs moves in the U.S.-Israel-led conflict with Iran, the sources said.
The most likely target for U.S. ground troops would be Kharg Island, and the Iranians are promising that we will “suffer losses that are unprecedented since World War II” if Trump tries to do that…
An Iranian military source warned that new U.S. strikes or an invasion of Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub, could prompt Tehran to escalate by threatening nearby waterways, including the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, telling the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-affiliated Tasnim News Agency the United States would face an “unprecedented” response.
On a potential U.S. invasion of the island, the official warned that American troops would struggle to defend it and would “suffer losses that are unprecedented since World War II.”
How far up the escalation ladder are we willing to go?
It sounds like Israel is ready to raise the stakes as well.
The Iranians have been hitting Israeli population centers with cluster munitions, and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz is warning that if this continues his nation will “hit Iran so hard it will be sent back decades”…
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel would send Iran “back decades” if it continues targeting cities, accusing Tehran of deliberately firing on civilian population centers.
“If this continues, we’ll be sure to hit Iran so hard it will be sent back decades,” Katz said while visiting the site of a missile strike in Arad that injured scores.
If the U.S. and Israel push Iran to the wall, will the Iranians unleash any unconventional weapons that they have been holding in reserve?
In such a scenario, how would the U.S. and Israel react?
We are only a couple of steps away from an apocalyptic scenario.
Already, the damage that this war has done has set the global economy back for years.
The price of oil is causing major problems all over the globe, and experts are warning that we could eventually see it reach $200 a barrel…
Vandana Hari, founder of oil market analysis firm Vanda Insights, warned: “Benchmark Middle Eastern crudes like Oman and Dubai have already crossed the $150 threshold, so $200 is already within sight, even if not for Brent and West Texas Intermediate.”
Analysts at consultancy Wood Mackenzie have also said Brent could soon hit $150 and that $200 oil is not “outside the realms of possibility” in 2026.
If this war stretches on for an extended period of time, the pain that we will experience is going to be immense.
I am already hearing of diesel shortages in some parts of the world, and United Airlines has already canceled approximately 5 percent of this year’s planned flights…
United Airlines (UAL) CEO Scott Kirby said on Friday the airline will cancel about 5% of this year’s planned flights in the short term, as jet fuel prices surge due to the Middle East conflict.
“If prices stayed at this level, it would mean an extra $11 billion in annual expense just for jet fuel,” Kirby said in a message to employees posted on its website.
Of course the natural gas crisis that we are facing could potentially be even worse.
If this war lasts for a number of months, we could literally have to deal with “a full-blown economic emergency across Europe, the UK and large parts of Asia”…
Bank of America has warned European gas prices could surge from around
€29 to as high as €500 this winter if the strait stays shut for an extended period, far exceeding levels seen after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.Such a spike would trigger what analysts describe as a full-blown economic emergency across Europe, the UK and large parts of Asia, with energy costs spiralling and industries forced to cut back, The Telegraph reports
Needless to say, natural gas is also a primary raw material that is used in the production of nitrogen fertilizer.
Normally, close to a third of all fertilizer that is traded globally travels through the Strait of Hormuz…
About a third of all fertilizer shipped globally goes through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow passage between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Now, shipping traffic has been reduced to a trickle because of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, and the prices of goods like oil, natural gas, and fertilizer have been rising.
“Fertilizer prices are way up. They’re up around 30 percent more in some parts of the world, and that’s significant,” says Noah Gordon, fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iran are big global producers of fertilizer, and they export the raw ingredients other countries use to make their own fertilizers, like natural gas and minerals.
But that is only part of the story.
Because they are not able to get liquified natural gas from the Persian Gulf right now, fertilizer plants in other parts of the globe are being forced to close down…
The Carnegie Endowment noted fertilizer production in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan has shut down because those countries cannot get natural gas from Qatar, and Egypt, another producer, has had to turn to the more expensive LNG market because its supplies from Israel have been disrupted.
This is planting season for farmers all over the northern hemisphere.
In many poorer countries, there simply won’t be enough fertilizer this year.
In wealthier countries, fertilizer will be available, but it will cost far more than it usually does…
Tennessee farmer Todd Littleton expects to pay $100,000 more for fertilizer this season, a 40% spike from his bill last year thanks to the war in Iran — and he is scrambling to cover that extra cost.
“The problem is, is we’re so strained financially coming into this issue,” said Littleton, a third-generation farmer from Gibson County in the state’s northwest corner. “We have had a couple of record losses the last couple years, so everyone’s kind of grabbing at straws anyway, and then to have input prices increase yet again, it just really couldn’t happen at a worse time.”
Littleton, who grows corn, soybeans and wheat, is among thousands of farmers across the country who will pay far more this spring than they expected for fertilizer that is essential to their crops. Nitrogen-based fertilizer is especially vital for corn, usually the largest crop in the U.S. — and one that feeds the nation’s livestock and is converted into fuel that helps power most U.S. cars and trucks.
The crops that will be primarily affected by this fertilizer crisis will be those that are planted annually.
This is such an important point.
For example, nitrogen fertilizer is widely used by wheat farmers to maximize yield, improve grain quality, and promote healthy growth. A lack of fertilizer will mean that less wheat will be grown around the world in 2026 and prices will soar.
Barley is another example of an annual crop that is heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer because it promotes leaf and stem development, significantly affecting both yield and crop quality. By the end of this year, barley prices are likely to be far higher than they are now.
On the other hand, crops that do not have to be planted annually will fare much better.
Grape vines can live for 50 to 100 years, and they will just keep producing year after year.
Olive trees commonly live for hundreds of years, and some can even survive for more than 1,000 years. Incredibly, there are examples of olive trees that have been around for more than a millennium that are still bearing fruit.
What I am saying is that annual crops like wheat and barley could be absolutely devastated by this current crisis, while crops that do not have to be planted annually such as grapes and olives will not experience much disruption.
So much is going to depend on what happens this week.
Decisions that are being made right now are going to deeply affect every single one of us, and so let us hope that our leaders make their decisions wisely.

Neither missile hit the base, with one failing midflight and a US warship firing an interceptor at the other; attempted strike suggests Iran’s missiles may reach about 4,000 kilometers, farther than it has publicly stated
ynet|Yesterday | 20:41
Iran launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles toward Diego Garcia, a remote U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean, in an apparent attempt to project power far beyond the Middle East, according to U.S. officials cited by The Wall Street Journal.
Neither missile struck the base. One failed during flight, while a U.S. warship fired an SM-3 interceptor at the second, officials said. It was not immediately clear whether the interceptor successfully destroyed the missile.
The attempted strike highlights what appears to be a greater reach for Iran’s missile program than Tehran has publicly acknowledged. The base lies roughly 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) from Iran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said last month that Iran had intentionally limited its missile range to 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles). However, independent assessments have suggested longer capabilities. Iran Watch, part of the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, says Iran possesses missiles capable of reaching up to 4,000 kilometers, while Israel’s Alma Research and Education Center has estimated a range of about 3,000 kilometers, with indications of further development.
Diego Garcia, located in the British Indian Ocean Territory, is a key strategic hub for U.S. forces, hosting long-range bombers, nuclear submarines and guided-missile destroyers. The attempted strike underscores the base’s importance and Iran’s apparent willingness to target distant U.S. military assets.

Was Iran a Threat to America? Yes. The Long History of Iran's Attacks and the Danger of a Nuclear Iran
Dale Hurd 03-20-2026
When President Trump's Director of Counterterrorism quit this week over the Iran war, Joe Kent wrote in his resignation letter that, "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."
Tucker Carlson has said the chances of Iran ever launching a nuclear weapon were "zero."
Megyn Kelly says American servicemen and women are fighting "…for a foreign country. This feels very much to me like Israel's war."
Since the 1979 embassy takeover in Tehran, however, Iran has engaged in a non-stop campaign of asymmetric warfare against the United States.
Iran and its proxies have attacked, kidnapped, and killed Americans some 45 times since the Iranian revolution. And that doesn't include the hundreds of Americans killed and maimed in Iraq by Iran's allies.
***Please sign up for CBN Newsletters and download the CBN News app to receive the latest news from a Christian perspective.***
Tzvi Kahn has compiled a complete history of the attacks for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Kahn says, "The hostage crisis at the U.S. embassy in Tehran, when Iranian students backed by the regime, took several dozen American hostages for 444 days…that, you could say, was sort of the opening shot in the conflict between the United States and Iran. And what we saw in the 47 years since it's been a sustained campaign by the regime to target Americans in the Middle East and throughout the world."
Since 1979, Iran and its proxies have killed Americans in more than 30 attacks:
In 1983, Iranian-backed terrorists car-bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 17 Americans.
In October 1983, also in Beirut, a truck bomb at the Marine compound took the lives of 241 U.S. military personnel.
In 1996, a truck bomb blew up the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, killing 19 Americans and injuring 500.
In 1998, Iran helped al-Qaeda suicide bombers blow up the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans.
During the Iraq war, Iran-backed militias killed at least 603 U.S. troops, often with IEDs.
Iran was directly involved in the October 7th massacre, resulting in the murders of 46 Americans in Israel, along with 1,200 Israelis.
And the Iranian regime is still trying to kill President Trump.
The first targeted U.S. military attack on Iran was not until 2020, when a drone strike killed Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani.
Kahn says, "We never really saw a sustained, aggressive campaign by the United States against Iran. What we really saw instead was an attempt to negotiate with the regime, to pacify the regime."
The Obama and Biden administrations gave back to Iran $17 billion in frozen assets, after which the regime attacked the U.S. again.
Barak Seener, Senior Associate Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society in London, says, "This war in Iran is well overdue."
Seener says because of the Iranian leadership's Muslim belief that there must be a global war to usher in the return of their Mahdi, or Twelfth Imam, it could never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
"Their confrontational posture towards the West is informed by this theocratic and nihilistic philosophy. This also courts confrontation, courts even, their own suicide by the return of the Twelfth Imam," Seener said.
Both experts agree that the Iranian regime will keep on killing Americans until it is stopped.

S International US / CanadaUS floods market with 140 million barrels of Iranian oil to ease oil price pressure
“By temporarily unlocking this supply, the United States will expand global energy availability and help ease short-term market pressures caused by Iran’s own actions.”
i24NEWS
The US Treasury Department on Friday announced a new measure aimed at countering Iran’s influence over global energy markets, unveiling a temporary authorization to release millions of barrels of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea.
In a sharply worded statement, Treasury Secretary Bessent described Iran as “the head of the snake” in global terrorism, accusing Tehran of orchestrating attacks on critical energy infrastructure and destabilizing key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.
Under the new policy, the Treasury will permit the limited sale of approximately 140 million barrels of Iranian oil already in transit or in storage offshore.
Officials emphasized that the authorization is narrowly tailored and short-term, applying only to existing supplies and not allowing any new production or purchases from Iran.
“At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China at discounted prices,” the statement said. “By temporarily unlocking this supply, the United States will expand global energy availability and help ease short-term market pressures caused by Iran’s own actions.”
Treasury officials framed the move as both an economic and strategic maneuver-one that uses Iran’s own resources against it. They stressed that despite the temporary easing, Tehran would face significant barriers in accessing any resulting revenue, as US sanctions on Iran’s financial system remain firmly in place.
The announcement comes amid heightened concerns over global energy stability, following reported disruptions linked to tensions in the Middle East. The administration argues that increasing supply now will prevent price spikes and reinforce market confidence.
According to the Treasury, the Trump administration has already worked to bring roughly 440 million additional barrels of oil into global markets through a combination of domestic production increases and coordination with international partners.
“Any short-term disruption,” the statement concluded, “will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans—because there is no prosperity without security.”

FLASH TRAFFIC -- URGENT -- BULLETIN -- Weapons of Mass Destruction Reported to be Released by Iran "as Early As Tomorrow"
Hal Turner World March 19, 2026 Hits: 29975
As the global economy continues its downward spiral, and national debts continue their unstoppable upward surge, all thinking people knew that some "False Flag" or "Black Swan" would be perpetrated that politicians could blame for economic collapse. Today at 3:14 PM eastern US time, we got the heads-up: "Iran" and "WMD."
A man named Mudar Adnan Zahran who is the elected Secretary General of Jordan's Opposition Coalition, made a posting on the social media platform "X" which read as follows:
"URGENT — Western sources warn: Iran is preparing to deploy internationally banned weapons of mass destruction against Gulf nations, potentially “as early as tomorrow”.
We stand with the people of the Gulf and we pray for their safety in the face of Iran’s lunacy. #Iran #UAE #Qatar #Kuwait #Bahrain
Here is a screen shot of the posting:
Here is a direct link to the original posting: https://x.com/Mudar_Zahran/status/2034710026565423317
The "Black Swan" They Need to BLAME for Economic Collapse
Think about what this ____ may ____ mean. The US Government is Bankrupt. Their national debt hit $39 TRILLION just yesterday. They have no way to pay it off and with the debt rising another $1 TRILLION every 100 days or so, the federal government of the United States has spent the country into oblivion.
They can't cut spending because they'd be voted out of office, and a lot of these people are so craven for power, they would rather burn the whole world down to rule over its ashes, than to give up power.
So they NEED a way to get rid of this debt without being BLAMED for the spending that caused it.
War is the method used throughout history to reset national debt. When countries are smashed, wrecked, destroyed, they go to their creditors and say "Our country is smashed, our economy is ruined, we have no way at all to pay you, we need debt forgiveness."
The Creditors see the reality and have no choice but to forgive the debt.
Well that worked when countries Debt's were merely in the Billions, but it damn sure won't work with a country like the USA that owes TRILLIONS. The only hope the US would have for forgiveness of THAT debt would be nuclear war. But that's the ultimate loser for everyone - so how do they do this without destroying the planet? BIO-WEAPONS!
Release a Bio-Weapon to start slaughtering millions of people. BLAME IT on Iran. The whole world knows there's a war going on over there. The excuse for the war was Iran trying to get nuclear weapons.
But the war isn't going so well for Israel and the USA. Iran isn't rolling over and capitulating. ANd now, the US and Israel are running out of missile defenses.
Once those defenses are gone, Israel can be pummeled out of existence by Iran.
Sooooooooooooooooo . . . . replay the Saddam Hussein "Weapons of Mass Destruction" lie only THIS TIME, actually release a military grade bio-weapon. BLAME IT on Iran!
They have all the experience they need with handling this: they tested the whole response with COVID.
LOCK DOWNS. No work. No travel. No shopping. No gatherings.
What does that cause? No commerce. No food in stores. No money for people to buy anything.
Businesses collapse. Commercial Mortgages don't get paid. Credit cards, car loans, Residential mortgages, go unpaid. Banks collapse.
GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.
All blamed on: Iran.
There was never once any allegation, anywhere, that Iran had "Weapons of Mass Destruction" other than the nukes they were supposedly trying to build.
Yet today, the Secretary General of the Jordan Opposition Coalition in Jordan's Parliament, posts his little urgent warning on social media. How does THAT happen?
Because the people who are actually going to do it, WANT Iran Blamed. It provides cover for them intentionally destroying the global economy to usher in their new world order.
What did the World Economic Forum used to say? "You will own nothing and be happy."
Here it comes. And Iran provides the perfect excuse and cover for it.
The whole world sinks into global economic depression and collapse. Everything stops. The perfect excuse for their "Great Reset." Perfect excuse for "safe" Central Bank Digital Currency" which , unlike "dirty" cash money, won't spread the disease.
Of course, every country on earth has to get debt forgiveness; they're all in the same boat. Gee, how conveneient.
Travel restrictions. 15 minute cities. Limits on food purchases. For YEARS!
And by the time it is all over, perhaps hundreds of millions, maybe even billions will be dead. The global economy won't exist. And everything will have to start over.
With the very same people in charge who caused it all to begin with.
Earth. Slave Planet. Coming soon?

The Gulf monarchies built modern states on a promise of order, growth, and security. Iran has attacked all three. They now face a test of seriousness.
By J POST EDITORIAL MARCH 20, 2026 06:00
Iran has now shown the Gulf states exactly what Israel has been saying for years: This regime does not threaten only Jerusalem. It threatens Doha, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Manama, Kuwait City, and every economy and shipping lane tied to this region’s stability.
After Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, Tehran answered by targeting Gulf energy infrastructure, including Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial area, facilities in Saudi Arabia, and sites in the UAE and Kuwait. Gulf states then rushed to the United Nations Human Rights Council to condemn those attacks as unprovoked assaults on civilians and critical infrastructure.
That should end the old game.
For too long, some Arab states, especially in the Gulf, have tried to live in two worlds at once. In one world, they speak publicly about restraint, de-escalation, and Israeli responsibility. In the other, they make clear through diplomacy, security channels, and strategic behavior that the Iranian regime is their problem too.
The failure of neutrality
This week exposed the cost of that ambiguity. Countries that sought distance from the war still found themselves in the crosshairs. Gulf states had assured Tehran they would not support anti-Iran operations from their territory, Reuters reported, yet Iran struck them anyway.
That is the point Israel should press, clearly and without apology: Neutrality has failed.
Iran does not divide the region into “combatants” and “noncombatants” in the way some diplomats in the Gulf still seem to imagine. Tehran divides it into targets and future targets. The regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps see Gulf energy fields, ports, desalination systems, airports, and American-linked military assets as legitimate pressure points.
The attack on Ras Laffan, one of the most important LNG hubs in the world, was a message written in fire. So were the strikes and interceptions around Saudi and Emirati facilities.
Iran dragging Gulf into war
The strategic reality is now obvious: Israel is not dragging the Gulf into a war. Iran is.
Even after these attacks, several Arab and Muslim countries gathered in Riyadh and condemned Iran’s strikes as “heinous,” while also preserving the usual regional language about Israeli actions elsewhere.
That formula may still serve diplomatic protocol. It does not serve a strategy. A country cannot condemn Iran for hitting its airports and oil facilities, ask the international community for protection, and still behave as though Israel’s campaign against the same regime is some unrelated problem.
The Gulf does not need to send divisions to the front. It does not need grand speeches or dramatic declarations. It does need to choose a side in practical terms.
That means fuller intelligence cooperation. It means stronger air- and missile-defense coordination. It means real maritime participation in protecting freedom of navigation and the Strait of Hormuz. It means closing financial, logistical, and media loopholes that Iran and its networks still exploit.
It means saying publicly, in Arabic and in English, that the regime in Tehran is the central source of this escalation, and that defeating its war machine serves Arab interests no less than Israeli ones.
Some will argue that Gulf governments are acting cautiously because they fear domestic opinion, Iranian retaliation, or economic shock. Those concerns are real. They are also overtaken by events.
Oil prices have surged, shipping has been disrupted, and Gulf infrastructure has already been hit. The choice is no longer between calm and risk. The choice is between absorbing risk passively or confronting the source of it with allies.
Arab leaders, especially in the Gulf, should stop scolding Israel in public while hoping in private that Israel and the US finish the job. If they believe, as many clearly do, that a weakened or defeated Iranian regime would make the region safer, they should start acting like it. If they believe Tehran is a danger to their citizens and economies, they should say so plainly. If they expect Washington and Jerusalem to bear the military burden, they should stop pretending they are detached observers.
History rarely offers comfortable timing. It does, however, offer moments of clarity. This is one of them.
The Gulf monarchies built modern states on a promise of order, growth, and security. Iran has attacked all three. They now face a test of seriousness. They can continue issuing balanced statements that age badly within hours, or they can join the camp that is actually trying to break the regime’s capacity to terrorize the region.
This war has already reached their shores. The only question left is whether they will keep speaking as bystanders or finally act like stakeholders.

'We Sensed the Hand of God': God Protected These Christians from Iran's Missiles
Lorie Johnson 03-19-2026
When Iran began firing missiles at Israel three weeks ago in response to military action against its regime, some Christian tourists unexpectedly found themselves in harm's way. They made it home safely, and one member of the group then found herself in the midst of another harrowing experience – a campus shooting.
Pastor Gabe Turner, who leads Charlottesville, Virginia's The Point Church was preaching to nearly 60 American Christians atop the beautiful Mount of Olives. He told CBN News he's done it many times before, as he leads a group to the Holy Land every two or three years. However, unlike previous trips, sirens began blaring, indicating a possible Iranian missile attack.
"None of us had ever been in any experience like that before," he said, "but we could just sense the hand of God and the peace of God in such a supernatural way."
Their Israeli tour guide, Ofer Ashkenazi, told CBN News he's responsible for the safety of the group and had to take quick action.
"The first thing we did, actually, was to take them into a shelter, which, sadly enough, happily enough, it's the bathroom over there," he said. "So we all went down underground into the bathroom."
Shortly afterwards, they carefully made it back to their hotel bomb shelter. Lydia Wilson, a college student who was part of the Christian group from Virginia, told CBN News that despite the danger, they felt the presence of God.

"We were constantly in prayer. And then I know we had people from back home, our church family, they were all praying for us as well. And we felt that. We felt the prayers," she said. "And I can't speak for everyone, but I just kind of had an overwhelming sense of peace. I didn't think that I was, obviously, we were in the middle of everything. We were in danger, but I didn't necessarily feel like I was, if that makes sense."
Throughout their ordeal, the group would eventually seek shelter a total of 24 times.
"We just sensed the hand of God," said Pastor Turner, "the protection of God over us. We leaned heavily into Psalm 121 that, 'God who watches over Jerusalem will never slumber or sleep.'"
With airports in Israel and Jordan closed, the group drove four hours to Eilat, in southern Israel, to spend the night. The next morning, they crossed into Egypt, driving another 10 hours to the Cairo airport, and flew back home.
Israeli tourism, a major industry, is now on hold until after the war.
"As a tour guide, we get paid for the day we are guiding. If there is no guiding, there is no work," Ashkenazi said.
Israelis prefer a quick end to the conflict, that also ends the current regime in Iran.
"If the regime is not going to be changed by the end of the war, we are going to have another war in two years, in three years, whatever it is, it's going to be again and again and again," Ashkenazi said.
Like most members of the church group who arrived safely back home from Israel, Lydia Wilson felt grateful to God. However, as an Old Dominion University student, she came back from her harrowing experience only to face another. A shooting happened in the very building Lydia attends class. At the time, however, she was in her nearby apartment.
"It kind of brought back some of those same fears, like I mentioned, from Israel," she said. "Just because we had those same sirens constantly playing. And it was just like, I don't know, kind of triggered something like, 'Oh, I'm not safe right now,' but I know my roommate and I, we did immediately pray."
The gunman killed one and injured two others. Lydia and her roommate prayed for the victims and their families.
"There could have been more casualties. There could have been more people injured," she said. "I mean, it's just this constant, 'What if' and I think that in that sense, God kind of had His hand over all of us."
In this case, while facing danger in a war zone and here at home, these Christians experienced God's protection firsthand and peace, despite their circumstances.

Mossad chief: Overthrowing the Iranian regime is possible
TV report: Mossad chief David Barnea presented an assessment to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that toppling the Ayatollah regime is an achievable goal.

On the eve of the war with Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was presented with an assessment suggesting that the Iranian regime could be toppled, as reported on the Keshet 12 program "Uvda" on Thursday evening.
According to the report, in closed discussions prior to the start of the offensive, Mossad chief David Barnea presented to the political leadership an assessment that achieving operational objectives could lead to a regime change in Iran.
Sources stated that Barnea assessed that achieving the operational goals - primarily targeting the regime's leadership, government institutions, and repressive mechanisms - could destabilize the regime and create the possibility for regime change.
Barnea argued in the discussions that once the regime faces military instability, Israeli and US intelligence agencies would be able to "deliver the result." This refers to mobilizing millions of Iranians to the streets and supporting a governing alternative to fill the vacuum.
In a public statement on Thursday evening, Netanyahu outlined the main objectives of the war against Iran: “Our goals are three. One, removing the nuclear threat. Second, removing the ballistic missile threat and removing both of these threats before they're buried deep underground and become immune from aerial attack. And third, this means creating the conditions for the Iranian people to grasp their freedom, to control their destiny."

We continue to dismantle these capabilities. We will crush them completely, to dust."
At the same time, he emphasized that it is too early to determine how the situation will evolve within Iran: "It is too early to say whether the Iranian people will seize the conditions we are creating for them to take to the streets... It will depend entirely on them."

U.S. Informs Iran "U.S. to Exit Conflict" -- Iran Says "No"
Hal Turner World March 18, 2026 Hits: 26262
The USA informed Iran that they consider their military objectives achieved and are preparing to exit the conflict soon, noting that Israel still has some operational tasks to complete before its withdrawal from the war.
However, Iran completely rejected this message, stating that it is not interested in its content and will continue the war until it achieves its own long-term goals aimed at preventing the recurrence of such conflicts.
It is emphasized that even in the event of the USA and Israel's withdrawal, Iran will continue its actions until its goals are fully achieved, and any departure of Washington and Tel Aviv does not impose any obligations on Tehran.

Iran threatens to carry out terror attacks against U.S., Israeli officials 'even in entertainment centers'
The mullah regime has attempted and perpetrated numerous attacks against Israeli, Jewish and American targets throughout the decades
i24NEWS
The Islamic Republic on Friday threatened to carry out terrorist attacks against American and Israeli officials and army commanders, even while they are vacationing or visiting entertainment centres.
“We are watching your cowardly officials and commanders, pilots and wicked soldiers,” armed forces spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi was quoted by state TV as saying.
“From now on, based on the information we have on you, the promenades, resorts and tourist and entertainment centres in the world will not be safe for you either.”
The mullah regime has attempted and perpetrated numerous attacks against Israeli, Jewish and American targets throughout the decades, including bombing Jewish institutions in Argentina in the 1990s in two attacks that exacted high fatality tolls.

Saudi FM warns Iran: We reserve the right to military action
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud condemns Iran’s attacks on neighboring countries, stating Saudi Arabia reserves the right to respond militarily and demands Iran halt support for proxies.

Prince Faisal bin Farhan
ReutersSaudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud ripped Iran on Wednesday over its attacks on its neighboring countries, warning that Saudi Arabia reserves the right to respond militarily.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting of Arab and Islamic foreign ministers, Prince Faisal said that Iran “doesn’t believe in talking to its neighbors", adding that “it tries to pressure its neighbors" and stressed that the pressure is not going to work.
“The kingdom is not going to succumb to pressure, and, on the contrary, this pressure will backfire … politically, will backfire, I believe, morally, and certainly, as we have stated clearly, we reserve the right to take military actions if necessary," he stressed.
Prince Faisal rejected Iran’s claims that its attacks on civilian sites of neighboring countries are linked to the presence of US military bases as “unconvincing".
He further stated that foreign ministers at Wednesday’s meeting in Riyadh agreed that Iran must immediately stop supporting its proxies.
Prince Faisal said the little trust that remained in Iran has been completely shattered.
“Iran’s attacks on neighboring countries were premeditated, and what we are witnessing now confirms this," he said, adding, “I would hope that they understand the message of the meeting today, recalculate quickly and stop attacking their neighbors."
In the wake of the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, the Islamic Republic has launched attacks on its neighbors, including Saudi Arabia.
Several of these attacks targeted the US Embassy in Riyadh, including one in which the embassy was attacked by two drones, causing limited fire and minor material damage to the building.
The Washington Post reported, soon after the start of the strikes on Iran, that President Donald Trump launched the attack on Iran after a weeks-long lobbying effort by the leaders of Israel and Saudi Arabia.
According to the sources, the Saudi Crown Prince made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a US attack, in contrast to his public calls for a diplomatic solution.

Saudi Arabia vehemently denied the report, with a spokesperson for the Saudi embassy in Washington writing, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been consistent in supporting diplomatic efforts to reach a credible deal with Iran."
“At no point in all our communication with the Trump Administration did we lobby the President to adopt a different policy," he added.
More recently, Bloomberg reported that Saudi Arabia has stepped up its direct engagement with Iran in a bid to try and contain the war in the Middle East.

Six Iranian barrages overnight; sirens sound in northern and central Israel
Four sirens in three hours in northern Israel as another fragmented missile hits central areas; foreign worker killed in Sharon, three Palestinian women killed near Hebron
ynet|Updated:02:03
Iran launched a series of missile barrages toward northern Israel early Thursday, marking six attacks since midnight and triggering sirens across wide areas of the north.
Air raid alerts sounded in the Golan Heights, the Upper and Lower Galilee, the valleys, the Krayot and the Haifa area following the launches, according to IDF.

Impacts were reported in open areas in the north after what officials described as a limited barrage. Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service said no casualties had been reported, though teams treated several people who were injured while rushing to shelters.
The military had earlier identified launches from Iran toward northern Israel and issued warnings for multiple communities across the Golan Heights, where sirens were expected to sound.
The latest attacks come amid a broader escalation between Israel and Iran, with repeated overnight barrages targeting both northern and central areas of the country.
The repeated warnings came after a tense night of fire in northern Israel, with residents in border towns rushing to shelters again and again as incoming launches set off successive rounds of alerts across the region.
Late Wednesday, an Iranian cluster-style missile killed a migrant worker in central Israel after striking the town of Adanim in the Sharon region.
Magen David Adom said medics and paramedics found the man, about 30, with severe shrapnel wounds and no signs of life, and pronounced him dead at the scene. In a separate strike, an Iranian cluster munition hit a home in Jaljulia, damaging the building but causing no casualties.
Missile debris also struck an eight-story residential building in Tel Aviv. Searches at the scene found one person suffering from minor smoke inhalation. A resident told ynet that people had only just reached the shelter when a powerful blast was heard, and later emerged to find shattered glass, damaged cars and a hole on the seventh floor.
In a separate incident late Wednesday, an Iranian cluster-style missile fired toward southern Israel veered into the West Bank town of Beit Awwa, killing four Palestinian women inside a beauty salon and wounding six others, according to reports.
Israeli defense officials offered assistance in handling the scene, but Palestinian authorities said they had brought the area under control. The missile had been launched toward southern Israel at about 10 p.m., when sirens sounded across communities in the Judean foothills, the northern Negev and areas near the Gaza border.
The Palestinian Authority condemned the Iranian missile fire toward Gulf states, saying the “brutal aggression threatens the security and stability of the region.” Hamas did not issue a similar condemnation. The four women killed in Beit Awwa were not the first Palestinian victims of Iranian fire during the war. A day earlier, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry announced that a Palestinian woman was killed by an Iranian missile while driving in the United Arab Emirates.
Earlier Wednesday, sirens also sounded near Gaza border communities and across northern and central Israel following launches from Lebanon. Alerts were activated in the Upper Galilee, including Metula, Manara, Kfar Yuval and Dovev, as well as in Kiryat Shmona and nearby communities. Additional sirens were heard in the Sharon region and parts of the Shephelah.
Separately, the IDF said it killed Hassan Ali Marwan in Beirut overnight, identifying him as commander of Hezbollah’s Imam Hussein Division. According to the military, Marwan had taken over the role six days earlier after his predecessor was killed and had been responsible for coordinating with senior Hezbollah figures and Iran’s Quds Force, as well as overseeing missile, drone and rocket launches toward Israel and IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon.

Iran’s 'day after' debate shifts from regime change to who governs next - editorial
As Reza Pahlavi steps forward with a detailed post-regime vision, the conversation is shifting to what comes next and whether anyone is prepared for it.
ByJPOST EDITORIAL
MARCH 19, 2026 05:55
Updated: MARCH 19, 2026 07:43As the Islamic Republic trembles under internal dissent and external pressure, a once-theoretical question is becoming urgent: What comes the day after? For decades, Western policymakers focused on how to constrain Iran.
Now, as Reza Pahlavi steps forward with a detailed post-regime vision, the conversation is shifting to what comes next and whether anyone is prepared for it.
A recent Jerusalem Post report pointed to a striking reality. “Unlike many opposition figures, Pahlavi is not only calling for regime change but presenting a plan for what follows.” That distinction matters.
His proposed Iran Prosperity Project outlines a structured transition beginning the moment the Islamic Republic falls, including a provisional governing body, the restoration of order, and a rapid move toward a national referendum and elections within months.
That approach reflects lessons learned from the region. As a Post analysis noted, “Regime change without a clear framework risks repeating the failures seen in Iraq and Libya.” Those examples
continue to shape how policymakers think about Iran. The collapse of a regime, on its own, does not produce stability.It can just as easily produce a vacuum, competing militias, foreign interference, and years of bloodshed. That is precisely why planning matters now, before events begin moving faster than policymakers can manage.
Iran’s future: Roadmap or chaos after regime collapse
The substance of Pahlavi’s road map is therefore central to the discussion. His proposals include dismantling the Islamic Republic’s constitutional framework, replacing it with a democratic legal order, and maintaining continuity in essential services – from energy to financial systems – to prevent state collapse.
In theory, it offers a structured transition from upheaval to governance. It also tries to reassure Iranians that the fall of the regime would not have to mean the collapse of the state itself.
But theory is not reality.
The first question is legitimacy. Pahlavi’s name carries historical weight, both positive and negative. For some Iranians, particularly in the diaspora and among monarchist circles, the slogan “Javid shah” (Long live the shah) reflects a longing for pre-revolutionary stability.
For others, it raises memories of authoritarian rule and inequality. A transition led, even temporarily, by a figure tied to Iran’s past may struggle to unify a divided public.
The second question is internal traction. This paper’s coverage has highlighted Pahlavi’s growing visibility and his calls for Iranians to prepare for a decisive “final call” against the regime.
Visibility abroad, however, does not automatically translate into authority on the ground. Revolutions are shaped inside the country, on the streets, within the security forces, and across the networks that sustain power. Exiled leadership can inspire, but it cannot substitute for internal organization and legitimacy.
A third issue is the role of external actors. Israel and the US may help shape the strategic environment that weakens the Islamic Republic, but they cannot determine Tehran’s political future.
Even planning for a “day after Iran” scenario requires restraint. Transitional periods carry risks, including nuclear uncertainty, score-settling inside the regime, ethnic and regional fragmentation, and a scramble for control among armed factions.
Still, dismissing Pahlavi’s plan would be a mistake.
For the first time in years, there is a structured attempt to answer a question that has long hovered over discussions about Iran: If not the Islamic Republic, then what? His framework, while contested, provides a starting point.
It signals that regime change can be paired with an effort to preserve order, restore services, and create a path toward public legitimacy rather than chaos.
Iran’s future will not be decided by any single figure. It will emerge from a convergence of forces: protesters in Tehran, workers in provincial cities, elements within the security establishment, and voices in exile seeking to influence events.
The challenge is to remove a regime and replace it with something durable.
History offers a clear lesson. Revolutions are judged not only by how regimes fall but by what follows. Institutions must be rebuilt. Security must be restored without returning to repression. Political legitimacy must be earned over time.
Pahlavi’s vision attempts to address that gap. Whether it can succeed remains uncertain. But the existence of a plan, however debated, already changes the conversation.
For years, the question of Iran’s future was deferred. That is no longer the case.
If the Islamic Republic collapses tomorrow, the vacuum will not wait. The question is whether anyone is ready for what comes next.

Mar 18, 2026, 6:45 AM | Updated: 2:22 pm
BY CHARLIE HARGER
Host, Seattle's Morning News
Washington drivers are getting hit from two directions at the gas pump, and there is no relief in sight. The Iran war is sending prices surging nationwide, but Washington drivers are paying nearly $1.21 more per gallon than the average American, and experts say the state’s Climate Commitment Act is a big reason why.
The statewide average for a gallon of regular gasoline in Washington has reached $5.06, second only to California in the nation, according to AAA. Seattle’s average is even higher at $5.22 a gallon. The national average sits at $3.85.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, told “Seattle’s Morning News” on KIRO Newsradio that prices have surged roughly 80 cents a gallon in Washington in the last month alone, driven by the conflict in Iran and a series of compounding factors hitting the West Coast particularly hard.
Iran war sends diesel prices to record highs
The biggest driver of rising gas prices in 2026 is the war in Iran and the threat to oil tankers moving through the in Iran and the threat to oil tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz. De Haan said the blockage is affecting roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day, creating a massive supply imbalance that is pushing prices higher globally.
Diesel has been hit even harder. Washington’s diesel average has reached $6.05 a gallon. De Haan said the 14-day increase in diesel prices has now set a record, surpassing even the spike that followed Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine.“Even during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the increase to diesel was a $1.17. We’ve now exceeded that 14-day increase, about a $1.22,” De Haan said. “The fastest two-week increase in diesel prices on record, according to GasBuddy data.”
De Haan said Iran is unlikely to back down quickly.
“Iran probably sees the weakness. If oil markets suddenly go back to normal, they are going to be left out in the cold all alone. So Iran probably is still trying to achieve maximum chaos, and that’s why it’s hard to know when they will alleviate their grip on the threats on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.”
Why are Washington gas prices so high in 2026?
The Iran conflict explains the national surge, but it doesn’t fully explain why Washington drivers are paying so much more than everyone else. De Haan pointed directly to Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, the state’s cap and invest program, as a significant factor driving the gap between Washington and neighboring states.
Before the Climate Commitment Act took effect, Washington and Oregon’s gas prices tracked closely together. That’s no longer the case. Oregon’s statewide average is $4.61 a gallon, according to AAA. Washington’s is $5.06. That’s a 45-cent gap between two states that used to be nearly identical at the pump, and it’s a gap that exists regardless of what’s happening in Iran.
Critics of the Climate Commitment Act have long argued it adds 40 to 60 cents a gallon to Washington gas prices.
De Haan said the numbers back that up.
“I think that 40-cent-a-gallon difference would jive with me,” De Haan said.
Washington is now second only to California in gas prices, which are averaging $5.56 a gallon according to AAA. Hawaii, at $5.02, is third. Seattle’s average of $5.22 a gallon is among the highest of any major city in the country.
The West Coast is also dealing with a reduction in refining capacity. The Valero refinery in Benicia, California, one of the region’s major fuel producers, processed its last barrel of crude oil just weeks ago and has now shut down permanently.
“That refinery being shut down is limiting how much capacity there is on the West Coast,” De Haan said. “So certainly a lot of different impacts, from Iran to the seasonal changeover, a loss in capacity.”
The seasonal switchover to a more expensive summer gasoline blend is adding to the pressure as well.
When will Washington gas prices go down?
Don’t expect quick relief. De Haan said even under the best-case scenario, gas prices typically fall at a pace of one to three cents per day.
“If we’ve gone up 82 cents a gallon statewide, it’ll probably take a little over a month for us, probably closer to Memorial Day, if things drastically improve today,” he said.
If the conflict in Iran escalates further, prices could go considerably higher. De Haan cited Qatar’s energy minister, suggesting oil could reach $150 a barrel, with Iran itself suggesting $200 is possible.
“It certainly could be well above the $100 a barrel mark,” De Haan said. “Really, it’s hard to know exactly where that number is, when demand will decrease, or how much it will decrease to better match the price.”
For Washington drivers already paying among the highest gas prices in the country, the combination of the Iran conflict, the Valero closure, the seasonal blend switchover, and the ongoing cost of Washington’s Climate Commitment Act means there is no easy off-ramp from the pain at the pump.

New Mexico Air Force base goes into lockdown after shooter opens fire, leaving one dead and one injured
By JAMES CIRRONE, US NEWS REPORTER
Published: 21:33 EDT, 17 March 2026 | Updated: 17:13 EDT, 18 March 2026
One person was killed and another was injured in a shooting at Holloman Air Force Base, the Daily Mail has learned.
The base, located in Otero County, New Mexico, was placed on lockdown at approximately 5:30pm local time after there were reports of an active shooter, according to the 49th Wing Public Affairs office.
'The lockdown was lifted shortly thereafter when security forces personnel confirmed that the scene was safe,' the office's release said.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene, and officials have said there is 'no threat at this time'.
The person who was injured in the shooting was transported to the hospital via helicopter. No other information about the victims has been made public.
Officials confirmed the shooting happened 'within the vicinity' of the Holloman Shoppette but declined to give any further details while the investigation continues.
The 93-square-mile base houses the 49th Wing, which trains pilots on the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the MQ-9 Reaper.
The last known shooting at Holloman occurred in July 2011, when an airman got into a dispute with two military police officers outside a dormitory.
The airman was shot by the officers in the early morning struggle. He was then flown to El Paso, Texas, for medical treatment.

It Is Being Projected That “Peak War Panic” Could Hit The Global Financial System In 1 To 3 Weeks
March 15, 2026 by Michael
A worst-case scenario could be just weeks away. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been essentially paralyzed by the war with Iran, and there is a lot of speculation that the Houthis could soon bring commercial traffic through the Red Sea to a screeching halt. If such a scenario actually materializes, it would be catastrophic for the global economy. The good news is that so far we are not witnessing widespread panic among investors. Most of them still seem to believe that this crisis is just temporary. So even though the price of oil is up over 40 percent since the start of the war, the overall global financial system is still relatively stable at this stage…
The S&P 500 is only down 3% so far this year and 5% off its all-time high, still far from reaching bear market territory or even a correction, suggesting investors aren’t panicking yet about the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. But that could change soon.
To be sure, oil prices have soared more than 40% since the war began two weeks ago and are up nearly 70% year to date. But they remain below the peak seen after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, despite one-fifth of the world’s oil supplies being bottled up by Iran’s de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Of course it certainly wouldn’t take much to push the financial markets over the edge.
Dan Alamariu, the chief geopolitical strategist at Alpine Macro, is warning that if this war with Iran persists we could see “peak war panic” in approximately 1 to 3 weeks…
Alamariu acknowledged there’s a growing chance that the war lasts longer than his two-month outlook, and the Strait of Hormuz would likely remain closed for the duration. That means Brent crude prices will stay above $100 a barrel and possibly even top $150. And yet, the market hasn’t reached maximum panic yet.
“Peak war panic is more likely to hit in the next 1 to 3 weeks,” he predicted. “The longer the conflict lasts, the more investors price in economic damage.”
Using oil prices as a gauge for market panics, crude has historically peaked four to eight weeks into similar conflicts, according to Alamariu. The Iran war has now entered its third week.
If the price of oil surpasses $150 a barrel and stays there for an extended period of time, it will cause widespread panic.
I have no doubt about that at all.
What investors would really like to see is an end to the war, but an end to the war is not even on the horizon at this stage…
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that “we don’t see any reason why we should talk with Americans” as President Trump has claimed Iran is seeking a deal to end the war between the U.S. and Iran.
“We never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation,” Araghchi said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
As the war entered its third week, Mr. Trump has claimed in recent days that Iran wants to reach a deal. The president said in a post on Truth Social late Friday that Iran “is totally defeated and wants a deal – But not a deal that I would accept!” On Saturday, he told NBC News that “Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet.”
As long as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is paralyzed, there is no way that the war will end.
An IDF spokesperson is telling us the the Israelis are gearing up “for at least three more weeks of operations”…
An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said the military is preparing for at least three more weeks of operations against Iran and still has ‘thousands of targets’ remaining.
Brigadier General Effie Defrin told CNN that Israeli forces are coordinating closely with the United States and have plans extending beyond the Jewish holiday of Passover.
‘We have thousands of targets ahead,’ Defrin said. ‘We are ready, in coordination with our US allies, with plans through at least the Jewish holiday of Passover, about three weeks from now.’
Let us hope that the war will be over in just a matter of weeks.
But from where I am sitting, I think that is a very optimistic target.
There are so many ways that this war could become so much worse.
For example, if the Houthis were to shut down commercial traffic through the Red Sea by blocking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, we really would be facing a nightmare scenario that would be unlike anything we have ever seen before…
Alamariu noted that it’s likely Iran’s Houthi allies in Yemen will try to close the Red Sea to commercial shipping, heaping additional economic pain on top of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
“A simultaneous two-strait disruption would compound the shock, impacting the additional ~5 mb/d oil flows that normally transit the Bab el-Mandeb and impairing a main Europe-Asia trade route,” he warned. “This could stoke inflation further, especially in Europe.”
If the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait were blocked simultaneously, hardly anything would be getting out of Saudi Arabia or other Gulf countries.
I have already written much about oil, natural gas and fertilizer, but so many other industries would be deeply affected as well.
For example, the largest aluminum smelter in the entire world has just been forced to reduce its output…
The world’s largest single-site aluminium smelter in the Middle East cut its output by about 20% on Sunday, marking yet another troubling development for the global economy. The disruption in the Strait of Hormuz is no longer just an energy story – it’s now spreading into industrial metals. These second- and third-order effects could soon disrupt global supply chains and tighten aluminium availability, thus pressuring prices higher.
Bloomberg reports that Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) began a controlled, safe shutdown of three reduction lines on Sunday to preserve business continuity amid heavily disrupted maritime shipping routes through the Hormuz chokepoint.
The global economy has become far more integrated than most people realize.
When the price of oil rises, it rises for everyone.
And the pain is already starting to be felt throughout the entire U.S. economy…
Uber and Lyft drivers told us they’re getting more selective about which rides they accept as gas prices rise. That’s because Uber and Lyft control fares, meaning drivers can’t raise prices when their operating costs go up. Some gig drivers are rejecting shorter, lower-paying trips that burn fuel and instead are chasing longer fares that make the math work.
Meanwhile, EV drivers are having a moment. As gas-powered drivers wince at the pump, electric vehicle owners are taking what some have called a “victory lap.” Charging costs haven’t surged in step with oil prices. This is giving EV drivers, including those on rideshare platforms, a meaningful cost advantage.
Higher gas prices are also playing a role in the return-to-office debate. For people who drive to work, pricier fill-ups mean less money in their pockets for everything else.
“When gas prices spike, commuting effectively becomes a pay cut,” one chief operating officer told us.
If this war keeps going for a while, things will get a lot worse.
Just about everything that we purchase on a regular basis is affected by the price of oil, and that includes food.
It takes energy to grow food, and it takes energy to transport food to the stores.
If the price of oil goes up to $150 a barrel and stays there, it is going to become much more expensive to go to the grocery store.
Already, the average price of ground beef has risen almost 20 percent over the past year…
The average price of ground beef, 100% beef, excluding round, chuck, and sirloin, and excluding preformed patties, finally took a breather in February and barely budged, rising by just 0.2%, after spiking month after month almost uninterrupted for a whole year.
At $6.74 per pound, the average price is up by nearly 20% from a year ago and by 73% from January 2020.
By disrupting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranians are hitting us where it hurts.
They know that U.S. consumers do not have a very high tolerance for pain.
So they figure that they can sit back and wait for the pain to reach unendurable levels.
But I don’t think that President Trump is going to end this war until he breaks Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz.
That could take a while, and so it appears that this crisis will be with us for quite some time.

Churches All Over America Are Being Set On Fire – Are Sleeper Cells Involved?
March 16, 2026
Over the past couple of weeks, there have been numerous warnings that terrorist sleeper cells may conduct attacks on U.S. soil in response to the war with Iran. Over the past couple of weeks, there have also been a lot of church fires all over America. Why isn’t anyone making a connection between these two things? We know that Islamic terrorists love to attack houses of worship. Since 2020, there have been hundreds of churches in Europe that have been vandalized or burned down, and in many of those cases radical Islamists were involved. Is a similar trend beginning to occur in the United States?
On Saturday morning, a church in Reese, Michigan that was about 100 years old burned all the way to the ground…
A historic Southeast Michigan church burned to the ground Saturday morning.
Reese Fire Rescue, an all-volunteer crew, responded at 2:45 a.m. March 14 to find Reese Faith Community Church “fully engulfed” in flames, said Jeremy Ross, fire chief.
“It was through the roof, through the walls – it was really fully engulfed when we arrived,” Ross said. “There was no way to make entry.”
This was an absolutely massive fire that erupted very suddenly.
One fire truck parked too close to the fire, and as a result “some of the plastic items on the outside of the truck were warped and melted from the heat”…
He said a Reese fire truck was parked a little too close to the fire and some of the plastic items on the outside of the truck were warped and melted from the heat. He said everything affected still functions, including some emergency lights, but will need to be replaced.
In so many cases, these church fires are happening in the middle of the night when no witnesses are around.
So even if authorities are able to determine that it is arson, it will be very difficult to catch whoever did this.
Today, more than 240,000 Muslims live in the state of Michigan.
The city of Dearborn is 55 percent Muslim, and it is not too far from Reese.
That certainly doesn’t prove anything.
But we do know that Michigan has experienced a lot of church burnings in recent years.
Last August, someone purposely firebombed St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in Flint…
On August 30, 2025, an arsonist firebombed St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in Flint, Michigan, causing extensive damage. Flint Councilwoman Tonya Burns said an individual “purposely brought three gasoline cans, used a metal object and fire bombed the church.” The fire burned several classrooms, and the church also had smoke damage and several broken windows. The church has an outreach center that hosts community events and food drives.
Flint is even closer to Dearborn than Reese is.
But that could just be a coincidence.
Arsonists tend to like to work at night, because that greatly increases their chances of getting away with it.
Very early on Sunday morning, an enormous fire broke out at The River Church in Post Falls, Idaho…
A Post Falls church was damaged in a fire early Sunday morning.
Kootenai County Fire and Rescue responded to the blaze in the 1600 block of E. Horsehaven Ave. about 4 a.m.
Units arrived to find The River Church burning and requested a second alarm.
“Due to the size of the building and challenges with accessing the fire, crews were on scene through the late morning hours,” KCFR said in a press release.
This is another case where it is going to be difficult to prove that it was arson.
But I think that it was.
Thankfully, most of the building was saved, but one portion “was lost and is now unusable”…
A large portion of the church building was saved during the response, but a part of the structure was lost and is now unusable, according to Kootenai County Fire and Rescue interim fire chief Pete Holley.
Another church fire that occurred this past weekend was definitely arson.
Video footage clearly shows “a man intentionally igniting the entrance to the building” at a church in Newark, New Jersey…
An overnight fire outside a Newark church is under investigation after video obtained by RLS Media appears to show a man intentionally igniting the entrance to the building while people were inside.
According to a statement released by Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, firefighters responded at approximately 12:06 a.m. Saturday, March 14, to a report of a fire at a church located at 136 Mt. Pleasant Avenue.
I hope that the police are able to find this guy.
He just walked right up to the entrance of the church and started pouring gasoline around…
However, video obtained by RLS Media shows a man carrying what appears to be a gasoline can approaching the entrance of the church, identified as Centro Familiar Casa de Dios.
In the footage, the individual appears to pour a liquid near the doorway before spending several seconds striking a match.
The video then shows the suspect tossing the lit match toward the entrance area, igniting flames near one of the church doors.
Another clear case of church arson just happened at an abandoned church in Peoria, Illinois…
The Peoria Fire Department responded to a fire at an abandoned church near North East Madison and Park Avenues on Friday.
Fire crews saw moderate smoke and fire on the second floor of the church when they arrived on the scene at 6:56 p.m, said Battalion Chief Matthew Smith.
Fire crews used a hand line to quickly put out the fire and also went to the roof to check for additional damage.
Authorities have determined that the cause of the fire was definitely arson.
But in most of these cases the perpetrators are never apprehended.
Earlier this month, there was a large fire at the First Baptist Church of Little Rock that local residents believe “may have been intentionally set”…
A vacant church building in Little Rock was heavily damaged by a fire some neighbors believe may have been intentionally set.
The blaze broke out at the First Baptist Church of Little Rock, also known as Ernie’s Museum of Black Arkansas, late Monday evening. The building, long closed and in a state of disrepair, hadn’t been used in several years. According to a man who was looking to buy the property, the structure had previously served multiple purposes before falling vacant.
The Little Rock Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire, though some neighbors believe it may have been arson.
I cannot prove that any of the examples that I have shared in this article have anything to do with the war in Iran.
But I think that it is quite noteworthy that so many U.S. churches are suddenly burning now that the war in Iran has begun.
And without a doubt there have been some incidents of violence in recent weeks that do have a direct link to what is going on in the Middle East. For instance, it turns out that the man that recently attacked a synagogue in Michigan had brothers in Lebanon that “were members of a Hezbollah rocket unit”…
Ghazali, born in Lebanon, entered the U.S. legally in 2011 on a spousal visa and gained citizenship in 2016. He lived in Dearborn Heights, working at a local restaurant—seemingly integrated, but harboring connections that proved deadly.
Sources confirmed his brothers in Lebanon were members of a Hezbollah rocket unit, the Iranian-backed group notorious for targeting civilians. Those same brothers, along with Ghazali’s niece and nephew, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on March 5, potentially fueling his rage.
There are more than 200 million Shiite Muslims living in our world today.
Approximately 2.5 million of them are living on U.S. soil.
There will be more terror attacks.
It is inevitable.
So please be very careful out there, because things are starting to get really crazy.

By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR
Published: 13:20 EDT, 16 March 2026 | Updated: 16:15 EDT, 16 March 2026
A record-shattering heatwave is set to scorch millions across the Southwest, sending temperatures over 100 degrees three months before the US reaches summer.
The shocking forecast has been triggered by a massive 'heat dome' forming over 14 states, including California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.
Parts of Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas will also be affected, with meteorologists from AccuWeather warning that temperatures throughout the week will be 15 to 30 degrees above average for mid-March.
A heat dome works like a lid of high pressure. It builds overhead, trapping hot air at the surface level, suppressing clouds and intensifying sunlight.
The historic warming trend is expected to last through Thursday, with dozens of cities throughout the region expected to set daily temperature records from March 17 through March 19.
By Wednesday, temperatures in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas are expected to hover near 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which typically does not happen until mid-June.
Temperatures in California's Death Valley, the hottest and driest national park, may reach 108 degrees by Wednesday, which would mark the earliest heat above 105 degrees ever recorded.
The AccuWeather team added that 'little movement' was expected heading into the weekend, meaning the extreme heat could last well beyond Thursday, and potentially lead to unexpected wildfires throughout Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
A heat dome forms when the jet stream, the fast-flowing river of air high over the US, develops a bulge or ridge.
This ridge creates a barrier that blocks normal weather patterns, allowing warm air to sink and get trapped under the 'dome,' while keeping storms and cooler fronts away.
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said: 'Heat domes are a lot like a balloon. They expand and contract as the day goes by, and when you are inside of it, it can be very warm.'
In this case, the extreme conditions while much of the US is still battling fierce winter weather have set the stage for countless climate records to fall in just four days this week.
Meteorologists projected that Los Angeles would reach 98 degrees on Wednesday. However, if the heat dome pushes it to 100, forecasters revealed that it would break a record set in 1874 for the earliest 100-degree day.
Phoenix, Arizona is expected to see back-to-back 100-degree days on Wednesday and Thursday, reaching 101 and 104, respectively.
The city typically sits in the mid to upper 70s in March. Until this week, the only day Phoenix has ever seen 100 degrees in March was on March 26, 1988.
In Las Vegas, Nevada, temperatures in mid-March usually stay in the low 70s. Breaking 100 degrees this week would shatter the record books, erasing the previous mark for the earliest 100-degree day set on May 1, 1947.
Even if some areas do not reach 100 degrees, most of the Southwest is expected to climb into the 90s this week.
In Denver, Colorado, residents are expecting the earliest 90-degree day to hit the city since 1992. The previous record for such heat was April 30, meaning this heatwave should smash that by five weeks.
Forecasters also warned that the intense heat will cause flowers to wilt during a period called 'superbloom,' - a rare natural event where huge numbers of wildflowers suddenly bloom all at once in desert areas.
'The surging heat will dry out vegetation quickly, increasing the risk of wildfire ignition,' the AccuWeather team added.
Temporary lakes that formed in the winter, such as in Death Valley, could also dry up due to the early blast of summer.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Elizabeth Danco said in a statement: 'This heat is arriving far earlier than normal, with temperatures in parts of the Southwest running one to two months ahead of historical averages.'

By PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER
Published: 10:00 EDT, 16 March 2026 | Updated: 12:07 EDT, 16 March 2026
One of Donald Trump's closest advisers has broken with the President over his war with Iran, warning the conflict risks spiraling into nuclear catastrophe.
David Sacks, Trump's czar for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, said Israel was weighing whether to deploy a nuclear weapon against the Islamic regime.
Sacks, a close ally of Vice President JD Vance, made the remarks on the All-In podcast, cautioning there are 'risks' of an 'escalatory approach' by Israel.
'Israel could get seriously destroyed,' he said. 'And then you have to worry about Israel escalating the war by contemplating using a nuclear weapon.'
Sacks urged Trump to find an 'off-ramp' and bring the war with Iran to a swift close.
'This is a good time to declare victory and get out,' he added. 'I agree that we should try to find the off-ramp.'
The White House confidante noted the US had largely neutralized the Islamic regime's military capabilities.
Sacks is the most senior figure in Trump's White House to publicly break with the President over the conflict.
'If escalation doesn't lead anywhere good, then you have to think about, well, how do you de-escalate? De-escalation, I think, involves reaching some sort of ceasefire agreement or some sort of negotiated settlement with Iran,' he said.
Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons but maintains a policy of ambiguity and has never publicly confirmed its arsenal.
Sacks, who donated around $1 million to a super PAC backing Vance's 2022 Ohio Senate campaign, appears to be aligned with the Vice President's reported position on the conflict.
Vance privately warned against the Iran war, urging Trump that if action were taken, he should 'go big and go fast,' according to reports.
He has kept a low profile while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have publicly fronted the campaign, after US-Israeli strikes killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on the opening day of the war, February 28.
Trump even acknowledged that Vance had been 'less enthusiastic' about the war while addressing reporters at his golf club in Doral, Florida, last week.
The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Iran and its ally in Lebanon, Hezbollah, have responded with strikes on Israel and other countries in the Middle East.
The war has shaken global markets and raised oil prices.
Iran's UN ambassador says more than 1,300 people have been killed in Iran in US and Israeli attacks. Israel says 12 victims in the region died in Iranian attacks. The US says 13 of its troops have been killed.

Al Jazeera op-ed praises US-Israel operation against Iran, says Dems, media critics are wrong
‘When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power," the op-ed declared, ‘the picture is not one of US failure’
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn Fox News
Published March 17, 2026 7:40am EDTOperation Epic Fury is receiving praise from an unlikely source. Al Jazeera, the Qatari government-funded news organization, published an op-ed Monday declaring in the headline, "The US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working."
"Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war... But this narrative is wrong," the piece began.
"Not because the costs are imaginary, but because the critics are measuring the wrong things. They are [cataloging] the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger."
Muhanad Seloom, an assistant professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, authored the piece.
"When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air [defenses], its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure. It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades," he continued.
Seloom marveled at how "every aspect of Iran’s ability to project regional power is being successfully degraded" and "collapsing in real time."
He also pointed out how Iranian ballistic missile launches "have fallen by more than 90 percent" since Operation Epic Fury was first underway, dropping from 350 to roughly 25 — similar to its drone launches going from 800 on Day 1 to 75 by Day 15.
"Hundreds of Iranian missile launchers have been rendered inoperable. According to some reports, 80 percent of Iran’s capacity to strike Israel has been eliminated," Seloom wrote. "Iran’s naval assets, fast-attack craft, midget submarines and mine-laying capabilities are being liquidated. Its air [defenses] have been suppressed to the point at which the US is now flying nonstealth B-1 bombers over Iranian airspace, a decision that signals near-total confidence in air dominance."
The Qatari professor insisted the Iranian regime is facing a "strategic dilemma" — that firing any remaining missiles will expose the launchers and would promptly be targeted by the US and Israel while reserving missiles "forfeits the ability to impose costs of the war."
"This is a force managing decline, not projecting strength," Seloom said.
After highlighting the damage to Iran's nuclear facilities, Seloom pushed back against Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who claimed the Trump administration misjudged Iran's retaliation, as well as CNN's suggestion that the administration lost control over the war regarding the Strait of Hormuz, saying their framing "inverts the strategic logic."
HEGSETH BLASTS BRITS, SAYS IRAN'S CHAOTIC RETALIATION HAS DRIVEN ITS OWN ALLIES 'INTO THE AMERICAN ORBIT'
"Closing the strait was always Iran’s most visible retaliatory card, and always a wasting asset. About 90 percent of Iran’s own oil exports pass through Kharg Island and then the strait," Seloom wrote. "China, Tehran’s largest remaining economic partner, cannot receive Iranian crude while the strait is shut. Every day the blockade continues, Iran severs its own economic lifeline and alienates the one major power that has consistently shielded it at the United Nations. The closure does not just hurt the global economy; it accelerates Iran’s isolation."
He continued, "Meanwhile, the naval assets Iran needs to sustain the blockade – fast-attack boats, drones, mines, shore-based antiship missiles – are being degraded daily. Its naval bases at Bandar Abbas and Chahbahar have been severely damaged. The question is not whether the strait reopens but when and whether Iran retains any naval capacity to contest it. Critics compare the challenge of escorting a hundred tankers daily to an impossible logistical burden. But you do not need to escort tankers through a strait if the adversary no longer has the means to threaten them. That is the operational trajectory."
Seloom also pushed back against the notion that the war is expanding through Iran's proxies like Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iraqi militias, stressing that the command structure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "has been decapitated at multiple levels" and that the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei "eliminated the apex of the [authorization] pyramid."
"When proxies launch retaliatory attacks across the region, this is not evidence of an expanding network; it is evidence of predelegated response authority, which is what a [centralized] command system activates when it anticipates its own destruction," he wrote. "Predelegation is a sign of desperation, not strength. It means the centre can no longer coordinate. The attacks will continue, but they will become increasingly uncoordinated, strategically incoherent and politically costly for the host states where these groups operate."
Seloom went on to say President Donald Trump's rhetoric "has not helped" combat critics who question the endgame, which the professor said is the "permanent degradation of Iran’s ability to project power beyond its borders through missiles, nuclear latency and proxy networks." He also acknowledged critics like Murphy have a "legitimate concern" about what happens in Tehran after the fighting stops, something he says the Trump administration needs to lay out.
"Call it strategic disarmament. This is closer to the approach of the Allies to Germany’s industrial war-making capacity in 1944-1945 than to the US war on Iraq in 2003," Seloom said. "The campaign’s execution has been imperfect, its public communication poor and its post-conflict planning incomplete. War is never clean. But the strategy – the actual strategy, measured in degraded capabilities rather than cable news cycles – is working."

Report: Trump weighs seizure of Iran’s Kharg Island as Hormuz blockade continues
Axios reports President Donald Trump is working to assemble a multinational coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid Iran’s blockade, but also weighing the possible seizure of Kharg Island.
Israel National News Mar 16, 2026, 5:29 AM (GMT+2) 2 minutes
US President Donald Trump is working to assemble a coalition of countries aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and hopes to announce the initiative later this week, four sources confirmed to Axios on Sunday.
At the same time, according to US officials, Trump is also weighing the possibility of seizing Iran’s critical oil depot on Kharg Island if oil tankers remain trapped in the Persian Gulf. Such a move would require US troops on the ground.
The effort comes as oil and gas prices rise due to Iran’s blockade of the narrow Gulf waterway, which has disrupted a significant portion of the world’s crude oil supply.
Iran has blocked Gulf countries from exporting their oil through the strait while allowing tankers carrying Iranian crude to pass freely, enabling Tehran to continue exporting oil to China and other countries.
A source familiar with the situation told Axios that as long as the blockade remains in place and Gulf oil exports are restricted, Trump would not be able to end the war even if he wanted to.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said he “demands" that NATO members and other oil-importing nations, including China, assist in securing the strait.
“We are talking to other countries about policing the straits. It will be nice to have other countries policing with us. We will help. We are getting a good response," Trump said.
Trump stated that the US is currently in talks with seven countries. He noted that some countries have already declined but emphasized that the mission “will be small" because Iran has “very little firepower" remaining.
Meanwhile, the US continues to carry out strikes against Iranian targets across the country, with particular focus on areas along the Persian Gulf and Kharg Island.
Kharg Island, located about 15 miles off Iran’s coast, handles roughly 90 percent of the country’s crude oil exports.
Trump said Friday that he had ordered strikes against military installations on the island but that oil facilities there were not targeted. Speaking to NBC on Saturday, he said the US “may hit it a few more times just for fun."
A senior White House official stressed that no final decision has been made regarding the island.
“No one should read into anything more than what the president announced," the official said. “The president has made no decisions on Kharg Island."
However, the official added that the situation could change if the effort to reopen the strait stalls.

“The president is not going to wait around and let the Iranians dictate the pace of the conflict," the official said.
Another US official said Trump has shown interest in the idea of seizing Kharg Island outright, describing it as an “economic knockout of the regime" that could effectively cut off Tehran’s funding.

Israel admits Iran regime collapse less likely than first thought
Israeli officials fear that the scenario in which Iran's regime remains in power even after the current military campaign is now more realistic. According to this updated assessment, Israeli decision makers are shaping their strategy accordingly, focusing on Iran's missile arrays, its weapons industry and Tehran's security forces.
by Yoav Limor
Published on 03-15-2026 00:02
Last modified: 03-15-2026 00:03Senior officials in Israel now acknowledge that the chances of overthrowing the regime in Iran are lower than initially estimated, and that the current military campaign may end without bringing down the government in Tehran. The assessment reflects the regime's firm grip on its security apparatus and the ruthless repression that has instilled deep fear among the Iranian public.
In recent days, Iran's leadership has appeared to regain a more orderly control over events inside the country, following the chaos that erupted after the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Decisions are now reportedly being made mainly by Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of parliament. It remains unclear whether the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is involved in decision making or is currently serving mainly as a symbolic figure while others effectively run the country.
Larijani and Ghalibaf both appeared Friday at a mass rally in Tehran marking Iran's annual "Quds Day." Their appearance was intended to signal that the leadership remains in control and is not afraid to appear in public. In reality, the two, along with other senior Iranian officials, are reportedly behaving like wanted men, aware they could be targets for elimination.
Mojtaba Khamenei did not attend the rally, apparently because of injuries he sustained during the strike that killed his father, in which his mother and brother were also killed. Instead, the crowd heard a recording of the elder Khamenei from last year.
Although overthrowing the regime was never formally defined as one of the campaign's goals, it was widely perceived as such by the Israeli public. Now Israeli officials are seeking to lower expectations, partly to prevent disappointment once the operation ends.
Decision makers in Israel still hope that a chain of events could lead to the regime's collapse, but the scenario in which the ayatollahs and their supporters remain in power is now considered more realistic. Israeli strategy is therefore being shaped around that assumption.
Three main lines of attack
Israel's offensive effort in Iran is now focused on three primary targets.
The first is Iran's missile threat to Israel, including launchers, missile stockpiles and air defense systems that could limit the Israeli Air Force's freedom of action.
Contrary to some highly optimistic estimates circulated earlier, the effort to dismantle Iran's missile-launch infrastructure is far from complete. Still, the Israeli Air Force's systematic hunt for launchers has made it harder for Iran to carry out attacks. In recent days, Iranian forces have begun redirecting some missiles toward northern and southern areas and have attempted to challenge Israel's air defense system by altering launch patterns and dispersing warheads.
The second effort targets Iran's weapons industry, particularly facilities involved in producing missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
US War Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized this objective last week, stating that the campaign will not end until Iran's production capabilities are completely destroyed. The network includes hundreds of factories, research centers, laboratories and other facilities, which are now being systematically struck according to a coordinated plan dividing the work between the Israeli Air Force and US forces.
Israel already struck production facilities during the 12-day war with Iran last June. At the time, the goal was to create leverage for a future agreement restricting missile production and Iran's nuclear program. Now the objective is to physically dismantle those capabilities so that even if the regime survives and no agreement is reached, Iran will need years to restore large-scale weapons production.
The third effort focuses on Iran's security forces and their infrastructure.
Israeli assessments indicate that about 4,000 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Basij militia and other security forces have been killed so far, with at least twice as many wounded. Only a very small number of civilians have reportedly been harmed. Unlike Hezbollah and the Hamas terrorist organization, which deliberately operate from within civilian populations, Iranian security forces generally operate from closed compounds that are easier to target.
US forces are assisting in strikes against these three target circles while also carrying out parallel missions to defend allied states in the Gulf and ensure freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, Gulf states appear reluctant to join the offensive effort directly, largely out of concern that Iran would intensify retaliatory attacks against them, especially against oil infrastructure.
Israeli officials estimate that about two more weeks will be needed to achieve the campaign's main objectives. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has identified the eve of Passover, April 1, as a possible target date for ending the operation, while officials in Washington are discussing the possibility of ending it a few days earlier ahead of US President Donald Trump's planned visit to China at the end of March.
Jerusalem and Washington currently agree that the campaign should not be halted earlier, in order to avoid having to return to military action against Iran again in a few months.
Preparing for intensified fighting in Lebanon
At the same time, Israel is preparing to intensify fighting in Lebanon in the coming weeks.
This stems from two main factors. The first is Hezbollah's entry into the war, including attempts to deploy its Radwan force south of the Litani River in order to attack Israeli civilians and IDF troops. The second is Israel's effort to further weaken Hezbollah's capabilities and personnel in order to make it easier for the Lebanese government to assert control over the country in the future.
As part of the expanded activity, the IDF has moved infantry and armored forces to the northern Israel in recent days. Some units have deployed in forward positions in southern Lebanon to push Hezbollah away from Israeli border communities.
Israelis are naturally most concerned about the possibility of terrorist infiltrations into Israeli territory, but IDF Northern Command officials are also worried about anti-tank missile attacks on communities. The current operations are intended to reduce towns' exposure to such missiles and push additional communities out of rocket range.
During the previous round of fighting in Lebanon, which the IDF called "Northern Arrows," Hezbollah largely avoided ground combat in southern Lebanon and focused instead on launching rockets and drones into Israel. Now the organization has changed its approach, possibly under Iranian pressure or because its long-range attacks have had limited success.
This shift forces the IDF to adapt to the growing threat both to civilians and to ground forces.
The decision to engage more actively in combat also represents the first major test for Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem. Qassem has so far been seen as a cautious and relatively weak leader who has tried to maintain a low personal and organizational profile.
Israeli officials believe his current decision could also work to Israel's advantage, as it may increase friction between Hezbollah and the Lebanese government and strengthen Beirut's motivation to act against the group in the future.
Increasing pressure on Beirut
Until now, the fighting in Lebanon has been considered secondary to the campaign against Iran. However, after the massive rocket barrage fired at Israel on Wednesday night, it has gained greater weight in Israeli planning.
Israel is preparing to continue operations in Lebanon even after the main campaign against Iran ends, although it is unclear whether that will be possible depending on the policy pursued by Trump.
If a ceasefire is declared, Israel hopes to maintain control of extensive areas in southern Lebanon and evacuate them of residents, conditioned on significant action by the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah and demilitarize the south.
Before the current campaign began, the IDF held five positions inside Lebanese territory. It is now planning to control additional areas and prevent residents from returning to some villages in southern Lebanon, in an effort to increase pressure on the Lebanese government to act against Hezbollah.

Strait of Hormuz open to everyone but US, Israel, Iranian FM Araghchi says
Other ships are free to pass, although many prefer not to due to “security concerns,” which Araghchi claimed have nothing to do with Iran.
ByDANYA SAPERSTEIN
MARCH 15, 2026 01:11Updated: MARCH 15, 2026 03:37
The Strait of Hormuz is only closed to US and Israeli ships, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with MS NOW on Saturday.
Other ships are free to pass, although many prefer not to due to “security concerns,” which Araghchi claimed have nothing to do with Iran. He added that currently there are “many tankers and ships that are passing through the Strait of Hormuz.”
This comes after US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the US, along with several other countries affected by “Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait,” would be sending warships to keep the Strait “open and safe.”
In the post, Trump listed China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK as examples of countries affected by the closure, expressing hope that they would send ships to the area.
Araghchi says everything is under control amid claims of instability within regime
Araghchi also responded to claims made by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was wounded and likely disfigured, saying that “there is no problem with the supreme leader.”
“He sent his message yesterday and will perform his duties - he is performing his duties according to the constitution and will continue to do that,” Araghchi added.
Araghchi also emphasized that the Islamic Republic was well-established and not reliant on any one person, and that any loss of individuals could be weathered by the system.
“Everything is under control,” Araghchi said.
Later in the day, Trump claimed he was hearing that Mojtaba Khamenei was not alive, "and if he is, he should do something very smart for his country, and that's surrender," Trump told NBC News.
Araghchi claims US negotiators may have misunderstood him due to lack of knowledge
Araghchi also denied claims that he shouted at US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, threatening that Iran had the uranium for 11 nuclear bombs during the last negotiation talks in Geneva.
He explained that he had only been speaking about the potential of Iran’s 440 kilos of 60% enriched uranium, which, if enriched further, could be enough to create 10 bombs, to emphasize how big a concession Iran was offering.
Araghchi suggested that perhaps US negotiators had misinterpreted that “because of the lack of enough knowledge” or “their intentions to justify the act of aggression, which cannot be justified,” and added that he hoped the true story of the negotiations would come out.

Rocket fire from Lebanon triggers sirens in central Israel without prior warning
Launch from Lebanon intercepted after setting off alerts in central Israel, with blasts heard in the Sharon, while later barrage toward south also shot down after night of alerts in center
Meir Turgeman, Maya Cohen, Elisha Ben Kimon|Updated:00:28
Air raid sirens sounded in central Israel on Sunday after a projectile launched from Lebanon was intercepted, with blasts heard in the Sharon area, in the latest round of alerts after overnight Iranian attacks.
Later, additional alerts warning of rocket and missile fire were activated in the Negev, the Judean area and the Dead Sea region after another barrage. Those launches were also successfully intercepted, the military said.
The latest incidents came after repeated overnight barrages from Iran, including three consecutive waves of sirens in central Israel. Earlier in the morning, some of the missiles fired toward central Israel were intercepted, while others fell in open areas.
A fire reportedly broke out in the central city of Holon due to fallen interception debris after one of the barrages, igniting vehicles and damaging a nearby building.
Fire and Rescue Services said crews were working to contain the blaze and searching for anyone who may have been trapped.
The Magen David Adom rescue service said that a man in his 80s suffered very minor injuries from glass shards, and a woman, also in her 80s, was in light condition with signs of smoke inhalation. Medics were also treating several people for shock at the scene.
The Home Front Command said residents could leave shelters after some of the incoming projectiles were intercepted and others fell in open areas.
Earlier, sirens were triggered in Eilat, the Shahorot industrial zone and Eilot in southern Israel, also because of fire from Iran that was intercepted. Magen David Adom said it had received no calls reporting injuries.
Meanwhile, sirens sounded in northern border communities throughout the night, including Metula, Misgav Am and Avivim, warning of rocket fire from Lebanon.

Monster 6-inch hailstone likely to shatter Illinois state record
Hail the size of grapefruit fell in Illinois Wednesday night, and that may qualify as a new state record, if it can be officially confirmed.
By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist
Published Mar 11, 2026 3:12 PM EDT | Updated Mar 11, 2026 3:12 PM EDT

Widespread severe storms on Tuesday produced massive hail across parts of Illinois, Texas and Missouri, including a new contender for a state record.
AccuWeather Meteorologist and Storm Chaser Tony Laubach measured a hailstone 5.25 inches in diameter in Kankakee, Illinois, on Tuesday evening, larger than the Illinois state record of 4.75 inches, set on June 10, 2015, at Minooka.
“This is ginormous hail,” Laubach said on Tuesday, holding up a hailstone.
“This is nuts. This is some of the biggest hail I’ve seen in quite some time. And again, the ground is just covered in it,” he continued. “You can see as I’m walking here, just massive hailstones everywhere.”
Laubach said the stones left “craters” in the ground.
Other Skywarn spotters and storm chasers also found big hail, as large as 6.4 inches across in Kankakee, 5.5 inches at Campus, Illinois, and 5.2 inches near Buckingham, Illinois. Hailstones 4.5 inches in diameter were also reported in Texas and Missouri on Wednesday. The large hail came from an intense storm stretching nearly from Mexico to Canada.
Any of these hailstones could break the record, but to make it official, the stones would typically have to be stored in a freezer at full size until they are weighed, measured and photographed by NOAA's State Climate Extremes Committee (SCEC). This process can take months or years.
Other state records recently set for hail diameter include 6.4 inches at Hondo, Texas on April 28, 2021, and 5.25 inches near Kirk, Colorado, on Aug. 8, 2023. Hail records are only maintained by the SCEC for nine states: Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Vermont.

Fears as banks seize 40,000 homes in a single month as foreclosure tsunami sweeps America
By MARTHA WILLIAMS, US REAL ESTATE & CONSUMER REPORTER
Published: 23:39 EDT, 12 March 2026 | Updated: 10:33 EDT, 13 March 2026
The number of Americans losing their homes to banks has risen for the twelfth consecutive month, highlighting mounting pressure in the US housing market.
In February, foreclosure activity reached 38,840 properties - a 20 percent increase compared with the same month last year.
Filings track the full spectrum of the process, from initial lender warnings to the formal repossession of homes after missed mortgage payments.
Although the February total was slightly lower than January, it marked the twelfth straight month of year-over-year increases, showing how Americans are increasingly struggling to pay their bills.
'Foreclosure activity in February marked the twelfth consecutive month of annual increases, extending a gradual upward trend that began early last year,' said Rob Barber, chief executive of ATTOM.
Foreclosure starts - when lenders officially begin reclaiming a property - have climbed 14 percent from last year, while completed repossessions have jumped 35 percent.
This strain is already being felt in neighborhoods. As more homes are seized, and the market is flooded with discounted properties, surrounding house values drop, eroding equity for nearby homeowners who have kept up with their payments.
The surge in foreclosures reflects broader financial stress for Americans. Rising taxes and interest rates are pushing some behind on mortgages, while unpaid credit card bills and auto loans add further pressure.
Foreclosure is the legal process through which a lender takes back a home after a borrower falls behind on mortgage payments.
The increase is raising concerns that the housing slowdown could worsen, drawing uneasy parallels to the prelude of the 2008 financial crisis.
Homeowners struggling with mortgages are likely cutting back on essentials such as food, transportation, and healthcare. That cut back in spending can ripple through the wider economy.
Foreclosures remain most concentrated in a handful of states, highlighting uneven impacts across the country.
Indiana had worst rate in the country, followed by South Carolina, Florida, Delaware, and Illinois. Among metros with a population of 200,000 or above, Lakeland, Florida had the highest foreclosure rate with one filing per ever 1,075 homes.
TRENDING
Next came Punta Gorda, Florida; Indianapolis, Indiana; Evansville, Indiana; and Columbia, South Carolina.
Some big cities did see decreases, including Tucson, Arizona; New Orleans, Louisiana; Buffalo, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The concentration of distress in these major housing markets underscores how widespread the pressure has become - and why concerns about a broader housing downturn are gaining urgency.
The bleak start to 2026 follows an already brutal 2025, when 367,460 US properties faced foreclosure filings - up 14 percent from the year before, according to a previous report from ATTOM.
While foreclosure activity is rising, it's not quite at the level seen during the 2008 housing crisis.
'Even with the continued rise, overall foreclosure levels remain well below historic norms,' Barber said.
But with economic pressures continuing, the road ahead could get bumpier for some homeowners.

Iran-linked cyberattack on US is 'first drop of blood' as experts reveal alarming new threat to homeland
READ MORE: Iran claims massive cyberattack on US as retaliation for 'brutal attack' on elementary school
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 10:06 EDT, 13 March 2026 | Updated: 10:37 EDT, 13 March 2026
Security experts have issued a stark warning after an Iran-linked attack on a major US company this week, cautioning it may only be the beginning.
The alert follows a cyberattack on Michigan-based medical technology giant Stryker that knocked thousands of employees offline and disrupted internal systems across the company's global network.
The Iran-linked hacker group Handala later claimed responsibility, describing the operation as retaliation for what it claimed was a US strike on a school in Minab.
Lee Sult, chief investigator at cybersecurity firm Binalyze, said the incident could mark the start of a broader campaign targeting Western organizations.
'The Stryker attack looks to be the first drop of blood in the water as a result of nation-state and hacktivist activity off the back of the Iran conflict,' he said.
'This attack confirms Western organizations are not only in the adversary's crosshairs, but the adversary can also make the shot. More shots are coming.'
Frank A Rose, former US Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control and a policy adviser at the Defense Department, told the Daily Mail the incidents may signal a dangerous shift toward targeting American infrastructure.
Rose warned that data centers, banking systems, energy facilities, and privately owned infrastructure could be next on the Iranian hackers' list.
When the Iranians know very well they cannot take us on head-to-head in America militarily, they're going to look for asymmetric ways to respond,' Rose said.
'Attacking American infrastructure might be one of those asymmetric vulnerabilities.'
He added that most of the US is commercially owned or privately held, and these groups do not think about security the way national security organizations do.
'You would hope companies in the private sector understand the evolving threat and start hardening key systems like data centers, banking networks and their cyber infrastructure, said Rose.
'But that costs money. When I worked on cyber issues in government, we often didn't make the investments we needed to because there were always other budget priorities.
'Since 9/11, we've improved security around critical infrastructure, but it's still not 100 percent.'
Sult said that the Wednesday cyberattack on Stryker 'be the first in a wave of attacks.'
The Handala group stated Telegram, saying it wiped more than 200,000 systems and extracted 50 terabytes of data in retaliation for military strikes on Iran.
Handala emerged around 2022 and has claimed responsibility for several cyberattacks against Israeli and Western targets.
The group claimed it shut down Stryker offices in 79 countries and that all extracted data is 'now in the hands of the free people of the world.' Stryker is active in over 100 countries around the world.
'Our major cyber operation has been executed with complete success,' Handala says in a statement, describing the attack as retaliation for what it calls 'the brutal attack on the Minab school' and for 'ongoing cyber assaults against the infrastructure of the Axis of Resistance.'
Children between the ages of seven and 12, along with staff members, were among those who died in the school strike. There were at least 175 people present during the February attack.
The company's staff found that remote devices running Microsoft's Windows operating system, such as cellphones, laptops and others configured to connect to Stryker's technology systems, had been wiped.
The logo of Handala appeared on login screens, according to the WSJ, which cited people familiar with the matter as well as social media posts.
However, Iran-linked hackers also launched a cyber campaign targeting US companies last week.
Cybersecurity experts revealed Thursday that the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group Seedworm had infiltrated multiple organizations, including a bank, an airport and a software supplier to the defense and aerospace industries.
Researchers at Symantec and Carbon Black discovered attackers installed a hidden malicious program, known as a backdoor, allowing them to secretly regain access to compromised systems.
Investigators said the hackers appeared to be spying, stealing sensitive data and positioning themselves for potential future attacks.
'These attacks are about sending a message rather than stealing information, which means any organization in the targeted country could be in the firing line,' the researchers warned.
The cyber activity comes as the US and Israel launched a major military offensive against Iran that killed the country's supreme leader and several senior officials.
'Because of the heated tension in the region and ongoing attacks, it is likely Iran and its allies may also initiate cyber operations to further target their adversaries,' the researchers said.

Empire of the Son: Ayatollah's Billions Explain Why Iran's Regime Unlikely to Go Willingly
Paul Petitte
03-12-2026
JERUSALEM, Israel – Before a missile strike killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, he oversaw oppression and funded terror groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah. Investigations reveal that he also controlled a financial empire, which is now headed by his son, Mojtaba, Iran's new supreme leader.
Khamenei's amassing of wealth contrasts sharply with the poverty many Iranians face today.
As U.S. and Israeli missiles hit Tehran, residents cheered. It was an ironic, yet telling, response of a population tired of oppression.
Dan Diker, director of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, told CBN News, "This entire massive, evolving demonstration by the Iranian people began as an economic grievance. And, you know, there's is no water in Iran. There's, the economy is in tatters. Their people are hungry. Inflation is in the hundreds of percent."
Until his death, Khamenei was a billionaire who portrayed himself as a modest religious leader.
Diker noted, "The Iranian regime has always lived according to the principle of what's called Taqiyya, which means deception or dissimulation..
Give to CBN News - Because Truth Matters® - News You Can Trust
According to a 2013 investigative report by Reuters, Khamenei controlled or influenced a hidden business empire with stakes in oil, banking, telecommunications, and even the manufacturing of birth control pills.
Dr. Udi Levy from the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security told us, "I know that it sounds like a dream, but it's something around $100 billion."

US President Donald Trump says USAF air tankers in Saudi base suffered 'virtually no damage'
The attack follows Thursday's USAF crash, where two KC-135 refueling planes collided, resulting in one aircraft crashing to the ground. All six crew members aboard the plane that crashed were killed.
ByJERUSALEM POST STAFF
MARCH 14, 2026 02:04 Updated: MARCH 14, 2026 16:06
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that four of five tanker aircraft targeted by an Iranian missile attack in Saudi Arabia suffered "virtually no damage," after five US Air Force refueling planes were struck on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing two US officials.
"Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service," said Trump on a Truth Social post. "One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly."
The attack followed an incident on Thursday, where two KC-135 refueling planes collided, resulting in one aircraft crashing to the ground. All six crew members aboard the plane that crashed were killed, as confirmed by the Pentagon on Friday.
The collision occurred near Turaibil, along the Iraqi-Jordanian border, as reported by CBS News, citing an Iraqi intelligence source.
The second KC-135 had declared an emergency and was able to land safely in Israel after the incident.
Islamic Resistance takes credit
In the aftermath of the accident, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, claimed responsibility for downing the US military aircraft.
The group stated they shot down the KC-135 "in defense of our country's sovereignty and airspace."
Additionally, last week, Kuwait's air defenses mistakenly shot down three US F-15 fighter jets during active combat, an incident that US Central Command (CENTCOM) described as apparent friendly fire.
All six crew members ejected from the aircraft safely and were recovered in stable condition.
Reuters, Shir Perets and Miriam Sela-Eitam contibuted to this report.

Pentagon to move more Marines, extra warships to Middle East amid Iran tensions
by JESSICA A. BOTELHO | The National News Desk Fri, March 13, 2026 at 10:23 AM
Updated Fri, March 13, 2026 at 1:59 PM
WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Pentagon ordered the deployment of a Marine Expeditionary Unit and additional warships to the Middle East amid Operation Epic Fury, according to reports.
Citing an unnamed U.S. official, the Associated Press on Friday reported that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth approved a request from U.S. Central Command (CENCOM) for "an amphibious ready group" and its Marine Expeditionary Unit -- which usually includes multiple warships and 5,000 Marines -- to help U.S. forces already operating in the region as the conflict with Iran continues.
Among the units being redirected is the Japan-based USS Tripoli and its embarked Marines, the outlet noted.
Marine Expeditionary Units are trained and equipped to conduct amphibious landings, but they also specialize in bolstering security at embassies, evacuating civilians and disaster relief. While the deployment is a major increase of troops in the region, it does not necessarily indicate that a ground operation is imminent or will take place at all.
The move comes nearly two weeks into the conflict, as Iranian attacks on strategic waterways and allied forces have intensified.
American warships and Marines have been moving toward the Middle East amid heightened Iranian strikes on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping corridor, which have disrupted commercial traffic and strained energy markets.
President Donald Trump and members of his administration have said the objective is to neutralize threats posed by Iran's military capabilities, including missile and naval assets, as part of a broader coalition response.
"We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise," Trump wrote, in part, on Truth Social early Friday morning.
"Iran's Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth," he added. "We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time -- watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!"
Hegseth on Friday said Iran's leadership is "desperate and hiding." He added that the nation's new supreme leader is "wounded and likely disfigured."
As for the U.S., six crew members of a KC-135 refueling aircraft supporting operations against Iran were killed after their plane crashed in western Iraq, the U.S. military said.
CENTCOM, which oversees the Middle East, said the crash followed an unspecified incident involving two aircraft in “friendly airspace,” and that the other plane landed safely.
The crash brings the U.S. death toll amid the conflict to at least 13 service members, seven of whom were killed in combat. About 140 U.S. service members have been injured, including eight severely, the Pentagon said earlier this week.

US to give Israel one week to end the war
A senior regional political source told Israel Hayom that Iran's regime is unlikely to change and that the US has given Israel only a week to conclude the campaign. The source said regime change would require a ground invasion or renewed protests in Iran, which is not expected in the near term.

A senior political source from the Middle East tells Israel Hayom that the US wants the military campaign against Iran to end, and has given Israel just one week to conclude it. The source also assessed that the regime in Tehran is unlikely to be replaced, because such a change would require either a ground invasion by troops or the renewal of large-scale protests inside Iran, something the source does not believe will happen in the near future.
According to the senior source, there is a major gap between how the war is viewed in the US and how it is seen in Israel. In Washington, the source said, officials are worried about the impact on oil prices, whereas Israel sees the war as an achievement and is celebrating it.
The source also addressed the issue of Lebanon and Hezbollah, saying that despite Israel's killing of Hezbollah's previous secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, the organization is still standing, as is Hamas.
According to the source, Israel is making a mistake by not fully pursuing diplomatic channels after the military achievements it has secured, adding that countries in the region could help advance such efforts, saying that the matter is sensitive.
Regarding Qatar, the source said Arab states now view it as a sister country. This marks a significant shift in the region's attitude toward Qatar, which had previously been seen as playing a "double game," not only in Israel's eyes but also among Arab countries. Now, after Qatar mediated the hostage deal together with Egypt, and after President Donald Trump gave it a central role in developments in the Gaza Strip, attitudes toward Doha have changed.
However, the source did not spare criticism of the Israeli government over developments in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank. According to him, some elements within the government have extremist tendencies and are exploiting the confrontation with Iran to create facts on the ground and push Palestinians out of their homes. The source said the government is missing an opportunity to calm the situation, including in the Gaza Strip, and to pursue diplomatic steps.

Two wounded as Hezbollah continues attacks on Israel’s north
One of the wounded parties was a 50-year-old woman with shrapnel wounds on her limbs, while the other was a 60-year-old man who had been hurt by the shockwave of an explosion.
ByMIRIAM SELA-EITAM
MARCH 13, 2026 03:12
Updated: MARCH 13, 2026 13:09A wave of strikes from Lebanon on Friday afternoon led to two more wounded in northern Israel, Magen David Adom stated.
One of the wounded parties was a 50-year-old woman with shrapnel wounds on her limbs, while the other was a 60-year-old man who had been hurt by the shockwave of an explosion.
Both were only lightly wounded, MDA said.
Nearly 60 wounded by Iranian missile barrage
Some 58 people were wounded after a ballistic missile struck Israel during the third Iranian missile barrage targeted the country's north on early Friday morning, Magen David Adom said in a statement.
Seven firefighting teams from the Nof Galilee Station responded to the scene, Israel's Fire and Rescue Authority said on Friday morning.
According to the authority, the missile struck near four houses, heavily damaging one of the homes, as well as several cars.
The strike also sparked a fire in a nearby building, which quickly spread into an open field.
MDA said that it has evacuated one person moderately wounded from shrapnel and 57 others mildly wounded by glass shards to nearby hospitals for further medical treatment.
“When we arrived at the scene, we saw damage to several homes and shattered glass," MDA EMT Eran Abo said. "We saw a 34-year-old woman suffering from a back injury caused by shrapnel, and her condition is defined as moderate, as well as a 17-year-old girl who was mildly injured by broken glass."
All 58 admitted to hospital, incident being reviewed
Emek Medical Center in Afula said that it has admitted 30 of those wounded in the strike, including 15 adults and 15 children. Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa said it has admitted the additional 28, including 12 children.
Medical personnel also evacuated an additional 15 people suffering from anxiety to the hospital.
Regular and reserve forces of the Home Front Command are currently operating alongside emergency personnel at the scene of the strike, the IDF said early Friday morning.
A situational assessment was conducted at the site "in cooperation with emergency and rescue authorities, in order to clear the scene."
The IDF added that the circumstances of the incident are under review.

Israel collecting intel from Iranians on the ground for strike targets - report
Security official says tips from civilians helped guide drone strike on Basij checkpoints in Tehran
i24NEWS
Israel has relied in part on information provided by ordinary Iranians to identify some targets for strikes inside Iran during the current conflict, a senior Israeli security official told the Wall Street Journal. The official said civilians have sent potential targets to Israel through Persian-language social media accounts operated by the country.
According to the official, information sent by Iranians on the ground is reviewed and verified before being used operationally. The official said that if the information is confirmed as accurate, Israeli forces may act on it.
The approach was used Wednesday night when an Israeli Hermes unmanned aerial vehicle struck Basij checkpoints in Tehran, the official said. The Basij militia is part of Iran’s security apparatus.
Iranian state media also reported Wednesday evening that Israeli drones targeted checkpoints in Tehran. The reports said the strikes resulted in the deaths of several members of the Iranian security forces, including personnel from the Basij militia.
The senior Israeli security official told the outlet that civilians have transmitted potential target information via Israeli social media accounts in Persian. The information is then vetted by Israeli authorities before any action is taken.

Iran’s New Supreme Leader Is “Obsessed With The End Of Days”, And People On Both Sides Believe We Are Witnessing An End Times War In The Middle East
March 12, 2026
For a lot of people, this war with Iran is not just another war. Millions of Shiite Muslims all over the world are convinced that this is the war that will result in the rise of the Mahdi. In fact, most of Iran’s key leaders are eagerly watching for the appearance of the Mahdi. So why would they give up if they actually believe that the Mahdi is going to show up at any moment? To them, that wouldn’t make any sense at all. On the other side, there are millions of Christians all over the world that believe that this war with Iran is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Of course there is a tremendous amount of debate within Christian circles about which passages of the Bible are actually being fulfilled. But if this war with Iran is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, we should expect other major events to soon follow.
According to someone that once knew Mojtaba Khamenei very well, Iran’s new supreme leader is “obsessed with the end of days”…
It comes as another source, a former study partner of Mojtaba, revealed that the new Supreme Leader is said to be ‘obsessed with the end of days’ and is ‘more dangerous’ than his father.
The man that is making this claim is an exiled Iranian official named Jaber Rajabi.
He says that Mojtaba truly believes that his destiny is to “have a special part” in ushering in the return of the Mahdi…
While studying with Mojtaba at The Qom Seminary – the most highly regarded centre for Islamic scholarship in Iran – Rajabi described him as ‘obsessed with the end of days’ and that he believed ‘he himself will have a special part in hastening humanity down that path’.
According to Twelver Shia – the largest branch of Shia Islam studied by Khamenei at Qom – the 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, who is believed to be in hiding, will return at the end of times to establish a period of global justice in which oppression is eradicated.
Islamic apocalyptic traditions describe major conflicts happening before this era, including the Malhama al-Kubra – a great battle sometimes interpreted as a confrontation with Western powers.
If Mojtaba and other Iranian leaders are convinced that this war with the United States and Israel is actually “the Malhama al-Kubra”, why in the world would they ever give up?
From their perspective, that would be unthinkable.
It is so important to see this war from their perspective.
They believe that the U.S. and Israel represent everything that is evil, and they are also waiting for the imminent arrival of the Mahdi.
So there will be no surrender.
In fact, one expert is claiming that the Iranians will never surrender “in a million years”…
Citrinowicz said that if the war ended today, he would not consider it a victory for the U.S. “because the regime is not going to capitulate, not in a million years.”
“As long as this regime is there, [there will be] no unconditional surrender,” he said, adding that the regime is not going to give up its missile or nuclear capacity.
He said the new supreme leader could instead “cross the Rubicon towards a nuclear bomb.” According to Citrinowicz, the late ayatollah “was afraid to cross that threshold,” though he pushed to enrich uranium.
According to Twelver theology, a very evil figure must appear on the scene before the arrival of that Mahdi.
That very evil figure is known as “the Dajjal”.
As I discussed in a piece that I published earlier this month, many Shiite leaders have become convinced that Donald Trump is “the Dajjal”.
And Twelver Shiites also believe that the Mahdi is supposed to kill “the Dajjal” once he arrives.
Are you starting to understand why the Iranians view this war completely differently than we o?
Here in the western world, many Christian leaders are starting to link this current war with Iran to Bible prophecy.
In an article that was just put out by the Daily Mail, they quoted Pastor Jeff Cramer of Westminster Calvary in Colorado…
Pastor Jeff Cramer at Westminster Calvary in Colorado said the current moment carries ‘biblical significance’ because ‘Iran is ancient Persia,’ arguing that ‘there are prophetic issues that are with them for sure.’
He pointed to Ezekiel 38, which names Persia among the nations aligned against Israel, and said recent developments in the Middle East have caused some Christians to believe those prophecies could be moving closer.
‘We’re living in the prophetic timeline somewhere close to chapter 37 and the opening of chapter 38,’ Cramer said.
He argued that Israel remains central to biblical prophecy, saying, ‘Israel is always God’s timepiece when it comes to prophecy,’ and suggested modern conflicts involving Iran should be viewed through that lens.
Of course Pastor Cramer has a lot of company.
Right now, so many prominent Christian voices are talking about Bible prophecy.
Interestingly, discussions about the end times are reportedly even happening in the U.S. military…
One US solider reported his commander to the troops that the war with Iran was, “[A]ll part of God’s divine plan.” The soldier continues that this commander made numerous references to the Book of Revelation which predicts Armageddon and the Second Coming, saying US President Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”
Many are convinced that God is on Donald Trump’s side and that this will ensure victory over Iran.
On the other side, the Shiite Muslims that are running Iran believe that when the Mahdi shows up it will guarantee their victory over the United States and Israel.
I don’t think that this war is going to end any time soon, and many have been warning that we will see terror attacks on U.S. soil.
In fact, there were a couple of terror attacks on U.S. soil on Thursday.
In Michigan, someone drove a truck that was “carrying explosives” into a very large synagogue…
The shooter who drove a truck carrying explosives into a Michigan synagogue with an attached preschool has been killed, officials say.
The truck caught fire after ‘something ignited’ when the gunman smashed into the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township on Thursday.
A man armed with a rifle was found dead inside the vehicle, Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said. Law enforcement sources said his body is ‘badly burned’ but provided no further details.
In addition to “carrying explosives”, authorities are also telling us that there was a “chemical agent” inside the vehicle…
Authorities confirmed that a ‘chemical agent’ was found inside the truck that rammed Temple Israel in Michigan on Thursday morning.
Police sources confirmed to FOX 2’s Jessica Dupnack that the chemical agent, which was not identified, indicated that there was an explosive device inside the shooter’s vehicle.
The shooter, who died on the scene, threw an explosive projectile at the building before opening fire at the house of worship.
This incident could have been really, really bad.
We should be very thankful that there was not a very large explosion and that the chemical agent was not dispersed, because there were 140 students inside the building at the time…
Temple Israel released a statement late Thursday afternoon, confirming “everyone is safe.”
“All 140 students in our Susan and Harold Loss Early Childhood Center, our amazing staff, our courageous teachers, and our heroic security personnel are all accounted for and safe,” the statement read.
So who did this?
Well, Bill Melugin of Fox News is reporting that it was a “naturalized citizen from Lebanon”…
The suspect in the synagogue shooting is a naturalized citizen from Lebanon, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reports, citing three law enforcement officials.
Did this “naturalized citizen from Lebanon” have any connection to Hezbollah?
I am sure that we will find out.
The other terror attack that happened today occurred at Old Dominion University in Virginia.
The terrorist gunman killed one person and wounded two others.
The shooter had been previously convicted of providing material support to ISIS in 2016, but he was allowed out of prison under the Biden administration in December 2024…
The gunman who killed one person and wounded two others at a Virginia university campus on Thursday had previously been imprisoned for trying to support ISIS, sources told CBS News.
Law enforcement sources identified the gunman in the Old Dominion University shooting in Norfolk as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a 36-year-old former Virginia National Guardsman who pleaded guilty in October 2016 to attempting to provide material support to the terror group ISIS. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison and was released early in December 2024, according to his Federal Bureau of Prisons record.
I am sure that there will be many more attacks if this war persists for an extended period of time.
For many Shiite Muslims, this is the big one.
For many Christians, this war has Biblical importance.
Personally, I fully agree that this war is extraordinarily important.
But I also think that things are going to play out differently than most people are anticipating.
We are truly living at one of the most pivotal moments in human history, and I expect global events to get really wild during the months ahead.

Thanks To The War In Iran, A Moment Of Reckoning Has Arrived For The Entire Global Economy
March 12, 2026 by Michael
Global financial markets are starting to shake, and it is because of what is happening in the Middle East. At this stage, every day is a rollercoaster ride for investors, and that is not likely to change any time soon. The Iranians have paralyzed traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and trying to reopen it by force is going to be exceptionally difficult to do. As you will see below, this is going to have enormous implications for every nation on the entire planet. We are in the early chapters of a major global crisis, and a tremendous amount of pain is ahead.
On Thursday, Mojtaba Khamenei issued a statement in which he boldly declared that the Strait of Hormuz must remain closed in order to “pressure the enemy”…
Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said Thursday that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz maritime passage should be continued as a “tool to pressure the enemy,” in his first public statement since being appointed.
Khamenei also said all U.S. military bases in the Middle East should close immediately and “those bases will be attacked,” in televised comments translated by Reuters.
Oil prices extended gains following the statement, read out by a state TV broadcaster. The shipping of oil through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively stopped since the war began, causing global oil prices to soar. Iran warned on Wednesday that the price per barrel could climb to $200.
Needless to say, the Iranians are fully capable of carrying out Khamenei’s threats.
Several more vessels have been attacked within the past 48 hours, and that includes a U.S.-owned oil tanker that was completely destroyed…
Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency also released a dramatic video apparently showing a missile strike on a U.S.-owned tanker in the Persian Gulf. The video shows a massive explosion on a vessel that is then engulfed in flames as people aboard what appears to be an IRGC attack boat celebrate. CBS News Confirmed identified the vessel as the Safesea Vishnu, a crude oil tanker sailing under a Marshall Islands flag, but owned by the New Jersey-based company Safesea Group LLC.
Now that Iran has officially closed the Strait of Hormuz, it will be up to the U.S. military to try to reopen it.
This will not be an easy task.
In fact, some military experts are warning that it could take months to accomplish that goal…
Unblocking the Strait of Hormuz is shaping up as a remarkably complex and time-consuming task.
The fate of the global oil markets—and the global economy—rests on whether ships can traverse the 22-mile-wide waterway from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. More than 10 days after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, there is no clear plan for reopening it. Military experts say the effort is so daunting it could take months to achieve, absent a fast and full cease-fire.
So exactly why will it be so difficult to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
As one expert has aptly noted, the Iranians are able to block traffic through the Strait in a multitude of different ways…
The problem is that the strait can’t be cleared solely through a bombing campaign, or an attack by destroyers. Iran’s navy has been severely depleted by the U.S., but the country doesn’t need large attack ships to scare commercial vessels away. Its weapons include mines, fast attack boats, missiles and drones. Layered on top of each other, they become exceptionally difficult to remove.
“They’ve created an integrated, vertical stack of threats that can cover the strait from undersea all the way to above the surface,” said Jonathan Schroden, chief research officer at the Center for Naval Analyses, a federally funded nonprofit that does research for the Navy.
If you take out all of their missiles, they would still have thousands of drones.
If you could somehow locate and eliminate all of the drones, they would still have their fast attack boats.
And even if you could eliminate all of their fast attack boats, they would still have thousands of naval mines.
My point is that this crisis is not going to be resolved easily.
And that is really, really bad news for the global economy.
Right now, approximately half of the available global fleet of liquified natural gas carriers is trapped in the Persian Gulf…
According to the WSJ, at least 20 LNG carriers about half the available global fleet – are trapped in the Persian Gulf, with daily freight costs soaring as demand from Asia surges, according to ship brokers.
This is a nightmare.
Liquified natural gas prices have already soared in Europe and in Asia, and this is probably only just the beginning…
Ship brokers said the 20 ships trapped in the Persian Gulf make up nearly half of all LNG ships currently available for charter, with daily rates rising to more than $200,000 from less than $98,000 before the start of the Iran hostilities.
Energy traders expect LNG prices to rise by early next week, adding to this week’s 40% rise in Asia and Europe. “The effect on LNG shipping will outlast the conflict for a few months,” Karathanos said.
Amid the scramble to procure LNG, more shipments bound for Europe are diverting to Asia. At least nine cargoes initially headed to Europe have changed course to Asia since the start of the fighting, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, with the trend accelerating in recent days. A buffer of spare supply is quickly drying up, threatening more competition and higher prices for both regions.
Meanwhile, a very large percentage of the nitrogen fertilizer that famers in the northern hemisphere are counting on is also stuck in the Persian Gulf region…
Nearly half the world’s traded urea — the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer — comes from the Gulf region, with Qatar accounting for one-tenth of the global supply, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
When QatarEnergy last week halted production after Iranian strikes on Ras Laffan, the world’s biggest LNG and fertilizer hub, hundreds of thousands of tons of key fertilizer nutrients and precursors were sidelined.
The compounding effects of the Iran war threaten the third major risk to global food security in six years, after the COVID-19 pandemic and Moscow’s seizure of farmland and ports used to export Ukrainian grain at the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine in 2022.
If we can’t get that fertilizer into the hands of the farmers that need it, we are going to have a massive problem on our hands.
Approximately half of the entire population of the world eats food that is grown using nitrogen fertilizer…
About 4 billion people on the planet eat food grown with synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. Roughly half of the global population, in other words, is alive because of these chemicals converted into nutrients for plants, said Lorenzo Rosa, who researches sustainable energy, water, and food systems at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University.
If this war persists for an extended period of time, famine will become a major global theme.
Of course the war with Iran has also caused the greatest oil supply disruption in human history…
The war in the Middle East is creating the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market, the International Energy Agency said in a report on Thursday slashing its annual supply outlook, shortly after the group announced its biggest-ever oil stock release.
It is now being projected that the price of oil could soon hit $150 a barrel, and that would absolutely crush the global economy…
If it remains fully closed for weeks, analysts see oil prices climbing to $150—a level that could send the U.S. and other economies into recession. Countries are going to great lengths—from emptying their strategic oil stockpiles to rerouting supplies through underutilized pipelines—to find other ways to replace the shortage. None of those ideas will come close to replacing all the lost supplies.
Meanwhile, trouble is brewing in the financial markets.
In fact, George Noble is warning that a major crisis is emerging in the private credit market…
George Noble, a longtime Fidelity fund manager and Wall Street veteran, sees big problems brewing in the booming private credit market.
The former director of Fidelity Overseas Fund recently wrote that he sees the makings of a financial crisis in the sector, echoing others who have worried about a spate of negative headlines in recent months.
So what is it specifically that has him so spooked?
Well, it is the fact that so many big players are starting to block investors from withdrawing their money…
“We’re watching a financial crisis unfold in real time,” he said in a post on X. “The last time funds started blocking investors from getting their money back, Bear Stearns collapsed six months later.”
The collapse of the investment bank is often seen as one of the first dominoes of the 2008 financial crisis. Noble pointed to recent news of redemptions at major firms, including BlackRock, Blackstone, and Blue Owl.
Noble is right.
We haven’t seen anything like this since 2008.
And now we can add Morgan Stanley to the list…
Morgan Stanley’s investment management arm became the latest asset manager to cap withdrawals from a private credit fund, telling investors in a letter Wednesday evening that it saw a wave of redemption requests this quarter.
The company’s North Haven Private Income Fund, which has $7.6 billion in total investments, received investor requests to buy back around 10.9% of outstanding shares in its quarterly tender offer. The fund capped repurchases at 5%, its previously disclosed threshold.
“By maintaining appropriate limits on the quarterly repurchase offer, the [fund] seeks to avoid asset sales during periods of market dislocation and provide for conservative capital structure management through evolving market conditions,” the letter said.
This is it guys.
What we have been waiting for has officially begun.
I hope that you are ready for what is coming next, because the months ahead are going to be absolutely filled with chaos.

Explosive Study Finds Almost 1 In 2 Muslims Under 40 Has ‘Islamist’ Attitudes
Remix News
12th March 2026
6 comments‘Societal time bomb
This post is republished with permission from Remix News
A newly released study by the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), nearly 50 percent of Muslims under the age of 40 in Germany hold “Islamist” views, with these Muslims expressing an attraction to Islamism, a preference for Sharia law over the German Basic Law, and harboring anti-Semitic prejudices.
The findings, described as “explosive in nature,” were featured in the latest edition of the “Motra Monitor.” The study reports that as of 2025, Muslims in Germany under the age of 40 (45.1 percent) hold “latent or manifestly Islamist attitudes.“
Some German politicians have already voiced their views on the study’s release. Wolfgang Kubicki, a prominent politician in the Free Democrats (FDP) and former MP, stated on X: “This study should set off all the alarm bells. It is a societal time bomb. We must not only talk about migration, but also about integration and religion. The policy of naively looking away has favored this development. The naivety must stop.”
He further stated that “anyone who demands a caliphate is an enemy of democracy. Enemies of democracy without German citizenship must leave the country. Neighborhoods where ghettoization provides fertile ground for radicalization must be restructured. Islamic associations without a clear demarcation from extremists must not be interlocutors for politics. Germany must act secular and self-confident.”
He further called for an end to headscarves in schools and other state institutions “not to harass or suspect the wearers, but to make it clear that the only binding source of our values is the Basic Law.”
Beyond rising crime rates, terrorism offenses, and demographic change, the soaring numbers of Muslims in Europe also raise fundamental questions about worldview and society.
The “Motra monitor,” a monitoring system tracking radicalization, spans 598 pages. It is published by the BKA and receives funding from several entities, including the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Family Affairs. While the report addresses various forms of extremism, including right-wing movements, it places a significant focus on Islamist extremism.
Evidence of these tensions surfaced in the summer of 2025 when “young Muslims and radical left-wing Germans occupied the Gutenberg Memorial in Frankfurt to demonstrate against Israel, some of them willing to use violence.“
The study’s researchers highlight a concerning core demographic, noting that “manifest Islamist attitudes are most prevalent among Muslims under 40, at 11.5 percent.“
In this context, “manifesto“ indicates that a person’s radicalization toward Islamism is already clearly evident and pronounced.
Further complicating the social landscape is a much larger group identified by the authors as having “latently Islamism-savvy attitudes.” This segment has seen a massive increase since 2021. The research group writes that “this amounts to 33.6 percent for those under 40 in 2025.“
While “latent” suggests these Islamist attitudes are present, the radicalization has not yet become openly visible. Combined, these two groups account for “45.1 percent“ of all under-40 Muslims in Germany.
Renowned Islamism researcher Prof. Susanne Schr
öter, who conducted most of her research into Islamism at the Institute of Ethnology at Goethe University Frankfurt and served as the director of the Frankfurt Research Center for Global Islam until 2025, said to Bild: “Islamism-savvy means that Muslims consider Islamist interpretations of Islam to be correct, are attracted to Islamist organizations close to the Muslim Brotherhood or Salafism, prefer Sharia to the Basic Law, and usually also have anti-Semitic prejudices.”The BKA study suggests that the radicalization of young Muslims accelerated significantly following the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023.
Germany is far from the only country seeing the rise of Islamism within the populace. A sobering study from the prestigious polling service Ifop from last year shows that hardline views are growing amongst Muslims in France, including an emphasis on the laws of Islam being placed over those of the state, particularly among young Muslims. At the same time, Christianity is collapsing in France.
Among Muslims in general, 44 percent polled say they “respect the rules of Islam” as being more important “than respect for French laws.” For those aged 15-24, 57 percent believe the rules of Islam are more important than “respect for French laws.”
Some 38 percent of French Muslims approve of all or part of Islamist positions, doubling the figure of 19 percent in 1998, underlines Ifop.
Correspondingly, the share of Muslims who want Islam to modernize has fallen from 48 percent in 1998 to 21 percent today. When Ifop requested respondents to choose between the Civil Code and Sharia law on “an important subject in your family, such as ritual slaughter, marriage or inheritance,” 49 percent of Muslims chose to respect French laws, down from 62 percent in 1995. The consumption of alcohol among Muslim men has also fallen sharply, from 46 percent in 1989 to only 26 percent today.
Today, 33 percent of Muslims residing in France — French citizens or foreign nationals — feel sympathy for one of the Islamist movements, a figure that rises to 42 percent among young people. Within this population, 3 percent have sympathy for the most radical and bloody ideology, jihadism.

Fresh US Intel Assessment Says Iran Regime Not Close To Collapse After 2 Weeks At War
by ZeroHedge
March 12th, 2026 1:45 PM
A fresh report in Reuters says what should already be quite obvious to all: US intelligence has assessed that Iran’s leadership and government are largely in tact and the system does not risk collapse, after two weeks of heavy sustained US-Israeli bombardment and ‘decapitation’ strikes which have killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and over forty top military leaders.
One of the intel sources was cited as saying that “multitude” of intelligence reports provide “consistent analysis that the regime is not in danger” of collapsing and “retains control of the Iranian public”.
The source in the Wednesday-issued Reuters report indicated the most recent US intelligence was only completed within a few days prior. This week President Trump has also been busy declaring that the war could end “soon” and that “we won”.
And yet, the intelligence assessments indicates Iran’s clerical leadership has remained cohesive, now rallying around the late supreme leader’s successor – his son Mojtaba Khamenei, who is said to be more hardline. Other sources suggest that it is the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) effectively running the country and executing the war. Indeed Israel and Gulf states continue to get pummeled in retaliatory missile and drone waves. Of course, Tehran itself is enduring heavy destruction, also as the US-Israeli strikes go after civic infrastructure.
Reuters adds: “Israeli officials in closed discussions also have acknowledged there is no certainty the war will lead to the clerical government’s collapse” – based also on the perspective of a senior Israeli official.
We might point out that any serious analyst would have assessed this before the strikes had even started, and indeed there’s some evidence that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Sstaff tried to warn just this before Trump ordered the operation.
As one pundit has pointed out: “Endurance regimes do not need clean victory to change the game. They only need to survive the shock while making the old equilibrium too costly for their adversaries to restore.” So ‘winning’ for Iran looks much different, compared to US objectives.
Journalist Jeremy Scahill, who starting over two decades ago covered the lead-up to the Iraq war from on the ground in Baghdad, has reiterated that “In asymmetric warfare, the less powerful side does not need to militarily defeat an adversary, but rather force it to a point where it determines the costs of continuing the war is too high.”
Concerning Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, there does appear to be a concerted effort to collapse the system, though pretty much all war analysts are in agreement that doing this in a purely air campaign is next to impossible.
Striking directly at the banking system could be part of these efforts, as a Wednesday regional report indicates:
The data center of Iran’s state-run Bank Sepah was hit by a strike in Tehran on Wednesday, The Jerusalem Post learned.
The disruption at the bank, which is largely responsible for paying the salaries of Iran’s military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is expected to prevent it from paying salaries for a period, forcing it to find alternative solutions.
Reports suggest that a vital data center crucial in carrying out payments to some up to 190,000 IRGC members was impacted, though we might also presume there’s redundancy to the data and other systems capable of carrying this out. But the thinking might be that if the troops can’t get paid, and their families can’t survive, this would immediately weaken the country’s ability to defend itself.

Only one scenario turns 'Roaring Lion' into victory
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not rushing to lay down its arms, while Hezbollah continues launching rockets and oil prices soar. Each of these three fronts will influence the length of the war and its final outcome.
by Oded Granot
Published on 03-10-2026 08:19
Last modified: 03-10-2026 08:19The selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's new Supreme Leader is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' provocative battle cry. They chose him as successor even though he has never held a single official position in his life, despite his lack of charisma and despite his limited religious authority to serve as the earthly representative of al-Mahdi, the last imam who ascended to heaven and is expected one day to return to redeem the world and Iran from its suffering. He was chosen for one reason only: to continue the fight.
For many leaders of the Revolutionary Guards who are still fighting, this ceased long ago to be an ideological war or a religious struggle between believers and infidels. It is a fight for survival. If they lose, they will be forced to reunite in heaven with their assassinated leader and, at the very least, lose the status, the billions they have pocketed and the privileges they accumulated over years at the expense of the Iranian people.
There is no dispute about the basic facts of this war. A vast majority of Iranian citizens are fed up with the rule of the ayatollahs, want lives of freedom and liberty, and cannot understand why the brutal regime has devoted decades to the illusion of destroying Israel instead of ensuring the welfare of its own people.
A war with three unknowns
The same is true in Lebanon, perhaps even more so. Lebanon's entire government, both the president and the cabinet, along with a large majority of the Lebanese public, do not want the war with Israel to continue. They do not accept the absurd claim that Israel has territorial ambitions in Lebanon, and they are convinced that Hezbollah, since its founding 44 years ago, has brought the country nothing but a chain of disasters and destruction.
Lebanon Border
Israel is now fighting simultaneously against the Iranian regime and its most dangerous terrorist proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah. But this is a war shaped by three unknowns that no one can yet predict or solve.
When will the regime collapse?
The first unknown: What is the precise Archimedean point at which the intensive strikes by the US and Israel will bring about the collapse of the regime in Tehran? When will the moment come when Revolutionary Guard members lay down their weapons, scatter in all directions and the Iranian public floods the streets to seize power and establish a free, democratic and life-seeking state?
As the war enters its second week, that moment has not yet arrived. Missile launches continue, a new leader has been chosen and official statements from the regime keep appearing as usual.
When will Hezbollah be weakened enough?
The second unknown: What is the Archimedean point at which Hezbollah will be so exhausted that the Lebanese Armed Forces will gather the courage to move against it and disarm it?
So far, that has not happened either, even though the Lebanese government has declared that the organization is operating outside the law and threatening Lebanon's sovereignty and independence, and has instructed the army to act.
The army, which includes many members of the Shiite community, still fears confronting Hezbollah. Chief of Staff Rudolph Haikal reportedly suggested in a closed government meeting that officials should "open dialogue with Hezbollah about handing over its weapons" rather than storming its positions.
The decision by Lebanon's military court last night to release Hezbollah operatives on $20 bail after they were detained at checkpoints with rocket launchers showcases the weakness of the central government.
When will Trump decide to stop?
The third unknown: What is the Archimedean point at which US President Donald Trump will decide, under pressure from domestic opponents of the war, from soaring oil prices, from dwindling weapons supplies or from other considerations, to declare that Iran has been defeated, that victory has been achieved and then withdraw the armada?
Such a scenario, which is not entirely imaginary, would leave Israel alone with three open fronts: Iran, Lebanon and Gaza, the last of which almost forgotten by now. Of the three, the Hezbollah front is the most dangerous and troubling.
Before the war began, Trump, the most Israel-friendly US president, was the one who restrained Israel both in Gaza and in Beirut. Now American involvement may also be required to help Israel finish the job in Lebanon.
"Roaring Lion" cannot end without the full and complete removal of the Hezbollah threat to residents of northern Israel and the opening of a real, not imaginary, possibility of a peace agreement with the Lebanese government and its eventual entry into the Abraham Accords.

Kremlin says 'it seems the end of the world is upon us' because we have never lived through something worse
By WILL STEWART and PERKIN AMALARAJ, FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Published: 03:41 EDT, 9 March 2026 | Updated: 13:28 EDT, 9 March 2026
Putin's spokesman has addressed the growing fear that 'the end of the world is upon us' with most people having never lived through a worse time.
Dmitry Peskov also hit out at a breakdown in 'international law' as massive US and Israeli strikes on Iran continued in an onslaught the Kremlin has labelled a 'perfect storm.'
Russia appears helpless to assist Tehran except possibly in providing intelligence on American and Israeli military positions.
Putin's mouthpiece said today: 'There have been worse things in human history… but we weren't alive then, so it seems to us that the end of the world is upon us.'
Amid the war in the Middle East, Putin, who illegally invaded Ukraine four years ago, believes 'we have all lost what we call international law', said Peskov.
'To be honest, I don't even understand how anyone can call on others to follow the norms and principles of international law. It no longer exists.'
'It is unlikely that anyone can now formulate what law has replaced international law….No one can provide a clear definition,' said the Russian dictator's spokesperson.
'Therefore, Putin is correct. Against the backdrop of this perfect storm that has now begun, we need to focus on ourselves, our interests, and our potential.
'Where it is lacking, we need to build it up, think carefully, and remain focused.'
Today, Putin pledged 'unwavering support' to Iran's new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, appointed after his father and predecessor was killed in US-Israeli strikes.
'I would like to reaffirm our unwavering support for Tehran and solidarity with our Iranian friends,' Putin said in a message to Khamenei, adding that 'Russia has been and will remain a reliable partner' to Iran.
'At a time when Iran is confronting armed aggression, your tenure in this high position will undoubtedly require great courage and dedication,' the Russian leader said.
It comes as the war in the Middle East caused an enormous spike in the price of oil, as the cost of a barrel rocketed to above $100 for the first time in years.
An emergency meeting of the G7 has been called for today, where firefighting options including the release of oil reserves - held back for crises such as this - will be discussed.
The main issue is the near-total closure of the Straight of Hormuz, through which around a fifth of the world's oil travels, which means major uncertainty hangs over short-term supply.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard has threatened to 'set ablaze' any Western tanker that attempts to navigate the strait, and hundreds of ships laden with oil, as well as liquefied natural gas, have amassed either end of it.
For the first time since war broke out, the effect of this disruption was felt reflected acutely in the markets, when the price of a barrel of Brent crude shot up almost 24 percent.
It took just a minute for the price to rise by 10 percent, and 15 minutes for another 10 percent, seeing it surge beyond the $100 mark for the first time since the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Petrol prices at the pump are also likely to spike as the higher cost filters through to consumers.
UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves will attend an emergency meeting of G7 finance ministers at 1:30pm GMT, chaired by France, to address the economic fallout of the war.
The ripples from war in the Middle East are already being felt in Europe, with rising energy prices and NATO allies targeted, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said today.
'We are now seeing a regional conflict with unintended consequences. And the spillover is already a reality today,' the European Commission president told EU ambassadors, ahead of a midday call with Middle Eastern leaders.
'Our citizens are caught in the crossfire. Our partners are being attacked,' she said, citing an Iranian-made drone hitting a British base on EU-member Cyprus, trade disruptions and the 'displacement of people'.
While Iran has not officially shut off the Strait of Hormuz - through which a fifth of the world's crude supplies and a substantial amount of gas run - shipping through the critical waterway has all but dried up.
European gas prices also jumped as much as 30 percent Monday, albeit remaining well below the peaks reached in the aftermath of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Von der Leyen stressed that 'there should be no tears shed for the Iranian regime'.
'The people of Iran deserve freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future - even if we know this will be fraught with danger and instability during and after the war'.
The 'longer-term impact' of the war posed 'existential questions' on the future of an international rules-based system and the 27-nation's bloc place in the world, she told the annual gathering of European Union diplomats in Brussels.
'The idea that we can simply retrench and withdraw from this chaotic world is simply a fallacy,' she said.
Von der Leyen also addressed the Ukraine conflict and assured the gathering that Brussels will see through a vital 90 billion euro ($104 billion) loan to Kyiv that is being blocked by Hungary.
'We will deliver on our commitments, because our credibility - and more importantly, our security - is at stake,' she said.

IRGC: We will decide when war ends, Trump warns of death, fire, and fury
Iran’s IRGC warns it will “determine the end of the war" and threatens to halt regional oil exports if US and Israeli attacks continue. Trump: If Iran does anything, we will hit them 20 times harder.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) responded on Monday night to US President Donald Trump, after he predicted that the war against Iran could be over soon.
In a statement quoted by Reuters, the IRGC said they would "determine the end of the war", adding that Iran would not allow "one liter of oil" to be exported from the region if US and Israeli attacks continue.
Responding to the threats in a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far."
He added, “Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again - Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them - But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated."
Trump, speaking earlier at a news conference, said that “we are close to finishing". He added the war would be over “soon" but estimated it would not happen this week.
The President was asked what “winning" looks like and replied, "When, basically, I can see that they will no longer have any capacity whatsoever, for a very long period of time, of developing weaponry that could be used against the United States... or any of our allies."

The Israeli military says it has killed more than 1,900 members of the Iranian regime since the start of its campaign, while continuing strikes on Iranian missile launchers and Hezbollah targets
i24NEWS
The Israeli military said Monday evening it is continuing its campaign against Iran and its regional allies, reporting significant strikes on Iranian military infrastructure since the start of the operation.
IDF spokesperson Effie Defrin said Israeli forces have killed more than 1,900 members linked to the Iranian regime and wounded many others as part of efforts to weaken Tehran’s military and strategic capabilities.
According to the army, Israeli strikes have also targeted key logistical assets, including six military airports and 16 transport aircraft used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to move weapons and funding across the Middle East.

The IDF said it is also continuing operations against Iranian missile launchers to reduce the threat to Israel. In Lebanon, the military reported striking more than 700 Hezbollah targets, including over 100 linked to the group’s Radwan force, as well as infrastructure in Beirut. Israeli troops are also continuing ground operations in southern Lebanon aimed at dismantling Hezbollah positions.
Defrin acknowledged that Iranian and Hezbollah attacks have resulted in two deaths and several civilian injuries in Israel, noting that while the country’s air defense systems are highly effective, they cannot provide complete protection.
He urged the public to follow safety instructions issued by the Home Front Command and said there are currently no changes to civilian security guidelines, including the reopening of schools.

Iran's strikes on Gulf oil signal desperation, diplomats warn
Diplomatic sources in Washington and the Gulf warn that Iran's escalating attacks on regional energy facilities reflect a leadership convinced it has nothing left to lose.
by Danny Zaken
Published on 03-09-2026 23:00
Last modified: 03-09-2026 23:15Washington and Gulf capitals assessed Monday that Iran plans to intensify attacks on Gulf oil and gas facilities, despite the risk that the United States could respond by fully disabling Iranian energy infrastructure. Diplomatic sources from the Gulf said the escalating pattern of Iranian strikes on Gulf energy sites reflects two conclusions.
The first is Iran's broadening effort to pressure the US by driving up global oil prices through those attacks. The second is the extreme pressure on the Iranian regime, and the sense within it that all available measures must be used – with no red lines – to prevent its collapse.
According to those sources, the impact of American and Israeli strikes has been felt deeply, and as a result, the regime has shifted toward the more extreme position advocated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – that negotiations are pointless, that there should be no limits on attacks, and that only severe damage to the global economy will end the war.
Before the operation, this scenario was considered and gamed out, but the assessment was that Iranian strikes against Gulf oil facilities would come only at a later stage. "If Iran is attacking the oil facilities of its Arab neighbors, it means it feels the end is near and must use every maximum measure available to force the Americans to stop," one of the Gulf diplomats said.
The American response scenarios for such attacks include insurance backing and naval escorts for tankers passing through the Gulf, neutralizing threats from the Iranian navy, and heavy strikes on missile and drone launchers targeting the Gulf states. Even so, Iran still has enough launchers to sustain the campaign.
Simultaneously, the Americans are increasing their own natural gas exports and working to boost oil output from other countries. Among the options being weighed is easing sanctions on Russia to allow it to expand oil exports, primarily to India, a major consumer of Gulf energy. The current expectation is that this situation will last several days – perhaps somewhat longer – with oil prices rising to some degree, more so in Europe and the East than in the US, but not over the long term.
The American scenario anticipates that after several difficult days, Iranian attacks will taper off due to the daily attrition from American and Israeli strikes and from damage to the regime's leadership and infrastructure. On the offensive side, a hard strike against Iranian oil fields and facilities is also on the table, and a symbolic strike of that kind may come soon as a warning to the Tehran regime.
Over the longer term, the American war plan is projected to yield very positive economic outcomes for the US and the Middle East. These stem from several factors: the removal of the Iranian threat to Gulf states and to oil and gas shipping lanes; opportunities to develop Iranian oil and gas fields in partnership with Western – and primarily American – companies; the development of Iran's mineral reserves, which are used in advanced industries; and more.
For example, Iran holds half of one of the world's largest natural gas fields. That field is Qatar's primary source of revenue, but Tehran has failed to develop its share.
In this context, Israel's strike on the refinery and storage facilities near Tehran was coordinated with the Americans, but subsequently drew criticism from Gulf states, who fear further escalation against their own oil fields.
Discussions on the topic have taken place among the Gulf states and the US, and the handling of Iranian oil fields and facilities has been left to the Americans. An Israeli official told Israel Hayom that Iran had been attacking Gulf oil facilities before, and unrelated to the Israeli strike on Tehran's oil infrastructure. According to the official, Israel struck – among other reasons – because of Iranian missile targeting of Israeli infrastructure.
The official also assessed that the current Tehran leadership, facing acute distress, is playing every remaining card to bring the war to a quick end. "They are willing to jeopardize their main economic sector – oil – for the chance that the US will decide to stop, due to economic pressure."
On the question of fire directed at Israel, the official said Iran's current strategy amounts to a war of attrition – firing individual missiles during daylight hours to disrupt the Israeli economy, while carefully managing its weapons inventory to sustain weeks of harassment. Israel and the US, the official said, are working to degrade launch capabilities, hit symbols of regime power and its infrastructure, and will strike hard at civilian infrastructure, including oil facilities, if necessary.
"Iran is in a far worse position than we are. They are simultaneously waging a battle for public opinion, trying to convince audiences in the US and the West to pressure their governments into halting the strikes before the regime falls or loses its grip on the military units and the country as a whole."

Largest US military hospital abroad halts labor, delivery services amid Iran war -- Too Many U.S. Casualties
Hal Turner World March 07, 2026 Hits: 19728
The Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, located near Ramstein Air Base in Germany, is temporarily referring some labor and delivery patients to other hospitals within the local community, hospital.
The medical center sent a notice about the halt in those services to Landstuhl patients through a Tuesday memorandum that circulated on the unofficial Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page. The memo states that the closure of labor and delivery is due to the hospital’s “primary objective.”
Although the memo doesn’t elaborate on what that objective is, the hospital’s primary role is critical combat care ; to treat patients that are injured during training or combat operations throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East, according to the hospital’s website.
Many people see this as extremely solid evidence the U.S. is hiding casualty figures.

by Tyler Durden
Authored...
Flight disruptions tied to Operation Epic Fury in the Middle East exceeded 14,000 by the end of last week. While there were early signs of normalization by mid-week, the global aviation industry remains disrupted, with some of the weakest airlines facing an increased risk that surging energy prices could lead to the idling of commercial jet fleets.
The epicenter of the disruption is Persian Gulf airports and airlines. As of Friday, ten countries had closed their airspace, either partially or completely, since Operation Epic Fury against Iran began one week ago, according to Flightradar24 data.
Despite ongoing IRGC drone and missile attacks across Gulf states - sometimes targeting civilian infrastructure such as airports - some airports began resuming flights by midweek, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and King Khalid International near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, there are reports of a direct strike on the airport in Dubai on Saturday.
It is clear that flight disruptions across the Gulf states will persist as long as Operation Epic Fury continues. With U.S. CENTCOM stating overnight that the operation is only accelerating and only suggests disruptions will extend into next week.
The big risk flagged by Deutsche Bank analysts, led by Michael Linenberg, is that surging jet fuel prices could hit some of the weakest airlines.
With Brent crude futures up roughly 52% year to date and jet fuel up 100% to 125%, Linenberg warned clients in a note on Friday that "financially weakest carriers could halt operations."
"Year-to-date oil prices are up ~50% while jet fuel prices are up 100% - 125%. Absent near-term relief, airlines around the world could be forced to ground 1,000s of aircraft while some of the industry's financially weakest carriers could halt operations," the analyst said.
Linenberg continued:
US jet fuel crack spreads (i.e., the difference between underlying oil prices and jet fuel prices) for Gulf Coast, New York Harbor, and West Coast now range from $85 to $95 per barrel, a level that is at or above the underlying feed stock - WTI oil price currently trading at $86.04 and Brent oil price $88.99 (see Figure 1 below).
The last time we witnessed this phenomenon was in 2005 when crack spreads of as high as $65 per barrel exceeded ~$60 per barrel oil prices in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The damage to the airline industry was significant and widespread including major airlines Delta and Northwest filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2005.
He warned that surging crack spreads amount to a major headwind of more than $20 billion for the airline industry and identified the carriers he sees as most exposed:
Over the past month, we have seen jet fuel prices climb $2.00 per gallon (e.g., Gulf Coast jet fuel prices last close of $4.30 versus $2.24 on February 5, 2026). Our current industry forecast calls for the US airline industry to consume 20 billion gallons of jet fuel in 2026, which suggests a fuel price headwind in the $10s of billions on an annualized basis. This compares to our 2026 operating income forecast of ~$20 billion. In Figure 2 below, we highlight 2026 EPS sensitivity to fuel price changes on a ceteris paribus basis. In reality, airlines will respond to higher fuel prices.
For example, we estimate a $10 across-the-board fare increase sustained on an annual basis could add $7 - $8 billion to top-line. Other important considerations include the negative impact of higher fuel prices on the US economy, and more specifically on demand for air travel, particularly among the most price sensitive consumers.
Looking at airline stocks, the S&P 500 Passenger Airlines Index fell 12.6% on the week, marking its largest decline since the 18% drop in the first week of April 2025, when Trump and China argued back and forth over trade.
The index hits turbulence as soon as the operation began.

These EM Countries Face Greatest Risk If Energy Shock Spreads
This adds to the growing list of secondary effects from Operation Epic Fury: the next wave of flight disruptions may stem not from disrupted Gulf air hubs, but from the energy shock itself, which could force the weakest carriers to idle fleets.

BREAKING: FBI Upgrades NYC Islamic IED Plot Against Christians to Potential Terrorism – Suspect Name-Dropped ISIS to Cops…Here’s the Disgusting Media Spin
March 8, 2026
Mark Van der Veen
You know that infuriating moment when radical Islamists throw an IED at peaceful Christians, shout “Allahu Akbar,” and the mainstream media still refuses to call it what it is — Islamic terrorism? That’s the sickening reality unfolding in New York City after two apparent Islamic terrorists attacked a group of Christians staging an anti-Islam protest outside Muslim race-communist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mansion. The suspects lit and threw devices clad in black tape toward the protesters, prompting immediate chaos.
The FBI has now upgraded the investigation to a potential act of terrorism after one of the Muslims referenced ISIS to police. NBC is already spinning this as Islamic terrorism, plain and simple — no word games. The bomb was charged with an enormously volatile substance known as TATP, the same explosive used by Muslim terrorists in the Middle East. This was serious. And it was ISLAM.
Instead of reporting on the reality of the situation, the media and large left-wing social media accounts have decided to frame the attempted bombing as an attack on Mamdani himself. Even CBS, who the Left has called state-media of the Trump administration lately, got in on the action.
Social media platforms joined in as well, as the news headline on Elon Musk’s X boiled it down to “Counter-Protesters Throw Lit Devices at Anti-Islam Rally Near Mayor’s Home.” Counter-protesters? Not exactly what I would call genuine framing. While the media plays games about genuine instances of terror against American citizens, their Democrat allies continue to withhold funding from Homeland Security. By omitting the reality of the story, they are letting their pals in Congress off the hook.
NEW YORK – Today, in response to yesterday’s protests outside of Gracie Mansion, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani released the following statement:
Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are.
What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.
I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day.
My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.
The uploaded image shows Mamdani’s statement overlaid on a photo of the Gracie Mansion entrance with a protester in a white cap walking past police barriers. The mayor’s statement frames the protest as “white supremacist” and bigotry while downplaying the attempted bombing as “violence at a protest.” No mention of the ISIS reference, TATP explosives, or the clear Islamic motivation. Classic deflection.
This is the culture Mamdani has enabled — radicals throw bombs at Christians, shout “Allahu Akbar,” and the mayor blames the victims. The media spins it as an attack on him. The left protects their own while Americans suffer. The FBI calling it potential terrorism is the only honest reporting we’ve seen so far.
Patriots are furious. This isn’t “counter-protesting.” It’s attempted murder. The media and Mayor Mamdani are complicit in the cover-up. Demand justice — name it Islamic terrorism and hold them accountable.

Saudi Pipeline Blown-Up; 5 Million Barrels of Oil Per day OFFLINE
Hal Turner World March 07, 2026 Hits: 30728
With the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia began re-routing their oil through a 742 mile long pipeline called the "East-West Pipeline (PETROLINE) as seen on the map above. That pipeline is now blown up.
The pipeline was capable of carrying five million barrels of oil per day. Now, it can move nothing.
Middle Eastern countries have watched their ability to ship oil, crippled by the Israel/US/Iran conflict. Saudi Arabia had previously built the East-West pipeline in case of such an eventuality, so THEIR oil could still be shipped, albeit via the Red Sea.
Those plans just got blown up.
Expect the price of oil to jump again, and the price for Gasoline to follow.
Here in northeastern Pennsylvania, 94 octane gasoline ("Super unleaded") was $3.279 per gallon one week ago; tonight is is $3.72 Up $0.45 per gallon in one week.
Diesel fuel one week ago was $4.079 per gallon one week ago; today diesel at that same station is now $4.999 per gallon. Up $0.92 in one week.

Explosion hits US embassy in Oslo... as rockets targeting embassy in Baghdad are shot down
By WILL POTTER, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER
Published: 21:02 EDT, 7 March 2026 | Updated: 04:08 EDT, 8 March 2026
Attacks were launched on US embassies in Norway and Iraq on Saturday night as the crisis in the Middle East threatens to spiral out of control.
Rocket fire aimed at the US Embassy in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad was blamed on 'rogue groups' by local officials.
Footage appeared to show a US Army C-RAM interceptor system shooting down the rocket fire, sending a stunning red laser across the skies as it took down the munitions.
A security source told AFP that four rockets were launched toward the embassy. Three were intercepted but one fell in an open area in the embassy's airbase.
There have not been any reports of injuries so far. Non-emergency staff were ordered to leave the embassy four days ago amid the escalating tensions.
Meanwhile in Norway, a large explosion was also reported outside the US Embassy in Oslo at 1am local time.
The explosion caused 'minor injuries' and damage to the consular entrance of the embassy, Oslo Police Chief Michael Dellemyr told NKR.
The source of the explosion in Oslo or who was responsible is unclear, police said.
Smoke was seen rising from the area around the embassy compound, eyewitnesses told Norwegian outlet Verdens Gang.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani indicated the attack in Baghdad was launched by a rebel group, saying that he ordered his security forces to find the perpetrators of the 'terrorist act.'
'The perpetrators of these attacks are committing an offence against Iraq, its sovereignty, and its security. These rogue groups that operate outside the framework of the law in no way represent the will of the Iraqi people,' Shia al-Sudani said.
Iraqi security officials told AP that the missile that evaded interception landed on the helicopter landing pad in the embassy's airbase.
The attack marked the first such strike on Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses government offices and diplomatic missions, since the US-Israeli strikes on Iran eight days ago.
It comes as President Donald Trump admitted he may 'possibly' deploy US troops on the ground in Iran, but said there would have to be a 'very good reason' for him to do so.
The president floated the idea on Air Force One on Saturday, after attending the dignified transfer of the remains of six US servicemembers killed so far in his war with Iran.
His remarks came as Israel launched a fresh wave of airstrikes on Tehran, engulfing the Iranian capital in fireballs as plumes of black smoke filled the skies across the region.
Stunning footage circulating social media showed apocalyptic scenes in the capital on Saturday night, which came as the Israeli military said it was moving into a 'new phase' of the war by targeting Iranian oil refineries and storage sites.
Hours earlier, Iran sent another barrage of retaliatory strikes at its Gulf neighbors, with debris from an intercepted missile striking the luxury 23 Marina skyscraper in Dubai.
In a separate incident in Dubai, one man was killed after debris from an 'aerial interception' fell on his car, and Dubai Airport was evacuated following an Iranian drone attack.
The strikes were launched while Iran's de facto leader Ali Larijani told state media that the nation would not cede to Trump's demands for 'unconditional surrender', and he vowed that the United States 'must pay the price' for killing late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
In a furious speech on Saturday night to state media, Larijani said: 'Americans must know that we will not let them go.'
'When the enemy attacks us from military bases in the region, we will respond, this is our right and our policy.
'We don’t want the region to be destabilized but the essence of this war will destabilize the region.'
The reciprocal strikes have threatened to spiral the war across the Middle East out of control, with Trump earlier warning that he was considering sending a mega-strike he dubbed 'the big one' this weekend.
Larijani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, who many consider the most powerful man Iran after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was assassinated, issued a series of outlandish, issued a string of unverified claims about the conflict on X on Saturday night.
The leader claimed that American soldiers have been taken prisoner, and baselessly accused Donald Trump of lying about the number of American military deaths.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the stories were unfounded, and told Al Jazeera: 'The Iranian regime’s claims of capturing American soldiers are yet another example of its lies and deceptions.'
They issued the rebuke after Larijani accused Trump of 'promoting a misleading narrative' about the six American soldiers killed in Iranian strikes in the week since the war broke out. Larijani previously alleged that the true number of US casualties is 'over 500.'
'Then, soon enough, with the passage of time, they gradually increase the number of the dead, under various pretexts, such as incidental accidents or fabricated incidents,' he said in an X post
In another post minutes later, Larijani added: 'Under the pretext of an accident, they will inflate the number of casualties.'
'It has been reported to me that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner. But the Americans claim that they have been killed in action. Despite their futile efforts, the truth is not something they can hide for too long,' Larijani said in another post.

Hegseth explains religious aspect of Iran war amid eschatology concerns: 'We're fighting religious fanatics'
By Jon Brown, Christian Post Reporter Monday, March 09, 2026
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth acknowledged during an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes Overtime" that aired Sunday that the war in Iran has a religious element, a comment that comes amid concerns regarding the role eschatology is playing in the conflict.
When Hegseth asserted that U.S. troops involved in the conflict are protected by "the providence of Almighty God," CBS News' chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett asked the secretary to clarify if he "views any of this in a religious context."
Pete Hegseth admits the war against Iran has religious meaning for him, according to his version of Christianity.
Hegseth says it’s important to give U.S. soldiers faith before they go to war.

Hegseth responded by at first pivoting to Islam, saying, "Obviously, we're fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order for some religious Armageddon; but from my perspective, obviously I'm a man of faith who encourages our troops to lean into their faith, rely on God. There's no atheists in foxholes. Your mortality is right on front of you."
"I remember prayer, for me, on combat missions, how important that was. That's why we're making the chaplain corps great again and active again, making sure we're pouring into the faith of our troops."
Hegseth went on to note that Christian faith "and faith in general" is important to President Donald Trump and that he believes service members facing danger must be grounded in faith that steels them more firmly than "self-help, self-esteem nonsense."
"They need a connection with their almighty God in these moments, and I'm proud of how our troops are conducting themselves, and I pray for them every day," he added.
The eschatology of the Twelver Shia Islam that prevailed among the late Iranian leadership anticipates that Muhammad al-Mahdi, or "the Mahdi," who is considered the "final imam," has remained hidden since the ninth century and will reappear to restore justice at the end of the world.
The potential role such theology has played in driving Iran's pursuit of nuclear capabilities remains highly debated. Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was initially reported killed by the joint U.S.-Israeli attacks last month but later said to be alive, has invoked the Mahdi publicly.
Some have expressed concern regarding the potential role certain interpretations of Christian eschatology might also be playing in the Iran war. Last week, the nonprofit Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), led by Mikey Weinstein, claimed that hundreds of service members have sent him complaints alleging that they are being told there is a religious element to the conflict.
One complaint alleged that a commander told non-commissioned officers during a briefing on March 2 that Trump was "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth."
The Pentagon did not respond to The Christian Post's request for comment on Weinstein's claims.
During a 2018 speech he delivered in Jerusalem that has recently resurfaced, Hegseth expressed optimism that a third temple might be rebuilt on the Temple Mount, which has been occupied by the Islamic Dome of the Rock since the seventh century. Some schools of Christian eschatology believe that a third temple must be rebuilt to usher in the reign of the Antichrist before the Second Coming of Christ.

"There's no reason why the miracle of re-establishing the temple on the Temple Mount is not possible," Hegseth said at the time. "I don't know how it would happen, you don't know how it would happen, but I know that it could happen."
Political commentator Tucker Carlson, who has fielded intense backlash and accusations of antisemitism in recent months for his unfavorable attitude toward the Israeli government and his vocal opposition to military intervention in Iran, criticized Hegseth's apparent eschatological views during a monologue last week, and questioned what role they might be playing in U.S. foreign policy.
Tucker Carlson exposes Pete Hegseth as a Zionist shill.
“I had no idea he had such evolved and specific and apparently very informed opinions on rebuilding the third temple. This is not something they teach you about in Sunday school.”
“That’s the Secretary of War right now.” pic.twitter.com/bmXtWCqq5f
— Fractured Light (@FracturedLight0) March 6, 2026
Carlson also noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., an outspoken supporter of the war, has characterized it as "a religious war" between radical Islamic terrorists and those whom they see as infidels, especially Jews and Christians.
Christians disagree on whether a third temple will be built in Jerusalem. Even the early church fathers disagreed, with figures such as Irenaeus and Hippolytus of Rome associating a rebuilt physical temple with the figure of the Antichrist. Later church fathers, such as John Chrysostom and Jerome, were skeptical at the notion of a rebuilt temple, teaching that the true temple is now spiritual.
Roman emperor Julian the Apostate's attempt to rebuild the temple in A.D. 363 was abandoned when an earthquake shook the region of Jerusalem, prompting fire to erupt from the Earth and scorch the workers who were attempting to rebuild it, according to Jerome and Ammianus Marcellinus, a contemporary Roman historian.
Most pastors and church leaders in the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), Hegseth's denomination, are postmillennial in their eschatology, according to Douglas Wilson, a prominent CREC pastor in Moscow, Idaho, who helped found it.

Only 47% of Americans say religion is ‘very important’ as Religious ‘nones’ reach record high
Mar 9, 2026
(OPINION) Americans with no formal religious identity, popularly known as the “nones,” reached a record share of the population in 2025, according to Gallup data that shows fewer than 50% of adults also report that religion is “very important” in their lives.
The findings, based on interviews with more than 13,000 U.S. adults across Gallup’s monthly 2025 surveys, show that the share of Americans identifying as “nones” reached a new high of 24%, up from 21% to 22% over the previous four years. The share of Americans identifying as “nones” has grown steadily from 2% in 1948 to its current record.
In addition to the quarter of American adults identifying as “nones,” some 28% have said religion is “not very important” in their lives, which has remained constant since 2022.
Less than half (47%) of American adults say religion is “very important” in their lives, while another 25% said it is “fairly important” to them.
The share of Americans who say religion is “very important” in their lives has registered below 50% in recent years. It has been in gradual decline from 58% in 2012, and 70% to 75% in the 1950s and 1960s, according to Gallup.
“Americans’ relationship with religion continues to evolve, marked by fewer adults describing religion as central to their lives, rising religious nonaffiliation and persistently low levels of religious service attendance,” Megan Brenan, a senior editor at Gallup, concluded.
The survey shows that while a majority of all demographic groups in America said their faith was very important to them from 2001 to 2005, only six groups remain highly religious, well over 50% today.
They are: Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Republicans, Protestant or nondenominational Christians, black adults, adults aged 65 and older, and Southerners, said Gallup. Majorities of lower-income Americans, women, and those aged 50 to 64 also report that religion is very important to them. READ MORE

Authorities search debris after suspected tornadoes kill 6 in Michigan, Oklahoma
By DAVE COLLINS, STEVE KARNOWSKI and MIKE HOUSEHOLDER
UNION CITY, Mich. (AP) — Authorities searched through rubble and debris in southern Michigan on Saturday after suspected tornadoes tore through the region and killed four people, including a 12-year-old boy, during powerful storms also blamed for two deaths in eastern Oklahoma.
First responders from multiple agencies in the Union Lake area near Union City looked for more possible victims and worked to clear roads, authorities said. Photos and videos posted on social media showed flattened homes and downed trees in a lakeside neighborhood.
The National Weather Service said an initial assessment confirmed that an EF3 tornado with winds of at least 150 mph (241 kph) struck the Union Lake area Friday.
The weather service also reported seven preliminary tornado tracks in eastern Oklahoma that same day, according to the state’s emergency operations center.
The threat of severe weather continued Saturday in the nation’s midsection, with tornado watches posted in the afternoon for eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia and western Pennsylvania and New York.
Severe thunderstorms that began in northern Indiana appeared to spawn multiple tornadoes in southern Michigan the previous day, said meteorologist Lonnie Fisher of the National Weather Service, which sent teams to the region to evaluate the damage and confirm tornadoes.

The strike in BeirutSocial media
The IDF early Sunday morning conducted a precise strike targeting key commanders in the IRGC’s Quds Force's Lebanon Corps who operated in Beirut, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement.
According to reports in Lebanon, the targeted strike occurred at the Ramada Hotel in the Raouche district in central Beirut. The strike targeted one of the rooms inside the hotel.
The IDF statement said that the commanders of the Quds Force's Lebanon Corps operated to advance terror attacks against the state of Israel and its civilians, while operating simultaneously for the IRGC in Iran.
“The Iranian terror regime operates systemically in the heart of the civilian population in Iran and Lebanon, cynically exploiting the civilian population as human shields to advance terror attacks," it said.
“The Lebanon Corp connects the Hezbollah terrorist organization and the Iranian terror regime, supports Hezbollah force-building, and functions as the connection between senior IRGC personnel and Hezbollah leadership," added the IDF.

The statement noted that prior to the strike, steps were taken to minimize harm to civilians, including the use of precise munition and aerial surveillance.
“The IDF will not allow the Iranian terror regime elements to establish themselves in Lebanon and will continue to precisely eliminate the commanders of the Iranian terror regime wherever they operate," stated the IDF.
According to reports in Lebanon, four people were killed and ten were injured in the direct strike.

Who really runs Iran?
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized on state television to neighboring countries for recent attacks, but missiles and drones continued to strike the Gulf region soon afterward. At the same time, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and other hardline figures publicly rejected the president's statement, showing deep divisions within Iran's leadership and suggesting that real power remains in the hands of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
by Danny Citrinowicz
Published on 03-07-2026 23:05
Last modified: 03-07-2026 23:06Pezeshkian's statement was not a marginal episode. It raises a fundamental question: who is actually in charge of Iran right now? The assumption that the Iranian system was resilient enough to withstand the shock of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's assassination, partly because it had long prepared for such a possibility, is now facing serious doubt, especially in light of Israel's continuing strikes on Iranian command and control centers.
Pezeshkian, who can be described as perhaps the weakest president in the history of the Islamic Republic and someone with limited influence in the regime's key power centers, now joins Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in suggesting that they are struggling to reach forces on the ground that had already received prior instructions.

In his address to Iran's neighbors on state television, Pezeshkian offered a rather subdued apology for the attacks and called for regional cooperation. "From now on, we will not attack neighboring countries unless they attack us first," he said, referring to attacks launched from their territory. Pezeshkian is one of three members of the temporary leadership council established following Khamenei's assassination, alongside the head of the judiciary and a cleric representing the Assembly of Experts.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, together with other figures from the hardline camp closely aligned with the Revolutionary Guards, responded in unmistakable terms, openly challenging the authority of someone who is theoretically one of the three people tasked with running the country during the interim period until a new supreme leader is selected.
"The defensive policy of the Islamic Republic is fixed and will not change, according to the directives of our martyred imam," the parliament speaker wrote. "As long as American bases exist in the region, countries will not see calm. The source of any attack will be the target of our response."
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf
The continued attacks point to two possible explanations: either there is a growing disconnect between the political leadership and the security apparatus, or elements within the security establishment are acting independently of the political leadership. What is happening behind the scenes is impossible to see, but when the political leadership says one thing while the opposite occurs on the ground, it signals a mounting challenge within the regime's decision-making system.
Pezeshkian was a weak president even before the war. Khamenei's death may have increased his authority on paper, but in practice the security establishment appears to pay little attention to his statements or directives. He can say whatever he wishes. The reality is that the decisions that matter are made by the security institutions, foremost among them the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Every day that Iran delays appointing a new supreme leader deepens the sense of uncertainty within the regime. The system was expected to move relatively quickly after Khamenei's death, but the ongoing hesitation suggests profound internal disagreements over the succession.
One possible outcome is the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei, the eliminated leader's son. Such a move could raise concerns that the next supreme leader would function largely as a figurehead while the Revolutionary Guards hold the real power.

If that scenario unfolds, it could further complicate Iran's internal power structure and make the situation even more volatile. While Pezeshkian appears to be trying to participate in the decision-making process, or at least signal that he is doing so, the Revolutionary Guards seem to be operating according to their own calculations, with the forces on the ground still guided by instructions that Khamenei issued before his death.
In a sense, the spirit of the supreme leader still governs events. Even the appointment of a successor may not necessarily lead to a departure from the course he set.
Either way, the regime's embarrassing chain of events likely increased pressure to accelerate the decision on Iran's next supreme leader, if only to provide it a sense of certainty.

Could Israel’s fight with Iran accelerate Gulf-Israel cooperation?
Maayan Hoffman | Published: March 7, 2026
Israel’s exit strategy from the war with Iran must deliver more than battlefield victories. It must also reshape the strategic reality of the Middle East, according to Dr. Erel Margalit, a former member of the Knesset and the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
Margalit contends that the conflict offers a unique opportunity to forge stronger partnerships among regional countries, especially with Gulf states, in security, technology, and economic development, pushing cooperation beyond wartime necessity.
The need to defend ourselves, all of us in the region, creates an alliance,” Margalit, the founder and executive chairman of Jerusalem Venture Partners, said. “You need to share resources and strategies… I think our security alliances can go to the next level.”
Since the conflict began last Saturday (28 Feb), Iran has attacked installations in a dozen countries, drawing much of the region in. As a result, many countries are now working with Israel to strengthen air defenses and coordinate against the Islamic regime, which has long spread terror directly and through proxies.
Regional partners first demonstrated this potential cooperation in April and October 2024, when several countries worked together to help intercept hundreds of drones and missiles that Iran had fired at Israel.
Some analysts now argue that this growing coordination could accelerate a broader security architecture, linking Israel with Sunni Arab states that share concerns about Iran.
Margalit, whose venture capital firm is one of the largest in the region, said he envisions cooperation that extends beyond defense. He pointed to partnerships not only with Abraham Accords countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, but potentially with Saudi Arabia and others.
He said collaborations are already underway in areas such as cybersecurity, anti-money laundering, and artificial intelligence for the insurance, banking, and defense industries.
“These collaborations could be taken to the next level,” he said.
Margalit’s experience informs his perspective. For more than three decades, he has worked at the intersection of business, security, and regional cooperation, advancing economic partnerships both before and after the Abraham Accords.
“I lead JVP in Jerusalem, but we also have big hubs in New York and Tel Aviv,” Margalit explained. “You have an ecosystem collaboration that is much larger than just a company-to-company collaboration.”
He said that effectively bringing the UAE into this ecosystem could open trade and partnerships with India and other countries in the region. Moreover, if a political and diplomatic agreement could be formed with the Saudis, it could be complemented by a much larger economic move.
“Saudi Arabia is very inspiring, and many people from there are talking to us or to some of our companies, and there's already some collaboration behind the scenes,” Margalit shared. “It's time to take it to the next level. And the next level means broader security collaboration, broader economic collaboration, and probably it's about time that Israel, in its next chapter, takes a proactive move diplomatically, just like it knows how to take proactive moves militarily.”
Margalit’s vision is for the Middle East to sit around the table as a major economic partner with the United States and Europe. He said many young people in the region are looking for their next chapter, and that future wealth need not come from oil but could come from major global strategies in areas such as artificial intelligence for healthcare, agriculture, and other industries.
“Israel is also a leader there, and we'd love to expand our collaboration on that level as well,” Margalit said.
He added that cybersecurity is also essential. While Israel and the United States fight Iran, much of the media is counting missile attacks. But what the public does not see are the cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure across the region. Margalit warned that such attacks can cause damage almost as severe as physical strikes.
He said this is another area where regional collaboration is needed to protect people, banks, governments, insurance systems, and other key infrastructure.
He also highlighted additional areas for partnership, including data center technologies and cloud capabilities.
“We like the triangle between Israel, New York, and Europe,” Margalit said. “It would be so good to add the Gulf region into that, creating a quartet of capabilities.”
Ultimately, whether Israel and the region can translate short-term military coordination into lasting diplomatic and economic frameworks will determine if this moment catalyzes transformative Gulf-Israel cooperation, a central opportunity emerging from the war.
For now, the military war against Iran continues. But if Israel and the United States succeed, Margalit’s vision could become one of the most significant outcomes of the conflict.

Missile barrages and national determination: The signs that the conflict could continue for some time
Nine days into the Israel–U.S. offensive on Iran, missile launches are declining but the war shows no sign of ending; Hezbollah has escalated attacks from Lebanon as Washington deploys more forces and leaders signal a long campaign ahead
Ron Crissy|Yesterday | 20:49
Missile barrages from Iran and Hezbollah, and a “campaign that may last a long time — but is necessary”: Nine days have passed since Israel and the United States launched a large-scale offensive against Iran, and although there appears to be a downward trend in the number of launches by the Islamic Republic, the end of the campaign is nowhere in sight.
Over the weekend, Israel and the U.S. entered the “next phase” of the operation, and on Saturday night Hezbollah launched its most significant barrage since joining the fighting. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted the conflict could continue for some time, telling Israelis in a national address on Saturday night that “we will need determination together.”
Attack in Tehran on Saturday night
Netanyahu also said regarding the operation in Iran that “we still have many targets, and I will not detail them here.”
IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin also said earlier on Saturday that the campaign may last a long time, but stressed that “it is necessary.”
Meanwhile, the winds of war are also blowing strongly within the U.S. administration. On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump sent a threatening message to Iran amid the arrival of four American B-1 bombers in Britain.
The arrival of the bombers in Britain came as the Pentagon pledged to increase the pace of strikes against Iran. In addition to the bombers, it was reported Saturday that another aircraft carrier — the USS George H.W. Bush — is also on its way to the Middle East, accompanied by a strike group of three missile destroyers, indicating American preparations for a prolonged campaign. In addition, at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, the massive C-5M Super Galaxy transport aircraft was also documented. The aircraft can carry two M1 Abrams tanks, six Apache helicopters, or 36 military vehicles.
Trump himself said earlier this week that the United States had expected the war to last four to five weeks. “We can do much more if necessary. I don’t get bored,” he said. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added this week: “We are winning, Iran is finished — and we’ve only just begun.”
He noted that additional forces are on their way to the region, saying: “We’re hitting them while they’re on the ropes. More waves are coming — we’ve only just started. The United States will use an unlimited stockpile of guided bombs. Iran will not be able to withstand us. We can continue this fight easily for as long as necessary.”
An escalation in launches from Lebanon
Amid nearly constant waves of strikes in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district, and despite numerous attacks on villages in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah carried out a significant barrage of dozens of launches toward northern Israeli communities overnight. The move marks an escalation by the Lebanese Shiite terrorist organization since it joined the fighting, after firing far smaller barrages in recent days.
Alongside a major barrage, Hezbollah fired missiles and drones at northern Israeli communities multiple times throughout the day and overnight, indicating that, despite a long confrontation with Israel over the past two years, the organization still retains capabilities to strike the Israeli home front. In addition to the launches, Hezbollah operatives also have been attacking IDF forces reinforced along the northern border and in southern Lebanon. Since Hezbollah joined the campaign, 14 soldiers have already been wounded by anti-tank fire, five of them seriously.
Entering 'next phase' of war with Iran
Netanyahu also addressed the Lebanese government in his statement Saturday night. “It is your responsibility to enforce the ceasefire agreement and disarm Hezbollah — otherwise there will be disastrous consequences," he said. "The time has come for you to take your fate into your own hands. We will do whatever is necessary to protect our citizens.” He added: “We continue with full force in the war and are winning through initiative and ingenuity, but also through determination.”
Defrin also addressed the fighting with Hezbollah in his statement, stressing that “we will not compromise on dismantling the terrorist organization’s weapons. We are exacting a heavy price from it.” Regarding the possibility of a ground entry into Lebanon, he added that “all options are on the table.”
On Thursday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and the commander of U.S. Central Command, Adm. Brad Cooper, both spoke separately about moving to the “next phase” of the war in Iran. While the first phase focused on regime targets — primarily degrading Iran’s launch capabilities through intensive hunting of launchers and missiles — thousands of new targets have now been added to the list: Iran’s military industry.
The Israeli and American objective is to dismantle Iran’s entire capability chain, from production to the finished weapon. In the case of ballistic missiles, for example, the goal is to strike the entire process — from manufacturing plants, through missile storage facilities, to launchers and the commanders and soldiers who ultimately operate them. The IDF and the U.S. military intend to apply this approach to all of Iran’s military capabilities in the near future, including the use of American bombers capable of penetrating targets located deep underground.

Hal Turner Nation March 07, 2026 Hits: 17668
The world’s largest asset manager is telling people: no, you can’t have your cash back. This has never happened before.
BlackRock has begun limiting customer withdrawals from their Flagship "HLEND" Private Credit Fund. Many shocked Investors are openly asking if BlackRock is quickly headed to becoming the next ENRON?
The Withdrawal Limits came after a surge in redemption requests, as investor worries mount around the $2 trillion private credit industry. Those Investors pulled out $1.2B in Q1 redemption requests (9.3% of Net Asset Value(NAV)). BlackRock is now capping payouts at 5% ($620M) per the fund's rules.
Shares of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, fell 6.7% on the New York Stock Exchange, amid a broader market selloff after worse-than-expected U.S. jobs data and escalating U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
It's not just BlackRock, either.
Blackstone’s similar fund saw a RECORD 7.9% in redemption requests. They had to raise their withdrawal cap and inject $400 million of their own money just to cover the demand.
Blue Owl straight up stopped honoring redemptions. Replaced them with IOUs.
It's starting to look like the financial so-called "Masters of the Universe" weren't so smart after all.
BLK dropped 5%. KKR, Carlyle, Apollo, Ares, Blue Owl, and TPG all fell 5-6% with it.
The entire private credit sector sold off in a single day.
These funds lend money in illiquid loans. Loans that can’t be sold quickly.
So when too many investors want out at the same time, the fund doesn’t have the cash to pay everyone.
BlackRock also just wrote a separate $25 million loan down to ZERO.
It was valued at full price three months ago. Gone overnight.
JPMorgan’s Bill Eigen said it best: “Bad news often happens all at once. The opacity and the leverage in the sector is concerning.”
This is a $1.8 TRILLION industry.
– Rising oil.
– War in the Middle East.
– AI disrupting the software companies that borrowed heavily from these funds.
– Rate cuts off the table.
When the biggest funds in the world start telling investors you can’t have your money back…
That’s a MAJOR warning.

Rare 4.9 magnitude earthquake rattles north Louisiana
Based on available data, this could be the strongest earthquake ever recorded inland in Louisiana.
Author: Athina Morris
Published: 7:37 AM CST March 5, 2026 Updated: 6:42 PM CST March 5, 2026
The United States Geological Survey reported that a magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck Red River Parish early Thursday, an update from their initial estimate of 4.4 magnitude.
The tremor occurred shortly before 5:30 a.m. at a shallow depth of 3.1 miles. Its epicenter was about four miles northwest of Edgefield, and shaking was felt as far away as Shreveport.
"From what I can find in the data, could be the strongest earthquake ever recorded in Louisiana, at least inland," WWL Meteorologist Payton Malone said. The state’s overall strongest quake occurred offshore near Grand Isle in 2006, a magnitude 5.3.
Large earthquakes are rare in Louisiana, as the state is not located on an active fault line like California or the Pacific Northwest. Geologists say these quakes in Louisiana, as well as in neighboring Oklahoma and Texas, are linked to saltwater disposal wells used by the oil and gas industry.
"It's almost certainly induced by man-made operations," USGS Research Geophysicist Thomas Pratt told The Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate last year.
While the USGS recorded Thursday’s tremor, the agency does not assign specific causes to individual earthquakes.

A Pakistani man is on trial over a plot to kill a US politician, possibly Trump
NEW YORK (AP) — A Pakistani man went on trial this week on charges of trying to orchestrate the killing of a U.S. politician, potentially President Donald Trump as he campaigned in 2024.
Asif Merchant, 47, has pleaded not guilty to attempted terrorism and other federal charges. As his trial opened Wednesday in New York, prosecutors said he met with and paid $5,000 to supposed hit men who actually were undercover FBI agents.
Using objects on a hotel napkin to illustrate, Merchant roughed out in June 2024 a scenario for shooting a political figure at a rally, then staging a protest as a distraction for the killer to get away, according to an intermediary’s testimony and a video played in court Wednesday.
“I was shocked,” the intermediary, Nadeem Ali, told the anonymous jury in a Brooklyn federal court. In conversations over two days, Merchant asked him to line up hit men, Ali testified as prosecutors played recordings that he surreptitiously made for the FBI.
Merchant, who eventually met the supposed hit men and gave them $5,000 as an initial payment, was arrested before he gave them a name to target, but he told Ali it would be “someone who was hurting Pakistan and the Muslim world,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nina Gupta said in an opening statement.

Mood Inside Pentagon: Intense. Paranoid. Turns out the "Experts" --- were wrong.
Hal Turner World March 04, 2026 Hits: 24737
'Inside the Pentagon, and among some members of the Trump administration, there is deepening concern which began on Sunday and worsened Monday and Tuesday, that the Iran conflict could spiral out of control.
'The mood here is intense and paranoid', one person said.
There is anxiety among senior leaders that the fighting will extend for weeks, further stressing limited U.S. air defense stockpiles.
'There is concern about this lasting more than a few days', said another person. 'I don't think people have fully absorbed it yet, like, what it has done to our stockpiles. It often takes two or three interceptors to ensure a missile is stopped.'
Others mock that view saying "What kind of nonsense is he talking about? Two or three to stop a missile? They need about ten interceptors to watch the missile strike anyway."
Apparently, the "experts" are trapped in a fairy-tale La-La-Land of their own making. They seem to believe the lies they have been telling themselves for years about how effective US weapons systems are, and how weak our adversaries are.
When the real world intruded upon their La-La-Land echo chamber, the results proved catastrophic. The real world has proven that US Missile defenses are not nearly as effective as the "experts" concluded them to be. Turned out that the real world is not a test range where perfect conditions exist for defenses to operate.
The real world is messy, chaotic, electronically noisy. The defensive systems don't perform as expected.
Making things worse, the incompetent morons in the former Biden regime, gave very large amounts of our defensive missile inventory, to Ukraine. So our supplies are now "very low" and the US has begun TURNING DOWN requests from Persian Gulf allies who are seeking immediate replenishment of their near-empty defense missiles.
The country of Qatar now has less than ONE WEEK of defensive missiles.
In the meantime, Iran keeps firing their older, less accurate missiles at all those US allies, to use-up their missile defenses. Once the defenses are exhausted, Iran can start firing their bigger, better, newer, missiles, and really inflict far more serious damage.
The Trump people approached Iran via Italy over the weekend to talk about a ceasefire. Iran flatly rejected it without any further discussion at all.
Iran's plans are clearly coming together with regard to overwhelming the US and Israeli defenses.
Unless the US can neutralize Iran's launch capability - and as already made incredible progress to that goal - Iran can actually win this conflict.
Russia and China are helping Iran. Payback to the US for what the US has been doing to Russia by supplying Ukraine, and what the US is trying to do to China: Cutting off Iran oil to China, which has to import 80% of Iran's oil to meet China's annual oil needs.
(HT Remarks: Long before this conflict began, I told readers of this website and listeners to my radio show, that if we went to war against Iran to placate the whiny Israelis, we would be opening Pandora's Box. Now, even the most mentally dense can see that Pandora's Box is open, and it isn't working out well for us.)

Many Muslims Believe That Donald Trump Is The Islamic Version Of The Antichrist
By Michael Snyder/End of the American Dream March 05, 2026
Share this article:
For large numbers of Muslims all over the world, the fact that Donald Trump is leading an attack on Iran is evidence that the Islamic apocalypse is upon us. I realize that this may sound crazy to many of you, but this is what they actually believe.
In Islamic theology, there is a shadowy figure known as "the Dajjal" that rises during the end times. According to Wikipedia, "the Dajjal" roughly corresponds to the figure of the Antichrist in the Christian faith...
Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (Arabic: الْمَسِيحُ الدَّجَّالُ, romanized: Al-Masih ad-Dajjal, lit. 'the deceitful Messiah'),otherwise referred to simply as the Dajjal, is an antagonistic figure in Islamic apocalyptism who will pretend to be the promised Messiah and later claim to be God, appearing before the Day of Judgment according to the Islamic eschatological narrative.
The Dajjal is not mentioned in the Quran, but he is mentioned and described in the Hadith. Corresponding to the Antichrist in Christianity, the Dajjal is said to emerge out in the East, although the specific location varies among the various sources.
There is nobody in the world that Shiite Muslims hate more than Donald Trump.
And so it shouldn't be any surprise that many of them have started to believe that Trump is "the Dajjal"...
But a Fox News Digital investigation reveals that, for certain hardline Shiite ideologues, including in the U.S., this is not an ending but a prophetic showdown that will usher in the arrival of the "Mahdi," a messiah, according to Islamic eschatology, or the theology of end times.
In this prophecy, Mahdi will emerge to battle Dajjal, the Islamic equivalent of the Antichrist, in a final battle of Armageddon. For many of these ideologues, President Donald Trump is Dajjal.
Yes, a lot of them really do believe this.
And this is not a recent phenomenon.
More than a year ago, a senior cleric in Iran preached a sermon in which he boldly declared that "the Dajjal" is Trump...
A senior cleric appointed by Iran's Supreme Leader suggested in a sermon on Friday that US president Donald Trump was the one-eyed Islamic equivalent of the Antichrist prophesied to menace humanity around judgment day.
"He is completely one-eyed, and this is a sign of the end times," Seyyed Hassan Ameli told congregants in a sermon for Islamic Friday prayers according to the Tehran-based Didban News website.
Now that war has erupted, Muslims all over the world are having debates about whether Trump is "the Dajjal" or not.
This is particularly true in Shiite communities.
To many Shiites, the rise of the Dajjal is a sign that the Mahdi is about to reappear...
In the Twelver denomination of Shīʿa Islam, one of the signs of the reappearance of the Mahdi whom Twelvers consider to be their 12th Imam from the Ahl al-Bayt ("People of the Household"), is the advent of the Dajjal.
"Whoever denies al-Mahdi has denied God, and whoever accepts al-Dajjal has denied God (turned an infidel)." This Shīʿīte ḥadīth attributed to Muhammad strongly emphasizes the return of Dajjal and the event of the reappearance of the Mahdi.
This is why many of those that are currently running Iran do not fear this war.
They have actually been looking forward to exactly this sort of a scenario. Once the Dajjal rises, the Mahdi is supposed to return during a time of great chaos and war...
Before his reappearance (Arabic: ظهور, romanized: ṭuhūr), the world will plunge into chaos, where immorality and ignorance will be commonplace, the Qur'an will be forgotten, and religion will be abandoned. There will be plagues, earthquakes, floods, wars and death.
Of course it isn't just Shiite Muslims in Iran that believe this nonsense.
Fox News actually discovered that this ideology is being preached at a Shiite mosque in northern Virginia...
At a recent Friday sermon at a local Shiite mosque in northern Virginia, an imam closed prayer with an earnest plea, before war broke out in Iran: "May Allah destroy all the nonbelievers - or kafiroon or munafiqoon," he said, using Arabic words that refer to "nonbelievers" and "hypocrites."
He asked for this victory "before the arrival of Imam Mahdi."
Fox News Digital observed the sermon and also witnessed a special table of honor in the middle of the mosque's main prayer hall, featuring framed photos of Khamenei embracing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrullah, also killed by Israel for orchestrating terrorist attacks.
Even though the United States and Israel clearly have the upper hand in this war so far, many Shiites fully expect the tide to turn once the Mahdi shows up.
Apparently the Mahdi's army is supposed to travel from Iran to Syria where the Mahdi will join forces with Jesus. Then the Mahdi is supposed to kill the Dajjal in the land of Israel...
In the majority Sunni sect and the minority Shiite sect of Islam, clerics describe the Mahdi's army traveling from modern-day Iran to Damascus, Syria, where Jesus would appear at the Umayyad Mosque and pray behind the Mahdi. The Mahdi's forces would battle Dajjal in Syria and kill him in Lod, Israel, conquering the world.
Days ago, Iran's state-run Islamic Republic News Agency repeated the end-times narrative, quoting Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, claiming the regime is the "government of Imam Mahdi" and its anti-U.S. "resistance is the path to hastening his reappearance."
I know that this sounds like a bunch of nonsense, but many Shiites take this stuff very, very seriously.
And a lot of them are entirely convinced that now is the time for these things to happen.
So they aren't going to just lay down their arms and give up, because they are expecting the Mahdi to show up on a white horse at any moment.
The Shiite leaders of Iran will fight like mad because they believe that the Mahdi will soon come riding to their rescue.
Of course that isn’t going to happen, and millions of Shiite Muslims will be deeply disillusioned once all of this is finally over.

Silver Lights Fuse of Derivatives Time Bomb – Bill Holter
By Greg Hunter On March 4, 2026 In Market Analysis 68 Comments
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter (aka Mr. Gold) predicted that by March, silver would likely suffer a failure to deliver physical metal at COMEX. In other words, demand for physical silver will swamp the existing supply. The math is scary and simple, and Holter breaks it down, “The registered inventory at COMEX in silver is 86 million ounces. On the second day of March, there are already 52 million ounces of silver standing for delivery. That leaves 30 million to 35 million ounces unspoken for. . .. This looks dicey. If they have 52 million ounces standing for delivery now, where is it going to be at the end of the month? If silver fails to deliver, then what you are going to have in the gold market is buyers stepping up that normally would not even buy and ask for delivery. . .. The bottom line is if silver fails to deliver, gold will fail to deliver in 24 hours. Once that happens, then confidence breaks. . .. You are looking at two quadrillion dollars in derivatives in a global economy with $350 trillion in debt with an underlying $100 trillion annual GDP. The math does not work. I think silver, and I have said this for many years, silver will be the spark or the fuse that lights off gold, which then lights off the derivatives time bomb. Warren Buffett calls derivatives weapons of mass financial destruction.”Mr. Gold thinks, “When the system resets, governments will start a money print fest that will touch off global hyperinflation. . .. The ofpure math of debt outstanding is that it cannot be repaid in current terms. It will be hyperinflation the things we need and hyper-deflation of the things we already have. . .. How is somebody going to buy your house if the capital is not there? If the capital is not there, then the price is going to have to come down. . .. It is highly likely that silver will kick off the demise of the financial system.”
Mr. Gold thinks this kind of global debt will go bad fast. Holter warns, “When this thing cascades and collapses, you are either in place, or you are out of place. If you are out of place, you will not be able to repair your mistake. It will be a lifetime mistake to have not gotten ready. Let me just say there is a difference in being early and being wrong. In 2000 to 2005, if you were buying gold or you were buying silver, you were an idiot, a complete idiot, and people thought you walked around with a tin foil hat on. . .. Now, we are at the point where the best place to have invested your money since January 2000 would be in gold or silver. When Noah was running around building his ark, he looked wrong. He was not wrong–he was just early.”

US And Ecuadorian Forces Launch Joint Strikes On Narco-Terror Targets
Jack Cowhick
ContributorAmerican and Ecuadorian military forces launched joint strikes against narco-terror targets in Ecuador on Tuesday, U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced.
The joint operations target Designated Terrorist Organizations within the country, the U.S. announced in a press release. SOUTHCOM described the operations as a “powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean” to partner with the U.S. in combatting narco-terrorism. (RELATED: Trump Admin Takes Out 11 Designated Narco-Terrorists In ‘Lethal Kinetic Strikes’)
“Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere,” the press release stated. SOUTHCOM also posted the announcement on X, along with video of soldiers being deployed.
President Donald Trump designated several cartels as terrorist organizations on the first day of his second term in office, which the administration has used to justify military strikes in the Caribbean.
Marine Gen. Francis L. Donovan commended the Ecuadorian armed forces “for their unwavering commitment” to the fight against drug trafficking.
“We commend the men and women of the Ecuadorian armed forces for their unwavering commitment to this fight, demonstrating courage and resolve through continued actions against narco-terrorists in their country,” he stated.
The strikes come less than a week after Trump announced Operation Epic Fury in Iran, hitting nuclear and military targets alongside the Israeli military. Both operations are part of a series of recent U.S. military and law enforcement campaigns conducted with regional partners.

Millions left without power after major blackout hits Cuba's western region
A blackout has left millions of people without power in Havana and the rest of western Cuba in the latest outage on an island struggling with dwindling oil...
Author: Associated Press, MILEXSY DUR
ءN and DءNICA COTOPublished: 12:37 PM CST March 4, 2026
Updated: 7:11 AM CST March 5, 2026HAVANA(AP) — A blackout left millions of people without power in Havana and the rest of western Cuba on Wednesday in the latest outage on an island struggling with dwindling oil reserves and a crumbling electric grid.
Government radio station Radio Rebelde quoted an energy official as saying that it could take at least 72 hours to restore operations at one of Cuba's largest thermoelectric power plants, where a shutdown sparked the outage.
The government’s electric utility said on social platform X that the outage affected people from the western town of Pinar del Rio to the central town of Camaguey.
Energy and Mines Minister Vicente de la O Levy wrote on X late Wednesday that the government was powering critical infrastructure in the affected region as two power plants came online. Such infrastructure includes hospitals and medical clinics.
“We are working to restore the National Electric System amid a complex energy situation,” he wrote earlier on X.
The U.S. Embassy warned people to “prepare for significant disruptions” and conserve fuel, water, food and mobile phone batteries. “Cuba’s national power grid is increasingly unreliable, and scheduled and unscheduled power outages are prolonged and a daily occurrence across the country, including Havana,” it said on X.
‘We’ll have to eat bread again'
By late afternoon, the government said crews had restored power to 2.5% of Havana, or some 21,100 customers, noting that efforts were gradual and tied to what the system's conditions would allow. It did not provide updated numbers by late Wednesday night.
“We trust in the experience and effort of the electrical workers to overcome this situation in the shortest possible time,” Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz wrote on X.
As night fell, people across Havana lingered on doorsteps and used wood or charcoal to prepare “caldosas,” a popular soup shared among neighbors who contribute items including vegetables, chicken and meat. A group of musicians along the city's famed seawall played into the night.
Others played dominoes by a rechargeable lightbulb.
“With the power outages, this is the only thing we young people have to distract ourselves,” Jeferson Silvera said.
Daily, prolonged outages have become so common in Cuba that 66-year-old Genoveva Torres was waiting for power to return at night as usual to cook dinner. She was perturbed when told about the massive blackout.
“My God, until when?” she exclaimed. “Then we won't eat. We'll have to eat bread again.”
State media reported that the outage was caused by a shutdown of the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric power plant east of Havana following a leak in its boiler.
Radio Rebelde quoted the plant's technical director Rom
لn Pérez Castaٌeda as saying that crews must first locate the fault before repairing it and restarting the unit.Pérez Castaٌeda said that a pipe burst in the boiler, causing a water leak and subsequent fire that was extinguished without major damage, according to Radio Rebelde.
The outage caught 63-year-old Odalis S
لnchez out on the street with her grandson. She was unable to walk because of a recent operation, so she called someone for a ride home.Some 200 people waited at a bus stop near her, but buses were not running given a lack of fuel, so they tried to get a ride via any means available, including hitchhiking.
“I need to be able to get home to see what I can do,” S
لnchez said. “Without power, you can’t do anything. My grandson also is studying and I have to make him food. Public transportation isn’t helping.”‘We have to move forward’
It is the second such outage to affect western Cuba in three months.
The outage in early December lasted nearly 12 hours. Officials said a fault in a transmission line linking two power plants caused an overload and led to the collapse of the energy system's western sector.
Authorities have noted that some thermoelectric plants have been operating for over 30 years and receive little maintenance given the high cost. U.S. sanctions also have prevented the government from buying new equipment and specialized parts, officials say.
Cuba also is struggling with dwindling oil reserves after the U.S. attacked Venezuela in early January, which halted critical petroleum shipments from the South America country. Later that month, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on any country that would sell or supply Cuba with oil.
Ernesto Couto Mart
يnez, 76, was trying to find a ride home and said he would confront the latest outage “with the spirit that all Cubans have.”“We must keep fighting. There’s no other way,” he said. “We have to move forward, blockade or no blockade.”
Last month, Cuba’s government implemented austere fuel-saving measures and warned that jet fuel wouldn’t be available at nine airports until mid-March.
Prior to the attack on Venezuela, the island already was struggling with a crumbling electric grid, generation deficits and interruptions in fuel supplies.
Coto reported from San José, Costa Rica.

Trump Says US Decapitated Iranian Leadership As They Ate Breakfast
Harold Hutchison Media Reporter
President Donald Trump said Monday the initial strikes targeting Iran killed dozens of Iranian leaders during a breakfast meeting with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Trump confirmed Khamenei’s death in a post on Truth Social Saturday, hours after he announced the commencement of Operation Epic Fury early that morning. “Special Report” host Bret Baier told “America’s Newsroom” co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino that Trump was “pleased” with the progress of Operation Epic Fury. (RELATED: Trump Confirms Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Is Dead)
“I said this is, it’s a tough succession plan in Iran. He said 49 L is deep, it’s very deep. When they met, they met for breakfast. They assumed it was good for a lot of reasons,” Baier said. “’Number one, they didn’t think we knew, but you never attack in the morning, having to do with winds and sun and a lot of things. It just, it was amazing that we knew everything we knew,’ he said there is a plan.”
On Monday, CENTCOM reported that a fourth American servicemember had died from wounds suffered in the initial Iranian attacks. (RELATED: ‘That’s The Way It Is’: Trump Concedes More Americans Will Likely Die In Iran Conflict)
WATCH:
“I asked, ‘so what you’re saying is that you know there is somebody on the ground in Iran that is going to rise up,’ Quote, ‘Yes, I feel there is, feel that, and some of them are no longer with us, to be honest, because it was 49 leaders that were taken out. That was going to take four weeks,’” Baier continued. “’We thought to get rid of the Iranian leadership, and it’s always, you know, if they hide, it’s a lot longer than four weeks, and they would have been hiding. We were shocked when we heard what was going on. We knew exactly what was happening and where 49 leaders, and you know they’re talking about using people now that nobody ever heard of, even though they don’t know. They’re using people, studying people to be the leader that even they don’t know who they are. Can they? Can you believe that?’”
“He points to Venezuela as a template, which means to me that going in they had some sense on the ground of what was coming next,” Baier added.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said during a Monday Pentagon briefing that the Trump administration would not rule out putting U.S. troops on the ground in Iran.

Iran's drones cost $35k to make... but $4m to shoot down: How Tehran can keep launching attacks indefinitely but Western missile supplies are weeks from running out
Get your news delivered straight to you by 7am - sign up to our new Morning Mail newsletter for FREE
By ELIANA SILVER, SENIOR FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Published: 06:50 EST, 2 March 2026 | Updated: 09:48 EST, 2 March 2026
Iran's retaliatory campaign has exposed a growing imbalance between the production of drones and the exorbitant cost to shoot them down.
A single Iranian drone can cost as little as $35,000 to produce, while intercepting it can cost anywhere from $500,000 to $4 million.
This issue has come into focus during the latest escalation, known as Operation Epic Fury, with Iran launching attacks at Israel and at US and allied bases in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
By spreading strikes across more than five theatres at once and sustaining over 2,500 drones per day, Tehran is forcing its adversaries to divide their defences.
Every interceptor deployed to protect one base is one that cannot be used elsewhere, since interceptors are finite.
This leads military planners to stretch their resources across thousands of kilometres, leaving weaker protections in each location.
Iran's advantage lies in scale, according to data gathered from open source intelligence and defence analysts.
Rather than a few thousand long range drones, its total Shahed fleet is estimated at between 80,000 and 100,000 across all variants.
Combined with an ongoing production rate of around 500 a month, if used at full capacity, those numbers could translate into waves of more than 2,500 drones a day for a month.
Western officials and analysts warn that interceptor stockpiles would struggle to keep up with that pace, adding that the strain is already showing.
Last year's fighting in June 2025 saw inventories severely depleted.
During the conflict last summer, The US alone fired around 150 THAAD interceptors to defend Israel over just 12 days, using roughly a quarter of its stockpile.
Each of those interceptors costs about $15 million and can take three to eight years to replenish.
Now, the same systems are being relied on across multiple countries at once as the intensity of Iranian attacks continue.
Interceptors aren't the only munitions in short supply, with the US expanding sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles (TLAMs) and aircraft launched weapons.
And with US President Donald Trump saying the war could go on for the next four weeks, dangerously low stocks can prove to be a problem.
Yesterday, the President told the Daily Mail: 'It's always been a four-week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so. It's always been about a four-week process so - as strong as it is, it's a big country, it'll take four weeks - or less.'
Speaking to Bloomberg, Kelly Grieco, a senior fellow at the Stimson Center, said: 'Missile interceptors are a big concern, particularly anti ballistic interceptors. We are using these interceptors faster than we can make them.'
The way these systems are used adds another layer of pressure, as they require several interceptors.
Standard military practice is to fire two or even three interceptors at a single incoming target to increase the chances of a successful hit. That means even a relatively small wave of drones or missiles can quickly drain supplies.
William Alberque of the Pacific Forum said that 'magazine capacity was already low' after last year's fighting. If the current pace continues, officials fear stocks could run dangerously low within days.
In April 2024, a coordinated defence effort managed to intercept 99% of incoming threats. However, that attack was slower and more predictable and involved a smaller number of weapons.
Meanwhile, this week's attacks are faster, less predictable, and span a broader area, making that level of success far harder to repeat.
Using that data alongside the the current exchange rates between cheap drones and expensive interceptors, a prolonged campaign could run into tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars.
However, cheaper solutions are also being considered, with one option being the use of APKWS guided rockets, which only cost about $28,000 per shot.
They have shown strong results in testing with a 100% hit rate and now account for a significant share of drone interceptions in the region, with thousands already deployed.
Another is Israel's Iron Beam laser system, which can destroy targets for just a few dollars per shot.
However only 1-2 of these systems are operational and all are based in Israel, leaving other parts of the region without access.
At the same time, Israel is also low on Arrow 3 air-defense interceptors and air-launched ballistic missiles, which were used to take out Iranian missile launchers in 2025 and attack Hamas leaders in Qatar, according to a US official
Eyal Pinko, a former Israeli naval commander, said the key question is which side will manage to outlast the other.
He said: 'A lot more attacks are coming.'
'They have thousands of missiles and drones, huge stocks. They will do everything to maintain the regime. This is now an all out war for their survival.'
This comes as Iran vowed it will never surrender as it rejected an ultimatum from Donald Trump to lay down its weapons.
Trump told Iran's leaders to give up the fight which has exploded across the Middle East, with missiles raining down on the region.
A total of 555 people have been killed across Iran since the start of the strikes that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior leaders, the Iranian Red Crescent said Monday.
Israel's rescue services said nine people were killed and 28 wounded in a strike that hit a synagogue in the central town of Beit Shemesh, bringing the overall death toll in the country to 11. Another 11 people were still missing after the strike, police said.
'These intolerable threats will not continue any longer. I once again urge the Revolutionary Guard, the Iranian military police, to lay down your arms and receive full immunity or face certain death,' Trump said.
He urged the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow the Islamic regime. 'Be brave, be bold, be heroic and take back your country,' he said.
'We're undertaking this massive operation not merely to ensure security for our own time and place, but for our children and their children, just as our ancestors have done for us many, many years ago,' the President said.
But Iranian national security official Ali Larijani confirmed the country will not negotiate with the US.
Donald Trump said the US-Israeli war with Iran could go on for the next four weeks, revealing that the US and Israel's attacks have taken out so many Iranian leaders that the succession line may lead to a surprise new leader.
'The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,' Trump told ABC. 'It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead.'
On Monday, loud explosions were heard across the Gulf cities of Dubai, Doha and Manama on Monday as Tehran pressed into a third day of strikes against Gulf neighbours.
Saudi Arabia was also targeted, intercepting two drones that were launched during an attempted attack on an oil refinery in Ras Tanura.
The Saudi defence ministry has confirmed two missiles were intercepted and destroyed at the plant in Eastern Province along the country's east coast.
According to Al Jazeera, the site has now been temporarily closed.
Iran's army has confirmed it targeted the American Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait as well as vessels in the Indian ocean in retaliation of US and Israeli strikes.
'Missile units of the army's ground and naval forces operating from various locations targeted the US Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait as well as enemy vessels in the northern Indian Ocean over the past hours,' the army said in a statement.
It added that '15 cruise missiles' were used in the attacks.
Several American warplanes crashed in Kuwait earlier today but their crew survived, Kuwait's defence ministry said.

When Barack Obama Told Americans We Are a Muslim Nation
By M Dowling -
March 2, 2026
Former President Barack Obama furthered radical Islam in the United States. It was Barack Obama who ended investigations of Hezbollah crime syndicates in the US despite the ATF warning of the dangers. When the Holy Land Foundation was caught raising funds for terror, he ended the probe. It was Obama and his acolytes who forbade probes into and surveillance of radical mosques.
The former president legitimized the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, and other radical organizations.
He promoted the idea that Islam was peace and peace alone.
Obama ended the FBI and CIA training in radical Islam. He canceled the counterterrorism training and replaced it with the Muslim Brotherhood representatives to train the FBI about Islamophobia, which is still happening today.

Naval base 'on lockdown' as intruder arrives by BOAT
Get your news delivered straight to you by 7am - sign up to our new Morning Mail newsletter for FREE
By ROSS IBBETSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Published: 11:24 EST, 2 March 2026 | Updated: 13:02 EST, 2 March 2026
A US Naval base in Florida has reportedly been placed on lockdown after an intruder arrived by boat.
Naval Air Station Pensacola (NAS) closed its gates to the public after a man ran onto the base after beaching his vessel nearby, according to police dispatch audio.
Residents who live near the base - home of the Navy's Blue Angels - reported hearing alerts on speakers, including: 'Potential threat to the installation.'
NAS Pensacola said: 'Both gates to the base are currently closed. Additionally, gates to NAS Pensacola's Corry Station Annex are closed.'
The base declined to provide further details, but locals claimed on social media that it is under lockdown.
It comes amid heightened terror fears after the US launched its war in Iran on Saturday.
A gunman shot dead two people at a packed bar in Austin, Texas, and wounded more than a dozen in the early hours of Sunday.
The Muslim attacker, originally from Senegal, was wearing an Iran flag T-shirt and a hoodie that said 'Property of Allah.'
An FBI official on Saturday said its counterterrorism and counterintelligence teams are on elevated alert across the country.
Iran uses a network of proxy militant groups around the globe to carry out violent attacks against Western countries.
The FBI did not say how long the terror alert will remain in effect.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirsti Noem said her department was working with law enforcement partners to 'thwart any potential threats to the homeland.'
Trump told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview on Sunday that the war with Iran is set to last weeks.
'It's always been a four-week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so. It's always been about a four-week process so - as strong as it is, it's a big country, it'll take four weeks - or less,' the President explained.

Iranian Drones Strike EU Country In War First
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
The Iran war has just for the first time, and rather quickly given it's only the third day of the conflict, expanded to include an EU nation in the Mediterranean. Iranian-made drones have reached Cyprus and at least one has made ground impact. But they may have been launched from nearby Lebanon.
The British Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Akrotiri, Cyprus came under attack Monday morning, with an Iranian drone striking the runway in the early hours, several reports say. This comes as Britain has mulled directly joining Trump's Iran operation, but now appears to be pulling back from the prospect.
General view of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, via PA/The Independent
"Our force protection in the region is at the highest level and the base has responded to defend our people," a British Ministry of Defence spokesperson has told international media.
Hours after the initial salvo, two more unmanned aerial vehicles were successfully intercepted while inbound over the same base. "Our armed forces are responding to a suspected drone strike at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus at midnight local time," the MoD statement continued. "Our force protection in the region is at the highest level and the base has responded to defend our people."
The RAF is now taking emergency precaution measures is at least partially evacuating the base after a prior build-up:
The attacks on Akrotiri, a British sovereign base area, comes after the RAF recently moved additional defensive capabilities to the location—including radar systems, anti-drone defenses, and F-35 jets—as part of ongoing efforts to support stability in the Middle East.
Showcasing the widening impact of the Iran conflict, an airport in Paphos, Cyprus, was later evacuated after a suspect object was picked up on radars.
Cooper spoke of the “international” threat Monday morning and expressed the importance of recognizing “the responsibilities we have around defensive support for areas where there are British citizens."
Cooper further said that in private conversations with officials throughout the Gulf region, the leaders expressed they were "frankly shocked and horrified at the way their countries have been targeted by Iran over the weekend."
Family members of UK military members have been ordered to leave the base as it is now clearly being targeted:
Family members of British military personnel have been asked leave to leave the base for their own safety, and will be based elsewhere in Cyprus until the alert passes.
The drone struck hours after the UK agreed to let the US use British military bases to attack Iranian missile sites, but officials indicate the possible flight times mean it was launched before the prime minister announced the new policy.
Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides has stated that "All the competent services of the republic are on alert and in full operational readiness." He also clarified his country has nothing to do with the war.

— World War Now (@WorldWarNow_) March 1, 2026
"I want to be clear: Our country does not participate in any way and does not intend to be part of any military operation," the Cyprus president added.
There's growing concern that the drones could have been sent from Iran's proxy arm in Lebanon: Hezbollah. Israel has just renewed its bombing of Beirut and other parts of Lebanon after the Shia paramilitary group (or possibly another group) fired rockets on northern Israel.
Lebanon is only a short, hours-long boat ride away from Cyprus. Israel is also not very distant. The British military has two sovereign military bases which it has maintained on Cyprus since the independence of its former colony in 1960.

IRGC - Americans Will No Longer Be Safe; Not Even in their own homes
Hal Turner World March 02, 2026 Hits: 14267
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warn the US will ‘no longer be safe.’
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Monday that the United States “will no longer be safe”, on the third day of joint US-Israeli attacks against the Islamic republic.
“The enemy should know that their happy days are over and they will no longer be safe anywhere in the world, not even in their own homes,” the Guards’ Quds force, which oversees its foreign operations, said in a statement carried by state TV.
To the US and Israel, the IRGC is publicly saying:
"Do not sleep tonight. Tonight, you will become familiar with the newest weapons. Even shelters are no longer safe."
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, which oversees Iran’s overseas military operations, said on Monday that “enemies” who killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will not “have security anywhere in the world, even inside their own homes.”
“We declare to the Islamic nation and the freedom-seekers of the world that we will not cease fighting until the destruction of global arrogance and international Zionism, and we will take revenge for the oppressed of the world and the great martyrs from the oppressors and the arrogant,” the force added in a statement carried by state media.

Huge snowstorm in the Northeast forces millions to stay home, disrupts flights and closes schools
By ANTHONY IZAGUIRRE, CLAIRE RUSH, JULIE WALKER and ADAM GELLER
NEW YORK (AP) — A massive snowstorm pummeled the northeastern United States from Maryland to Maine on Monday, forcing millions of people to stay home amid strong wind and blizzard warnings, transportation shutdowns, and school and business closures.
Meteorologists said the storm is the strongest in a decade, dumping more than 2 feet (60 centimeters) of snow in parts of the metropolitan Northeast, shattering accumulation records in places, immobilizing transit and even leading the United Nations to postpone a Security Council meeting. Officials declared emergencies, schools closed, including in New York City, which had its first “old-school” snow day in six years, and people grappled with power failures.
Even as the snow moved northward and tapered off in other areas, the National Weather Service said it is tracking another storm that could bring more snow to the region later this week.
The weather service referred to Monday’s storm as a “classic bomb cyclone/nor’easter off the Northeast coast.” A bomb cyclone happens when a storm’s pressure falls by a certain amount within a 24-hour period, occurring mainly in the fall and winter when frigid Arctic air can reach the south and clash with warmer temperatures.
While it was paralyzing and potentially dangerous for millions along the Eastern Seaboard, meteorologists found themselves rhapsodizing over the combination of power and beauty.
The storm hit the “Goldilocks situation” of just the right temperature for wet, heavy snow: Any warmer and its precipitation wouldn’t have fallen as snow, any colder and there wouldn’t have been as much moisture in the air to feed that snowfall, said Owen Shieh, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center in Maryland.
People begin digging out even as snowfall continues
In Lower Manhattan, snow shovelers appeared to outnumber commuting office workers, and pedestrians walked freely in streets normally blocked by morning traffic.
“It’s very quiet, except for the howling winds,” said Luis Valez, a concierge at a residential tower just off Wall Street, as he cleared the sidewalk. “A couple of residents have gone out to get their essentials. Other than that, there’s nothing.”
Matthew Wojtkowiak, 57, an attorney, was also shoveling in his Brooklyn neighborhood.
“I’m from the Midwest, so this is in the zone,” he said. “Not too bad, not too easy, either.”
Schools were closed, and he said he hoped people would get out and enjoy the snow.
“We have sleds at the ready,” he said.
Karen Smith and Adele Bawden are tourists visiting New York from the United Kingdom.
“We’ve been dancing in Times Square this morning in the middle of the road in rush hour,” Bawden said. “We’ve just been dancing and not believing we could do it.”
Ingrid Devita said she liked to patrol the Lower East Side on skis, checking on people who might need help.
“I find people fall in the snow and they can’t get up,” she said.
Central Park in New York City recorded 19 inches (48 centimeters) of snow. Warwick, Rhode Island, exceeded 3 feet (91 centimeters), topping the nation so far. The highest wind gust of 83 mph (133 kph) was recorded in Nantucket, with hurricane-force gusts seen all over Cape Cod.
In Connecticut, crews at the Mystic Seaport Museum prepared to clear snow from a fleet of historic ships, including the 113-foot-long Charles W. Morgan, a wooden whaling ship from the 19th century American merchant fleet.
Shannon McKenzie, vice president of watercraft operations and preservation, said shipyard staff will clear the snow by hand using rubber or plastic shovels because machinery or metal shovels could damage the boats.
Storm fuels power outages and disrupts flights
New York, Philadelphia and other cities, as well as several states, declared emergencies.
More than 5,600 flights in and out of the United States were canceled Monday, and a further 2,000 flights scheduled for Tuesday were grounded, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware. Most of the cancelations involved airports in New York, New Jersey and Boston. Almost 2,500 flights were delayed.
Rhode Island’s T.F. Green International Airport announced Monday that it was temporarily ending all airport operations. The Weather Service reported that the facility got nearly 38 inches (96.5 centimeters) of snow, breaking a record set in 1978.
Public transit ground to a halt in some areas, while DoorDash suspended deliveries in New York City overnight into Monday.
Meteorologists said strong winds and heavy, wet snow are a recipe for damaged trees and prolonged power outages.
More than 450,000 utility customers nationwide remained in darkness Monday evening, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks outages nationwide.

Chasing the apocalypse: Radical Shiite clerics on American soil preach prophetic showdown with US
Fox News Digital investigation shows hardline Shiite ideologues framing conflict between US, Iran as prophecy for the arrival of the Mahdi, or 'messiah'
Asra Q. Nomani By Asra Q. Nomani Fox News
Published March 2, 2026 7:00am EST
MANASSAS, Va. – FIRST ON FOX: For many, the war with Iran — and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — might seem like the climactic end to a long, brutal reign of terror by the theological clerics who have run the country since 1979.
But a Fox News Digital investigation reveals that, for certain hardline Shiite ideologues, including in the U.S., this is not an ending but a prophetic showdown that will usher in the arrival of the "Mahdi," a messiah, according to Islamic eschatology, or the theology of end times.
In this prophecy, Mahdi will emerge to battle Dajjal, the Islamic equivalent of the Antichrist, in a final battle of Armageddon. For many of these ideologues, President Donald Trump is Dajjal.
At a recent Friday sermon at a local Shiite mosque in northern Virginia, an imam closed prayer with an earnest plea, before war broke out in Iran: "May Allah destroy all the nonbelievers – or kafiroon or munafiqoon," he said, using Arabic words that refer to "nonbelievers" and "hypocrites."
He asked for this victory "before the arrival of Imam Mahdi."
Fox News Digital observed the sermon and also witnessed a special table of honor in the middle of the mosque’s main prayer hall, featuring framed photos of Khamenei embracing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrullah, also killed by Israel for orchestrating terrorist attacks.
The Friday service at the Manassas Mosque reveals a theological dynamic that Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned about in early February, noting that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s leaders are guided not merely by geopolitics and national security considerations, but by "pure theology."
"We have to understand that Iran ultimately is governed, and its decisions are governed by Shiite clerics — radical Shiite clerics — who make policy decisions on the basis of pure theology," Rubio said.
In its investigation, Fox News Digital conducted a digital analysis of hours of sermons and scores of pages of pro-regime protest slogans, messaging and social media posts, using large-language models, and found clerics, community leaders and media platforms in the U.S. framing tensions with Iran in explicitly apocalyptic terms rooted in eschatology, or Islamist end-times theology.
The investigation found that precepts shaping Tehran’s worldview, from its clerics to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, are also being preached on American soil by proxies for Iran’s propaganda.
From the mosque in northern Virginia to religious institutions in Michigan and Texas, clerics aligned with the Islamic Republic are advancing a doomsday interpretation of faith that casts geopolitical and military confrontation with the U.S. as part of a prophetic destiny tied to the return of the Mahdi.
After war broke out Friday night, Fox News Digital witnessed pro-regime chats on messaging platforms, like Telegram, filled with prayers, awaiting "the arrival" of Mahdi.
"We need Al Mahdi…His return with Jesus will be the final win permanently," one read.
"The saviour the warrior the dominator ‘ imam mahdi ’ [sic] will arrive," read another.
Last summer, the Manassas Mosque co-organized a White House protest with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition, CodePink and other far-left groups to support the Iranian regime. The groups are now again protesting Trump’s military action against Iran.
One demonstrator, wearing a black-and-white Palestinian keffiyeh scarf over her face, carried a flag last summer that read "Labayk ya Mahdi" in Arabic, meaning, "At your service, oh, Mahdi."
In Farsi, Arabic and English, the flag also had the message, "I dedicate every single of my steps to your reappearance."
Pro-regime mosques, K-12 schools and local community organizations in the U.S. are "producing messaging that mirrors Tehran’s talking points almost word for word," warned Andrew Ghalili, policy director at the National Union for Democracy in Iran, an advocacy group led by Iranian Americans who oppose the theocratic regime running Iran.
In an upcoming report, "The Ayatollahs’ Influence Network in the United States," reviewed by Fox News Digital, the group's researchers conclude the Islamic Republic of Iran spreads "Tehran's messaging" in a network of institutions it supports in the U.S., for example, pitting Trump as the Dajjal fighting defenders of the Mahdi, like Khamenei and now his successors.
"What we're seeing is years of deliberate investment by the Islamic Republic inside the United States," Ghalili told Fox News Digital.
"This is happening on American soil, and it's just another way in which the regime poses a direct threat to the United States, this time not with missiles but through infiltration," he said.
A gunman just killed three in Austin, Texas, wearing a sweater that said, "PROPERTY OF ALLAH." According to media reports, law enforcement officials found the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran and photos of its leaders in his home.
After the recent Friday service, two community leaders at the Manassas mosque declined to speak for attribution but told Fox News Digital that the rhetoric of destroying "nonbelievers" and the photos of Khamenei and the terrorist group leaders are meant to challenge "injustice" before the Mahdi appears.
A Harvard University report on "The Hidden Imam and the End of Time" recognizes the world’s two billion Muslims hold a range of beliefs regarding eschatology and many reject strict or literal interpretations.
In the majority Sunni sect and the minority Shiite sect of Islam, clerics describe the Mahdi’s army traveling from modern-day Iran to Damascus, Syria, where Jesus would appear at the Umayyad Mosque and pray behind the Mahdi. The Mahdi’s forces would battle Dajjal in Syria and kill him in Lod, Israel, conquering the world.
Days ago, Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency repeated the end-times narrative, quoting Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, claiming the regime is the "government of Imam Mahdi" and its anti-U.S. "resistance is the path to hastening his reappearance."
For women’s rights activist Sara Ghorbani, a writer who fled Iran’s rigid theocratic rule in 2010, the regime's death grip on power is disturbing.
"We’re fighting an evil that the world doesn’t truly comprehend in its belief that it has a divine mandate to usher in a day of apocalypse," Ghorbani told Fox News Digital.
"Our brave people in Iran are fighting a tyranny that believes it is God’s salvation for this earth when, in fact, it is a cruel and ungodly regime that is actually their own prophecy of Dajjal," added Ghorbani, who created a short video of children the Iranian regime allegedly killed in recent weeks.
In Dearborn, Michigan, Usama Abdulghani, imam at the Hadi Institute, recently posted a controversial video on a YouTube channel for "Light of Guidance," which says on its YouTube page that its content isn’t connected to any other organization.
Before war broke out, he warned congregants that "the empire is now right outside the door" of Iran, in the form of U.S. forces. The Hadi Institute and the Light of Guidance didn’t respond to requests for comment about the cleric’s statements.
In another lecture, he reassured congregants, "Iran has been waiting for the mother of all battles for 47 years," since 1979. He said Americans shouldn’t fight "for this empire."
He urged congregants to engage in a "clarification jihad" and convert Americans to Islam "before Imam Mahdi returns."
In its report, the National Union for Democracy in Iran alleges that the Hadi Institute is a "rhetorically aggressive node in the pro-Iran ecosystem." It has a publishing enterprise that says on its website that its staff "deliver an unfiltered message in promoting an Islamic worldview in preparation of the Mahdi." The Hadi Institute and its publishing initiative didn’t respond to questions about the criticisms about its work.
It alleges anti-U.S. propaganda, like the doomsday scenario, is often expressed at venues supported by a pro-regime New York-based 501(c)(3) organization, the Alavi Foundation, which it alleges has built "durable, institution-based influence networks operating inside the United States through religious, educational and nonprofit structures."
In its latest IRS Form 990 filing, the Alavi Foundation, headquartered on Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, reported $58 million in assets. The Alavi Foundation didn’t respond to a request for comment about the allegations that it promotes propaganda that supports the regime in Iran.
At one point, Abdulghani reassured his congregation that Iran would defeat U.S. forces, saying, "Iran has something for these guys. Don’t be worried about Iran. Iran has been waiting for the mother of all battles for 47 years. They’ve been waiting for this. Iran is prepared. Don’t worry about that. Iran’s going to be able to handle its business."
In a new report, researchers at the National Contagion Research Institute, based in Princeton, N.J., analyzed regime narratives alleging the CIA and Israel's Mossad spy agency, fomented January’s protests against the regime, an allegation that Abdulghani repeated. They found "decentralized influence networks," including in the U.S., "operationalize and amplify" pro-regime narratives.
The pro-regime messaging even invokes the end-times narrative to children. In late December, the "Muslim Student Association Persian-Speaking Group of North America" shared a video showing children coloring paper masks, swords and shields labeled "Ya Mahdi, Labayk," or "Oh Mahdi, come." The children staged mock attacks with their paper weapons amid Legos and glitter.
A few years ago, a video from the Islamic Education Center of Houston went viral in Iran, featuring students saying they would be soldiers for Imam Mahdi, singing, "I make an oath to be your martyr." The center didn't respond to requests for comment, but an academic told the local media the video was metaphorical allegiance to a religious figure.
The messianic messaging also extends to pro-regime media platforms. Earlier this month, a media website, TMJ News Network, published an article headlined, "The Promise of Justice Amid Corruption," featuring an image of convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein alongside a green-cloaked silhouette and images of other figures referenced in documents released by the Justice Department. Only Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell has been implicated in illegal conduct in connection with the Epstein case.
The article stated that "against this backdrop, the Mahdist movement represents a promise of justice."
On the anniversary of the 1979 Revolution, the pro-regime Light of Guidance hosted an assistant imam, Hassan Salamey, who invoked "the Epstein list" to denounce "the Satanic" West.
"The Islamic Republic is the system that is working to prepare the grounds for the saviors who will come side by side: Jesus, the son of Mary, and the Mahdi from the final prophet's line," he said. "This is the transitional government that will lead the fight to save us all."
Back at the Manassas Mosque in northern Virginia, congregation members closed their prayers seeking to "destroy all the nonbelievers," the portraits of Khamenei, Sinwar and Nasrullah over their shoulders.

A democratic Iran could become Israel's ally, regional power
While Israel would prefer to see the regime in Tehran collapse, Middle Eastern states are hoping for the exact opposite. The reason? A civil war in Iran could trigger refugee waves and disrupt key shipping lanes. Yet, if the regime falls, a pro Western government could emerge as a regional power.

Governments across the Middle East are watching developments in Iran with mounting unease. The threat of a regional war is not the only issue, nor is the Iranian regime's threats to attack US sites and forces.
Two main scenarios worry the Arab states. The first is large scale chaos and civil war inside Iran, with spillover effects across the region. Such instability could trigger waves of refugees and disrupt shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf, a vital artery for Gulf economies.
The second scenario, seen by Israel the as optimistic one, is the rapid collapse of the Islamic Republic and the rise of a pro Western government in Tehran. Over time, that could transform Iran into a rising regional power.
"In the end, Arab states want the Islamic Republic to remain," an Iranian exile told Israel Hayom. "They fear a free Iran in the future, because they know that a free and democratic Iran would become Israel's first ally in the Middle East. Their double game or the Muslim Brotherhood project would no longer have buyers."
The exile argued that the regime's threats should be put in proportion. "The Islamic Republic's ultimate power lies in threats. These are empty threats of disrupting regional order for days and harming the economy and livelihoods of billions. That is why any blow to the Islamic Republic must be severe and effective, until it falls. Otherwise the regime will become bolder and more dangerous than before."
Against this backdrop, the strategy of most Arab states becomes clearer: embrace the regime diplomatically, while assisting mediation efforts with the US.
Egypt
The head of Iran's Interests Section in Cairo, Mojtaba Ferdowsi-Pour, issued a dramatic statement Friday announcing that a final decision had been made to exchange ambassadors between Iran and Egypt, with only a formal declaration pending. If implemented, the move would fully restore relations severed after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Although lower level diplomatic channels have existed over the years, the announcement signals warming ties from the Egyptian side, which seeks to distance itself from a regional confrontation. The previous regional flare up following the war against the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza led to disruptions in the Suez Canal and heavy financial losses for Egypt. Cairo has no interest in renewed Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
Qatar
The Gulf emirate, which hosts terrorist organizations, has much to lose from a war with Iran. The Al Udeid Air Base on its territory hosts thousands of US troops. Instability in the Persian Gulf could also damage its economy, which relies heavily on gas exports shipped by sea.
Qatar is therefore operating on two tracks. Diplomatically, it is passing messages between Iran and the US in an effort to preserve negotiations aimed at preventing war. Over the weekend, Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani conveyed a message to his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi that talks were "still ongoing."
Militarily, Qatar is relying on US defense systems being deployed to the region, in addition to American made systems it already possesses.
Saudi Arabia
The kingdom is increasing coordination with Iran in hopes of preventing an attack on US forces stationed on Saudi soil. On the sidelines of an international naval exercise in India, Milan 2026, a trilateral meeting was reportedly held between senior naval officials from Saudi Arabia and Iran. Discussions focused on improving maritime cooperation, including combating piracy, securing shipping lanes and crisis management.
This follows talks several weeks ago between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The crown prince reportedly delivered conciliatory messages and pledged that he "would not allow any action from his territory."
Oman
The sultanate has emerged as the most significant Gulf mediator between Iran and the US. After the latest round of talks in Geneva, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said progress had been made and that the atmosphere was constructive. Still, it remains unclear whether Oman will succeed this time.
Diplomatic sources aligned with Iran said the US side raised the issues of ballistic missiles and regional involvement, while the Iranian delegation insisted on focusing solely on the nuclear file. According to a report in Al Akhbar, US envoy Steve Witkoff warned the Iranians that such insistence "would not be to their benefit."
United Arab Emirates
Officials in Abu Dhabi, like others in the region, have made clear they will not allow any attack on Iran to be launched from their territory, possibly in the hope that the regime in the Islamic Republic will limit its response. There is also concern about the economic impact of a regional conflict on the federation.
According to Reuters, stock markets in the UAE already fell Friday after investors reacted to a US ultimatum demanding that Iran reach an agreement within days or "suffer." At the same time, Emirati commentators argue that Tehran has lost most of its leverage and is at a dead end.
Kuwait
The emirate has also expressed concern. Earlier this month, senior Kuwaiti politician Abdullah al-Nafisi questioned why negotiations between Iran and the US could not be direct. "Wouldn't that be faster and avoid the tensions associated with indirect talks?" he asked. On another occasion, he predicted the talks would fail because President Donald Trump views the Iranian issue as the only solution to his "domestic problems."
Iraq
Amid the regional turmoil, Baghdad appears mired in political gridlock. The pro Iranian Shiite bloc had intended to nominate Nouri al-Maliki for prime minister. However, the US and various Iraqi actors quickly voiced opposition to a candidate seen as close to Tehran. As a result, alternative, less controversial names are now reportedly under consideration.
A US strike on Iran could plunge Iraq into chaos due to Shiite militias loyal to the Iranian regime. However, in January 2026 the US completed its withdrawal from its last major base in Iraq, Ain al-Asad. That development narrows the range of potential targets available to Tehran.

Iran retaliates after EU blacklists IRGC
Iran designates EU member states’ navies and air forces as terrorist organizations in response to the EU’s decision to blacklist the IRGC.

Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)Reuters/West Asia News Agency
Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced on Saturday that it has designated the navies and air forces of all European Union (EU) member states as terrorist organizations, the Xinhua news agency reported.
The move was described as a response to the EU’s recent decision to label Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization, which Tehran called “unlawful and unjustified."
In a statement, the ministry said the EU decision is “in contradiction with the fundamental principles and rules of the United Nations Charter and international law."
The statement added that the Iranian government acted in accordance with a 2019 law, under which “all those countries that in any way comply with or support the US decision to declare the IRGC a terrorist organization will be subject to reciprocal action."
Iran’s move came three days after the Council of the EU formally added the IRGC to the bloc’s terrorist list, following a political agreement reached by EU foreign ministers last month.
The agreement was made possible after France said it would support the move, withdrawing its longstanding opposition to it.

EU designates Iran’s IRGC as a terrorist organization
The designation triggers restrictive measures under the EU counterterrorism sanctions regime, including the freezing of the group’s funds and other financial assets or economic resources within EU member states.
Tehran was outraged by the EU’s late January announcement that it would classify the IRGC as a terrorist organization and summoned all EU ambassadors in the country.

Afghans mourn villagers killed in Pakistani strikes

Residents in Afghanistan's Bihsud district dug a mass grave for those killed in the Pakistani strikes (-)
(-/AFP/AFP)
Afghans gathered around a mass grave Sunday to bury villagers killed in overnight air strikes by Pakistan, which said its military targeted militants.
The overnight attacks killed at least 18 people and were the most extensive since border clashes in October, which left more than 70 dead on both sides and wounded hundreds.
"The house was completely destroyed. My children and family members were there. My father and my sons were there. All of them were killed," said Nezakat, a 35-year-old farmer in Bihsud district, who only gave one name.
Islamabad said it hit seven sites along the border region targeting Afghanistan-based militant groups, in response to suicide bombings in Pakistan.
The military targeted the Pakistani Taliban and its associates, as well as an affiliate of the Islamic State group, a statement by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said.
Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said "people's homes have been destroyed, they have targeted civilians, they have committed this criminal act" with the bombardment of Nangarhar and Paktika provinces.
Residents from around the remote Bihsud district in Nangarhar joined searchers to look for bodies under the rubble, an AFP journalist said, using shovels and a digger.
"People here are ordinary people. The residents of this village are our relatives. When the bombing happened, one person who survived was shouting for help," said neighbour Amin Gul Amin, 37.
Nangarhar police told AFP the bombardment started at around midnight and hit three districts, with those killed all in a civilian's house.
"Twenty-three members of his family were buried under the rubble, of whom 18 were killed and five wounded," said police spokesperson Sayed Tayeeb Hammad.
Strikes elsewhere in Nangarhar wounded two others, while in Paktika an AFP journalist saw a destroyed guesthouse but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
- 'Calculated response' -
Afghanistan's defence ministry said it will "deliver an appropriate and calculated response" to the Pakistani strikes.
The two countries have been locked in an increasingly bitter dispute since the Taliban authorities retook control of Afghanistan in 2021.
Pakistani military action killed 70 Afghan civilians between October and December, according to the UN mission in Afghanistan.
Several rounds of negotiations followed an initial ceasefire brokered by Qatar and Turkey, but they have failed to produce a lasting agreement.
Saudi Arabia intervened this month, mediating the release of three Pakistani soldiers captured by Afghanistan in October.
The deteriorating relationship has hit people in both countries, with the land border largely shut for months.
Pakistan said Sunday that despite repeated urging by Islamabad, the Taliban authorities have failed to act against militant groups using Afghan territory to carry out attacks in Pakistan.
The Afghan government has denied harbouring militants.
Islamabad launched the strikes after a suicide blast at a Shiite mosque in Islamabad two weeks ago and other such attacks more recently in northwestern Pakistan.
The Islamic State group had claimed responsibility for the mosque bombing, which killed at least 40 people and wounded more than 160 in the deadliest attack in Islamabad since 2008.
The militant group's regional chapter, Islamic State-Khorasan, also claimed a deadly suicide bombing at a Kabul restaurant last month.

China Biowarfare Lab Found in US Neighborhood
By Gary Lane February 17, 2026
Late last month, U.S. authorities discovered a Chinese-linked biolab in a quiet American neighborhood. They seized over 1,000 suspicious biological agents from a home in Las Vegas. Experts are warning: covert labs like this could lead to biological warfare, right in our own backyards.
SUBSCRIBE to CBN’s Morning Podcast, Quick Start:
On January 31, SWAT teams and hazmat crews swarmed a Las Vegas home. What they found was shocking: a secret biological lab hidden in a garage, right in the middle of a neighborhood.
The lab was tied to the same Chinese national who was arrested back in 2023 for operating an illegal biolab in Reedley, California. That’s where authorities discovered deadly pathogens—Ebola, HIV, tuberculosis, malaria—and even genetically modified mice.
BlackOps Partners CEO and counterintelligence expert Casey Fleming said these two labs are just the beginning of something much more dangerous. He believes Chinese biowarfare is no longer some far-off threat.
“The one in California was actually in a warehouse area. But this is in a residential home, so it’s less likely to be discovered, but a whole assortment of very, very nasty viruses, very, lethal viruses.”
Fleming believes the Reedley and Las Vegas labs were not uncommon discoveries.
“You have to assume that there are more out there. The intended purpose is to kill Americans and to emanate it from U.S. soil,” he explained.
Fleming is the author of the book, Red Tsunami: The Silent Storm Killing Your Freedom.
He contends that the biolabs here in the U.S. are just one piece of a much larger plan by the CCP.
“27 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party said, we don’t want to go up against the U.S. militarily. We want to do everything but that. So they redefined what war is. We think war is binary, and it involves our military, and that’s not the way we can think anymore. This war is about every man, woman, and child being on the front lines to weaken the United States,” he said.
It’s about unconventional warfare, not just bombs and bullets. Mites, fungi, and even viruses are targeting our crops with the goal to wipe out America’s harvest.
And there’s more. Imagine another pandemic, like Covid-19. But this time, it starts right here in the U.S., not overseas.
“The Chinese Communist Party is actually working on Covid-2 and Covid-3, and other very, very lethal viruses in the Wuhan lab. Now, these are a combination of those that have been stolen from U.S. labs. They’ve been stolen from Canadian labs.”
Stolen pathogens brought into the United States, undetected by the FBI and Homeland Security.
What does Fleming believe must be done to stop it?
“Number one, stop buying Chinese goods and services, period. And stop investing in companies that are doing business in China. You’re only feeding and funding your enemy.”
Fleming contends Americans are ultimately engaged in a spiritual battle.
“If you want to boil it completely down. This is God versus Satan in all of its forms.”

US sends over 50 fighter jets to Middle East in military buildup against Iran - report
The American military buildup comes amid indirect negotiations with Iranian officials, in which "progress was made" on Tuesday in Geneva, a US official told The Post.

The United States military has moved over 50 fighter jets to the Middle East in the last 24 hours as part of its buildup of air and naval assets near Iran, Axios reported on Tuesday, citing a US official.
A host of F-16, F-22, and F-35 jets were observed heading to the Middle East by independent flight trackers.
The American military buildup comes amid indirect negotiations with Iranian officials, focusing on Iran's nuclear program.
US official: Iran to send detailed nuclear proposal in next two weeks
A US official told The Jerusalem Post that progress was made in talks held in Geneva earlier on Tuesday, stressing that many details "still need to be discussed."
The official said Iran relayed that it would make detailed proposals in the next two weeks to close gaps with the US. "The Iranians said they would come back in the next two weeks with detailed proposals to address some of the open gaps in our positions," the official told the Post.
"There were good meetings, but the gaps are still wide. There's still a lot of work to be done to reach an agreement."

US sends massive aircraft carriers to Middle East
Last week, American media outlets reported that the US will send its largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, to bolster its forces in the Middle East ahead of an anticipated clash with Iranian forces.
The USS Gerald R. Ford and its escort ships had previously been deployed in the Caribbean and, according to four anonymous US officials, were informed of their new destination on Thursday.
The USS Abraham Lincoln, as well as other notable air and naval assets, were already deployed to the area in January.

Jordan walks a tightrope as internal threats mount
As it restructures its security apparatus to confront mounting regional threats, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has also adopted an increasingly confrontational foreign policy toward Israel. But what begins as incitement often evolves into a domestic threat.
by Shachar Kleiman
Published on 02-18-2026 09:43 Last modified: 02-18-2026 09:43
King Abdullah II has recently issued unusual directives to reorganize Jordan's security agencies in light of a new Middle East reality. At the heart of the plan is a new strategy and roadmap designed to structurally transform the kingdom's armed forces within three years.
The goal, Abdullah has made clear, is to enable the military to address present and future threats, including those posed by technological developments. The aim is to ensure that the Jordanian Armed Forces and other security bodies can operate effectively in "diverse operational environments," including against actors using artificial intelligence, cyberattacks and drones. The move may reflect lessons drawn from the wars in Syria and Yemen, where conventional armies struggled against terrorist organizations.
In recent years, public discourse in Jordan has increasingly focused on threats of terrorist infiltration and the establishment of sleeper cells within the kingdom. This comes alongside ongoing weapons and drug smuggling across Jordan's borders using drones. Despite the collapse of Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime, which had been the primary force behind the captagon drug trade, criminal networks continue their smuggling attempts.
Moreover, in place of the Assad regime, an Islamist government has emerged that poses a long-term threat to the kingdom. Some of the factions that brought Ahmad al-Sharaa to power are affiliated with terrorist organizations such as al-Qaida and Islamic State. These groups view the Jordanian monarchy as a future target. Authorities in Amman are well aware of this and are acting accordingly, even if publicly they maintain a conciliatory tone toward their new neighbors.
These external threats are compounded by Jordan's large Palestinian population. Many expressed support for Hamas, the terrorist organization, during the war in Gaza and participated in protest events. The demonstrations were encouraged by senior Hamas figures such as Khaled Mashaal, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Jordanian authorities. Support for Hamas, of course, does not begin and end there.
This week, a Jordanian court sentenced three residents of a Palestinian refugee camp north of Amman to 10 years in prison each. They were convicted of attempting to support terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria. According to reports, they had undergone training in order to cross the border into Judea and Samaria and carry out attacks against Israel Defense Forces troops. Their conviction follows the exposure of a Muslim Brotherhood terror network that had planned to establish a missile and drone array on Jordanian soil. It is reasonable to assume these were not isolated cases.
At the same time, alongside the shift in its security doctrine, Jordan has adopted a confrontational foreign policy toward Israel. In a meeting this week with British parliamentarians, King Abdullah accused Israel of taking "illegal steps aimed at entrenching settlements, imposing sovereignty over lands and undermining de-escalation efforts. These steps risk escalating the conflict." The remarks are part of a broader effort by Jordan and other Arab and Islamic states to apply pressure at the United Nations against Israel's recent decisions regarding Judea and Samaria.
The Jordanian monarch's conduct reflects a broader regional pattern of playing a double game. On the one hand, there is military and technological strengthening to preempt terrorist threats and strict enforcement by the judiciary and law enforcement agencies. It is not inconceivable that beneath the surface, Jordan's various security services are quietly cooperating with their Israeli counterparts on these matters. On the other hand, there is a clear desire to channel domestic political and economic pressures toward Israel.
The problem with the Hashemite royal court's approach, like that of other states in the region, is that it creates a vicious cycle. With one hand, it strikes at terror-supporting movements such as Hamas affiliates and various branches of the Muslim Brotherhood. With the other, it cultivates anti-Israel hostility, one of the primary sources of strength for those same actors. And what begins as incitement against Israel typically evolves into an internal security threat.

Russia is ready to use its naval forces to protect its ships from being seized by Western countries.
Moreover, Russia may respond to such actions that have already taken place, with measures against shipping in Europe.
This was stated by Nikolay Patrushev, an aide to President Vladimir Putin.
This comes just one day after France grabbed a vessel allegedly carrying Russian oil, fined the Captain several million dollars and held the ship until the "fine" was paid - but France grabbed the ship in INTERNATIONAL waters! Not French jurisdiction.

Maryland governor signs bill barring police cooperation agreements with ICE
Maryland's legislation does not prevent local law enforcement from turning over illegal aliens in government custody to ICE, however.
By Ben Whedon Published: February 18, 2026 11:27am Updated: February 18, 2026 11:38am
Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., on Tuesday signed legislation barring local governments and law enforcement from making official agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The legislation does not preclude isolated instances of cooperation, but requires the termination of any formal arrangements by July, WBOC reported.
Moore's signature on the bill comes as Democratic states continue to oppose President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts, including through sanctuary policies.
Maryland's legislation does not prevent local law enforcement from turning over illegal aliens in government custody to ICE, however.
The Trump administration, for its part, has sought voluntary cooperation from state agencies in its enforcement efforts, though the refusal of some states has led to tensions, especially in Minnesota.

Something massive is happening in the global financial system right now, and most people aren't paying attention. The US dollar is quietly losing its strength, gold just surpassed $5,000 an ounce, silver broke through $100, and central banks around the world are making unprecedented moves to distance themselves from fiat currencies. In this video, we break down what's really going on, why experts and everyday Americans alike are sounding the alarm, and what this could mean for your savings, your purchasing power, and your financial future.
We look at real conversations people are having right now about the state of the dollar, the rise of hard assets, and the growing push toward digital currencies and stable coins. From the GENIUS Act to central bank digital currencies, the financial landscape is shifting faster than most of us realize. Whether these changes are part of a natural economic cycle or something more intentional, the signs are becoming impossible to ignore.
We also explore how inflation is quietly eroding the purchasing power of everyday Americans. The government says inflation is under control, but anyone who's filled up their gas tank, bought groceries, or tried to rent an apartment knows that the numbers don't match the reality. Shrinkflation, tipflation, rising insurance premiums, it all adds up. And for millions of families, making ends meet has never been harder, even when they're earning more than they ever have before.
On a global scale, countries are actively moving away from the US dollar as their reserve currency. Capital is flowing out of dollar-denominated assets and into foreign markets, gold, silver, and alternative investments. When entire nations start making these kinds of moves, it tells a story that's hard to dismiss. The dollar's dominance is being challenged in ways we haven't seen in decades.
We also take a closer look at what's happening with banks. From major institutions facing scrutiny over fake accounts and frozen funds to the simple reality that most banks don't actually hold your cash on hand, there are real concerns about where your money is and how safe it truly is. For many people, these revelations are a wake-up call to start thinking differently about how they store and protect their wealth.
This video isn't financial advice, it's a conversation. It's about looking at the bigger picture, asking the right questions, and making sure we're all informed enough to make smart decisions for ourselves and our families during a time of real economic uncertainty.

Hillary Clinton Insists Christian Men Are Damaging The Path Forward For America
By
Featured
February 19, 2026
Earlier this week, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said out loud what many socially conservative Christian believers have long suspected radical factions of culture contend to be fact: White, Christian, heterosexual men are the cause of all kinds of problems, and maybe even behind the collapse of Western Civilization itself.
Speaking on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Mrs. Clinton stated: “We haven’t gotten to the more perfect union, and we fought a civil war over part of it. And people have been protesting, you know, for hundreds of years that, you know, things were not as they should be, given our ideals and how we should be moving toward them. So I think that’s what makes us so special as a country.”
Then came the kill shot: “And the idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by, you know, let’s say it, white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology, is just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for. And we were on the path toward that, I mean, imperfectly, lots of, you know, bumps along the way.”
Mrs. Clinton’s claim that conservatives are trying to go back to a time that didn’t exist belies a fundamental fact: In most cases, it’s the radicals who are trying to jump ahead and reimagine a world that never was.
Since the beginning of time, it’s been established there are two genders — male and female. Suggesting that one’s biological sex at birth is malleable is pure lunacy. There is no such thing as a “trans” anybody. It’s made up. It’s make-believe. It’s rooted in mental illness.
The sexual revolution that strived to separate sex from marriage has wreaked unspeakable harm and wrecked countless lives and families.
Redefining the family is a radical act that seeks to shake upside down and inside out multi-millennia-old norms. Commodifying children via surrogacy and reckless fertility treatments is something that’s never been done before, and not simply because the technology to do so hasn’t previously existed.
Regardless of political ideology, it’s long been understood that children thrive in a family with a married mother and father. In fact, it’s been a given for thousands of years that no child should be deliberately deprived of having one of both. It’s been common sense. Until now. It’s now increasingly uncommon for the radical revolutionaries to put the interests of children in front of their own selfish lusts and desires.
Hillary Clinton’s broad swipe attack on biblical Christianity is curious in its lack of specificity. We’re left to speculate on what she meant, but she presumably doesn’t approve of the way many of us have sought to see the world through the truths of scripture: the sanctity of life, the exclusivity of one-man, one-woman marriage, two genders, etc.
But if not for Scripture’s teachings, the world would be in far worse shape than it currently is. Christianity has brought enormous advances in education, medicine, human rights, science, the arts, and numerous other areas. Christian philanthropy has eased suffering and served countless people through the ages. It has been a bright light in an otherwise darkening world.
One of the great ironies surrounding attacks on America’s Judeo-Christian heritage is that the people attacking it almost all have their platforms because of it.
Yet, Hillary Clinton is right about this one thing: Biblical Christianity is doing damage to the radical ideas that comprise the agenda of those who seek to upend the teachings of God’s timeless Word — and that is a very good thing.

Grinding The American Middle Class To Dust
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
Authored by MN Gordon via EconomicPrism.com,
The housing market, for much of the 20th century, was the bedrock of the American Dream. Home ownership, and the financial stability it represents, was a sure path to middle-class prosperity.
That dream turned to a nightmare for many American families during the epic real estate bubble and subsequent bust in 2008-09. What’s more, in the near two decades that followed, federal monetary policies coupled with restrictive local development standards have huffed and puffed an even more perilous bubble than the last one.
Now the crumbling façade of American real estate and the associated economic squeeze has become too great to ignore. To understand why the real estate market is falling apart, you must look at who’s expected to buy the houses. The arithmetic simply doesn’t work.
We’ve reached the point where discretionary income, the money left over after you’ve paid for basic needs, has effectively vanished for much of the population. When 67 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, saving for a down payment is impossible.
Currently, about 72 percent of Americans are struggling to pay their monthly bills. We aren’t talking about luxury vacations or even unexpected medical expenses. We’re talking about keeping the lights on and the fridge full. When the buffer is gone, the entire economic engine stalls.
The lack of affordable housing has created a generational rift. Young workers find themselves trapped in a permanent renter class. They’re unable to build the equity that once anchored the nation’s middle class.
Right now, more than 75 percent of homes across the country are unaffordable for the typical household. Most Americans are effectively priced out of the housing market. And this number is climbing.
The Mortgage Death Trap
The ladder of social mobility has been pulled up. Millions of Americans have been left behind. Shelter is no longer a basic path to financial stability, but an unreachable speculative asset.
What we are seeing is the rent servitude of a generation. If you can’t buy, you rent. If you rent, you can’t save to buy. It’s a closed loop that keeps equity in the hands of the few while the middle class are stuck paying for a roof they will never own.
The modern American household also operates in a fragile state. Most families require two incomes just to keep the mortgage current. This dual-income trap means there is zero margin for an unexpected job loss.
If even one spouse loses their job, which is becoming a looming threat as the labor market adjusts to the realities of AI, the house quickly turns from a burden to a liability. The timeline from missed paycheck to foreclosure notice is shorter than most people realize.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the labor market is strong. But the reality on the ground tells a different story. We are staring down a year where millions of jobs are projected to vanish.
Automation and AI are displacing white-collar jobs that used to be safe. There have been massive layoffs in technology, finance, and manufacturing. In previous downturns, there were usually sectors that could absorb the displaced. Today, every sector, except low-cost elder care jobs, is contracting simultaneously.
When the jobs go, the houses follow. A bank doesn’t care about your years of loyal service. When the 30-day clock on a missed payment starts ticking that’s all that matters.
Engineered Collapse
Despite what the data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics says, there’s mounting evidence that this isn’t just a run of the mill economic cycle. When you look at the speed of the decline and the specific targeting of the middle class, it appears to be something else entirely.
The middle class, specifically the segment that has historically held the most private property, is under attack. By squeezing the life out of the housing market, wealth is being funneled upward. When families lose their homes to foreclosure, they don’t just lose a roof, they lose their primary vehicle for intergenerational wealth.
The result is a civilization of serfs. We’re rapidly transitioning to a rentership society. If you don’t own property, you don’t have a stake in the future. You’re left out in the cold.
In 2008, the crash was about bad paper and subprime loans. Today, the crisis is about affordability and insolvency. House price inflation in the face of stagnating wages has become too much to overcome.
Moreover, as houses are lost en masse to the banks they aren’t being foreclosed on and put back on the market at a lower price. They’re being sold in bulk to hedge funds, who promptly jack up the rents. What this means is your neighborhood could soon be owned by a corporation that doesn’t have a face, let alone a soul.
The real estate market isn’t just cooling off. It’s being hollowed out. Between the loss of discretionary income, the instability of the job market, and the sheer impossibility of the two-income mortgage, the American middle class is standing on a trap door.
Yet the collapse isn’t coming. It has already begun. The question isn’t whether the market will survive, but who will be left owning anything when the dust settles.
Grinding the American Middle Class to Dust
For decades, the home was a forced savings account that allowed a mechanic or a teacher to retire with dignity. Today, that vehicle has been hijacked by institutional capital.
As the supply of affordable homes dwindles, we see the rise of the build-to-rent trend. This is where entire subdivisions are constructed not for families to buy, but for corporations to lease back to them in perpetuity.
This shift marks the transition from a stakeholder society to a subscription society consistent with the WEF diktat of, “you will own nothing and be happy.” Housing, the most basic of human needs, has become a subscription service.
Thus, the ability to accumulate private wealth through long-term home ownership has disappeared. As a renter, you are no longer building equity and wealth, you are funding a hedge fund’s quarterly dividends.
This exploitive model ensures that the fruits of one’s labor are siphoned away from the community and into the coffers of distant shareholders. As a result, the working class are left with nothing but receipts and a sense of perpetual instability. The economic ladder has been replaced by a treadmill to nowhere.
In addition, a society of renters is a society of transients that lack the long-term community ties that homeownership once encouraged. As the trap door swings open, the fall both destroys people’s finances and shatters the very concept of the neighborhood.
Community engagement and local pride disappear when the residents of a street have no permanent stake in its future. Vibrant towns turn into anonymous places for an increasingly displaced workforce. No one makes eye contact. No one cracks jokes. No one helps their elderly neighbor bring in the groceries.
The doors are closing on the era of American middle-class independence. The dream of home ownership is being replaced by the reality of permanent debt, and the bedrock of the American middle class is ground into dust.

Doug Casey on Venezuela, Oil, and America’s Bid to Push China Out of Its Backyard
Via International Man
International Man: President Trump justified the operation and capture of Nicolas Maduro by saying it was because of drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
What is the real objective of the US involvement in Venezuela?
Doug Casey: The lies that the US government has put out regarding Venezuela are shameful. The amount of drug trafficking done in and from Venezuela is trivial. But the killing of at least 80 people on the high seas with no proof of wrongdoing is very serious. We may never know what the real truth is, but drugs have little or nothing to do with it.
It may be Venezuela’s oil resources. Note that I said “resources”, not “reserves.” These are well-defined technical terms in the mining and oil businesses. A “resource” simply means that a mineral exists. That’s very different from a “reserve”, which is a resource that can be economically recovered at existing prices with existing technology.
The 300 billion barrels of oil that’s always mentioned in the press materialized out of thin air after oil briefly hit $140 a barrel in 2008. The Venezuelans arbitrarily raised their reserves to 300 billion barrels based on politics, not geology. And everyone has slavishly and stupidly repeated that number ever since. What we know for sure is that under the socialist Chavez and Maduro regimes oil production has dropped from 3 million BPD to under 1 million BPD. That’s because most competent oil men have left the country over the last 30 years, there’s been minimal maintenance of old facilities, and no new investment. The regime has used all the cash flow to stay in power.
Reserves are probably about 30 billion barrels right now—10% of the touted number. Paradoxically, resources may have gone up to a trillion as technology has enhanced discovery and recovery. But who knows? It’s pure guesswork. The bottom line is that there’s little economic oil in Venezuela at the moment. And their one million BPD is a rounding error on world production of about 82 MBPD.
Trump being who he is, perhaps it comes down to his having no personal relationship with Maduro and finding him annoying. But I’ve got to say it was clever to just kidnap Maduro, avoiding a messy invasion. Maduro was a slimy criminal, and good riddance. The criminals who remain in power, led by the ex-VP Delcy Rodriguez, will probably do as they’re told, if they know what’s good for them. And it acts as an example to other governments—bend the knee to The Donald, or you could be next.
Of course, what the US is doing with Venezuela is nothing new in world history, and is relatively mellow. Going back to the days of the Peloponnesian War, Athens insisted that the island of Melos join their Delian League in the war against Sparta. Melos said that it wanted to be neutral. Athens gave the Melians an ultimatum, and the Melians didn’t comply. Whereupon Athens—the original enlightened “city on a hill”—attacked, killing or enslaving the entire population.
Thucydides said: “The strong do as they will, and the weak endure what they must.” It’s been true throughout history, and it’s true today. Trump knows nothing about history, but he’s got the street instincts of a bully—which can work. For a while…
International Man: What do you make of the US interest in Venezuela’s oil? Is it about controlling a strategic asset or denying leverage to rivals like China?
Doug Casey: While Venezuela has a lot of hydrocarbons, what’s not very well-known is that their oil is sour (it has lots of deleterious sulfur content) and heavy (it’s very viscous, verging towards tar). That means it’s extra expensive to produce and refine.
To capitalize on Venezuelan oil, especially after 30 years of non-investment and mismanagement, it will take scores of billions to renovate and improve the antiquated Venezuelan plant. But what company will—willingly—make that kind of investment in a notably unstable country, when they’re barely making money on light sweet oil right in the US?
As the chairman of Exxon told Trump—which greatly annoyed Trump—Venezuela is “uninvestible” because it’s so unstable. There’s no way of telling when stability will return to Venezuela. I’ve been there three or four times over the years, and can only say I have no desire to look for a “crisis investing” opportunity. I say that for a half-dozen reasons that we can discuss at some future date.
Maybe Trump wants to “run” Venezuela because he thinks increasing its production will keep energy prices low. Maybe—in 20 or 30 years. But by then, the whole world will be radically different. In the meantime, almost all of Venezuela’s production goes to China. A million BPD of low-grade oil from the other side of the world isn’t that important to China, but I’m sure they’d like a return on—or of—the $80 billion they’re said to have invested there.
Venezuelan oil is unimportant to the US or to American oil companies. And the Venezuelan drug trade is a fabrication. I think Trump invaded mainly to show everybody “Who’s their Daddy”. Yeah, that’s the ticket… It’s always worked really well for the US in the past.
International Man: Do you see US actions in Venezuela as part of a broader pivot to reassert dominance over the Americas, effectively treating the Western Hemisphere as a strategic fortress in an increasingly multipolar world?
Doug Casey: It’s funny. Though the US is only 4% of the world’s population, its fiat currency is failing, its government is bankrupt, and it’s been de-industrializing for decades, it thinks it can control not just the hemisphere, but the entire planet. I suppose that’s why Trump insists on increasing the War Department’s budget by 50%, to $1.5 trillion…
But what do the Central and South Americans think about being considered part of the US empire and under our direct control? I believe they’d prefer to work with China. The Chinese present absolutely no direct threat to Latin America, but the US does. Furthermore, the Latinos have always resented the US sending in the Marines or the CIA to bully them on numerous occasions.
They resent being made part of the Greater American Empire, especially if they’re denied full access to cheap Chinese goods, which is clearly part of what passes for 4D chess in Trump’s increasingly megalomaniacal mind. So, although the US might want to make Venezuela part of our rickety empire, I doubt that the Venezuelans, or any other Latin American country, feel the same way.
The kidnapping of Maduro, just like the similar invasion of Panama and the kidnapping of Noriega in 1989, or Grenada in 1983, inclines them to be more friendly to the Chinese than the US. There’s very little that they can buy from the US that the Chinese can’t provide much more cheaply, and with less risk.
International Man: How much of Washington’s Venezuela policy is really about China’s growing economic and political footprint in Latin America, and do you think the US is late or desperate in responding to that shift?
Doug Casey: Quite a bit of it, actually. The US government wants to damage China, both in its own backyard by intervening with Taiwan, and by keeping China out of the Westeremisphere.
I’m afraid that we’re going to fail in that regard because, looking at it from the Latin American point of view, China is non-threatening militarily, economically, or culturally. It’s a huge source of capital and provides very favorable trade benefits. None of this is true with the US anymore.
International Man: If the US succeeds in tightening control over Venezuela and the region more broadly, what are the long-term consequences, both economically and politically, for Americans and for Latin American nations themselves?
Doug Casey: Trying to hold Latin America in a vice grip under the so-called Donroe Doctrine is a bad idea. It will wind up costing the US billions to “defend Latin America,” the way NATO—which should have been disbanded with the fall of the USSR in 1991—has cost the US hundreds of billions of dollars to “defend” Europe.
The Latin Americans will resent the US trying to keep other countries out, in the same way that Americans resented the British keeping other countries from trading with the US colonies before the Revolution. That was one of the major causes of the American Revolution.
Coercing or bribing Latin governments to do Washington’s bidding will cost the US scores of billions it doesn’t have. It’s especially unwise at a time when the Red people and the Blue people in the US are on the cusp of something like a civil war.
Trying to “run” Venezuela is a bad idea from every point of view. Especially while the US government is engaged in similar misadventures in a half-dozen other places in the world.
Editor’s Note: When Washington doubles down on failed policies, it never retreats quietly—it escalates, distorts markets, and ultimately reaches for control.
The same reckless logic that turns prohibition into carnage and farce is now embedded in fiscal, monetary, and geopolitical policy, with consequences that extend directly to your savings, mobility, and financial independence.

Fears of WWIII after America's adversary fires multiple nuclear-capable missiles
REVEALED: The five countries quietly stockpiling nukes amid fears of WWIII
By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR
Published: 16:12 EST, 28 January 2026 | Updated: 16:49 EST, 28 January 2026
North Korea has launched a pair of ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan on Tuesday, sparking renewed fears of a widespread nuclear conflict in Asia.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff revealed that the short-range missiles were fired from a site near North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, at 3.50pm local time (1.50am ET).
Each of the missiles flew for approximately 217 miles before landing in the sea without further incident. No injuries or damages have been reported by North Korea's neighbors.
The launch reportedly tested the totalitarian dictatorship's KN-25 short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), which have an estimated range of 250 miles and could potentially strike targets within South Korea, a US ally.
North Korea has claimed that this type of short-range rocket is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, and US scientists believe it could be powerful enough to deliver widespread destruction in large cities for several miles.
The US government has already responded to the launch, revealing that they are monitoring the situation along with their allies in South Korea and Japan, although no troops have been moved in retaliation to the test.
America and North Korea have been enemies since the Korean War ended in 1953, when US forces fought against both North Korean and Chinese troops in defense of South Korea. Thousands of troops are still stationed along the border of the two nations.
If North Korea were to launch a real nuclear strike against the US or its allies in the region, it could trigger World War III as treaties of mutual defense would threaten to drag in more countries on both sides, including China and possibly all the nations of NATO.
US Forces Korea (USFK), the American military command stationed in South Korea to help defend the country against threats, confirmed the launch took place and added that they were consulting with their allies in the region regarding a response.
'Based on current assessments, this event does not pose an immediate threat to US personnel or territory, or to our allies,' USFK said in a statement.
Despite the military believing there is no urgent threat at this time, the test launch occurred right away, a speech by a key Pentagon official in South Korea, who was discussing the need to contain North Korea's greatest ally - China.
On Monday, US Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby delivered a speech in Seoul on the importance of the two nations working together as strong partners to keep China from dominating the region.
China, which the Pentagon recently revealed was readying its intercontinental ballistic missiles, has been a formal ally of North Korea for over six decades.
North Korea is also the only country with which nuclear-armed China has a mutual defense treaty, an agreement that has been in effect since 1961.
The Sino-North Korean Mutual Aid and Cooperation Friendship Treaty requires North Korea and China to intervene militarily if one of the communist countries is attacked.
However, the agreement does not require China to join in a war against North Korea's neighbors if Kim Jong-Un's regime were to attack first.
Since Kim assumed power in 2011, North Korea has continued to conduct random missile tests and artillery firings, unnerving both South Korea and Japan.
US ally Japan added that the missiles landed just outside its exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which extends roughly 230 miles from Japan's coast and is an area where Japanese citizens can fish, mine for resources, and conduct research.
Japan's Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kei Sato said: 'North Korea's nuclear and missile development, including the recent ballistic missile launch, constitutes a threat to the peace and security of our country and of the international community and is absolutely unacceptable.'
Researchers from the Federation of American Scientists released a threat assessment of North Korea's nuclear program in 2024, warning that the nation was actively modernizing and expanding its nuclear arsenal, including developing smaller tactical weapons and more advanced missiles.
The scientists estimated North Korea had produced enough plutonium and enriched uranium to build up to 90 nuclear warheads.
However, they believed the country had only built around 50 nuclear warheads, with the potential to make about a dozen more by 2026.
Most of these warheads were believed to be simple fission-type bombs with the explosive power equivalent to 10 to 20 kilotons of TNT, similar to the bombs dropped by the US on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in World War II.
The shortest-range nuclear-capable missiles have been estimated to be capable of traveling 186 to 311 miles, allowing them to hit targets in South Korea, such as US military bases or Seoul.
The longest-range missiles, such as the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, have an estimated range of more than 8,000 miles, putting cities like New York or Washington, DC, within potential striking distance.

US Collapse Will Now Accelerate As Dollar Begins Historic Plunge
January 28, 2026
January 28 (King World News) – Gregory Mannarino, writing for the Trends Journal: Nearly a decade ago I wrote something most people couldn’t even look at, let alone fully grasp, (below).
“The world’s central banks are responsible for creating a market for their product, currency backed by nothing, by fostering a population boom and consumers dependent on their product.”
Central banks engineer dependency on their debt-based fiat system. FULL-STOP.
This mechanism creates a SLAVE, DEPENDENCY SYSTEM… completely reliant on INFINITE DEBT EXPANSION.
RIGHT NOW TODAY, The United States has crossed the line from “debt user” to STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL debt HYPER-dependency.
Result? Stock market levitation, a wealth transfer effect (Cantillion)- CLICK HERE, and an economy, A PEOPLE, hollowed-out.
KEY POINT. Accelerated Currency debasement. And when debasement hits a tipping point, AND WE ARE THERE NOW, then the next phase arrives.
THE RESOURCE REPRICE/CURRENCY COLLAPSE.
Resources reprice, not because “resources changed,” but because the ***measuring stick has collapsed, (***the currency).
So what looks like “inflation” is actually the currency failing/collapsing, and supply chains fragmenting.
Major Fallout.
KEY POINT. Food costs hit first, energy costs then follow, and shelter becomes a political flashpoint, (as in “the government now buying Fed run-off of MBS on Trump’s order), and social unrest becomes geographic… meaning it expands.
THE DANGER ZONE.
This is the point when people surrender their freedoms and liberties for some kind of “stability.” CONTROL… Not because the people want control, but because they want relief.
EXPECT A RAPID SHIFT INTO A POLICE STATE.
Now here’s where the Human Bubble meets the next phase…
When purchasing power falls far enough, stability WILL break. “Governments” and politicians will say…………………………… “We need order.” Order=Control. The Current Pathway America has been put on…
MAJOR KEY POINT. The progression here then becomes this…
Debt dependence,
Currency Debasement,
Increasing Resource stress,
Broad Based Social Unrest,
Government Crackdown… freedom then becomes permissioned.
That’s the Police-State Drift.
The Market and Economic Fallout.
This IS mechanism… Debt dependence, Currency Debasement, Increasing Resource stress, Broad Based Social Unrest, Government Crackdown…
MAJOR KEY POINT. Freedom then becomes permissioned via COMPLIANCE… And that is NOT freedom. Moreover, this has even broader implications.
MARKETS AND THE ECONOMY… they don’t trade opinions. They trade consequences.
MAJOR KEY POINT. When interior enforcement (A POLICE STATE) develops, and cities/people push back, it hits the economy AS FOLLOWS.
Labor supply shocks in specific sectors (food, construction, hospitality, logistics)
Cost-push inflation rises… (the cost to produce goods and services rises due to higher raw material, labor, energy prices, or supply chain issues).
Demand drag (fear effects, mobility slowdown, people pull back on spending).
Risk premium jumps (unrest, disruption, capex (business investment) slows further)
Final Thoughts.
The Human Bubble was built by debt expansion.
The debt expansion now requires further intervention.
The intervention requires currency debasement.
The currency debasement triggers resource stress.
Resource stress triggers unrest.
And unrest triggers the pivot to a Police-State.
Control.
MAJOR FINAL THOUGHT………………. Expect this Police-State Drift to invade every state in the union rapidly, and be sold to an unknowing, desperate, numbed, and shell-shocked public via every deceptive tactic in the political arsenal.

Trump Gives Iran A Deadline For War That Roughly Corresponds With The End Of Ramadan
February 12, 2026
President Trump has just said that Iran will have about a “month” to make a deal. If you look at the calendar, about a month from now we will be very close to the end of Ramadan. I think that President Trump is hoping that the military preparations that the U.S. is making in the Middle East will convince Iran to make significant concessions. But the Iranians have repeatedly told us that they must be allowed to continue to enrich uranium and that there will be absolutely no negotiations regarding their ballistic missile program or their support for proxies in the region. So there is no way that a deal is going to happen. In the end, either President Trump will pull the trigger or the Israelis will go in alone.
Either way, it appears that a final showdown with Iran is coming.
With each passing day, we get closer to the fateful moment when the missiles will start flying.
We are being told that the U.S. buildup that we are witnessing in the Middle East right now is “unprecedented in scale”…
The pace of the US Air Force’s buildup of its air force in preparation for a strike on Iran continues to be unprecedented in scale.
At least five KC-135R/T tanker aircraft took off from RAF Mildenhall, en route to southern Europe. They were deployed to support a flight of six F-35A Lightning II fighters belonging to “The Green Mountain Boys” squadron (158th Fighter Wing, Vermont Air National Guard). The aircraft are being deployed from Lakenheath Air Base in the UK to Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.
According to air traffic monitoring data, the flow of military transport aircraft also remains high and covers several directions at once.
We have never seen anything quite like this before.
On top of everything else, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that another aircraft carrier strike group has been ordered to get ready to go to the Middle East…
The Pentagon has told a second aircraft carrier strike group to prepare to deploy to the Middle East as the U.S. military readies for a potential attack on Iran, according to three U.S. officials.
President Trump said Tuesday that he was weighing sending a second carrier to the Middle East to prepare for military action if negotiations with Iran failed. The order to deploy could be issued in a matter of hours, one of the officials said.
Adding another carrier to the mix will definitely raise tensions in the region.
According to the Journal, the most likely carrier to be deployed is the USS George H.W. Bush…
One of the officials said the Pentagon was readying a carrier to deploy in two weeks, likely from the U.S. East Coast. The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is completing a series of training exercises off the coast of Virginia, and it could potentially expedite those exercises, officials say.
The warship can launch and recover strike, electronic attack and reconnaissance aircraft. That includes carrier versions of the F-35 Lighting stealth fighter, according to a Navy official. The Wall Street Journal has previously reported any military strike inside Iran would likely use stealth aircraft, such as F-35 or F-22 Raptor jet fighters and B-2 Spirit bombers.
It is my belief that President Trump would prefer to avoid a shooting war with Iran.
After holding a three hour meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, Trump stated that during the meeting he “insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated”…
I have just finished meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, of Israel, and various of his Representatives. It was a very good meeting, the tremendous relationship between our two Countries continues. There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be. Last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a Deal, and they were hit with Midnight Hammer — That did not work well for them. Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible. Additionally, we discussed the tremendous progress being made in Gaza, and the Region in general. There is truly PEACE in the Middle East. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
It would be wonderful if a deal could be made.
But the Iranians are absolutely determined to continue enriching uranium, and they won’t even talk about their ballistic missile program…
Iran has signaled it could limit its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief, but has rejected the other demands, and that missiles would be a red line.
“No one can make the slightest encroachment on our missiles,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Wednesday, according to Iranian media, “our missiles are not a subject of negotiation and will not be.”
That won’t fly with the Israelis.
Following his meeting with Trump, Netanyahu once again reaffirmed that any agreement with the Iranians must include limitations on Iran’s ballistic missile program…
“I do not hide my general skepticism about the possibility of reaching any agreement with Iran. However, I made it clear that if an agreement is reached, it must include the important omponents for us, for the State of Israel, and in my opinion also for the entire international community: not only the nuclear issue, but also the ballistic missiles and the Iranian proxies in the region.”
The Israelis have already made it very clear that they are prepared to attack Iran alone if necessary.
So there will be war no matter what Trump ultimately decides to do.
For now, Trump says that he is giving the Iranians a “month” to make a deal…
President Trump said Thursday that Iran would face a “very traumatic” moment if it doesn’t make a deal with the US “over the next month.”
“We have to make a deal, otherwise it’s going to be very traumatic, very traumatic,” Trump told reporters at the White House — one day after he met privately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Asked about his timeline for an agreement to be reached, Trump said: “I guess over the next month.”
“Phase two will be very tough for them,” he added. “I’m not looking for that.”
Why is Trump giving Iran a month?
Well, I think that he realizes that attacking Iran during the month of Ramadan would be deeply offensive to Muslims all over the world.
In just a few days, approximately a quarter of the entire population of the globe will begin celebrating Ramadan…
More than 2 billion Muslims worldwide will soon begin observing Ramadan with the sighting of the waxing crescent moon.
During Ramadan, which begins in mid-February in 2026, Muslims focus on God-consciousness, self-reflection, and self-improvement as they fast, abstaining from food and water between sunrise and sunset.
This year, the first night of Ramadan is expected to start on the evening of February 17th…
According to Islamic Relief, the first night of Ramadan in 2026 is expected to happen on Tuesday evening, Feb. 17. As of Feb. 11, the start of Ramadan is approximately 6 days away. The holy month will last 29–30 days, until the sighting of the next waxing crescent moon.
The end of Ramadan will fall some time in the middle of March.
That roughly corresponds with the deadline that Trump has just given to Iran.
Interestingly, next month there will be a blood moon eclipse on Purim for the third year in a row too.
Will next month be the time when the Middle East erupts in flames, or will we get another reprieve?
The clock is ticking, and a global nightmare of epic proportions is right at the door.

Pastor Jailed, Bound, and Exiled for Refusing Catholic Ritual in Mexico
By Tré Goins-Phillips
January 28, 2026
A Protestant pastor in Mexico was detained and ultimately exiled by his uncle from his community in the state of Oaxaca after refusing to kneel and pray to a Roman Catholic saint during a local festival in mid-January.
Last year, Mariano Velásquez Martínez, pastor of the 25-member Iglesia Camino Nuevo y Vivo, was assigned the role of mayordomo, the person tasked with organizing and facilitating religious rites in a community. The role is traditionally held by adherents to Roman Catholicism, the predominant religion in Mexico.
According to the U.K.-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), Martínez begrudgingly agreed to take on the role with the understanding he would only be required to provide candles and flowers. However, on Jan. 15, he was reportedly ordered to light candles and then kneel before an image of St. James the Apostle.
The evangelical pastor refused to do so on religious grounds, explaining it would violate his Protestant beliefs, which led another mayordomo to report Martínez to local authorities, who jailed the preacher — a native of Oaxaca — for five days.
After his detention, Martínez was bound with rope and taken before an assembly of roughly 180 men — including his uncle and his cousin — where he was forced to sign a vaguely worded document confirming his expulsion from the community. The pastor was not given a copy of the paper and fears it could be used in the future to suggest he left the community of Santiago Malacatepec voluntarily.
Martínez, his wife, and their 3-month-old baby have since fled the area and are living with relatives in Oaxaca City.
Pablo Vargas, CSW country director for Mexico, told CBN News this case is part of a “culture” and “pattern” in Mexico of religious persecution against evangelical Christians.
“Some persons, they decide to not follow the majority religion, and they suffer the consequences,” he explained. “For the community, it’s more important, the uniformity, than actually the practical right for the persons to believe [as they choose].”
Vargas asserted that, even if Martínez seeks legal recourse, it would not be safe for him and his family to return to Santiago Malacatepec. In fact, in cases like this, he said, the vast majority of those who face persecution never return home because local outrage against them makes living there too perilous.
“His life is gonna be at risk,” he said.

A Simulated Russian Incursion Tests NATO - And It Fails Quickly
By PNW Staff February 09, 2026
Europe likes to speak the language of resolve. Leaders invoke unity, deterrence, and "never again." Yet a recent wargame conducted in Germany cuts through the rhetoric with uncomfortable clarity: Europe may be preparing for war with Russia--but it is nowhere near ready to fight one on its own.
The exercise, organized by Die Welt in cooperation with the German Wargaming Center at Helmut Schmidt University, simulated a Russian incursion into Lithuania in October 2026. What unfolded was not a massive armored thrust or a dramatic blitzkrieg. Instead, it was something far more unsettling: a limited, plausibly deniable operation that exploited hesitation, political division, and the absence of decisive American leadership. Within days, NATO's credibility collapsed in the game, and Russia achieved strategic dominance in the Baltics with a surprisingly small force.
That outcome should alarm every European capital.
What the Wargame Actually Revealed
The scenario hinged on Kaliningrad, Russia's heavily militarized exclave wedged between Poland and Lithuania. Using the pretext of a fabricated humanitarian crisis, Moscow launched a "limited" intervention to seize Marijampole, a Lithuanian city of just 35,000 people--but one that sits astride a critical highway junction connecting the Baltic states to the rest of NATO.
The brilliance, from Russia's perspective, was not military might but narrative control. The incursion was framed as humanitarian, muddying the waters just enough for Washington--under a disengaged or skeptical U.S. administration--to decline invoking NATO's Article 5. Germany hesitated. Poland mobilized but stopped short of crossing the border. Even German troops already deployed in Lithuania were neutralized without a firefight, their movement blocked by drone-laid mines.
The lesson was brutal: deterrence failed not because NATO lacked soldiers or tanks, but because Russia correctly judged that Europe would argue while territory was taken.
As one participant who role-played Russia's top general put it, the outcome hinged on belief. Moscow believed Germany would hesitate--and that belief proved enough to win.
The Baltic Weak Point
The wargame exposed a geographic truth Europe has long known but preferred not to dwell on. Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia are connected to the rest of NATO by a narrow and vulnerable land corridor. A single strategic highway--the Via Baltica--carries not only military reinforcements but the economic lifeblood of the region.
Control that chokepoint, even temporarily, and the Baltics are isolated.
In the exercise, Russia achieved this with roughly 15,000 troops--hardly an overwhelming force. The rest was accomplished through hybrid tactics: information warfare, humanitarian pretexts, cyber pressure, and the calculated exploitation of NATO's internal decision-making process. The alliance, designed to deter clear-cut aggression, struggled when faced with something deliberately ambiguous. That ambiguity is not accidental. It is doctrine.
Why "Time" Is the Most Dangerous Illusion
For years, European planners operated under the assumption that Russia would not be capable of threatening NATO territory until closer to 2029. That timeline is now rapidly eroding. Russia has reoriented its economy toward war, expanded arms production, and continues to recruit tens of thousands of troops each month despite heavy losses in Ukraine.
More importantly, Russia may not need to "win" a war to achieve its goals. It only needs to prove that NATO cannot respond decisively and quickly.
A limited incursion, framed as humanitarian, designed to test Article 5 rather than trigger it, could fracture the alliance politically even if it fails militarily. The wargame suggests such a move could succeed precisely because European leaders are conditioned to de-escalate first and decide later.
That instinct--so deeply embedded after decades of peace--may now be Europe's greatest vulnerability.
Europe's Dependence on America
At the heart of the scenario lies an uncomfortable truth: Europe's security architecture still rests on American will.
European nations collectively dwarf Russia in population and economic power. On paper, they should be able to defend themselves. In practice, they remain dependent on U.S. leadership for intelligence fusion, rapid decision-making, strategic lift, missile defense, and--crucially--political clarity.
The wargame made clear what many European officials privately fear: absent strong and immediate U.S. backing, Europe struggles to act as a single strategic actor. Decisions slow. Red lines blur. Russia advances not because it is unstoppable, but because Europe is uncertain.
This dependence becomes even more precarious in an era of strained transatlantic relations. Disputes over Ukraine, trade, and broader strategic priorities have already raised doubts in European capitals about Washington's reliability. Moscow is watching closely--and learning.
The Bigger Picture
Russia does not need to conquer Europe. It only needs to demonstrate that borders can be changed, alliances paralyzed, and commitments questioned. A small city. A single highway. A few days of hesitation.
That is the scale of the risk revealed by this wargame.
Europe is spending more on defense. It is training more troops. But readiness is not just hardware--it is mindset. It is the willingness to act quickly, decisively, and collectively, even when the facts are deliberately obscured and the narrative is contested.
Until Europe can do that without waiting for Washington to lead, its vulnerability will remain. And Russia, opportunistic and patient, will continue to probe for the moment when hesitation becomes opportunity.
The wargame was fictional. The warning is not.
Why "Time" Is the Most Dangerous Illusion
For years, European planners operated under the assumption that Russia would not be capable of threatening NATO territory until closer to 2029. That timeline is now rapidly eroding. Russia has reoriented its economy toward war, expanded arms production, and continues to recruit tens of thousands of troops each month despite heavy losses in Ukraine.

The Paradox of Peace: Rome, Cyrus, and Power in Our Time
By Tania Koenig February 3, 2026
President Trump’s way of exercising power has been widely misunderstood because it does not fit the assumptions of modern diplomacy. He does not operate primarily through process, consensus, institutions, or rules-based order. He operates through authority, pressure, timing, and sequence. To understand what is unfolding now with Israel, Gaza, and Iran, one must step outside twentieth-century diplomatic frameworks and return to older patterns of power—patterns history records plainly and Scripture itself recognizes.
Trump enforces order in a Roman way, while at times enabling Cyrus-like restoration outcomes. But he never reverses the sequence. Power comes first. Peace follows. This sequence explains why the same actions that alarm diplomats often restrain adversaries, and why what appears chaotic to some is in fact structured.
Rome After Augustus: Authority Before Peace
Trump aligns most closely with Imperial Rome after Augustus, not with the Senate-era Republic and not with modern liberal governance.
Rome learned through collapse and civil war that endless debate does not restrain violence. Authority does. Augustus centralized power, restored hierarchy, imposed order, and only then did Rome experience peace. The Pax Romana was not sentimental, negotiated, or idealistic. It was enforced.
This Roman peace—Pax Romana—was achieved not by the absence of war but by the presence of overwhelming authority, where force was openly acknowledged as the instrument through which peace was secured.
Peace, for Rome, was never the absence of war. It was the result of undisputed authority.
Trump governs with the same instinct. He bypasses bureaucratic paralysis and uses executive authority to impose clarity. When he speaks loudly, moves forces visibly, or imposes sanctions and tariffs, critics see recklessness. Rome would have seen deterrence.
Rome displayed its legions to prevent rebellion. Trump displays pressure—carrier groups, sanctions, tariffs, and public warnings—for the same reason. Visibility is not escalation. It is deterrence. When power is unmistakable, enemies calculate more carefully.
This is why Trump consistently leaves an off-ramp. Rome allowed submission before destruction. Trump does the same. Iran can talk. Hamas can disarm. War remains credible, but not inevitable.
Rome punished selectively and publicly when necessary. Trump avoids endless wars but accepts decisive moments. He prefers short, sharp actions to prolonged entanglements. Peace is preserved by example, not exhaustion.
Rome never pretended war did not exist. It institutionalized it. War and peace were instruments within the same system. Peace flowed from war properly ordered. That is why the language of Secretary of War matters. It reflects an older truth: peace is not achieved by denying force, but by commanding it.
Persia, Cyrus, and Pressure From Within
If Rome explains Trump’s method of authority, Persia explains his method of pressure, particularly toward Iran.
The Achaemenid Persian Empire did not rely primarily on conquest. It ruled through patience, psychological dominance, and internal fracture. Persia preferred compliance to annihilation.
Trump’s approach to Iran mirrors this logic.
Persia understood time as leverage. Trump uses pressure—economic, diplomatic, informational—to weaken regimes from within. Iran fears this more than bombs because internal collapse cannot be controlled.
Recent reporting confirms that Iran considers its defensive capabilities non-negotiable and remains on maximum readiness, while treating negotiations as a test of whether U.S. pressure is real. This posture does not signal confidence; it signals strain.
Persia ruled minds before cities. Trump’s unpredictability destabilizes opponents. They cannot game a system they cannot read. That uncertainty itself becomes pressure.
Persia preferred internal fracture to invasion. Trump pressures regimes until cracks appear. This is why Iran fears him—not because of immediate destruction, but because regime fragility becomes visible under sustained pressure.
Trump acknowledged this openly on January 13, urging Iranian patriots to keep protesting, to document abuses, and warning that those responsible would pay a heavy price. He canceled meetings with Iranian officials and imposed tariffs on anyone doing business with Iran. This was not rhetoric. It was pressure aimed inward.
Cyrus belongs here—but only in sequence. Cyrus was not a believer; yet God called him “My anointed.” He was used as an instrument to enable restoration. Trump does not rule like Cyrus. He rules like Rome. But at times his actions enable Cyrus-like outcomes by removing blockages and reordering conditions. That is not contradiction. It is sequence.
Pressure Becomes Visible: Escalation in Real Time
In the past hours, events have moved from theory to practice.
An Iranian unmanned aerial vehicle loitered near the USS Abraham Lincoln after being warned to stay clear. It was subsequently shot down by a U.S. Air Force F-35 as it approached the carrier strike group. At the same time, Iranian gunboats surrounded the U.S.-flagged tanker M/V Stena Imperative, part of the U.S. Navy’s Tanker Security Program, while the vessel remained in international waters.
According to i24 News, an Iranian Mohajer drone also flew toward the Stena Imperative in parallel with the gunboat activity, adding an aerial component to the maritime provocation. This coordination is not accidental. It reflects deliberate boundary testing without crossing into declared war.
At the diplomatic level, Reuters reports that Iran is seeking to relocate Friday’s talks from Istanbul to Oman, to limit discussions strictly to the nuclear issue, and to conduct negotiations exclusively with the United States, excluding other Arab and Muslim states. This move narrows the frame and reduces external pressure at the very moment military tension is rising.
Inside Iran, hardline political figures have publicly called for ending negotiations and even for pre-emptive strikes against Israel and U.S. bases in the region. This is not confidence. It is internal pressure surfacing.
These events are not random. They form a coherent pressure sequence.
Iran is testing boundaries simultaneously across domains—maritime, aerial, and diplomatic. The United States is responding with restraint backed by force. Drones are shot down. Shipping lanes are defended. Negotiations remain conditional. War remains possible, but controlled.
This is not de-escalation. It is managed escalation—pressure applied deliberately to shape outcomes before decisions harden into war.
Developments Confirming the Sequence
According to the Prime Minister’s Office,
The meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has concluded.
The Prime Minister emphasized the uncompromising demand for the disarmament of Hamas, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, and the completion of the war’s objectives before the reconstruction of Gaza.
The Prime Minister made clear that the Palestinian Authority will not take part in administering the Gaza Strip in any way and informed U.S. Ambassador Hochstein of the serious violations discovered in Gaza involving the use of UNRWA bags to conceal weapons.
Ahead of Envoy Witkoff’s trip to meet an Iranian representative, the Prime Minister reiterated his position that Iran has repeatedly proven it cannot be trusted to keep its promises.
Iran wants to change the venue of Friday's talks with the U.S. from Turkey to Oman, a regional diplomat told Reuters. The diplomat said that Tehran is also seeking to change the scope of the talks to focus only on the nuclear file, and does not want the direct participation of regional countries, despite claiming earlier that their participation was Tehran's initiative.
A military source to Channel 14 News about the meeting with Witkoff stated:
“We warned the Americans that the Iranians will violate any agreement and that there is no point in trying to reach one. Under an agreement, they will not dismantle their nuclear and missile capabilities, and part of the reasons they are trying to buy time is apparently to transfer offensive weapons to hiding places.”
The White House announced that despite recent reports, the talks with Iran scheduled for later this week are expected to proceed as planned: “Trump wants diplomacy”
Venezuela, Greenland, and the Same Pattern
What is unfolding around Iran is not unique. It follows a pressure architecture President Trump has already used elsewhere, without invasion and without overt regime change, but through layered dominance that shifts authority while leaving structures formally intact.
In Venezuela, there were no U.S. troops and no invasion. Instead, Trump applied layered pressure—sanctions, financial isolation, shipping pressure, airspace constraints, and diplomatic leverage. The regime remained, but authority shifted. Compliance followed without regime change.
Greenland follows the same logic. Trump does not speak of conquest. He speaks of inevitability, leverage, and responsibility. Pressure first. Control next. Arrangements later.
These are not isolated cases. They reveal a governing pattern.
Iron Mixed With Clay: The Internal Condition of America
Daniel’s statue is not only a timeline. It is a diagnosis.
The final phase is iron mixed with clay—strength outward, fragility inward.
The clay is not external. The clay is inside America.
It is internal fracture accompanying global power: political polarization so severe that elections become existential battles; riots in the streets; institutions turned against one another; cultural warfare; economic strain; and a national debt now exceeding $38.5 trillion. This internal brittleness does not cancel American power, but it limits its endurance.
Iron can dominate, deter, sanction, strike, and reorganize the map. Clay cannot bind. Clay fractures under stress and resists cohesion.
Trump governs like iron in a clay society. Iron can act. Clay struggles to hold. Enemies understand this. Iran waits, hoping internal fracture interrupts external pressure.
Iron can begin the operation. Clay can interrupt it.
That is the danger Daniel identified.
The Stone Cut Without Hands
Daniel’s vision does not end with iron managing the world indefinitely. He sees a stone cut without hands strike the statue at its feet. The entire system collapses, not because one empire defeats another, but because human power reaches its limit.
Trump is not building that kingdom. He is operating within the logic of the iron empire—restoring order, enforcing hierarchy, and enabling outcomes through power. Scripture shows that God often uses empires as instruments, even when they do not recognize Him.
Final Conclusion
Trump is not improvising. He is reviving an older form of statecraft that modern systems forgot how to read.
That is why critics call him chaotic. That is why allies feel uneasy. That is why adversaries hesitate.
Empires never survived by being liked. They survived by being understood and feared.
And history, once again, is moving according to patterns that were revealed long ago—until the day the stone falls, and the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.

They Are All Part Of One Big Club And You Should Be Thankful That You Aren’t In It
February 4, 2026
Has anyone ever been more connected than Jeffrey Epstein? That is a serious question. Personally, I have never heard of anyone that has spent more time socializing with the rich and famous than Epstein. We are told that he was some sort of a financier, but in reality he seemed to spend almost all of his time hanging out with his elitist friends. Prior to being convicted, Jeffrey Epstein was a pillar of the New York social scene. Everyone wanted to know him, and that included many of the most powerful men in the world.
In those days, Bill Gates frequently spent time with Epstein.
But now Gates is trying to distance himself from Epstein as much as possible, and he is still insisting that he was not involved in anything inappropriate…
The billionaire continued: ‘You know, in retrospect that was a dead end and I was foolish to spend time with him. I am one of many people who regret ever knowing him.
‘Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent. The email is, you know, false.
‘I don’t know what his thinking was there. Every minute that I spent with him, I regret and I apologise that I did that.
‘I was only at dinners… I never went to the island, I never met any women, and so, you know, the more that comes out, the more clear it’ll be, that although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior.’
Perhaps Gates is telling the truth.
And perhaps all of the other ultra-wealthy men that were close to Epstein in those days are telling the truth.
But Epstein’s victims are telling us a very different story.
One letter that was just released in the latest batch of Epstein files contains some very alarming allegations about Prince Andrew…
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein asked an exotic dancer to “engage in various sex acts” at the late convicted sex offender’s Florida home, a legal letter claims.
In a letter released as part of the latest tranche of Epstein files, the unnamed woman’s lawyers said she had been offered $10,000 to dance and that after she performed Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor had asked for a threesome.
Lawyers said the woman had not been paid the promised amount and would keep the alleged 2006 encounter in which she was “treated like a prostitute” confidential in exchange for a payment of $250,000.
Of course this incident pales in comparison to what Prince Andrew is alleged to have done with an underage girl named Virginia Giuffre.
And we probably shouldn’t even talk about what Prince Andrew is alleged to have done in Thailand.
It appears that this latest allegation was the final straw, because Prince Andrew has been kicked out of his home even sooner than anticipated…
SHAMED ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has skulked out of Royal Lodge under the cover of darkness to start his exile.
The former Duke of York is understood to have been booted out earlier than planned after his brother King Charles became increasingly concerned with shocking revelations.
If you or I had done the things that Prince Andrew is alleged to have done, we would be sitting in prison right now.
But I seriously doubt that Prince Andrew will ever be charged with anything.
In addition to rubbing elbows with royalty, Jeffrey Epstein was apparently also very close with the Rothschilds.
In fact, the name “Rothschild” appears more than 12,000 times in the latest batch of files that was just released…
Somehow we are supposed to believe that even though these elitists spent so much time with Epstein over the years, none of them had any idea what he was doing with underage girls.
In addition to abusing underage girls, Epstein was also apparently getting at least some of them pregnant…
But in a separate diary entry from an unnamed source, one Epstein victim claims to have delivered a baby girl in 2002 at the age of just 16 or 17.
The document includes a copy of a pregnancy scan showing 20 weeks’ gestation.
The female claims her child was taken away from her just 10 minutes after giving birth, the documents suggest.
She also alleged Epstein’s former accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell oversaw the ordeal.
The victim writes: “She was born, I heard her cries!
Some news outlets are running stories about Epstein’s “secret children”, and it appears that those children were part of an incredibly sick plot by Epstein to “seed the human race with his DNA”…
While Little Saint James Island, infamously known as Pedophile, Rape, and Epstein Island, has received the bulk of attention in the fallout from the cover-up of Epstein’s crimes, his Zorro Ranch property is another centerpiece of the crimes committed by his criminal network. Located in the high desert north of the Estancia Basin of central New Mexico, where Epstein was not required to register as a sex offender following his 2008 plea deal in Florida, the sprawling 7,600-acre ranch hosted numerous parties implicated in Epstein’s crimes. Epstein reportedly organized the ranch as the headquarters for his eugenic plot to “seed the human race with his DNA” by impregnating countless women and underaged victims on the property. Victim Annie Farmer, alleges that Epstein and his prime accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, sexually abused her at the ranch when she was just 16-years-old.
Zorro Ranch is located in the middle of nowhere, and it has an airstrip that Epstein would use to fly directly to the property…
Shockingly, Epstein would bring some of his most important friends to this ranch.
That even included Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton.
We are being told that they liked to stay “in a cowboy-themed village created by Epstein a mile south of the main house of the ranch”…
Following Epstein’s arrest and supposed death in 2019, allegations surfaced that Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton were also frequent visitors at the Zorro Ranch. During their visits, the Clintons would stay in a cowboy-themed village created by Epstein a mile south of the main house of the ranch. These accusations were based on information taken from reports made by security consultant Jared Kellogg, who was brought in by Zorro Ranch manager Brice Gordon to improve security on the property. The reports came to light after being released by the Zorro Ranch estate following Epstein’s alleged demise. Kellogg also stated that during his meetings with Gordon, the ranch manager bragged about how often the Clintons visited the compound. “Brice [Gordon] would be bragging about how the Clintons would visit, the whole family. Not just Bill, but Bill, his wife, and their kid, and they would stay on the ranch itself.” Kellogg stated.
How did Jeffrey Epstein get access to so many rich and powerful people?
And where did his money come from in the first place?
There are so many unanswered questions.
And since it appears that it is extremely unlikely that Epstein’s rich and powerful friends will ever be charged with anything, we will probably never get any solid answers.

The "New START" Treaty Has EXPIRED; No More Treaties Against Nuclear Bomb Deployment
Hal Turner World February 05, 2026 Hits: 11198
The "New START" Treaty Expired at midnight. It was the final remaining treaty limiting further development and deployment of nuclear bombs.
Now, both the USA and Russia are now free to build and deploy additional or newer Atomic/Hydrogen Bombs. The world is less safe today than it was yesterday.
Months ago, Russia publicly mentioned the New START Treaty would be expiring, and offered a one year extension of it. The U.S. never bothered to respond.
Last night, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chair of Russia's Federation Council, posted this on social media:
Did you catch the image and its phrase "Winter is Coming"? Does that mean nuclear winter?

Anti-Abraham Accords? Turkey, Saudi Arabia & Egypt appear aligned against Israeli regional influence
Defense and trade agreements between Turkey and Arab nations reduce dependence on US
J. Micah Hancock | Published: February 6, 2026
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made back-to-back visits to Saudi Arabia and Egypt over two days this week, seeking to expand Turkish influence in the Middle East and North Africa.
Erdoğan met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on Wednesday, where the two countries signed cooperation agreements and voiced shared positions on several regional issues, including Gaza, Somaliland, and tensions between the United States and Iran.
Following the meeting, el-Sisi presented several memoranda of understanding and agreements that had been signed across a broad range of issues, including defense, tourism, investment, trade, health, and agriculture.
Ties between the two countries remained strained after the 2013 ouster of Mohamed Morsi and Egypt’s subsequent crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, a period during which Erdoğan’s government backed Morsi and sharply criticized el-Sisi.
However, growing concern over the strength of Israel and its willingness to engage in independent security operations, often without regard for national borders, has led the leaders of Turkey and Egypt to increasingly cooperate against what they perceived as Israeli military ascendancy in the region as a result of the Oct. 7 Gaza War and the 12-day Israel-Iran War last June.
The two leaders issued statements on Gaza, Sudan, Somaliland and Iran that demonstrated a unified stance, particularly against Israel.
In a joint declaration following the meeting, both governments affirmed their commitment to Syria’s sovereignty, unity, stability, and territorial integrity. They also condemned what they stated were Israeli violations of Syria’s sovereignty and integrity, stressing the need for Israel to adhere to the 1974 disengagement agreement.
Erdoğan’s trip to Cairo came one day after a similar visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the de facto leader of the kingdom. In that meeting, the two leaders spoke about their alignment on various regional issues, particularly the rejection of the IDF's actions in Syria and Israel's recognition of Somaliland.
The two leaders also announced their decision to “strengthen their cooperation” in several areas, including energy and defense. In particular, Saudi Arabia and Turkey may cooperate on the development of Turkey’s next-generation Kaan stealth fighter. Turkey has not only been pursuing the development of the aircraft as insurance against the possibility of being completely rejected from participating in the U.S.’s F-35 program, but also as proof of Turkey’s capabilities.
“Kaan is not just a fighter jet. Kaan is a symbol of Turkey’s engineering capabilities and independent defense will,” Erdoğan said in a statement, cited by The Daily Sabah.
While U.S. President Donald Trump has told both Saudi Arabia and Turkey he would work to enable their purchase of the American-made F-35, the final decision rests with Congress, and there is bipartisan caution about granting the countries access to the fifth-generation fighter. Developing their own stealth aircraft would allow both nations to modernize their air forces while reducing reliance on the U.S. as an arms supplier.
According to Dr. Galia Lindenstrauss, senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), Turkey has worked to improve relations with various countries in the region, partially to counter Israeli power and reduce its own dependence on the United States.
Lindenstrauss told Israel's Ynet News, “Turkey has become a significant arms exporter, especially of drones, and Saudi Arabia actually not only buys drones from it, but they also do security cooperation to produce drones.” She said, “This fits into the agenda of the countries in the region who do not want to be dependent on the US and are a little afraid of going towards China and Russia and of an American counter-reaction.”
She also noted the desire on the part of these three countries, along with other regional actors, to place a restraint on Israeli military power.
“The war against Iran was perceived by all these countries as a dangerous [expression of] Israeli power, and therefore, there is a desire to restrain Israel,” Lindenstrauss said. “There is also the story of Israel's recognition of Somaliland, which both Saudi Arabia and Egypt are unhappy with, each in its own way. The most unhappy is Turkey, but also Saudi Arabia and Egypt.”
According to Lindenstrauss, Turkey is eager to present itself as the solution for growing Israeli power and projection in the region.
"There is a convergence of interests here between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt that has not been there for a long time,” she noted. “This is a gathering against the policies of the UAE and Israel in the region, and also the story of the Turkish defense industry as one that provides a potential solution to the challenges of the countries.”
Last month, Murat Yesiltas, director of Security Studies at the SETA Foundation and a member of the Turkish Presidency’s Security and Foreign Policies Council, told Middle East Eye that Turkey is looking to deepen military cooperation with several nations in order to strengthen deterrence.
“The political posture on this issue naturally creates deterrence,” he said.
Yesiltas said Turkey would seek to strengthen ties with Egypt this year as shared interests between the two countries continue to grow.
He also predicted, “Saudi Arabia and Egypt could step forward and help stabilize the region.”
Additionally, Yesiltas noted that countries in the region are likely to view Israel as the main challenge to their interests.
Kadir Temiz, chairman of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (Orsam), echoed this assessment, telling Middle East Eye that regional actors do not want Israel and the United States to be the only ones shaping the security framework in the region.
Erdoğan's visits to Cairo and Riyadh, therefore, appear aimed at building a regional alliance that counters the dynamics created by the Abraham Accords.

California hit by TWENTY SECOND earthquake in less than 10 hours
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 17:23 EST, 2 February 2026 | Updated: 19:27 EST, 2 February 2026
A California city experienced an explosion of earthquakes on Monday
The US Geological Survey (USGS) has recorded 22 tremors outside of San Ramon, with the latest striking at 5:06pm ET.
The seismic activity kicked off with a magnitude 3.8 quake at 9:27am ET. A magnitude 4.2 earthquake was detected at 10:01am ET, which sent noticeable shockwaves to nearby San Francisco, Sacramento and San Jose.
Despite considerable shaking throughout the Bay Area, there have been no reports of injuries or property damage at this time.
Residents in San Francisco's Glen Park and Nopa neighborhoods reported rumbling and 'windows rattling' during the quake, and public transportation throughout the area has also affected by the swarm, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
San Ramon lies atop the Calaveras Fault, a major branch fault of the broader San Andreas Fault System, sparking fears the main fault line could be closer to a major rupture that locals refer to as 'the Big One.'
According to a USGS report, there is a 95 percent probability that at least one major quake, stronger than magnitude 6.7, will strike somewhere in the region by 2043.
A magnitude 6.7 earthquake on the Calaveras Fault would be classified as a major seismic event capable of causing significant damage in densely populated East Bay communities.
By comparison, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, a magnitude M6.9, widely labeled 'the Big One' at the time, caused widespread destruction, and the USGS uses the 6.7 threshold when discussing the long-term probability of a 'Big One' in the Bay Area.
The initial magnitude 3.8 quake was centered just 16 miles from Concord, 18 miles from Oakland, and 29 miles from San Jose, which are three of the most populated communities in the Bay Area, home to more than 1.5 million people.
Meanwhile, San Francisco, which sits just across the bay from where the seismic swarm took place, has a population of more than 800,000 residents.
Despite considerable shaking throughout the Bay Area, there have been no reports of injuries or property damage at this time.
Still, Monday's noticeable swarm broke out right on the Calaveras Fault, a main branch of the San Andreas - the monstrous 800-mile-long fault spanning from Southern California through the Bay Area and into the Pacific.
The Calaveras splits off from the main fault line near Hollister in central California and runs parallel to it through the East Bay region.
Scientists with the USGS have warned that one of these faults or other major branches nearby could soon reach their anticipated breaking point and rupture right in the heart of California.

U.S. Applauds Ruling Against China Contracts at Panama Canal
By Christian K. Caruzo 2 Feb 2026
U.S. Ambassador to Panama Kevin Cabrera over the weekend emphasized in an official statement that the recent ruling from Panama’s Supreme Court nullifying two Canal port contracts awarded to a China-linked company strongly affirms the rule of law.
Cabrera indicated that the ruling confirms Panama’s independent judiciary “enforces legal compliance, transparency, and public-interest obligations – holding all private operators accountable.”
“This ruling strengthens Panama’s national security and investment climate by boosting predictability, fairness, and legal confidence. Investors gain assurance that valid contracts are protected and improper ones corrected, making Panama more attractive for quality, long-term investment,” the statement read.
“The decision enables a review of port governance and transparent, competitive processes to attract world-class investors that bring innovation, efficiency, quality jobs, and reinforce Panama’s role as a leading logistics hub,” the statement continued. “We respect Panama’s right to regulate and protect its critical infrastructure under its laws. This outcome enhances the integrity of Panama’s legal framework and supports sustainable, rule-based economic growth.”
On Thursday, Panama’s top court ruled that two contracts signed in 1997 between the Panamanian state and Panama Ports Company (PPC), a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Hutchison Port Holdings, were unconstitutional. The controversial contracts granted PPC a 25-year lease for the development and administration of two ports at opposite ends of the Panama Canal, one is located at the province of Balboa and the other in Cristóbal. The now-nullified lease had been automatically renewed for an additional 25-year period in 2021.
PPC’s control of the two ports has been widely described by international outlets as an example of the growing influence of China’s communist regime in the important interoceanic trade route. The controversial contracts were at the center of an ongoing debate started by President Donald Trump shortly before the start of his second term over China’s alleged growing influence and control of the Panama Canal.
The Panamanian newspaper La Prensa reported on Monday that the two ports handled nearly 40 percent of all container cargo traffic transiting through the Canal.
The Supreme Court’s ruling follows a roughly one-year-old process that started in February 2025 after the nation’s Attorney General Luis Carlos Gómez determined that the PPC contracts for the Balboa and Cristóbal ports presented numerous violations and irregularities that gave the company “disproportionate rights” over the management of the ports. Gómez suggested that the top court declared the two contracts as unconstitutional. Months later, in April, Comptroller General of Panama Anel Flores started a criminal complaint process against PPC, accusing it of causing roughly $1.2 billion in financial damages to the country as well as several instances of breach of contract.
Flores presented a lawsuit against the contracts in July 2025 leading to last week’s Supreme Court ruling declaring both the original 1997 contracts and their 2021 renewals as unconstitutional.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio celebrated the ruling through a brief social media post indicating that the United States is “encouraged” by the top court’s decision against the China-linked contracts. America’s celebratory stance toward the rulings heavily contrasts that of Chinese authorities, who have heavily criticized the Panamanian top court’s decision.
PPC criticized the ruling shortly after the Supreme Court’s announcement, claiming that it “lacks legal basis” and is “inconsistent” with the legal framework of the original 1997 contract. Hours later, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said that “China will take all measures necessary to firmly protect the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies.”
According to the Chinese state-owned Global Times, a Hong Kong government spokesperson condemned the ruling, and said that the HK government “strongly opposes any foreign government’s use of coercion, pressure or other unreasonable means in international economic and trade relations, stressing that such actions seriously undermine the lawful business operations and legitimate rights of Hong Kong enterprises in the locality.
“Such moves will also severely damage the local business environment, inevitably shake investor confidence, and harm bilateral relations as well as the long-term economic development of both sides,” the spokesperson reportedly said.
La Prensa reported over the weekend that APM Terminals, a subsidiary of Danish shipping company Maersk, will temporarily take control of the two ports from PPC until authorities determine the structure and terms of a new lease agreement. PPC will administer the ports until the ruling is executed.
“We’ve made clear China’s position on relevant ports in Panama. China will firmly safeguard the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies,” Chinese Foreign Minister Spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters on Monday when asked for comment on Maersk’s comment on the developing situation.

This is how American students learn to hate Israel
Picture of Moshe Phillips
Moshe Phillips February 2, 2026 3 min read
Among the most shocking developments in America since October 7, 2023 is the surge of anti-Israel sentiment being taught in public school classrooms, heard from teachers’ unions, and seen at local school board meetings.
A serious study by the group Stand With Us revealed that over 60% of Jewish educators in the U.S. disclosed that they have experienced antisemitism at work, including from teachers’ unions.
As if to underscore the StandWithUs report, a San Diego rabbi made headlines when he was disinvited from giving a benediction at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) “due to his connection to Israel.”
Since the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, a line has been drawn—between those who unequivocally condemn terrorism and those who equivocate. Tragically, the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)—the two largest teachers’ unions in the United States—have positioned themselves on the wrong side of that line. Through public statements, internal resolutions, and targeted votes, these unions have betrayed the moral clarity demanded by such atrocities.
The NEA’s decision at its 2025 Representative Assembly to adopt “New Business Item 39,” which commits the NEA to “not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)” or participate in its programs, cuts off essential tools in combating antisemitism. To reject collaboration largely based on ideological grievance—particularly at a time when antisemitism has been rising since October 7—is indefensible.
Resolution proposals and statements from the NEA and AFT downplay Hamas’s October 7 campaign of mass murder, rape, and kidnapping, or portray Israeli conduct as morally equivalent to the terrorists they are fighting. The AFT has described an “occupation” when Israel unilaterally left Gaza in 2005 and often frames Israeli actions as unprovoked rather than fully acknowledging the initial terrorist invasion and the ongoing hostage crisis.
In July, the AFT launched the “AFT Disaster Relief Fund for Gaza Humanitarian Aid” without mentioning a single word about the suffering of Israeli families.
Also in July, the NEA made headlines for a new handbook that failed to mention Jews among the 12 million victims of the Holocaust. Simultaneously, the handbook described Israel’s founding as a “Nakba” (catastrophe) and falsely claimed a “forced, violent displacement and dispossession of at least 750,000 Palestinians.”
Through these votes and statements, the NEA and AFT are not merely failing to provide real moral leadership—they are complicit in advancing narratives that dehumanize and delegitimize. In war, there are always tragedies and complexities. But there are also clear violations of human rights—and choosing ambiguity or selective outrage in the face of those is a choice. It is a morally bankrupt one.
What is the source of all this anti-Israel extremism? One major influence is Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the United States. Zinn was a vocal critic of Israel who portrayed the Jewish state as a colonial aggressor and routinely framed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in starkly one-sided, anti-Israel terms. In his 2002 essay “The Others,” Zinn likened Israeli policies toward Palestinians to apartheid and American racism, accusing Israel of “ethnic cleansing” while largely ignoring terrorism and Israel’s security concerns. Zinn’s work is widely assigned in teacher preparation programs, shaping a worldview in which Western democracies—Israel included—are seen as oppressors by default. His legacy continues to normalize anti-Israel bias among far too many American educators, contributing to the erosion of moral clarity around antisemitism, terrorism, and Israel’s right to self-defense.
Zinn said in a 2010 interview with Moment Magazine that “I think the Jewish State was a mistake, yes. (…) At the time, I thought creating Israel was a good thing, but in retrospect, it was probably the worst thing that the Jews could have done.”
Rethinking Schools—a far-left education journal and publishing enterprise—distributes radical classroom materials nationwide through the “Zinn Education Project” and is just one of many anti-Israel efforts aimed at teachers that needs to be exposed. This project uses Zinn’s arguments, depicting U.S. and Israeli history primarily through the lens of colonialism and racism, to shape classroom narratives. Rethinking Schools regularly publishes lesson plans and articles that mirror Zinn’s ideologically based approach, reinforcing anti-Israel perspectives in K–12 education. In doing so, it amplifies Zinn’s influence over generations of leftist teachers.
The extremists at Rethinking Schools are hyper-focused on Israel. Recently, they devoted two issues, including cover stories, to attacking Zionism and Israel, in 2025, published a book titled Teaching Palestine. This is not a new phenomenon—anti-Israel articles in the magazine date back to at least 2016.
Lauren Steinberg is Managing Director, Campus and K–12 Engagement and Strategic Initiatives for the Jewish Federations of North America, and commented at the end of 2025 that “Some union spaces have become toxic even for Jewish teachers.” The JFNA is hardly known as alarmist in nature.
When the history of the post–October 7 explosion of Israel-bashing and antisemitism on American college campuses is written, historians will not need to look far to understand how students were radicalized against Israel before ever stepping into a college lecture hall.
What teachers teach must be monitored. There is no alternative. We are now witnessing the consequences of failing to do so.
Moshe Phillips is the national chairman of Americans For A Safe Israel, AFSI, (www.AFSI.org), a leading pro-Israel advocacy and education organization.

Pastor Jailed, Bound, and Exiled for Refusing Catholic Ritual in Mexico
Tré Goins-Phillips
01-29-2026
A Protestant pastor in Mexico was detained and ultimately exiled by his uncle from his community in the state of Oaxaca after refusing to kneel and pray to a Roman Catholic saint during a local festival in mid-January.
Last year, Mariano Velásquez Martínez, pastor of the 25-member Iglesia Camino Nuevo y Vivo, was assigned the role of mayordomo, the person tasked with organizing and facilitating religious rites in a community. The role is traditionally held by adherents to Roman Catholicism, the predominant religion in Mexico.
According to the U.K.-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), Martínez begrudgingly agreed to take on the role with the understanding he would only be required to provide candles and flowers. However, on Jan. 15, he was reportedly ordered to light candles and then kneel before an image of St. James the Apostle.
The evangelical pastor refused to do so on religious grounds, explaining it would violate his Protestant beliefs, which led another mayordomo to report Martínez to local authorities, who jailed the preacher — a native of Oaxaca — for five days.
After his detention, Martínez was bound with rope and taken before an assembly of roughly 180 men — including his uncle and his cousin — where he was forced to sign a vaguely worded document confirming his expulsion from the community. The pastor was not given a copy of the paper and fears it could be used in the future to suggest he left the community of Santiago Malacatepec voluntarily.
Martínez, his wife, and their 3-month-old baby have since fled the area and are living with relatives in Oaxaca City.
Pablo Vargas, CSW country director for Mexico, told CBN News this case is part of a “culture” and “pattern” in Mexico of religious persecution against evangelical Christians.
“Some persons, they decide to not follow the majority religion, and they suffer the consequences,” he explained. “For the community, it’s more important, the uniformity, than actually the practical right for the persons to believe [as they choose].”
Vargas asserted that, even if Martínez seeks legal recourse, it would not be safe for him and his family to return to Santiago Malacatepec. In fact, in cases like this, he said, the vast majority of those who face persecution never return home because local outrage against them makes living there too perilous.
“His life is gonna be at risk,” he said.

Historic Gold & Silver Plunge As Banks Cover Short Positions
January 30, 2026
On the heels of a historic plunge in gold and silver with banks covering massive short positions. Here is a look at the aftermath of the carnage.
January 30 (King World News) – Eric King: “Alasdair, I would just point out the bright spot today was energy on the upside. They vacuumed oil down several times today and all it did was turn around and go up. So the big bull market in oil is upon us.
As far as silver and everybody that’s discouraged right now, it’s better to get these things over with quickly. It’s like ripping off a bandaid — just do it and end it. I’m looking at silver down 28.62%, that’s unbelievable. That is true crash mode. So we might be seeing the lows here. It’s possible we could drift lower, anything is possible.
But as Alasdair mentioned, they were probably abusing the price on the downside as much as possible to get their short positions covered. We’ll see how it plays out next week but don’t be discouraged. This is a long bull market. Graddhy’s target for oil is $369 and he has a target on gold of $48,000. And then for silver, who knows? It will be up in the stratosphere. So hang in there and don’t be too discouraged.” Alasdair Macleod: to listen to Alasdair Macleod discuss what to expect next after today’s gold and silver takedown CLICK HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

U.S. tests Minuteman III ballistic missile to demonstrate nuclear force readiness
The launch helps to “validate and verify the safety, security, effectiveness, and readiness of the weapon system,” the military said.
Aug. 16, 2022, 11:33 AM EDT By Kurt Chirbas and Minyvonne Burke
The U.S. military said it tested an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile Tuesday to "validate and verify" the nuclear weapon system’s effectiveness and safety.
The test was conducted at 12:49 a.m. PT from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California.
"These test launches demonstrate the readiness of U.S. nuclear forces and provide confidence in the lethality and effectiveness of the nation’s nuclear deterrent," said Col. Bryan Titus, vice commander of Space Launch Delta 30.
The military said in a statement that the launch helped to "validate and verify the safety, security, effectiveness, and readiness of the weapon system."
Minuteman missiles have formed the core of the U.S. land-based nuclear capability for 60 years. Tuesday's test was delayed this month to avoid increasing tensions with China over Taiwan. China had launched several military exercises in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the Beijing-claimed island on Aug. 2.
A test launch was also canceled in April over concerns that Russian President Vladimir Putin would view it as escalatory amid Russia's attack on Ukraine.
"The Department of the Air Force recently cancelled the routinely planned test flight of an LGM-30G Minuteman III missile," the Defense Department’s deputy press secretary, Todd Breasseale, said at the time. "The launch had been previously delayed due to an overabundance of caution to avoid misinterpretation or miscommunication during the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine."
The Air Force generally tests four Minuteman III rockets a year, planned out months and sometimes years in advance. Canceling or postponing a test because of concerns a launch could be provocative is very rare.

Iran Threatens To Sink The USS Abraham Lincoln As The Middle East Edges Closer To A Cataclysmic Showdown
January 26, 2026
The United States has gathered more firepower in the Middle East than we have ever seen before. It exceeds anything that we witnessed during Operation Desert Storm, it exceeds anything that we witnessed during the war in Afghanistan, and it exceeds anything that we witnessed during the war in Iraq. That doesn’t necessarily mean that war is imminent. President Trump could ultimately decide not to pull the trigger. But without a doubt, at this moment we are exceedingly close to a cataclysmic showdown in the Middle East.
It is being reported that the USS Abraham Lincoln has officially arrived in the Middle East…
The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its three accompanying warships have sailed into the Middle East region, providing President Trump additional military firepower if he decides to strike Iran.
The USS Abraham Lincoln, which is equipped with Mk 57 Mod3 Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missile launchers and can carry squadrons of bombers and early warning planes, and its strike group are in the U.S. Central Command (Centcom) area, which encompasses the Middle East region, the command confirmed Monday.
The addition of the carrier in the region comes as Trump warned Thursday that the U.S. is sending an “armada” toward Iran following nationwide protests in the country, where thousands of demonstrators have been killed by authorities.
Some of us have been carefully tracking the movements of the USS Abraham Lincoln in recent days.
Once the protests in Iran got really crazy, this carrier was redeployed from the Indian Ocean, and it has a maximum capacity of 90 aircraft…
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is hauling five squadrons of strike fighters, with a max capacity of 90 aircraft.
These include F/A-18 Super Hornets, F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters and EA-18G Growler radar jammers — along with Osprey tilt-rotor transports and MH-60S Seahawk helicopters.
Of course the USS Abraham Lincoln is not traveling alone.
It is being accompanied by three guided-missile destroyers that are “fully loaded with Tomahawk cruise missiles”…
The Lincoln is not alone; it hunts with a wolfpack. It is flanked by three guided-missile destroyers: USS Spruance, USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., and USS Michael Murphy. These ships are fully loaded with Tomahawk cruise missiles, ready for immediate launch orders.
This battle group is just the latest addition to the growing amount of firepower that the U.S. has accumulated in the region.
If the U.S. attacks Iran, the Iranians have already warned that the USS Abraham Lincoln will be a primary target.
In fact, the Iranians just released a shocking video that simulates what it would look like if an Iranian ballistic missile were to destroy the carrier…
Iran’s state-run Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization has released a propaganda video that purports to simulate how Iran’s Fattah ballistic missile could split the USS Abraham Lincoln in two in a potential conflict with the US, as the carrier strike group enters Mideast.
They are openly threatening to sink the Abraham Lincoln.
And it appears that they have the ability to do that.
In addition to the various missiles that they possess, the Iranians could also potentially use drones…
Cameron Chell, CEO and co-founder of Draganfly, warned that Iran’s growing reliance on low-cost unmanned systems poses a credible danger to high-value U.S. naval assets, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group.
“Iran’s drone capabilities are worth well into the tens of millions of dollars,” Chell told Fox News Digital.
“By pairing low-cost warheads with inexpensive delivery platforms, essentially remotely piloted aircraft, Iran has developed an effective asymmetric threat against highly sophisticated military systems.”
One drone would not be a problem for the Abraham Lincoln.
But if the Iranians sent hundreds of drones at the Abraham Lincoln all at once, the ship’s defenses could be overwhelmed…
Chell said Iran can launch large numbers of relatively unsophisticated drones directly at naval vessels, creating saturation attacks that could overwhelm traditional defenses.
“If hundreds are launched in a short period of time, some are almost certain to get through,” Chell said.
“Modern defense systems were not originally designed to counter that kind of saturation attack. For U.S. surface vessels operating near Iran, warships are prime targets.”
In addition to missiles and drones, the Iranians also possess large numbers of small attack vessels.
According to Defense News, many of them have now been deployed “across the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman”…
Iran has launched its most visible naval mobilization in years across the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, deploying a dense concentration of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vessels as a U.S. carrier strike group advances toward the region. Satellite imagery, maritime tracking data and regional security reporting indicate that Tehran is signaling readiness for confrontation at the world’s most critical energy chokepoint, even as both sides warn of the danger of miscalculation.
Western defense analysts say the IRGC Navy has surged Iranian-flagged ships linked to the Guards into key waterways, including waters adjacent to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and along the approaches to the Strait of Hormuz. The deployments follow a week of Iranian missile drills involving both ballistic and cruise systems, and come amid sharp rhetoric from senior commanders declaring that Iranian forces are “more ready than ever.”
During the 12-Day War, the Iranians did not hit us with everything that they have got.
This time around, it would be completely different.
On Saturday, General Mohammad Pakpour warned that Iran has its “finger on the trigger”…
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commander on Saturday said the country has its “finger on the trigger” at the U.S. after President Trump said an “armada” will head toward the Middle East.
“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard and dear Iran stand more ready than ever, finger on the trigger, to execute the orders and directives of the Commander-in-Chief,” Gen. Mohammad Pakpour said according to Nournews, a news outlet with ties to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
And one Iranian official just told Reuters that if Iran is attacked “we will respond in the hardest way possible to settle this”…
Iranian officials said over the weekend that they are prepared to retaliate if attacked by the US.
Speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, an official said: ‘This military build-up – we hope it is not intended for real confrontation – but our military is ready for the worst-case scenario. This is why everything is on high alert in Iran.’
He then delivered a warning to Washington, adding: ‘This time we will treat any attack – limited, unlimited, surgical, kinetic, whatever they call it – as an all-out war against us, and we will respond in the hardest way possible to settle this.’
What did he mean by “hardest way possible”?
Was he suggesting that Iran could actually use unconventional weapons?
Let’s hope not.
As I write this, even the slightest miscalculation could set the entire region ablaze.
At this stage, there is even speculation that Iran could launch some sort of a preemptive strike…
Israeli security officials describe Iran as potentially operating under a “use it or lose it” doctrine. Fearing that a sudden U.S. “decapitation strike” could neutralize its missile forces before they are launched, Iranian commanders may be weighing an early salvo against Israel—the United States’ closest regional ally—to ensure retaliation capability.
If the Iranians believe that an attack is inevitable, they may just pull the trigger first.
And Hezbollah is telling us that they will join the fight if war breaks out…
Hezbollah has warned that its enemies will ‘taste the bitterest forms of death’ if Donald Trump strikes its backer, Iran.
Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi paramilitary group with links to the better-known Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, issued the fiery warning on Sunday, calling on its fighters to prepare for a possible ‘total war’.
Abu Hussein al‑Hamidawi, the group’s chief, claimed the ‘forces of darkness’ are gathering to destroy Iran, adding: ‘We affirm to the enemies that war against the [Islamic] Republic will not be a walk in the park.
‘But rather, you will taste the bitterest forms of death, and nothing will remain of you in our region.’
Speaking of Hezbollah, the IDF just conducted more than 20 airstrikes on targets in southern Lebanon…
Southern areas of Lebanon were subjected to massive attacks by Israeli Air Force fighter jets, which delivered no less than 23 strikes against ground targets, the news portal Naharnet stated.
Airstrikes were reportedly carried out on the mountainous Jabbur area and the Wadi Barguz gorge, where attempts by militants of the Shiite militia Hezbollah to restore their military infrastructure were recorded.
This should be big news.
Why is the mainstream media in the western world so quiet about this?
We really are on the verge of a cataclysmic showdown in the Middle East.
President Trump warned the Iranians not to kill protesters.
But then the Iranians shut down the Internet for the Iranian population and proceeded to slaughter more than 33,000 protesters…
It comes after it was revealed last night that more than 33,000 protesters had been killed in Iran following the regime’s brutal crackdown on anti-government demonstrations, Time reports, quoting two senior officials working for the country’s Ministry of Health.
The death toll from the anti-government protests, which began on December 28, was previously estimated to be between 16,500 and 18,000.
Alongside the death toll, 97,645 have been wounded, with 30 per cent suffering eye injuries, according to research by Professor Amir-Mobarez Parasta.
We have never seen a slaughter of protesters of this magnitude.
The Iranians clearly crossed the red line that President Trump had established.
Now the U.S. has accumulated an unprecedented amount of firepower in the region, and one expert is warning that “the indicators suggest that planning has moved beyond contingency and into executable readiness”…
A newly circulated strategic assessment by regional military analyst Talal Nahle has intensified speculation that the United States and its allies are nearing a decisive military inflection point with Iran, as unprecedented force concentrations across air and naval domains point to preparations far exceeding a limited or symbolic operation.
The report, updated early Monday following the release of the latest NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) at 02:31 UTC, highlights what Nahle describes as a “deafening silence” — a lack of change in Iranian firing-zone declarations — combined with a vast and measurable coalition order of battle. Together, the indicators suggest that planning has moved beyond contingency and into executable readiness.
“This is no longer the language of speculation,” Nahle wrote. “It is the language of numbers that do not lie.”
According to Nahle, the U.S. could potentially launch more than 1,000 missiles “in a single or closely sequenced salvo”…
At the center of the assessment is the presence of 1,018 Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells deployed aboard U.S. destroyers and other surface combatants operating within strike range of Iran.
According to the analysis, this configuration provides the U.S. Navy with the ability to launch over 1,000 cruise or air-defense missiles — primarily Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles — in a single or closely sequenced salvo.
Military planners note that such volumes are designed for missile saturation, a doctrine that overwhelms even advanced air-defense networks through sheer scale. In this scenario, Iranian radar installations, air bases, command nodes and missile platforms could be targeted simultaneously across the country, compressing the defender’s response window to minutes.
Now that the USS Abraham Lincoln is in the region, the last piece of the puzzle is finally in place.
If President Trump gives the order, missiles will start flying back and forth all over the Middle East.
For the Iranians, the USS Abraham Lincoln would be a really juicy target.
Could you imagine how the American people would react if images of a burning aircraft carrier suddenly appeared on our television screens?
It would be quite a shock.
We are just inches away from a nightmare scenario, and once the fighting begins nobody is going to be able to stop it.

America's earthquake hotspot is more dangerous than feared as scientists make surprising discovery
READ MORE: Prophecy from apocalyptic 'messiah' warns of death so widespread 'even birds won't escape'
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 13:32 EST, 27 January 2026 | Updated: 17:39 EST, 27 January 2026
Scientists studying Northern California have uncovered previously hidden fault lines, raising alarms that seismic risk in the region may be underestimated.
For decades, the Mendocino triple junction was believed to be where three tectonic plates meet: the San Andreas Fault ending in the north, the Cascadia Subduction Zone in the south, and the Mendocino Fault in the east.
Because three major fault systems converge there, the area is one of the most active earthquake zones in the US and could produce a magnitude 8.0 quake.
Now, researchers have discovered that the junction actually contains at least five tectonic plates or fragments deep below the surface, making the region far more complex than previously thought.
That means there may be an unaccounted earthquake hazard in the area, and current models could be underestimating the true risk.
Because the junction lies off the coast and influences both the San Andreas and Cascadia systems, revisions to the model could affect risk calculations for millions of people along the West Coast.
Scientists compared the new findings to an iceberg, where most of the structure remains hidden below the surface.
Geophysicist Amanda Thomas of the University of California, Davis, said: “If we don’t understand the underlying tectonic processes, it’s hard to predict the seismic hazard.”
This discovery shows that the underground fault structure is more complicated than scientists thought.
If the models don’t include these hidden faults, they may underestimate how much stress is building up underground.
That means a larger earthquake could happen unexpectedly, because the hidden faults could suddenly release energy in ways the old models didn’t predict.
The team suspected something more complex was happening at the Mendocino Triple Junction, as a large magnitude 7.2 earthquake in 1992 occurred at a much shallower depth than expected.
First author David Shelly of the US Geological Survey Geologic Hazards Center in Golden, Colorado, said in a statement: 'You can see a bit at the surface, but you have to figure out what the configuration is underneath.'
Using a network of seismometers in the Pacific Northwest, the team tracked tiny 'low-frequency' earthquakes deep underground where tectonic plates grind and slide past each other.
These events are far too weak to be felt on the surface, thousands of times smaller than a detectable quake.
To verify their results, the team compared the seismic activity to tidal forces.
The sun and moon's gravity pulls on the Earth's crust just as it does on the oceans.
When those forces align with the direction a plate is moving, the researchers observed a rise in small quakes, Thomas said, confirming their model.
The new model reveals that the Mendocino triple junction is not just a three-plate intersection, but a far more complicated system of five moving pieces, two of which are hidden deep below the Earth's surface.
At the southern end of the Cascadia subduction zone, researchers say a chunk of the North American plate has snapped off and is being pulled down along with the Gorda plate as it sinks beneath the continent.
Further south, the Pacific plate is dragging a mass of rock called the Pioneer fragment northward under North America. The fault between the Pioneer fragment and the North American plate runs almost horizontally and is completely invisible from above ground.
The Pioneer fragment is a remnant of the ancient Farallon plate, which once ran along California's coastline before mostly disappearing.
The updated model also explains the unusually shallow depth of the 1992 earthquake, because the subducting surface lies much higher than previously thought, Materna said.
'It had been assumed that faults follow the leading edge of the subducting slab, but this example deviates from that,' Materna said. 'The plate boundary seems not to be where we thought it was.'

A deadly winter storm that brought massive snowfall across the U.S. has knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people in the South and is crippling travel in the Northeast.
At least 29 dead across multiple states
At least 29 deaths have been attributed to the storm nationwide, according to the Associated Press.
In Frisco, Texas, near Dallas, a 16-year-old girl died from a sledding accident, according to Frisco police. The victim and another girl were being pulled on a sled by a teenage boy driving a car when the sled struck a curb and then hit a tree, police said.
In the Austin area, a victim was found dead in the parking lot of an abandoned gas station from apparent hypothermia, officials said.
In Arkansas, a 17-year-old boy died after he was pulled by an ATV in the snow and struck a tree, according to the Saline County Sheriff’s Office.
In Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, three people died while removing snow, the county coroner said. The victims ranged in age from 60 to 84, the coroner said, adding, "I remind the public to use caution when shovel snow … especially individuals with a history of heart disease or other medical concerns."
Eight people died in New York City. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said a retired police officer died on Long Island while shoveling snow, according to New York ABC station WABC.
Another man was found dead with a shovel in his hand in Verona, New Jersey, according to local police.
In Massachusetts, a woman died after a snowplow backed into her in a parking lot, local officials said.
Four deaths were reported in Tennessee, three in Louisiana, two in Mississippi, one in Kansas, one in Ohio and one in South Carolina, according to officials.

Japan’s Crash Is Our Canary in the Coal Mine
Peter St. Onge | EJ Antoni | January 23, 2026
On Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stock index crashed 870 points, the biggest drop since October.
The mainstream media predictably blamed President Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs over Greenland, but they were wrong.
Thanks to Bitcoin—which trades 24/7—we can actually go to the tape. It turns out Greenland barely made a dent. What caused the bloodbath was Japan.
The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now
Specifically, the drop was due to new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Monday press conference. She announced snap elections to bolster a raft of reforms, which would hike government spending and reduce tax revenue. This sent Japanese bonds crashing as bond investors worried Japan can’t handle its massive government debt.
The panic then bled into U.S. financial markets via the yen carry trade, where hedge funds and speculators have borrowed hundreds of trillions of yen at near-zero interest rates to park it in U.S. assets.
The trade worked fine when rates in Japan were kept artificially lower than in the United States and traders could employ plenty of leverage—like gambling with borrowed money.
But now Japanese bond yields are soaring with the 30-year yield setting new records and shorter-term securities like the 10- and two-year at the highest levels since the 1990s. The stratospheric rise in these yields is threatening to strengthen the yen with them—so, that free money spigot is reversing.
Unwinding the yen carry trade sent the hedge funds rushing for the exits, crashing stocks and bonds worldwide as they liquidated holdings to get out of their leveraged positions. Put simply, if they bought assets with borrowed money, the assets were sold to repay the loans before the interest on those loans could skyrocket.
Japan’s latest bond crisis is a near-repeat of the U.K. Gilt Crisis in 2022, when British Prime Minister Liz Truss introduced a package of tax cuts and spending hikes that sent bond yields soaring a point and a half in a single day—third world territory. And that sent the British pound crashing to a 37-year low against the dollar.
The wider issue is what the U.K.—and now Japan—have illustrated: Bond markets cannot digest fiscal deficits that have blown away peacetime records.
The fact that this is happening in two of the most advanced—and heretofore drama-free—economies on Earth is ominous. The bond vigilantes are reminding everyone that they have the final veto on all government finance.
Even worse, the fiscal deficit in Japan is less than half that of the U.S.—3% of the gross domestic product in Japan versus the 6.4% of GDP that Congress is spending us into the hole every year.
While the dollar’s reserve currency status and our lower aggregate national debt buy time, this suggests we’re living on borrowed time. And when the crisis hits here, it could be even harder than Japan.
How the Land of the Rising Sun got here is illustrative since Congress is following the same recipe.
Japan’s original sin dates to when its easy money bubble burst in 1990, and instead of letting weak companies and banks die off, it put them on permanent life support with stimulus and low interest rates.
This created a zombie economy of money-losing companies that hog up one-third of all bank lending and almost 10 million Japanese workers essentially paid to lose money. The result is that while American productivity grew by half since 1990, Japan’s actually dropped.
That in turn translated into real wages that are lower in Japan today than 1990, while also driving Japanese government debt to 230% of GDP—an eye-watering $70 trillion in U.S. GDP terms.
To finance all that debt, the Bank of Japan pushed interest rates down near zero for 30 years, which was necessary because otherwise the interest on that mountain of debt would eat Japan alive.
This created the free money machine of the century for foreigners in the yen carry trade, and it plunged Japan into 30 years of stagnation with no end in sight.
Beyond the economic costs, this has driven Japanese suicide rates to one of the highest rates on Earth, while Japanese fertility has plunged to just 1.2 children per couple. Shockingly, that means eight great-grandparents turn into just 1.7 souls. If this keeps up, Japan’s population will fall by half per generation, leaving a shell of a developed nation.
Japan is the poster child for a creeping worldwide government takeover that’s transforming vibrant economies into permanent crony bailout apparatuses: Where government handouts and tax-funded nongovernmental organizations feast while the dwindling taxpayers—who pay for it—all check out, figuratively and sometimes literally.
The canary in the coal mine is singing. Trump’s doing what he can. Now Congress needs to wake up and turn us back from the fiscal cliff with meaningful spending cuts.

Leaks from Iranian officials to Western media indicate growing levels of dissent in regime - report
The leaked information threatens the regime’s narrative of violent foreign-backed terrorist organizations killing civilians and protesters and causing unrest.

A growing number of Iranian officials have released confidential information on the Islamic Republic regime’s brutalization of protesters, indicating growing dissent, the nonpartisan American think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, published on Sunday.
Conflicting with statements made by regime representatives, two Iranian officials briefed on the orders of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told The New York Times that regime forces had been instructed to quell the protests and that regime security forces had been ordered to use live fire to kill and “show no mercy.”
Two senior Iranian officials separately told TIME on Sunday that 30,000 people may have been killed between January 8 and January 9, conflicting with the regime’s official claims at the UN Human Rights Council meeting on Friday that the number stood at 3,117 deaths.
The leaked information threatens the regime’s narrative of violent foreign-backed terrorist organizations killing civilians and protesters and causing unrest, the institute noted.
Describing the regime’s rhetoric as an “ongoing information operation,” the institute warned that the Islamic Republic is promoting a narrative that is designed to conceal its use of lethal force.
Dissent grows as Iranian officials expose protest crackdown
Human rights groups, some of which spoke with The Jerusalem Post last week, say that Iran has been forcing families to identify their murdered loved ones as members of the paramilitary-sanctioned Basij Force, which operates under the arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Beyond information leaks, the US State Department condemned reports that a soldier was set to be executed for refusing orders to fire on protesters. Javid Khales’s “refusal was not only justified, but it was the only moral choice,” the department said.
Additionally, despite ongoing internal debates, Iran has not restored international Internet access. Regime factions opposed to the restoration have said that this could trigger more protests. Alternatively, those in favor of restoring Internet access fear that if it is not, the economic toll of the shutdown could spark further unrest.
IRGC-affiliated media had promised that Internet access would be restored to all provinces by Saturday. However, NetBlocks confirmed on Sunday that connectivity in Iran had only experienced brief spikes.
Adding to the reports of growing dissent, the Iranian Information and Communications Technology Ministry denied the IRGC-linked media’s claim on Sunday.
Divisions over the restoration have become increasingly apparent, as multiple IRGC-affiliated media outlets have taken different stances on the Internet shutdown.
One of them, Tasnim News Agency, criticized plans to restore access on Sunday, claiming it would threaten the same environment needed for economic activity to resume.
However, the Institute for the Study of War noted, an IRGC-affiliated Telegram channel claimed on Wednesday that the shutdown undermines national security interests. The channel argued that the shutdown risked fueling public resentment and worsening the country’s economic situation.
The think tank’s assessment follows a report from the Iranian dissident media site Iran International last week, saying that a senior Iranian diplomat to the UN had abandoned his post and is now seeking asylum with his family in Switzerland.
Diplomatic sources told Iran International that Alireza Jeyrani Hokmabad, a senior official at Iran’s permanent mission to the UN in Geneva, decided not to return to Iran out of fear of potential repercussions linked to the current precarious climate.
Further, the sources reportedly claimed that Hokmabad was only one of several Iranian officials probing the possibility of leaving the regime, seeking asylum in the West.

“Minnesota Democrats hate ICE because they’re deporting their voters.” —Gunther Eagleman on “X”
Isn’t it obvious by now that the seditious mischief roiling Minneapolis is some kind of a demonstration project for a China-backed overthrow of the whole country? This is not hard. And, apparently, the Democratic Party is either a willing accomplice or a hostage in thrall to its captor — like Patty Hearst, the heiress kidnapped and bamboozled by psychotic Maoist maniacs who styled themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army, until she was happily making bombs and robbing banks with them (and ended up in prison).
It is well understood that these ICE-Out riots are organized and funded by a network created by one Neville Roy Singham (American, b. 1954), now based in Shanghai. Singham funds the Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Peoples’ Forum, Code Pink, the United Community Fund and a web of other money laundries that supply all the logistics for Lefty-left mobs going back to the George Floyd / BLM operations of 2020 and including the pro-Palestinian uproars of 2024.
Singham’s father, Archibald, was a Sri Lankan poly-sci prof at Brooklyn College, specializing in Third World revolution; his mother was a Cuban-born Marxist. Singham founded a software development company called Thoughtworks in 1993, and sold it to a London-based private equity firm, Apax, . If ever there was a James Bond villain come to life, it’s Neville Roy Singham.for $785-million in 2017, after which he devoted himself to the cause of “dismantling capitalism,” and destroying the USA
And then you have his perfect foil, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who visited China at least thirty times in his previous career as a teacher, his travel often funded by the CCP. What was he up to there? I think we’re going to find out. We’re also going to find out what he has been up to in the state he supposedly runs, especially vis-à-vis the developing mega-scandal of billions creamed off taxpayers through the Somali fake social services fraud network. It’s already known that some of that money found its way into Democratic Party coffers. How much of it landed in the bank accounts of Minnesota politicians and administrative officials? We’ll find out about that, too.
ICE-Watch Signal Chat boss Amanda Noelle Koehler with her boss, Gov. Tim Walz
The communication system for the Minneapolis riots is an encrypted Signal Chat network (“MN ICE-Watch”) run by Tim Walz aide and campaign strategist Amanda Noelle Koehler. That’s how they organize rapid-response actions against ICE and broader mobilization for key propaganda opportunities like the recent shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan acts as an admin for the MN ICE-Watch Signal group. Kind of makes you wonder if Tim Walz himself is involved in orchestrating the chaos. Another thing we’ll probably find out. Are these officials criminally liable in the deaths of Good and Pretti? In any case, it’s all a grand distraction from the massive Somali fraud scandal that broke out over Walz this month like a case of scabies.
The overall Singham / CCP plan is to get rid of Donald Trump, elect a Democratic Party Congress, and turn the USA into CCP-inflected clone state. The Dems have already made their strategy clear: bring in X-million illegal aliens (done) and set them up as voters; admit DC and Puerto Rico as new states to secure the Senate; stuff the Supreme Court with extra Lefty-left justices, and set about “redistributing” the nation’s wealth from the productive class to their rainbow coalition of the oppressed, marginalized, non-white, and mentally-ill. I’m sorry if this sounds like the ridiculous plot of a James Bond movie. Oscar Wilde was onto something when he observed that life imitates art.
Now, the question is: what are we going to do about all this — we who care about preserving an American republic based on economic liberty? And perhaps more to the point: how to put down the current engineered chaos in Minnesota ASAP, in a way that serves notice we will not allow our country to be overthrown by any Marxist-Jacobin rabble. Many are calling for President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. The Singham / CCP / Democratic Party axis would like nothing better, of course, because they could then slap the “tyrant” label on Mr. Trump and set him up for impeachment in 2027, if they can take the midterm election. And they’ll do exactly that if Senate Majority Leader John Thune keeps obstructing passage of the SAVE (election reform) Act.
Is there a path short of the Insurrection Act to quell the Minneapolis mobs? How about this: since the Minneapolis Police have been ordered to stand down by Mayor Jacob Frey. . . why not deputize the officers as federal marshals and put them under the direct authority of the US DOJ? Then arrest as many unruly mob actors as possible, just get them off the streets and make the point that there are consequences. Meanwhile, seize the assets of all the organizations that are funding the chaos. No more coffee and donuts. No more Signal Chat dispatch system. No more subsidized motel stays. No more riot paychecks. All support gone.
Perhaps that’s a start. Expect to see some resolute action this week against the parties involved in the Minneapolis attacks on Immigration Enforcement agents. And understand that the forensic litigation over Alex Pretti’s foolish death is just an obsessive-compulsive public ritual that is fooling nobody with half a brain. Get in law enforcements’ faces with a gun and you’ve signed your own death warrant. What part of that is a mystery?

Erdogan emerges as Israel's next strategic threat
Whether it falls or not, the Iranian threat as Israel knews it is no more, but that certainly does not mean we can beat our swords into plowshares. There is growing assessment that Erdogan will seek to take Khamenei's place and build a Muslim Brotherhood proxy army around Israel.
by Amit Segal

The Sunni threat
Should we start with the good news or the bad? As clouds of war once again gather over Tehran, senior officials in the region assessed this week the Iranian regime's chances of survival as "very high." If there is no genuine military intervention, said the officials, crossing their legs and leaning back, Khamenei could make it to January 20, 2029, the inauguration date of the 48th president of the United States, still ruling the Islamic Republic. It is extremely difficult to topple a regime that is prepared to kill even three hundred thousand of its own people if necessary, they explained.
Even if the regime were to fall, there is no reason to hope for a secular, liberal Iran. In their assessment, the regime that would arise would be a Persian version of Pakistan: a centralized, Muslim, hostile, and far-from-democratic system; the product of a "palace coup" within the Revolutionary Guards rather than a popular uprising from below, whose activists were mown down en masse in the streets. That is why there is not much enthusiasm in the region for an American attack—if, in their view, nothing good is going to come of it anyway.
And now for the good news: even if the regime does not fall, they believe the Iranian threat as we knew it no longer exists. The era in which Iran could calmly and without interference cultivate a formidable proxy army across the Middle East while inching step by step toward a nuclear bomb is over. They are "who they were," and it is preferable to focus on eliminating the Houthis and the remnants of Hezbollah, the last remaining arms. The Middle East has already internalized the "day after" Iran; entirely different things now preoccupy it.
At the top of the list: Turkey. Within ten years, perhaps even less, the Sunni, terror-supporting regime in Ankara will try to take control of the Middle East. It too will have proxies, and it too will try to encircle Israel and make its life miserable. Senior officials in the region are not particularly troubled by Turkey's and Qatar's integration into Gaza's "executive council," which they see as largely symbolic. Qatar as well, in their view, is undergoing a slow process of turning in the right direction after years of a stormy romance with terror and incitement. But what will happen if Jordan—already a state with a Palestinian majority—falls into Turkey's sphere of influence? What if Egypt falls? Or Lebanon? Attention must also be paid to the worrying processes underway in Syria and its effective transformation into Erdogan's murderous client state. It is not yet too late to act, before the Muslim Brotherhood and their patron wash over the region.
Saudi Arabia's reversal
Speaking of changes, here is the updated assessment now being heard in important capitals in the region: normalization with Saudi Arabia is dead, at least for the foreseeable future. The strategic decision to pursue reconciliation with Israel has been replaced by a wild incitement campaign, whose depth and damage are questionable in terms of awareness. When Qatar's "plastic empire" attacks Israel via Al Jazeera, it is very harmful—but when the preacher in Mecca poisons the entire Sunni world against Israelis, that is something else entirely.
Over the past month, Al Arabiya has been worse than Al Jazeera in the texts broadcast against any normalization with Israel. Saudi podcasters who specialize in luxury cars or sports are suddenly cursing Zionism and the Abraham Accords. The broader context is the Saudi-Emirati military confrontation in Yemen—an attack that should greatly worry Israel and the United States, and that delights the Houthis, who watch their enemies fight one another.
Why is this happening? Strangely, Israel has fallen victim to its historic success in severely damaging Iran's nuclear project and its proxy network. In 2015, the Saudi king sent Netanyahu a note congratulating him on his speech to Congress against the nuclear deal. That is where the seeds of cooperation with the moderate Sunni states were sown, culminating in the Abraham Accords. When concern over Iran reached its peak and interest in the Palestinian issue reached a low point, the de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, embarked on a campaign to prepare hearts for peace with Israel. The date was late September 2023.
October 7 changed everything: it both reignited Arab interest in the Palestinian issue and led to an Israel–Iran war on seven fronts. Saudi Arabia received, for free, the goods it wanted in Tehran, and the price it demanded on the Palestinian issue rose sharply. Contrary to the impression created, Netanyahu and Dermer were not particularly eager to pay any price to the Saudis either. "If not, then not—no force," Netanyahu said in one cabinet meeting.
Now, with the Saudis no longer celebrating the Abraham Accords, they are trying to undermine their foundations of support, from Morocco to the Emirates. Someone I spoke with this week used an Arab proverb to explain it: "He who cannot reach the grapes says they are sour." I suggested an Israeli version, straight from air-defense battle lore: "If I don't fly, nobody flies."
Donald Trump has a move or two available in Riyadh. Israel and its friends in the region should ask him to use his influence to halt the toxic campaign against his main international legacy and make clear that an attack on the accords is an attack on him.
The return of the cockpit
The betting site Polymarket is not particularly impressed by most of the polls published in Israel. When the line opened on the identity of the prime minister after the 2026 elections, Bennett led—but within days the trend reversed. For two months now Netanyahu has been confidently in front. This week he widened the gap: a 54% chance of being prime minister. Bennett stands at 19% (a significant drop from last week), followed, in order, by Eisenkot, Lapid, and Golan, all in single digits. Of course, it should be remembered that the Netanyahu option also includes the possibility that he remains in office, but as head of a caretaker government. Still, this is completely different from the impression created by the polls over the past two years.
What is going on here? Is it the bitter experience of Hapoel fans, accustomed to losses and unable to accept a lead in any league? Or is it the dynamic that should worry the opposition: Netanyahu versus the opposition, and the opposition versus itself?
Gadi Eisenkot's move this week—to propose a united list with Bennett and Lapid—was intended to end the destructive descent into internal battles. In the right-wing bloc it is clear who leads and what the structure is. A giant list, with Lieberman on its right and Golan on its left, would end the leadership brawls in one stroke and neutralize the "prisoner's dilemma," in which each player acts rationally for himself and the shared goal is gravely harmed.
Bennett has long warned that an alliance with Lapid would severely damage his chances of drawing votes from the right, but Eisenkot's camp believes that in any case the almost only person capable of doing that is Lieberman. They think a party with two prime ministers and a chief of staff should allay the fears of undecided voters.
One more thing can be learned from the episode: Gadi Eisenkot has not abandoned his intention to lead the bloc. If Bennett refuses the proposal to choose the prime ministerial candidate only close to the elections, will that pave Eisenkot's way to say, "I tried, they didn't want to, I'm running alone"? Or perhaps to run with Yair Lapid, who is willing to discuss vacating the top spot under certain conditions? The chances of the unification Bennett wants so badly, with Eisenkot, declined this week. Bennett wanted straight and right; Eisenkot wants to meet in the center.
Who will block the blockers?
Can more than a hundred percent of blame be measured for a disaster? If not, any effort to explain complexity will look like an attempt to extract the responsible party. You talked about the failures of the army and the Shin Bet before October 7? You are trying to absolve Netanyahu of responsibility, and vice versa. As in Gaza, so on the roads. You talked about ultra-Orthodox roadblockers? You absolved the driver who ran people over. You blamed the driver? You ignored the violence of the blockage.
There is enough blame to go around, and it is worth starting at the beginning. Blocking roads is a thuggish and violent act, not an effective protest without disruption to public order (and if it is, then it's time to block the road leading to the Attorney General's home every morning; we'll see how long it takes for the directive to change). The State Attorney's guidelines from August 2020 state that inciting those present to block roads can be considered an aggravating circumstance justifying prosecution; so can organizing such a demonstration. Gali Baharav-Miara and her predecessor Amit Isman made a conscious decision in 2023 to exempt the organizers of mass road blockages from any responsibility, in order to protect themselves and their counterparts in the legal system. It was a "green light" to normalize violence and a prelude to making Israelis' lives miserable.
To the credit of the Kaplan protesters, both on the enforcing and the non-enforcing side, a similar disgrace also characterized the disabled protests. And to the discredit of the extreme ultra-Orthodox who blocked roads en masse, it should be said that they did so even before the paralysis of Ayalon became fashionable. But once the illegal disregard by law enforcement for its own guidelines was normalized, the train left the station (and was then blocked by protesters).
If there is no price at all for blocking a road, how is this phenomenon supposed to end? What is a driver supposed to do when a protester stops in front of his car? The answer is certainly not to run him over. But the protester and the blocker also bear responsibility and blame for the tragic outcomes. Not all the responsibility and not all the blame, of course, but a decisive contribution: without a blockage, there would have been no running over. It is worth remembering this, not only on Romema Street, but also the next time Kaplan protesters are shocked by a driver who struck them on the road. There is a price for lawlessness. If the justice system does not collect it, it may, tragically, be collected by passersby.

Report: US weighs full Syria withdrawal as Sharaa forces rout Kurds
The Wall Street Journal reports that Washington is considering a full troop withdrawal from Syria after the SDF’s collapse.
Israel National News
Jan 23, 2026, 4:09 AM (GMT+2)
Washington is weighing a full withdrawal of American forces from Syria, US officials told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, as Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa moves to seize control of the country’s northeast from the US-backed, Kurdish‑led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Such a move would end more than a decade of US military involvement in Syria, which began in 2014 when then‑President Barack Obama intervened in the civil war. The deliberations come as Sharaa’s government has ordered the SDF to disband following a rapid offensive over the weekend that left the militia on the brink of collapse.
The United States has previously considered a drawdown. In December 2018, President Trump abruptly announced a full pullout of roughly 2,000 troops, prompting the resignation of then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. The decision was later softened by senior advisers, leaving a residual force in place.
Today, roughly 1,000 American troops remain in Syria, mostly in the northeast alongside the SDF. A small number are stationed at Al Tanf Garrison in the south. Their primary mission is preventing an Islamic State (ISIS) resurgence, and until last weekend’s offensive, the SDF was responsible for guarding about 9,000 ISIS detainees.
The Pentagon declined to comment, and the White House did not immediately respond.
US officials say that if the SDF disbands entirely, there would be little justification for keeping American troops in Syria. They also cite the difficulty of working with Sharaa’s forces, which they say include jihadist sympathizers and soldiers tied to Al‑Qaeda and ISIS, as well as individuals implicated in alleged war crimes against Kurds and Druze.

Tensions have already escalated. In December, two US soldiers and an American interpreter were killed near Palmyra by a Syrian security officer who was about to be dismissed for extremist views. During the recent offensive, US forces shot down a Syrian government drone near an American facility, and Sharaa’s forces attacked SDF barracks at the same base.
Another factor in the withdrawal debate is the fate of thousands of ISIS detainees. On Wednesday, the US began transferring 7,000 of the roughly 9,000 prisoners to Iraq amid fears they could escape as Syrian forces take over detention sites. Last week, 200 detainees escaped from Shaddadi prison after SDF forces abandoned their posts, though Sharaa’s forces later recaptured them.

Earthquake warnings flash from Wyoming to Utah as 4.7 quake rocks the West
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 11:14 EST, 22 January 2026 | Updated: 12:36 EST, 22 January 2026
Thousands of Americans received earthquake warnings on Thursday after a 4.7 magnitude struck Utah.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) issued the ShakeAlert after the quick hit just 54 miles outside of Salt Lake City at 7.49am local (9.49am ET).
Residents reported shaking across northern Utah, western Wyoming and southern Idaho.
Several cities, including Logan, Ogden, and Provo, reported weak and light shaking to USGS and there have been no reports of injuries or property damage caused by the quake.
Nearly 1.5million people live in the 125-mile stretch between Logan and Provo, where the earthquake's effects were most felt.
Keith Koper, the University of Utah’s Seismograph Station’s director, told ABC4 Utah: 'It is possible that you could feel more shaking later today.'
USGS added that there was a nearly 50percent chance that another quake stronger than magnitude 3.0 could take place in the region over the next day.
Koper noted that Thursday's event was not considered a 'big earthquake' but added that this highly populated part of Utah sits on top of a major fault line linked to significant seismic activity.
The Wasatch Fault runs directly under or very close to several major Utah cities along the Wasatch Front.
These communities include Brigham City, Ogden, Salt Lake City, Provo, and Nephi.
According to officials in Utah, the Wasatch Fault has caused 17 major earthquakes stronger than magnitude 5.5 since record-keeping began in the area in 1847.
Studies by USGS have warned that at least 22 large surface-splitting quakes stronger than magnitude 7.0 have taken place along the Wasatch over the last 6,000 years, averaging one every 300 years.
The most recent of these major disasters took place approximately three centuries ago near the Nephi segment of the fault line, meaning a new mega earthquake could conceivably be a possibility, based on historical averages.
A 2016 review of the Wasatch Fault by USGS and other state scientists determined that there was a 43percent chance of an earthquake greater than magnitude 6.7 erupting along the fault over the next 50 years.
The odds were even higher of a quake stronger than magnitude 6.0 impacting Utah, coming in at 57percent.
'A large quake on the Wasatch fault zone near Salt Lake City could have an enormous impact on the region and result in 2,000 to 2,500 fatalities,' the 2016 Working Group on Utah Earthquake Probabilities (WGUEP) wrote in their assessment.
The report also estimated that 7,400 to 9,300 life-threatening injuries would occur, 84,000 families could displaced from their homes, and there would likely be disruptions to water, electricity, gas, and sewer lines when the earth split.
Overall, the total damage cost in 2016 was calculated at $33billion.
Since Thursday's magnitude 4.7 quake, at least six minor aftershocks have been recorded in the area.
The earthquake did not take place directly along this fault line, as its epicenter was approximately 50miles east of the Wasatch.
However, it was still located within the Intermountain Seismic Belt (ISB), a massive zone of earthquake activity stretching from Montana to Arizona.

Genetics Helping Restore Priestly Lineage Of Levites For Third Temple Service
By Joshua Marks/JNS.org January 16, 2026
The wind cuts down from the Mount of Olives as three Jewish men named Cohen hunch their shoulders against the cold and start up the wooden ramp to the Temple Mount, breath clouding in the Jerusalem air.
In a scene that could stand in for countless real family journeys, their grandparents' stories trace lines through Poland, Tunisia and Iran, but here the paths merge: walking the worn stone their Israelite forefathers once crossed in white linen, lips shaping the same psalms those priests sang when the Temple still stood and the smoke of offerings climbed into the winter sky.
If this trio had wanted more than a symbolic ascent--if they had wanted to learn how to bless, to sing and to serve as their ancestors once did--they could now find a place to do it.
An emerging effort to revive the Aaronite priests and Levitical assistants of ancient Israel has grown into a nearly 100-strong professional community of Kohanim and Levites in just a month, led by a young Israeli doctor and Temple Mount activist.
Nathan Huberman, 32, a Canadian-born physician, Israel Defense Forces veteran and longtime Temple Mount guide who lives outside Jerusalem, recently talked to JNS about his work turning ancient hereditary roles into a concrete program of training, identity and public engagement.
"These communities are professional communities, founded on four principles," Huberman said. "Identity, an identity that comes with responsibility, knowing the actions you are meant to perform, and setting professional standards for those actions."
Huberman is building two separate but related professional communities rooted in priestly and Levitical identity, each with its own focus and infrastructure.
The Kohen community operates under Mamlechet Kohanim, which runs a basic training course using life-sized replicas of Temple vessels--including an altar and menorah--and brings in specialists to teach practical workshops. The aim is to grow both the number of participants and their level of professional preparedness for traditional priestly functions The Levite community is organized through the Beyadenu organization and is centered on the Temple Mount, where members ascend to areas permitted under Jewish law and sing, echoing the role of Levites in the ancient Temple ensemble. Huberman is working to formalize this track as well, consulting musicologists and performers from Levitical families to design a dedicated course in Levite liturgical song that is still in development
Because both groups are identity-based ethnic communities, Huberman says there is significant work to be done in structuring them along traditional lines. He notes that biblical, rabbinic and archaeological sources describe how the Temple workforce was divided, and that some families today claim descent from the Second Temple-era mishmarot, or service divisions.
In theory, he adds, modern genetic research could be used to help sort contemporary priests and Levites into their ancestral family lines, further refining how the two communities are organized.
"I'm here just connecting dots," said Huberman. "There are people out there doing great work, and these communities invite people to take part in those dots that are already there and connect to them."
The Levi project rests on what Huberman calls a quiet revolution in Jewish access and religious expression on the Temple Mount over the past decade. Where once Jews risked being expelled or even arrested for closing their eyes too long or appearing to pray, he says it is now possible to sing and even dance openly under the eyes of Israeli police without interference.
As a board member of Beyadenu, Huberman works to ease access and improve the experience for non-Muslims, arguing that a broader cross-section of Israeli society now ascends the Mount, including religious Zionists, haredim and others.
He points to a growing, if often discreet, roster of rabbis who halachically permit ascent under strict guidelines, citing figures such as the late chief rabbis Mordechai Eliyahu and Shlomo Goren and promising to publish a detailed list of supportive authorities.
"Most of the people going up are not very homogenous," he said. "It's shared among many different demographics, which is very interesting."
The communities' development coincides with cutting-edge research into the Y chromosome of Kohens that, in Huberman's view, could transform how priestly families organize themselves for renewed Temple service. A recent high-resolution sequencing study, currently available as a preprint, found that roughly 80 percent of tested Kohens cluster into nine major paternal lineages, with about 20% remaining unassigned--an echo, he notes, of Second Temple-era records describing a group called Hakot that was sidelined from service due to unclear lineage.
While stressing that halachic Kohen status cannot rest on DNA alone, Huberman sees enormous potential in using genetics to reconstruct detailed family trees and revive the 24 "mishmarot," or family shifts, into which King David and the prophet Samuel divided the priestly workforce. He hopes to work with researchers to map well-documented Kohen dynasties--from families in Israel and Tunisia to Middle Eastern clans that preserve scrolls tracing their ancestry back to biblical figures such as Ezra and Eli the High Priest--onto these genetic lines for practical division of future Temple labor.
"You can use the genetic code to recreate family trees," Huberman emphasized. "You can prove that a Kohen from Algeria and a Kohen from Eastern Europe actually descend from the same person, and that has huge implications for how the Temple service could be organized."
Huberman situates his initiative within a larger theological and national conversation in Israel about what Jewish sovereignty is ultimately for beyond physical protection from antisemitism. Drawing inspiration from Bar-Ilan University's professor Hillel Weiss, whose writings on practical steps toward Temple restoration deeply influenced him, he argues that the Temple and its priestly institutions are meant to expand Judaism's contribution to the world, socially and spiritually.
To that end, the communities collaborate with groups such as the Temple Institute, whose altars and ritual equipment could, in Huberman's telling, be deployed rapidly if circumstances allowed, making a pool of trained Kohens and Levites a strategic religious asset.
He emphasizes readiness and professionalism over messianic rhetoric, inviting skeptics and supporters alike to visit courses in person and watch Levites sing on the Temple Mount, in the hope that transparency will build trust and normalize what he sees as a grassroots return to Temple-centered Jewish identity.
"The Israeli population in general, Jewish people in general, are grappling with the question," said Huberman. "We get it, we have a country that's supposed to protect us from antisemitism, but beyond just protection and creating a country, what are we supposed to do with this country?"
Although still in their earliest stages, the communities already mimic aspects of Chabad-style outreach, with Huberman fielding daily calls from Kohens in Israel and abroad who want to join, including those who are not observant. He portrays the project as a way to "fix historical fractures," including his own complicated Levitical family story in the shadow of the Holocaust, by rebuilding broken chains of memory and practice.
Next steps include expanding course offerings, formalizing workshops with academic and ritual partners, and building an international network of identity-based priestly and Levitical communities.
Huberman encourages any self-identified Kohen or Levi interested in reconnecting with this heritage to reach out directly through his existing contact details, promising that the door is open to all who wish to turn an inherited status into lived responsibility.
"I want it to be the most inviting that it can be to every Kohen," Huberman said. "It's sort of like an outreach movement, like a Chabad for priestly families, bringing this part of Judaism back to Jews all over."

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise. For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near. So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Christian leaders demand justice after anti-ICE agitators storm St. Paul church: 'Unspeakably evil'
Trump administration launches federal investigation as Attorney General Pam Bondi vows prosecution
By Anders Hagstrom Fox News Published January 19, 2026 2:03pm EST
Leaders demanded action from the government after protesters were filmed shouting at Cities Church congregants in St. Paul. The incident was filmed by former CNN host Don Lemon, who followed the protesters.
The National Faith Advisory Board highlighted a response by Pastor Paul Chappell, as well as Paula Michelle White, who serves as senior adviser to the White House Faith Office.
"We condemn the actions of Don Lemon and the group of activists who stormed Cities Church today in St. Paul, Minnesota, in clear violation of the FACE Act. Christians everywhere should demand that the Department of Justice arrest those who participated. We must protect religious liberty in this country," White wrote.
ALINA HABBA SAYS DOJ WILL 'COME DOWN HARD' AFTER ANTI-ICE MOB DISRUPTS MINNESOTA CHURCH SERVICE
Chappell called on the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into the incident and "apprehend those who broke the law."
"We must protect religious liberty in this country," Chappell told his congregation at Lancaster Baptist Church in California.
Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, condemned the incident as "unspeakably evil." He also urged law enforcement to take swift action.
DOJ LAUNCHES CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION AFTER MINNESOTA AGITATORS STORM CHURCH
"I normally do not post to social media on the Lord’s Day, but the unspeakably evil intrusion of a leftist mob into a Christian worship service today in Minneapolis must be called out for what it is—and Federal authorities should be fast and effective in response. May God bless this steadfast pastor, this faithful Gospel church, and the members who were traumatized, including children and youth. This was nothing less than the desecration of Christian worship.
President Donald Trump's administration has already announced investigations into the incident, which saw dozens of protesters disrupting the service and harassing congregants on Sunday.
"What a despicable act meant to terrorize and stoke fear in Christians. This is what the Left is. They hate order and want to destroy the nation," wrote Pastor Steve Gentry of Village Church in Virginia.
MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD PLACED ON STANDBY TO SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT AS PROTESTS TURN VIOLENT
Multiple top-level members of Trump's administration vowed an investigation after the unrest on Sunday.
"I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement.
"If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails," she added.
Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, said she and her team are "hard at work" investigating the incident.
"We will not rest until we are able to deliver justice," Dhillon said in a statement.

Pileup involving up to 100 cars reported on Michigan highway: ‘Avoid driving today'
The Ottawa County Sheriff's office reported a multi-vehicle crash just before noon on I-196 near 64th Avenue in Zeeland Township, located just outside of Grand Rapids.
Published January 19, 2026 • Updated on January 19, 2026 at 9:05 pm
A pileup involving as many as 100 cars shut down a western Michigan highway on Monday and left many drivers stranded in dangerous weather conditions.
The Ottawa County Sheriff's office reported a multi-vehicle crash just before noon on Interstate 196 near 64th Avenue in Zeeland Township, located about 25 miles southwest of Grand Rapids.
The crash shut down I-196 in both directions between Hudsonville and Zeeland, leaving many drivers stranded. Buses from Hudsonville Public Schools were being used to transport stranded drivers from the scene to Hudsonville High School, the sheriff's office said.
"Motorists currently stranded on scene should remain inside their vehicles until they are able to board a bus for transportation to Hudsonville High School," the department wrote. "We are asking the public to avoid driving today, especially in this area, due to hazardous conditions."
NBC affiliate station WOOD-TV reported the crash involved as many as 100 vehicles, and "includes several jack-knifed semi-trucks.”
Images purportedly of the scene showed several semis in ditches and crashed vehicles on snowy roadways.
The National Weather Service had warned Monday that "travel is not recommended near and west of US 131 this morning into the afternoon."
"This especially includes I-196," the agency wrote on X. "Whiteouts, slide offs and multi car accidents have been observed on major roads via MDOT webcams as lake effect snow bands and blowing snow are occurring."
Snowfall rates of up to a half-inch per hour were reported.
According to WOOD-TV, the interstate was closed for roughly eight hours but had reopened as of 6 p.m. About nine to 12 people were injured in the pileup and taken to area hospitals, authorities said.

US President Donald Trump on Monday confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was invited to be a member of his "Board of Peace" initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts, including Phase II of his Gaza peace plan.
"He's been invited," Trump told reporters.
Earlier on Monday, the Kremlin announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin had received an invitation to join the Board of Peace, and that Moscow was reviewing the proposal, expressing hope for future contacts with Washington regarding it.

Morocco’s King joins Trump’s new 'Board of Peace'
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI accepts Trump’s invitation to join the new “Board of Peace" founded as part of Trump’s Gaza peace plan.
Israel National News Jan 20, 2026, 5:10 AM (GMT+2)
1 minutes
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has accepted US President Donald Trump’s invitation to join his new “Board of Peace" as a founding member, the Moroccan foreign ministry announced Monday.
“Welcoming President Donald Trump’s commitment and vision to promoting peace," the monarch “has graciously accepted this invitation," the ministry said in a statement published by the MAP news agency, adding that Morocco would “ratify the charter establishing this board."
The ministry hailed the US-led initiative as aiming to “contribute to peace efforts in the Middle East and adopt a new approach to resolving conflicts around the world."
The charter of the “Board of Peace", seen by AFP, states that member countries - represented by their head of state or government - may join for three years, or longer if they contribute more than $1 billion within the first year.
The Board, which is part of Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza, will serve as an international transitional oversight body that supervises and provides oversight for Gaza's transitional administration during a post-ceasefire reconstruction period.
As part of the plan, day-to-day administration is handled by a technocratic Palestinian Arab committee overseen by an intermediate executive committee. The “Board of Peace" is chaired by Trump himself and includes around 10-15 leaders from Arab, Western, and other countries.

US-Iran showdown nears as Israel is pulled deeper in
The arrival of a US aircraft carrier in the Gulf gives Washington significant flexibility in the use of force. While the military option remains on the table, President Donald Trump is also keeping the diplomatic track open – a development that carries troubling implications for Israel.
by Danny Citrinowicz
Published on 01-19-2026 15:40 Last modified: 01-19-2026 15:40
As the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln makes its way toward the Persian Gulf, the decisive moment between the US and Iran draws closer. At this stage, and despite the belligerent rhetoric on both sides, it is clear that a diplomatic solution is still very much an option. The same actors in Iran, in the US administration and across the region who blocked a strike last Wednesday are apparently using the waiting period to explore alternatives that could enable a political process between Washington and Tehran and avert escalation.
The carrier's arrival gives the United States considerable operational flexibility against Iran, ranging from dramatic steps such as targeting Iranian oil tankers that guarantee crude supplies to China, to direct strikes on targets inside Iran itself. Yet even with these capabilities in place, the core dilemma facing the administration remains unresolved: whether to settle for a show of force and diplomatic pressure aimed at producing a nuclear agreement on Washington's terms, or to pursue kinetic action designed to bring about regime change.
Moreover, the massive concentration of force in the Gulf does not answer the deeper strategic question: how to achieve a swift and meaningful outcome, potentially including regime change, without being dragged into a prolonged and costly campaign. At the same time, it is unclear how Washington could ensure that a post-regime Iran would not be taken over by forces even more extreme than the current leadership.
Tehran under pressure
Either way, the arrival of the aircraft carrier in the Gulf dramatically increases the level of pressure on Tehran, particularly amid possible threats to the life of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This also explains the threats voiced yesterday by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and why Iranian forces are apparently on high alert.
Much like the administration in Washington, the Iranian regime now faces a dramatic point of decision: whether to comply with US demands, a move that would require relinquishing key pillars of the regime's security doctrine, foremost among them uranium enrichment, or to stand firm and risk a military confrontation, a scenario Iran is least eager to see unfold.
Ultimately, the decision rests with Khamenei himself. The question is whether a leader who views the US as the "Great Satan" and the bitter enemy of the Islamic Revolution will be willing, despite his public declarations, to drink not just a cup but a "pitcher of poison" in order to save the regime.
If not, is there any actor within Iran with enough power to push him in that direction? This comes as it is far from clear how fully aware he is of the gravity of the situation and of the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran, even after suppressing protests, remains in an extremely fragile state. If Tehran fails to change course, the next wave of protests may only be a matter of time, given the country's severe economic distress.
Between Opportunity and Risk
From an Israeli perspective, this is an issue of opportunity against risk. The unprecedented US presence in the Gulf and the commitment demonstrated by the president on Iran brings Israel closer to achieving the strategic objective of a dramatic change in Iran's regime or, at the very least, a fundamental shift in its policy.
At the same time, there is the danger that Washington and Tehran could reach a nuclear deal that would not serve Israel's interests. As ever, opportunity comes hand in hand with risk. Iran may not choose to attack Israel in every scenario, but the the likelihood of Israeli involvement is likely to rise.

SURPRISE! USS Theodore Roosevelt Steams into Red Sea
Hal Turner World January 14, 2026 Hits: 15244
The USS Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt sailed into the Red Sea early today, making it the only US Aircraft Carrier - and strike group - in the Middle East.
Yesterday, the USS George HW Bush left Norfolk, VA heading out into the Atlantic. There is no word on where it is deploying, but common sense would seem to indicate Europe/The Mediterranean Sea.
Hal Turner Analysis
The Red Sea means the carrier and its strike group are within range of Houthis in Yemen, and the regime in Iran.
Two Arleigh Burke class Destroyers are in the Persian Gulf, completely vulnerable to Iran.
One additional Arleigh Burke class Destroyer is in the Red Sea.
It seems to me, and this is only my personal opinion, if things go hot with Iran, we are going to lose ships and men. Prepare yourselves emotionally for that possibility.
Almighty God, please protect our Naval Vessels and the brave men on them.

Trump told large-scale Iran strikes would not topple Islamic Republic regime, officials tell WSJ
US officials caution Trump that military action could escalate tensions without changing Iran's leadership.
ByJAMES GENN
JANUARY 16, 2026 01:01Updated: JANUARY 16, 2026 11:49
US President Donald Trump was advised that a large-scale military strike against Iran would be unlikely to make the Islamic Republic's regime fall, and may have sparked a wider conflict, US officials told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
Trump, for now, would monitor how Tehran handles ongoing protest activity before deciding on the scope of any potential military action, the report noted.
The US military would need more firepower in the region in order to launch a large-scale military action, protect US forces mobilized in the region, and to protect regional allies, including Israel, if Iran were to retaliate against a strike, the advisers told Trump, according to the officials.
However, smaller military actions could boost morale among protesters nationwide, even if it ultimately did not change the regime's clampdown on activists, the officials told the outlet.
Trump, while not having made a final decision, has requested that US military assets be mobilized in preparation for a possible large-scale attack order, the officials said.
Trump and his team "have communicated to the Iranian regime that if the killing continues, there will be grave consequences,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday.
Leavitt: Only Trump knows what he will do in Iran
Only Trump knows what he is going to do, and a "very, very small team of advisors are read into his thinking," she added.
Trump is likely to order the USS Abraham Lincoln to reposition from the South China Sea to the Middle East, two US officials and one other person familiar with the move told WSJ. This journey would last approximately a week, they noted.
Meanwhile, Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters that he is supportive of a larger-scale strike, WSJ reported, adding that he hopes the Iranian regime's "days are numbered."

Report: Israel, Arab states urge Trump to delay major strikes on Iran

Trump with Iran protests in the background
Israeli and Arab officials have privately cautioned the Trump administration in recent days that Iran’s regime may not yet be weakened enough for US military strikes to deliver a decisive blow, NBC News reported Tuesday.
The report cited a US official, a former US official briefed on the talks, a source familiar with Israeli leadership thinking, and two Arab officials.
These officials have advised President Donald Trump - who is weighing military action in response to Tehran’s deadly crackdown on protesters - to hold off on large‑scale strikes for now. Some prefer waiting until the regime is further strained, noting that Iran’s internal stability is shifting rapidly and could change dramatically in either direction.
The discussions, involving senior American political and military leaders, highlight the complex considerations Trump faces as he evaluates possible US responses. The President, who was expected to meet on Tuesday with his national security team, has warned that Iran will face US military action if the regime is killing protesters.
One Arab official said there is a “lack of enthusiasm from the neighborhood" for US strikes at this moment. Another warned that “any attack or escalation by Israel or the US will unite Iranians," noting the rally‑around‑the‑flag effect after the American and Israeli attack in June.
Israeli officials have told the administration that while they fully support regime change in Iran, they fear outside military intervention now may not finish the job protesters have begun. They have suggested alternative US actions to further weaken the regime and bolster demonstrators before considering larger strikes.
Possible steps include improving communications access for Iranians to bypass the regime’s internet blackout, increasing economic sanctions, launching a cyberattack, or carrying out highly targeted military action against specific Iranian leaders, the sources said.
A spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy in Washington declined to comment.
A White House official said in a statement that “All options are at President Trump’s disposal to address the situation in Iran. The president listens to a host of opinions on any given issue, but ultimately makes the decision he feels is best."
The official added that Trump “means what he says," citing military action he ordered against Iran in June and the recent operation to capture Venezuela’s leader.
On Monday night, two Defense Department officials who spoke to CBS News stated that Trump has been briefed on a broad set of military and covert capabilities that could be used against Iran, extending far beyond conventional airstrikes.
Several sources familiar with the matter said the President’s national security team will meet at the White House today to review updated Iran options. It remains unclear whether the President will attend the meeting.
A separate report in the New York Times, citing a senior US source, said that the Pentagon presented Trump with a wide range of options for a strike in Iran, including the possibility of attacking parts of its nuclear program.
The source qualified the statement by noting that the more likely options at this stage are pinpointed, such as a cyberattack or a strike against Iran's internal security apparatus.
Trump on Tuesday warned in an interview with CBS News that the United States is prepared to “take very strong action" if Iran begins hanging anti-government protesters.

The President noted he is aware a “pretty substantial number" of demonstrators have already been killed during more than two weeks of unrest. According to CBS News sources, at least 12,000 - and possibly as many as 20,000 - are feared dead.
Speaking to reporters later, following his visit to Detroit, Trump said, "I'm going back to the White House now, we're going to look at the whole situation that's going on in Iran... We'll get some accurate numbers as to what's happening with regard to the killing."

'You do not have much time': Crown Prince urges Iranian Army members to abandon regime
“You are the national military of Iran, not the military of the Islamic Republic. You have a duty to protect the lives of your compatriots," Pahlavi wrote.
By SAM HALPERN
JANUARY 14, 2026 08:31 Updated: JANUARY 14, 2026 09:29
Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi assured protesters in the ongoing demonstrations against the government that American help was coming while also urging Iran’s army to abandon the regime and join the opposition in a statement released on Wednesday morning.
“My compatriots,” Pahlavi began in his statement, posted to X/Twitter. “By now, you have probably heard the message from the President of the United States. Help is on the way. Continue the fight, as you have done so far.”
He went on to state that there was “a sea of blood” between the Iranian people and the regime, which he asserted would be “prosecuted” for their actions. He then called for Iran’s army to cease defending the country’s leadership.
Pahlavi urges Iran's army to abandon regime, join protesters
“But I also have a special message for members of the Army,” he concluded. “You are the national military of Iran, not the military of the Islamic Republic. You have a duty to protect the lives of your compatriots. You do not have much time. Join them as soon as possible.”
The crown prince’s message comes as official confirmations of the death toll from the protests cross 2,000.
Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi addresses the National Cooperation Convention in Munich, July 26, 2025.
On Tuesday, an Iranian official told The New York Times that around 3,000 people had died. The following morning, US-based Iranian rights group HRANA confirmed that at least 2,403 protesters had been killed.
Pahlavi’s assurance that US help was “on the way” follows US President Donald Trump's statement on Tuesday on his Truth Social platform.
The president also noted that he had canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the regime ceased its violent crackdown on protesters.
That day, the US told its citizens to immediately leave Iran via a notice released by its virtual embassy in Tehran.
“US citizens should leave Iran now. Consider departing Iran by land to Turkiye or Armenia, if safe to do so," the notice said.
French foreign minister: Iran crackdown could be most violent in its contemporary history
Also speaking on Iran's crackdown on demonstrations across the country, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Wednesday that they were the most violent in the country's contemporary history.
"What we suspect is that this is the most violent repression in Iran's contemporary history and that it must absolutely stop," Barrot said.

School District Accused of Forcing Kids to Hide Bibles
By Billy Hallowell
Editor January 13, 2026
An organization that provides Bible programming to public school children is suing a Washington state school district, alleging officials are improperly targeting its Christian program.
Joel Penton, CEO of LifeWise Academy, told CBN News his organization allows parents to opt-in for their kids to go off-site during lunch, recess, and other non-essential periods from public schools during the day.
Children are then given Bible lessons before returning to their respective schools. LifeWise, which launched in 2019, operates in hundreds of schools and is independently funded. It’s a Released Time religious instruction program, made legal in 1952, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Zorach v. Clauson case that public school students can be released during school hours to attend religious classes.
“We’ve been growing rapidly in the last few years, but we started up a program in Everett, Washington, and it was going so well last year,” Penton said. “We had dozens of families engaged and some individuals went to the school board … one gentleman on the school board, in particular, was swayed by these things, and they put in some really discriminatory rules.”
He continued, “They updated their policies and changed the rules on us so that, unlike other student groups … we cannot show up now at any of the school-related functions like the fair where kids sign up for programs like ours and learn about new things.”
Penton said LifeWise has been “singled out.” Beyond purportedly precluding the organization from participating in these official club events, he said LifeWise is now required to obtain weekly parental permission slips from families who wish to opt in.
Normally, Penton said, this would be a one-time permission granted at the start of the school year.
“They have now changed the rules that children need to bring in a permission slip every single week,” he explained. “And not only that, they’ve said that the parents need to carry in the permission slip each and every week … it’s clearly an obstacle they’re putting up to try to push us out because that’s unreasonable for parents to do that.”
Penton alleged no other clubs are being asked to do the same. This school year, he said, LifeWise will be in 1,000 schools and no other school across the U.S. requires such permission.
The third issue Penton mentioned — one he called “almost comically discriminatory” — is a policy reportedly requiring students who leave LifeWise during the day and come back to school to place any materials, including Bibles, in a “sealed envelope.”
“That sounds like it can’t even be real, but a sealed envelope as though the material is dangerous — that it will infect other children,” Penton said.
He believes the school board changed its policies to “single … out” LifeWise.
“It seems to be a transparent attempt to get us to effectively shut down the program,” Penton said. “And so we really tried to handle this quietly. … We went to the school and tried to very quietly say, ‘You know, this is discrimination; you can’t do this. There’s a constitution in this country.’ And they were not receptive to that.”
Penton went to First Liberty Institute, a conservative legal firm, to get assistance. A letter pushing back on the policies reportedly didn’t yield the response First Liberty wanted.
So, LifeWise has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the district’s policies. Penton said parents feel targeted by the district’s actions, and he’s working to ensure they are overturned.
“As you can imagine, parents are upset by this, and especially when … we’ve been trying to do this in a way that isn’t offensive,” he said. “Kids whose parents opt them into the program want to quietly have a Bible study.”
Ultimately, Penton said LifeWise wants families to have full access to the program in a “way that is not discriminatory toward them.” He’s hoping to see normal policies reinstated.
“We’re not looking for fights,” Penton said. “We’re looking to teach the Bible to kids.”
CBN News reached out to the Everett Public Schools board for comment, but, as of the time of publication, have not yet received a response. Everett Public Schools spokesperson Harmony Weinberg reportedly told the Herald that no additional comment could be given on the litigation.

Massacre of Christians ongoing in Nigeria: 'Fulani herdsmen killing innocents almost daily'
By Christian Daily International/Morning Star NewsTuesday, January 13, 2026
ABUJA, Nigeria — Fulani herdsmen in Benue state, Nigeria, killed four Christians on Monday and nine others on Jan. 5-6, sources said.
In Otobi Akpa village, Otukpo County, Fulani herdsmen arrived at midnight on Monday and shot four Christians who had been asleep in their homes, said resident Franca Akipu, who said dozens of others remain missing.
“The attack was carried out by Fulani herdsmen,” she told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “They shot at people who were sleeping. The gunshots were so loud that my mom was in panic throughout the night. Please keep my community in your prayers.”
Akipu identified the slain Christians as Ochi Igbade, Eje Uzu, Alinko and Achibi.
Previously, Fulanis had attacked the village on April 15, killing 13 Christians and burning down 50 houses, she said. Community leader Adikwu Ogbe said they were attacked at about 6 p.m. on that day.
“The armed herdsmen invaded our community, shooting sporadically at anyone they sighted,” Ogbe told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “And when they retreated, 13 of our Christian members had been killed, while 50 houses were destroyed.”
In two other counties in Benue state, herdsmen killed five Christians on Jan. 6 and four others on Jan. 5, residents said.
In Kwande County, Fulani herdsmen on Jan. 6 killed five Christians as they were working on their farms in Udeku Maav-Ya village at about 4 p.m.
“This incident is not the first in this area, as these Fulani herdsmen have been persistent in attacking our communities,” said Tersua Yarkwan, chairman of the Kwande Local Government Council.
Council member Akerigba Lawrence also noted that residents of the area’s predominantly Christian villages “have constantly faced sustained attacks and destruction of their homes and farms.”
In Ikyaghev village, Guma County, herdsmen on Jan. 5 killed four Christians, said Maurice Orwough, Guma Council chairman.
“The farmers were working on their farms when the herdsmen attacked them around 10 a.m.,” Orwough told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “The four Christians are members of the same family.”
James Melvin Ejeh, Agatu Council chairman, said there have been “deliberate and systematic attacks against Christians in some of our communities by herdsmen which have resulted in loss of lives and destruction of property.”
In Ukum County, armed herdsmen on Jan. 8 attacked farmers in predominantly Christian Adogo village, destroying crops, said resident Thomas Ikyase.
Community leader Aule Gba added, “Farmers in my community were attacked by Fulani terrorists. They forced our people to flee from their homes.”
Herdsmen attacks also took place in December. In Okpokwu County, Fulani herdsmen on Dec. 30 attacked a funeral in Owewe village, said resident Isaac Audu. Sunday Oche, chairman of the Ado Local Government Council, noted that herdsmen also attacked the predominantly Christian villages of Ijigban, Ulayi and Utonkon on Dec. 9.
“The herdsmen’s pattern of violence includes attacking mourners, ambushing farmers, and inflicting machete cut wounds on Christian victims,” Oche said.
In an attack on predominantly Christian Mbamondo Ukembergya village in Logo County on Dec. 7, herdsmen killed four Christians, said resident Simon Chia.
“Fulani herdsmen are killing innocent Christians almost daily,” Chia said. “This is the situation we are facing in Logo Local Government Area of Benue state.”
Numbering in the millions across Nigeria and the Sahel, predominantly Muslim Fulani comprise hundreds of clans of many different lineages who do not hold extremist views, but some Fulani do adhere to radical Islamist ideology, the United Kingdom’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom or Belief (APPG) noted in a 2020 report.
“They adopt a comparable strategy to Boko Haram and ISWAP and demonstrate a clear intent to target Christians and potent symbols of Christian identity,” the APPG report states.
Christian leaders in Nigeria have said they believe herdsmen attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are inspired by their desire to forcefully take over Christians’ lands and impose Islam, as desertification has made it difficult for them to sustain their herds.

Left Going to Get More & More Violent – Larry Klayman
By Greg Hunter On January 13, 2026 In Market Analysis, Political Analysis 9 Comments
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch USA, has long predicted (along with other top intel experts) increasing violence from the Left in a Marxist style Bolshevik Revolution. As money is cut off by the Trump Administration and legal pressure mounts for prosecuting Democrats for everything from fraud to sedition, you can expect the Left to dramatically increase the violence to try to destabilize America. Klayman explains, “Here’s what’s going to happen. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem has a death warrant on her. They are chanting ‘kill Kristi Noem.’ It’s going to get more and more violent. The more they are checked legally, the more set back on their heels legally, the more violent they become, that is why the American people need to arm up. They need to be prepared. Don’t use weapons offensively, but defensively. The Left is coming for us. . .. It’s going to get extremely violent. That is their intention. That is their desire, and that is what’s going to happen.”
What got the Left to increase the violence? Klayman says, “I believe the trigger was Venezuela a week or so ago. We knew that was going to have a ripple effect, and it means business. The President has cut off money, not just to Cuba, Iran and China with regard to oil revenues, but it shows his strength of resolve, and they frankly freak out over that. Then there are the ICE activities in Minnesota, which is one of the most corrupt and left-leaning states in this country. The Left is panicking, and they were always going to go to violence. That is their modus operandi. That is the Bolshevik way of doing things. That’s Karl Marx, and the way the Soviet Union was brought down by the communists. These people are communists. They are Islamists. There are good Muslims, but these are not those. They are united in the form of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz and that crazy mayor Jacob Frey. They are using Minnesota as ground zero to do this.”
Other big legal news is a grand jury empaneled in Florida, which is going to look into partisan investigations on President Trump, including an FBI raid of his home at Mar-a-Lago in 2022.
Klayman says, “We do have a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, which is the same district where I practice, and it is also the same district where Judge Aileen Cannon is. She is probably the one who empaneled this grand jury. She found President Trump did not commit any violations with regard to the documents found at Mar-a-Lago. There is a reason why it was filed in Fort Pierce.”
Klayman says some Republicans in Congress are not totally committed to stopping the fraud and crime of the Left. Klayman points out, “Congresswoman Nancy Mace went to the oversight committee and asked for a subpoena to be issued for Ilhan Omar with regard to marrying her brother, with regard to tax fraud and all kinds of illegal acts. Congressmen James Comer and Jim Jordan denied the request of Mace. That is unbelievable!”
There is much more in the 42-minute interview.

Earthquake swarm sends shockwaves rippling over 100 miles across California
By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR
Published: 16:56 EST, 13 January 2026 | Updated: 18:10 EST, 13 January 2026
A swarm of moderate earthquakes has struck California, sending shockwaves in all directions for over 100 miles.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected the first and largest of the quakes at 4.10pm ET Tuesday afternoon between the cities of Willits and Ukiah, measuring 4.4 in magnitude.
The epicenter was approximately 120miles north of San Francisco, the region's largest major city.
Seismic maps of the incident revealed that the 4.4 tremor rippled all the way to the San Francisco Bay Area, sending out light shaking up and down the coast.
The quake was quickly following by three minor tremors, measuring at magnitude 1.7 at 4.16pm, magnitude 1.5 at 4.21pm, and magnitude 1.4 at 5.14pm.
Nearly two hours after the first earthquake, USGS reported that a magnitude 3.7 seismic event was detected at 5.51pm.
The sizable quakes were centered in a seismically active part of the state roughly 10miles from Northern California's Maacama Fault.
The Maacama is an active fault line in the region that can cause strong shaking and damage in areas like Mendocino and Sonoma counties, where it runs through rural communities and wine country.
Making the fault even more of a concern to locals is the fact that it's part of the larger San Andreas Fault system, the infamous 800-mile-long fault running through much of California.
The 4.4 quake struck less than five miles beneath the surface, which is shallow enough to cause a significant amount of shaking at ground level.
However, early reports from the region noted that residents only felt moderate shaking and there have been no reports of injuries at this time.
USGS scientists have documented that the Maacama Fault has produced large earthquakes in the past and could potentially generate one in the future which could exceed magnitude 7.0 in strength.
Tuesday's quakes have renewed fears that a major earthquake is not only possible in Northern California and the Bay Area, but is nearly guaranteed to erupt within the next 20 years.
According to a 2015 report by USGS scientists, there is a 95 percent probability that at least one major quake, stronger than magnitude 6.7, will strike somewhere in the region by 2043.
USGS’s earthquake forecast predicted that this impending earthquake had a 72 percent chance of striking right in the San Francisco Bay Area, home to approximately eight million people.
Overall, the grim report estimated that there was more than a 99 percent certainty that a major quake over magnitude 6.7 would erupt somewhere in the state, including Southern California, closer to Los Angeles and San Diego.

Americans across three US states told to stay indoors as air fills with toxins linked to heart attacks
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 10:16 EST, 13 January 2026 | Updated: 12:01 EST, 13 January 2026
Thousands of Americans are breathing unhealthy air across parts of Georgia, South Carolina and Oregon, as officials warn residents to stay indoors whenever possible.
Air quality maps on Tuesday showed sharply elevated levels of PM2.5, microscopic particles consisting of toxic organic compounds or heavy metals emitted from vehicles, industry and wood burning, creating hazardous conditions.
In Augusta, Georgia, and neighboring areas of South Carolina, including North Augusta, Air Quality Index (AQI) readings reached 166, classified as unhealthy for all residents.
Southern Georgia's Valdosta is also grappling with persistently poor air, with forecasts suggesting more days exceeding AQI 100 due to ongoing environmental stressors.
Central Oregon is under similar alerts, as stagnant air in Bend and surrounding Deschutes County is trapping pollutants, pushing levels into the 'unhealthy for sensitive groups' range and prompting health advisories.
Air quality levels are measured on a scale from 0 to 500: good (0–50) carries little risk, moderate (51–100) may affect sensitive individuals, unhealthy for sensitive groups (101–150) poses increased risk and unhealthy (151–200) impacts everyone, limiting outdoor activity.
Health experts caution that prolonged exposure can trigger respiratory problems, aggravate asthma, strain the heart and contribute to long-term lung damage.
Authorities in all affected states are urging residents to minimize outdoor activity and monitor local air quality forecasts.
The poor air quality in the red zones on the maps stems from a combination of local emissions sources and weather conditions that trap pollutants.
In Augusta, Georgia, and neighboring South Carolina, unhealthy air is being driven primarily by PM2.5 from vehicle traffic, industrial emissions and occasional controlled burns.
Winter weather, including temperature inversions and high-pressure systems, has trapped pollutants close to the ground, keeping haze and particulates in the breathing zone.
Seasonal factors, such as elevated pollen levels, can also affect the AQI, though PM2.5 remains the main concern.
Urban areas like Augusta regularly see spikes in moderate-to-unhealthy air quality, reflecting Georgia’s broader national struggles with pollution.
Valdosta faces similar challenges, as traffic, industrial activity and emissions of volatile organic compounds combine with the Coastal Plain’s geography to slow natural dispersion.
In central Oregon, Bend and southern Deschutes County are under an extended Air Stagnation Advisory through the week.
High-pressure systems and light winds are trapping pollutants, including smoke from residential wood-burning, vehicle exhaust, and other sources, near the ground, creating unhealthy conditions for sensitive residents.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Advisory until 7am PT Friday.
Officials warned that stagnant air keeps harmful particles where people breathe, increasing risks for children, older adults and those with heart or lung conditions.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has also issued a freezing fog advisory in several Oregon regions, which is prompted when fog develops and surface temperatures are at or below freezing.
Benton, Linn, and Lane counties, including Eugene, Corvallis, Albany, and Springfield, are under the alert until 11am PT Tuesday.
Drivers are warned of visibility as low as a quarter mile and slick surfaces from rime ice, while pedestrians and cyclists are urged to wear reflective clothing.
At the same time, an Air Stagnation Advisory remains in effect across much of the Willamette Valley, the Tualatin Valley, Portland Metro and surrounding lowlands through Friday morning.
Stagnant air combined with light winds is trapping pollutants, leading to deteriorating air quality that may affect people with respiratory problems.
Residents are strongly advised to limit outdoor burning and residential wood heating.
Similar conditions are affecting central, eastern, and northern Oregon, including the Columbia River Gorge, Deschutes County, Klamath and Lake counties, Jackson, Josephine, and Douglas counties and extending into parts of southeast Washington.
Cities under alert include Bend, Medford, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, The Dalles and Yakima. Poor air quality is expected to persist through Friday in these regions, with frozen fog further reducing visibility in some valleys.
Officials emphasized that people with respiratory illness, young children, and older adults should take precautions, including staying indoors and avoiding strenuous outdoor activity. Motorists should slow down and exercise extra caution during morning commutes.

First Public Execution of Iranian Protester Set for Today
by Astrid Callahan
Iran’s regime has scheduled the execution of 26-year-old Erfan Soltani for January 14, set to mark the first hanging directly linked to the ongoing anti-government protests. Soltani, arrested during demonstrations in Karaj last week, faces charges of “waging war against God” after a trial where he was denied legal representation. Human rights organizations report that his only apparent offense was joining calls for freedom amid widespread economic collapse and demands for regime change.
Protests erupted across Iran in late December 2025, fueled by soaring inflation, unemployment, and corruption under the ayatollahs’ rule. Security forces have responded with brutal force, leading to over 500 confirmed deaths, though some estimates from groups like Iran International and Amnesty International suggest the toll could approach 6,000.
A nationwide internet blackout has hampered communication, allowing atrocities to unfold in the shadows, as documented by Human Rights Watch. Demonstrators in Tehran and other cities have burned symbols of the regime, overturned vehicles, and chanted for an end to theocratic control.
President Donald Trump addressed the crisis directly on Truth Social, stating, “Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!” He followed with a stern warning: “They better not start shooting, because we’ll start shooting, too.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt affirmed that diplomacy remains the priority, but added that Trump “has shown he’s unafraid to use military options if and when he deems necessary.”
In a move to isolate Tehran economically, Trump announced immediate 25% tariffs on goods from any nation conducting business with Iran. This policy, detailed in statements from the White House, targets countries like China, India, and Turkey, aiming to starve the regime of resources. Sources from Reuters and CNBC indicate the administration is also considering targeted strikes or cyber operations against Iranian military assets if the crackdown escalates.
Senator Rand Paul voiced caution against hasty involvement, arguing on Sunday that U.S. intervention could rally Iranians around their leaders and bypass constitutional requirements for congressional approval. “We wish freedom and liberation the best across the world, but I don’t think it’s the job of the American government to be involved with every freedom movement around the world,” Paul said.
Advisor Metals
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed U.S. threats, declaring Tehran “fully prepared for war.” This rhetoric echoes past confrontations, raising questions about hidden alliances propping up the regime—perhaps ties to global networks that benefit from Middle Eastern instability, including those opposed to American energy independence.
The plight of protesters like Soltani recalls biblical accounts of the oppressed crying out for justice. Christians in Iran face similar perils, with reports from Open Doors noting increased persecution amid the unrest, including arrests for sharing faith.
If Soltani is executed, eyes will turn to Washington. Will Trump act decisively to support those risking everything for liberty, or will diplomatic channels prevail? The coming days could define not just Iran’s future, but America’s role in confronting regimes that thrive on fear and suppression.
Recent updates from Al Jazeera and Bloomberg confirm protests persist in pockets, with UN officials decrying “horrific violence” and mounting casualties. The National Union for Democracy in Iran urged the world to “be his voice” for Soltani, emphasizing the regime’s pattern of extrajudicial killings reminiscent of the 1980s massacres.

Reports: At least 2,000 protesters killed in Iran in 48 hours
Reports say Iran’s forces are using lethal fire on protesters nationwide, with at least 2,000 killed in the last 48 hours, amid a near-total internet blackout.
Israel National News Jan 11, 2026, 2:32 AM (GMT+2)
Iran Iranian protests 2 minutes
Protests in Iran Reuters
Informed sources told Iran International on Saturday night that Iranian security forces are using lethal force against protesters across the country, with early estimates pointing to mass casualties as a sweeping crackdown intensifies under a near-total internet shutdown.
Footage sent from Kahrizak, south of Tehran, shows several dead bodies in body bags. Eyewitnesses who provided the videos said dozens of bodies can be seen at the site, with additional bodies reportedly placed in another nearby industrial shed.
Earlier videos from Fardis, Karaj, and from Alghadir Hospital in eastern Tehran showed similar scenes of bodies on the ground, indicating what appears to be a mass killing unfolding in multiple locations, not limited to a few cities.
The internet blackout, which began on January 8, has made it nearly impossible to obtain a full picture of events. Still, the volume and consistency of reports reaching Iran International suggest that lethal force is being widely deployed to disperse protesters.
According to the news website, even the most conservative estimates indicate that at least 2,000 people have been killed in the past 48 hours.
Sources describe particularly intense violence in Fardis in Karaj and parts of Tehran, while stressing that similar reports are emerging from many other areas, including the western provinces of Ilam and Kermanshah.
Despite the near-total blackout, videos and messages continue to reach Iran International through limited channels, including Starlink users. These users are mostly in major cities and more affluent neighborhoods, leaving much of the country with little visibility. Even so, journalists say they are receiving credible indications that mass protests are continuing nationwide.
Footage published Saturday night showed protesters in Tehran's Poonak neighborhood setting fire to a local Bank Melli branch.
Additional footage showed protesters in the city of Ahvaz in southwestern Iran pouring into the streets and chanting "Long Live the Shah".
Meanwhile, a protester on Saturday climbed the balcony of the Iranian Embassy in western London, BBC reported.
The incident occurred during a protest held outside the building. Two people were arrested at the protest, and an additional suspect was sought for trespassing.
US Senator Lindsey Graham, who is considered close to US President Donald Trump, promised Iranian protesters "help," promising that their nightmare will soon end.
"TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE: your long nightmare is soon coming to a close," Graham wrote in a social media post. "Your bravery and determination to end your oppression has been noticed by @POTUS and all who love freedom."

Donald Trump: Iranian protesters looking at freedom, US 'stands ready to help'
"Admin officials have had preliminary discussions about how to carry out an attack on Iran if needed to follow through on Trump's threats," The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF JANUARY 10, 2026 20:45
Updated: JANUARY 11, 2026 13:39
US President Donald Trump announced that America "stands ready to help" since Iran "is looking at freedom," in a post on Truth Social on Saturday.
Admin officials have had preliminary discussions about how to carry out an attack on Iran if needed to follow through on Trump's threats. One option being discussed is a large-scale aerial strike on multiple Iranian military targets, sources told The Wall Street Journal on Saturday.
One official told The Wall Street Journal that an aerial strike on Iranian military assets was among the options under discussion. Another said there was no unified consensus on whether the administration would strike or what course of action to take, and that the US military had not made any moves in preparation for a strike.
Both officials told The Wall Street Journal that the administration was not planning an imminent attack on Iran, and that the discussions were part of normal planning.
Trump previously stated that if the Iranian regime forces "start killing people," the US will "hit them really hard" during an interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show on Thursday.

IRGC forces arrest foreigner accused of spying for Israel
Iran's Revolutionary Guards' intelligence wing said it had arrested a foreigner suspected of spying for Israel, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Saturday.
Protests have spread across Iran since December 28 in response to soaring inflation and quickly turning political, with protesters demanding an end to clerical rule. Authorities accuse the US and Israel of fomenting unrest.
The Iranian army said that it would “firmly safeguard national interests, strategic infrastructure, and public property. It also blamed Israel and so-called terrorist groups for the protests, and vowed to “thwart the enemy’s plots.”

Reports indicate that gold in Iran is being flown to Russia as Supreme Leader braces for collapse
Jan 10, 2026
Reports have surfaced indicating that the Iranian regime may be preparing for a potential collapse by moving significant assets out of the country.
According to a report by UNITED24 Media, Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft have been observed making an unusually high number of flights between southern Russia and Tehran.
These movements, which began in late December 2025 and continued into early 2026, occurred as nationwide protests against the Iranian government intensified, suggesting a coordinated effort to secure resources or leadership in the face of domestic instability.
The nature of these flights has drawn intense scrutiny from international observers. Analysis from trade publications suggests that the “repeated use of the same airframes over a short period and the preference for speed and reliability over cost pointed to deliberate tasking consistent with military logistics.”
This has led many to believe that the flights to Tehran were not standard commercial or cargo rotations, but rather a specialized operation intended to transport sensitive materials between the two allied nations.
Concerns about the contents of these planes were echoed in the British Parliament, where Conservative lawmaker Tom Tugendhat highlighted reports of “large amounts of gold leaving Iran.”
Tugendhat noted that while Russian cargo aircraft were landing in Tehran “presumably carrying weapons and ammunition,” there were simultaneously “reports of large amounts of gold leaving” the country. These actions have sparked questions about whether Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his inner circle are actively preparing “for life after the fall” of their current administration.
The suggestion that the Iranian leadership is looking for an exit strategy is bolstered by earlier intelligence suggesting a contingency plan to flee to Moscow.
As mass unrest continues to threaten the regime’s stability, the alleged transfer of gold serves as a physical indicator of the government’s precarious position. The report by UNITED24 Media underscores a growing sense of desperation in Tehran, as the leadership apparently prioritizes the relocation of wealth to a safe haven while the nation remains gripped by civil defiance.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed American financial aid to Israel and touched upon Iranian regime change in an interview with The Economist.
By GOLDIE KATZ, TOBIAS HOLCMAN
JANUARY 10, 2026 01:54 Updated: JANUARY 10, 2026 02:08
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared his aim to taper off Israeli reliance on American aid, discussed Israel’s public perception crisis, and touched upon ongoing anti-regime protests in Iran during an interview with The Economist published on Friday.
For the first time in public, Netanyahu revealed that he may not seek to fully renew the 3.8 billion dollar American military assistance package that Israel receives annually. The package is due for renegotiation in 2028.
Netanyahu told The Economist that he plans to fully taper reliance on American support to zero within the next ten years, a move he claimed is already “in progress.”
The prime minister additionally assured that he “will continue to fight for the allegiance of the American people.”
Netanyahu also mentioned that he wants Israel to be “as independent as possible,” stating that reduced reliance on American financial aid may help in Israel’s fight to preserve a positive public perception.
“I’d like to do everything I can to fight the propaganda war waged against us,” Netanyahu told The Economist.
He described the uphill battle against misinformation as Israel using “cavalry against F-35s,” due to social media being “flooded… with the fake bots and many other things.”
“The vilifications that were delivered on Jewish people are now delivered on to Jewish state,” Netanyahu stated.
He elaborated on the history of the vilification of the Jewish people, recounting that since the Middle Ages, allegations that “we were poisoning the wells, we were spreading vermin, we were slaughtering Christian children for the Passover festival using their blood” have consistently proliferated.
The prime minister added that he believes Israel is held to “an impossible standard” when it comes to international judgment of the Israel-Hamas War, adding that he doubts “that Churchill could pursue World War Two if people saw what happened there.”
The prime minister shared that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas may ease international criticism of the Jewish State, predicting that “ the ease with which propaganda takes over facts, or fact-checking,” may dissipate “the minute the intense fighting stops.”
Netanyahu's comments on the Iranian threat
Netanyahu additionally commented on the Iranian threat and the anti-regime protests that are ongoing across Iran.
When asked about the possibility of regime change, Netanyahu stated that it is not Israel’s goal, but it could be the “consequence of the war.”
He reflected on the impact of the joint US-Israeli strikes that destroyed much of Iran’s nuclear capabilities in June 2025, stating that the strikes had relegated the regime from a preeminent power to a second-rate power.
Netanyahu added that the military defeat faced by Iran during the twelve-day war, paired with the “terrible mismanagement of their domestic affairs,” including “pouring billions and billions into the terror axis” while doing nothing for the benefit of the Iranian people, may have grave implications for the future of the regime.
“These two things are meeting now,” Netanyahu posited, “and it may be a moment where the people of Iran take charge of their own destiny. Revolutions are best done from within.”
Netanyahu denied that Israel has any plans to intervene as the Iranian people have taken to the streets to protest the regime, stating that he believes that close observations of the events in Iran are necessary.
He added that there is “one definite time when [Israel] would resume military activities. “If Iran attacks us, which they might, then there will be horrible consequences for Iran. Everything else, I think we should see what is happening inside Iran.”

Report: Over 200 dead in Tehran as regime forces open fire on protesters
Trump meanwhile reiterates pledge to back peaceful protesters with force, saying 'Iran's in big trouble. We're watching... If they start killing people like they have in the past, we'll get involved'
Protests against the Islamic regime in Iran continued early Saturday morning, amid a reported deadly crackdown on demonstrators. TIME magazine cited a Tehran doctor speaking on condition of anonymity that just six hospitals in the capital recorded at least 217 killed protesters, “most by live ammunition.”
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier in the day slammed the protesters as foreign-influenced agitators, dismissing U.S. President Donald Trump as having hands “stained with the blood of Iranians.”
State media later referred to the demonstrators as “terrorists,” setting the stage for a violent crackdown as in other protests in recent years.
Protesters are “ruining their own streets ... in order to please the president of the United States,” Khamenei said. “Because he said that he would come to their aid. He should pay attention to the state of his own country instead.”
Trump meanwhile reiterated his pledge to back peaceful protesters with force.
"Iran's in big trouble. It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible," he said in a video circulated on social media. "We're watching. I made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved."

Nuclear countdown: Iran races for warheads while regime teeters
Khamenei's warhead authorization comes amid unprecedented domestic turmoil – creating dangerous conditions for strategic miscalculation.
by Israel Shamay/Makor Rishon
Published on 01-09-2026 08:30 Last modified: 01-09-2026 13:21
Iranian affairs researcher Dr. Raz Zimmt told Persian radio network Radio Farda on Monday that he does not foresee an imminent Israeli strike against Iran. "Looking at the two primary potential targets for Israeli attack – the nuclear issue and ballistic missiles," he stated in the interview.
"Regarding the nuclear file, nothing significant has developed. Construction continues at several Iranian installations, but nothing connected to uranium enrichment or weapons manufacturing – at least from what I can determine," Zimmt explained. "On the ballistic missile front, yes, certain improvements have materialized since June, but the situation hasn't reached the threshold where Israel would opt to strike. My assessment suggests Iran has likely recovered to somewhere near its pre-war missile inventory – possibly even below that figure."
For years, Islamic Republic Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has prevented uranium enrichment to weapons-grade 90% purity and blocked development of miniaturized nuclear warheads capable of ballistic missile delivery.
A report published two weeks ago by Italian research institute ISPI, drawing on Tehran sources, revealed that Khamenei authorized miniaturized nuclear warhead development for ballistic missiles last October – while continuing to withhold approval for 90% enrichment. Meanwhile, intelligence suggests a clandestine enrichment program operates at an undeclared location, beyond International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reporting. Since Operation Rising Lion in June, the IAEA has faced severely restricted access to nuclear facilities.
Zimmt addressed the ballistic missile dimension as well. "This isn't purely a numbers game – missile characteristics matter enormously. How vulnerable are they to interception? Do they use solid fuel? What precision can they achieve? Production volume tells only part of the story. But my fundamental point stands – I don't perceive this as demanding immediate action. What troubles me more is that Iran's deteriorating domestic conditions heighten the danger of catastrophic misjudgment."
The senior researcher offered this analysis notwithstanding last week's meeting between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, where they discussed Iran extensively. "The topic definitely arose, but establishing red lines was the critical question – defining precisely what conditions would trigger an Israeli or American military response if Iran persists in capability restoration. We haven't arrived at a juncture where Israel considers striking now an imperative."
"Obviously there's the argument for capitalizing on the current moment, given Iran's compromised air defense posture. But even there, I don't believe the clock demands action tomorrow. Iran may need additional time before presenting a threat magnitude Israel would classify as strategic," he concluded.
"What occurred in Venezuela, President Trump's readiness to deploy force when required to generate meaningful change, and Trump's rhetoric undoubtedly stimulate Israeli hopes that something comparable might unfold in Iran and trigger regime transformation."
External assistance: Who could accelerate Iran's nuclear timeline?
While the nuclear threat may not materialize immediately, Tehran remains far from passive, and Khamenei's authorization for nuclear warhead development signals they're advancing toward nuclear power status.
Compact warhead engineering represents a pivotal weaponization phase – converting nuclear material into deployable weapons. This constitutes an extraordinarily demanding challenge mastered by only a handful of nations worldwide, particularly daunting for a state that recently lost its foremost nuclear scientists. Pakistan's experience demonstrates that even absent comprehensive nuclear testing, reaching operational capability required roughly 15 years.
Tehran presumably relies on foreign support to dramatically compress this timeline and offset expertise eliminated through scientist assassinations. Which nation might provide such aid?
China
China leads global oil consumption. The Strait of Hormuz channels approximately 45% of Chinese oil imports, originating predominantly from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran. Beijing worries that nuclear-armed Iran would destabilize the region and compromise the vital energy pipeline the Persian Gulf provides. More broadly, nuclear confrontation or warfare involving Iran poses substantial dangers to worldwide energy markets, disruptions that would simultaneously undermine Chinese economic expansion and domestic financial equilibrium.
Facilitating Iran's atomic weapon acquisition, violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, threatens Beijing's relationships with Gulf monarchies headed by Saudi Arabia, Washington, and European Union members – China's two dominant commercial partners. Furthermore, impoverished and subordinate Iran in its current condition generates considerable Chinese revenue streams.
Fundamentally – Beijing confronts enormous potential losses from Iranian nuclearization.
Russia
Moscow-Tehran connections have intensified recently – encompassing a sweeping strategic partnership accord reinforcing military, economic, and energy collaboration spanning two decades forward. Nevertheless, President Vladimir Putin has long regarded nuclear-capable Iran as jeopardizing regional equilibrium, particularly in strategic zones throughout Central Asia and the Caspian basin where Russian interests concentrate, potentially eroding Moscow's leverage across territories once comprising the Soviet Union.
These anxieties explain Moscow's policy shift immediately following disclosure of Iran's clandestine nuclear program in 2002. By 2005, Russia had executed multiple accords with Tehran mandating repatriation of expended nuclear fuel from Bushehr reactor facilities, while broadly constraining collaborative activities with Iran. Ultimately, Moscow rebuffed every Tehran initiative seeking authorization for domestic Russian armament production. Reports following Operation Rising Lion indicated the Kremlin even pressured Tehran toward IAEA compliance.
Moscow comprehends that facilitating Islamic Republic nuclear acquisition would substantially impair Western diplomatic relationships, and paralleling China's position, the Kremlin derives advantage from Iran's present circumstances.
Pakistan
Pakistan navigates intricate international dynamics. While India constitutes its primary security challenge, Islamabad concurrently sustains robust security and economic connections with Washington and American-aligned nations, principally Saudi Arabia, representing pivotal elements in its regional defense architecture. Following the American-brokered Pakistan-India ceasefire, Islamabad-Washington relations have thawed considerably, and Islamabad's October nuclear accord with Riyadh, Tehran's foremost Muslim adversary, signals the nation's trajectory toward Iranian disengagement.
Additionally, Pakistan, enduring decades of international weapons-related censure, possesses compelling incentives to avoid nuclear technology transfers to Iran, recognizing such actions would compromise diplomatic standing and invite severe sanctions.
North Korea
While Chinese, Russian, and Pakistani participation appears feasible yet improbable, Tehran's focus likely concentrates on Pyongyang.
Iranian-North Korean security collaboration stretches across decades, centered predominantly on ballistic missile technologies. Western intelligence assessments confirm Pyongyang previously furnished Tehran with missile capabilities constituting foundational elements of Iran's current arsenal. This partnership has encompassed military delegations and technical expertise exchanges between the nations.
Distinguishing itself from the previous three candidates, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un's authoritarian state maintains overt Western antagonism and conducts virtually zero commercial activity with Western economies. Both regimes characterize American power as representing existential danger, generating mutual incentives for collaboration.
Nevertheless, nuclear warhead assembly constitutes sophisticated operations even possessing requisite expertise. Furthermore, Kim presumably resists knowledge transfers revealing substantial classified information regarding North Korean capabilities, given that warhead engineering demands sustained engineer integration over extended periods, collaborative testing protocols, hands-on instruction, specialized materials, and additional requirements – comprehensive pathways generating detectable intelligence signatures. Moreover, information relocated to Iranian territory multiplies vulnerability to adversarial compromise from Pyongyang's perspective. Mossad's documented infiltration depth within Iran doubtless undermined North Korean assurance regarding Tehran's information security capacity.
Fundamentally – North Korean participation in nuclear warhead engineering remains presently speculative. Israeli discourse continues debating whether Iran approaches "bomb proximity," while Tehran concentrates on fundamentally different considerations: advancing nuclear weaponization toward accomplished reality – before detection occurs.

China Warns USA "If you want war, you will get war"
Hal Turner World January 09, 2026 Hits: 10574
Victor Gao, President of China Energy Security Institute issued a stunningly stark warning to the United States today. Video below in English.
Gao said, in part “If you want war, you will get war; if you want to destroy China, you will be destroyed. China will not fire the first shot, but China will not allow you to fire the second shot.”
He also made some incredible remarks about China's new DF-61 ICBM, claiming (probably erroneously) it contains SIXTY nuclear warheads plus ONE hydrogen bomb.
He said it can reach anywhere on planet earth in about twenty minutes!
Watch:
A prominent government employee does not make remarks like this unless Beijing WANTS these remarks made.

The Democrats Last Rodeo: The Suicide Of The Democrat Party Has Gone Live, Donald Trump Assisting
January 9, 2026 By James Howard Kunstler - All News Pipeline
". . .the Minnesota protests look less like a local eruption and more like the latest deployment of an international revolutionary machine." —Insurrection Barbie on "X"
Chrump, Chrump Chrump. . . . He’s come to occupy the Left’s minds like an infestation of weevils chawing away the ligaments of civilized society. But, of course, the whole wicked, Cluster-B, anomie-driven, insurrectionist extravaganza is a made-for-video production bought and paid for by a tiny coterie of super-wealthy megalomaniacs untouched by consequence — George and Alex Soros (The Open Society Foundations), Shanghai-based American Neville Roy Singham (Codepink and more), Reid Hoffman (funder of Trump prosecutions and more), Lauren Powell Jobs (The Atlantic and the Emerson Collective), Hansjorg Wyss (Berger Action Fund), Bill Gates (of course). . . .
Their main client in all this mischief is the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party’s chief motivation, its raison d’être going on at least ten years now, has been to hide its multifarious crimes, its vast racketeering operations now garishly on display in the state of Minnesota, where the grift just went too far and was done right in America’s face.
Who can possibly fail to see how it works? Import a bunch of people from a foreign land. . . enable them to set up a vast network of social services frauds. . . organize them for ballot harvesting and election fraud. . . and kick-back bundles of money to Democratic Party politicians. If anybody notices, yell “racist!” Sound the klaxon to turn out a thousand LARPing protesters on the Soros payroll. Provide them with signs, banners, black-bloc outfits, cartoon costumes, pride flags, umbrellas, snacks, bullhorns, pallets of bricks, and hope that some of them get hurt so you can manufacture the next martyr.
The crescendo of this long-running seditious treason was the wide open border during the four-year fake presidency of “Joe Biden,” including the colossal coordinated scam of funding who-knows-how-many NGOs with additional US taxpayer money, funneled through the UN, to process, transport, and outfit with social security numbers and debit cards X-millions of alien mutts, professional terrorists, gang-bangers, mental patients, and actual soldiers from faraway lands, and sprinkle them into every cranny of the republic to queer the next election and otherwise cause as much disruption as possible to the everyday life of actual US citizens.
They flooded the country with millions dependent on the Democratic Party’s largess — your tax dollars — and now they are doing everything possible to prevent the removal of this riffraff back to their countries of origin. Starting a civil war over it, in fact, because that’s what it’s come to. The federal agents tasked with the removal operation are apparenty not allowed to defend themselves when the LARPing street cadres attack them. There have been 66 car attacks against ICE officers since January, 2025. State and local officials in Minneapolis have behaved so dishonestly that federal investigators kicked them off what is now a federal case in the matter of “ICE-tracker” Renee Nicole Good, shot dead at the scene in her car. Minnesota will not be permitted to turn ICE agent Jonathan Ross into another Derek Chauvin. That sort of hustle is over.
What you can now discern in the winter darkness through fog of tear gas is that the Democratic Party will choose to destroy the country rather than face the consequences of its long-running crimes. Everybody knows now that the sort of social services grifts uncovered in Minnesota, with the kickbacks to Democratic politicians, have been going on all over America. The president has ordered an “all-of-government” effort to find the fraud and prosecute it, and you can assume the effort will tend to concentrate on the very states and cities where the Democratic Party dominates. Expect election fraud to bubble up in this cauldron. The evidence of a stolen 2020 election is finally emerging and converging with the larger illegal immigrant story.
It’s also clear now, that the NGO racket associated with all that is going to be dismantled — the money-stream from the likes of Soros & friends. They are going to get RICOed, their assets could be seized, and the public will learn a whole lot more about the damage they have done to the country. The Left’s NGOs not only support the on-the-ground street action, they also provide thousands of “executive” jobs and salaries to the Maoist nose-rings and transy-boys churned out of the higher ed diploma mills who are otherwise unemployable in any real economy with their race-and-gender studies diplomas.
The Democratic Party apparently realizes that the latest round of scandals and crimes might be its last rodeo. After a day of hearings this week, featuring several Minnesota politicos who testified about sketchy goings-on in the state, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FLA) launched criminal referrals against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and MN Attorney General Keith Ellison. That’s apart from whatever the DOJ has already been working on, and it is probably the beginning of a nation-wide web of prosecutions moving toward the midterm election that will drag in many other big dawgs of the party, including 2028 front-runner Gavin Newsom. The suicide of the Democratic Party has gone live, Donald Trump assisting.

At least six people are killed in Mississippi shooting rampage as gunman opens fire at three locations
By WILL POTTER, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER
Published: 02:08 EST, 10 January 2026 | Updated: 14:00 EST, 10 January 2026
At least six people were killed during a spree shooting in a northeastern Mississippi town on Friday night, authorities said.
Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said in a Facebook post early Saturday morning that law enforcement took an individual into custody and that there was 'no longer a threat to our community.'
The suspected shooter, Daricka M. Moore, 24, was booked into the Clay County jail at 3:25am on Saturday on a first degree murder charge.
Scott later told WTVA that the shooting took place at three different locations in West Point, a town of about 10,000 people.
Investigators told the outlet that the first shooting broke out on David Hill Road, where three people were killed.
The second happened on Blake Road, where one person died. The third took place on Siloam-Griffith Road, where two people died, police said.
'Unfortunately tonight we have dealt with tragedy in our community,' Scott wrote on social media. 'I ask that you lift our victims and their families in your prayers. Law enforcement is busy investigating and will release an update as soon as possible.'
With the initial absence of concrete details, residents reacted with horror over the tragedy and showed gratitude to the police officers who intervened.
'Thank you for the update. Such a horrible night for a family and community,' wrote Leslie Ann Mackey underneath the sheriff's post.
'Thank you all for your quick and dedicated response to this travesty. My prayers are with all the victims' families and for all of you offices (sic). You all worked diligently and professionally and the community is grateful for all of our officers. May God Bless our community,' wrote Gertrude Gaskin.
The Daily Mail has contacted the Clay County Sheriff's Office for more information.

Japan
attacked the U.S Pacific Fleet at its base at Pearl Harbor
on the 7th of December 1941, but what led to that decision? Why did the Japanese
attack the USA? - The answer is oil.
Japan
had been modernising its economy throughout the 20th century and wanted to build
an empire of its own. However, Japan lacked the natural
resources to make it a reality, with all but 6%
of its oil supply being imported. After capturing Manchuria, Japan became
bogged down in a full-scale war with China in 1937 and had to look elsewhere for
the resources it needed to fight. Meanwhile, the USA was slowly awakening from
its isolationism.
When
Japan occupied French Indochina in 1941, America
retaliated by freezing all Japanese assets in the states, preventing Japan from
purchasing oil. Having lost 94% of its oil supply
and unwilling to submit to U.S demands, Japan planned to take the oil needed by
force. However, striking south into British Malaya and the Dutch East
Indies would almost certainly provoke an armed U.S response. To blunt that
response, Japan decided to attack the U.S Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, hoping
that the U.S would negotiate peace.
The
attack at Pearl Harbor was a huge gamble, but one which did not pay off. Though
Japan took its objectives in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, the U.S did not
respond as expected. Instead of reverting to isolationism, the U.S geared up for
total war and Japan's fate was sealed.

U.S. forces seize 5th oil tanker linked to Venezuela
By Eleanor Watson, Lucia I Suarez Sang
Updated on: January 9, 2026 / 8:19 PM EST / CBS News
Add CBS News on Google
A fifth oil tanker linked to Venezuela was interdicted by U.S. forces in the Caribbean, U.S. Southern Command confirmed on Friday.
Two U.S. officials confirmed to CBS News that the Coast Guard, supported by the Navy, was in the process of seizing the Olina oil tanker.
Southern Command said Marines and sailors launched from the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier for the pre-dawn operation to support the Department of Homeland Security as part of "its mission to defend our homeland by ending illicit activity and restoring security in the Western Hemisphere."
The command posted unclassified footage on social media of a U.S. helicopter landing on the vessel and U.S. personnel searching the deck.
"Once again, our joint interagency forces sent a clear message this morning: 'there is no safe haven for criminals,'" U.S. Southern Command said in a statement on X.
In a Truth Social post on Friday, President Trump said the tanker had departed Venezuela "without our approval" and is now on its way back to the South American country.
"The oil will be sold through the GREAT Energy Deal, which we have created for such sales," Mr. Trump said.
U.S. government records show that the Olina was sanctioned for moving Russian oil under its prior name, Minerva M, and flagged in Panama, the Associated Press reported.
While records show that the Olina is now flying the flag of Timor-Leste, it is also listed in the international shipping registry as having a false flag, meaning the registration it is claiming is not valid, the AP reported. In July, the owner and manager of the ship on its registration was changed to a company in Hong Kong.
According to ship tracking databases, the Olina last transmitted its location in November in the Caribbean, north of the Venezuelan coast, the AP reported. Since then, however, the ship has been running dark with its location beacon turned off.
The ship has a listed cargo capacity of up to 890,000 barrels of oil, which at the current market price of about $60 a barrel would be about $53 million.
The Olina is the fifth tanker that has been seized by U.S. forces as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to control the distribution of Venezuela's oil products globally following the U.S. ouster of President Nicolás Maduro.
Two tankers were interdicted on Wednesday— one in the North Atlantic and one in the Caribbean Sea, officials said.
The U.S. European Command confirmed the seizure of the Marinera, a Venezuela-linked oil tanker formerly known as Bella-1, in the North Atlantic after pursuing it from the coast of South America. U.S. Southern Command announced that the other intercepted vessel, M/T Sophia, was "conducting illicit activities" in international waters in the Caribbean.
Ships like the Marinera are part of a so-called shadow fleet of ships that illegally transport oil from sanctioned nations like Russia, Iran and Venezuela.
Maduro has rejected U.S. allegations about how the vessels are being used and accuses the U.S. of plundering Venezuelan resources under the cover of law enforcement.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who shared a longer video of the seizure on Friday, said the Olina was a "ghost fleet" tanker ship that departed Venezuela, "attempting to evade U.S. forces."
"The ghost fleets will not outrun justice. They will not hide under false claims of nationality," Noem said on X. "The Coast Guard will seize sanctioned oil tankers, enforce U.S. and international law, and eliminate these funding streams for illicit activity including narco-terrorism."
After the U.S. capture of Maduro earlier this month, Mr. Trump has pitched Venezuela's oil wealth as a way to financially fuel the country's economic recovery — and deliver benefits for energy consumers and oil companies. He told Fox News' Sean Hannity in an interview that aired Thursday night that he's expecting oil companies to spend at least $100 billion to "rebuild the whole oil infrastructure" in the South American country.
Mr. Trump is meeting with big oil industry executives on Friday afternoon. CEOs from Chevron, Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Continental, Halliburton, HKN, Valero, Marathon, Shell, Trafigura, Vitol Americas, Repsol, Eni, Aspect Holdings, Tallgrass, Raisa Energy and Hilcorp will be at the White House for the meeting.

'Comrade' Singham to face House subpoena as his CCP-tied network leads renewed anti-ICE protests
China may be helping astroturf far-left protests against ICE via a financial network in league with radical-left financier and multi-millionaire Neville Roy Singham. Singham funds a network of groups expressing anti-American sentiment. He will now face a Congressional subpoena.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., posted on Instagram earlier this week that “I have formally made a motion to subpoena Neville Singham, an American billionaire with ties to the CCP.” In her comments during the House Oversight Committee session on Wednesday, Luna said that Singham “has been funding extremist organizations fueling division and civil unrest in this country and especially regarding the ICE riots last summer.”
House Committee approves subpoena to Singham
Luna made her case to the House committee on Wednesday about why Singham should be compelled to testify, and the motion to issue a subpoena was approved by a voice vote. That vote also included approval of unrelated subpoenas, including targets of the Jeffrey Epstein matter.
“Neville Singham was referred to the Department of Justice, I believe, for FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] violations by then Senator Rubio when he served on the … Senate Intelligence Committee,” Luna said. “Neville Singham, regardless of what you might feel about your colleagues, has been a mechanism and funding arm of the Chinese Communist Party.”
Luna added: “He’s not a registered agent under FARA, and has been connected to a number of riots, including the anti-ICE riots being funded in Los Angeles … and has been avoiding our request to have him come bring information to Congress. He is definitely someone that is anti-American ideologically… and is funding groups known to sow discord in this country… He is a known foreign agent to China. … He should face a subpoena. … In the event that he does not comply with this subpoena, I will be making a motion for inherent contempt.”
Rep. David Min, D-Calif., briefly raised concerns on Wednesday about the process by which Luna’s motion was being brought, but Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., intervened and recommended that the Democrats vote yes.
Luna added that Singham has been avoiding receipt of the House’s request for information for months and has been funding groups aimed at dividing Americans.
The House Oversight Committee had previously sent a June 2025 letter to Singham, lamenting that “the Biden Department of Justice failed to curb your support of civil unrest, and your activities have recently expanded to include the foment of unrest and civil disobedience in Los Angeles—prompting President Trump to call in the National Guard to counterattacks on federal law enforcement officials.”
“The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating your reported funding of various extremist entities in the United States. Reportedly, you have supported these groups with the aim of causing destruction and division in our country — including most recently through ongoing riots and violence in Los Angeles, California,” the House letter to Singham said. “Moreover, the Committee is concerned that you may be engaging in such activities on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party — and that your activity may violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.”
The letter demanded Singham hand over “all documents and communications referencing any form of agreement between you among or between the PSL, the People’s Forum, the ANSWER Coalition, and any group with ties to the CCP.”
Luna had said Wednesday that Singham ignored them.
Singham-sponsored groups organizing protests
A review by Just the News found that many of the anti-ICE protests which quickly sprang up on Wednesday and Thursday were organized and promoted by the far-left Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), with help from the Marxist revolutionary group known as The People’s Forum, and with some participation from the radical anti-war group Code Pink and the leftist Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition.
Singham married Jodie Evans, the co-founder of Code Pink, in 2017. Her group touts itself as antiwar and has become increasingly pro-China in recent years.
Just the News previously reported on how these and other radical activist groups have leadership links or financial ties to a funding network backed by wealthy Marxist businessman Neville Roy Singham, who himself has connections to the CCP. Coincidentally or fortuitously, the GOP-led House Oversight Committee voted on Thursday to subpoena Singham for information about this sprawling activist network.
FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News on Thursday that his agents are investigating the organizers and funders of anti-immigration enforcement protests for impeding law enforcement activities and endangering public safety.
The PSL says it has dozens of chapters nationwide — and it has activated them to protest ICE and to combat the Trump Administration’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
The PSL is closely tied to a number of groups which are part of Singham’s funding network, including the Marxist-oriented People’s Forum and the far-left BreakThrough News media outlet — both of which also quickly swung into anti-ICE action. The forum is a Marxist revolutionary group that is pro-Communism, pro-China, and anti-Israel — and it played a key role in organizing anti-ICE protests in New York City on Wednesday and picketing against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in Manhattan on Thursday.
Just the News previously reported last year that the PSL — which openly calls for revolution to bring down the current American system and which publicly sympathizes with murderous Communist regimes — had been a leader in organizing and fueling anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles as well as in other cities nationwide in 2025.
Just the News also reported this week about how Chinese state-run propaganda outlets are promoting U.S. protests against the Trump Administration’s arrest of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro — and about how those anti-Trump and pro-Maduro protests are also being organized by the same Singham financial network.
The PSL, BreakThrough News, and the People’s Forum did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
CCP-linked network quickly activates same day as ICE shooting, call it "murder"
The PSL seemed to take the anti-ICE protest lead for the Singham network on Wednesday, hours after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent after she allegedly disobeyed law enforcement orders to exit her vehicle and drove at an agent standing in front of her car.
“BREAKING: ICE agents have shot and killed a legal observer while conducting a raid in Minneapolis. Video evidence clearly shows that ICE is lying when they claim self-defense,” the PSL tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “The ICE operation in the city is part of a racist crackdown directed especially at Somalis in the city. We demand that these murderers leave our communities immediately and stop kidnapping our neighbors!”
The post on X included a graphic declaring “ICE Murderers Out of Our Communities” and the tweet was reshared by the ANSWER Coalition.
The PSL soon claimed that “the video evidence confirms this was a cold-blooded murder, and any claim that the ICE killer was acting in self-defense is an outrageous lie.” The group added: “The ICE operation in the city is part of a racist crackdown directed especially at Somalis in the city. We demand that these murderers leave our communities immediately and stop kidnapping our neighbors!”
Ramping up outrage, protests nationwide
The PSL also touted an anti-ICE march in Tucson featuring a large protest headed by a group carrying a large PSL banner, and also promoted Wednesday marches in Seattle and Boston with video of the protests where numerous PSL signs were displayed. The socialist group also promoted videos of Wednesday marches in Milwaukee, Columbus, New York, and elsewhere.
The PSL also retweeted a post by leftwing activist Claudia De La Cruz — PSL’s presidential nominee in the 2024 race against Donald Trump and Kamala Harris — arguing that “we must urgently organize and mobilize our communities to stand up and say enough is enough. Justice for Renee Nicole Good!”
De La Cruz said in a 2024 interview about her campaign as the PSL nominee to be U.S. president that “I co-founded and co-directed … the People’s Forum.” The forum says that De la Cruz “is a central committee member of The Party for Socialism and Liberation” and that “in 2018, she co-founded The People’s Forum.” De La Cruz is listed as a director at the forum in tax records.
The “Program of the Party for Socialism and Liberation” — essentially PSL’s political platform — declares that the group’s members are “Marxists in the United States.” The platform is heavy on calls for Communist revolution.
Blending Minnesota ICE shooting with Maduro's capture
The People’s Forum also took quick action on Wednesday. The forum’s director, Manolo De Los Santos, declared on X that “the cold blooded killing of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis and Trump’s bombing of over 100 people in Venezuela are connected acts of the same brutal machine. We must dismantle the U.S. empire, or it will dismantle us.”
The Manhattan-based People’s Forum tweeted on Wednesday that “ICE murdered a legal observer in Minneapolis this morning. We won't allow ICE terror in our communities. TAKE THE STREETS TONIGHT!” This was reposted by the ANSWER Coalition.
“NOW: just hours after the brutal ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good, New Yorkers have taken the [sic] streets to make it heard loud and clear: from Minneapolis to NYC—Stop ICE terror!” the forum tweeted later in the day. “We won’t stand for ICE to murder our people and terrorize our communities.”
In the video shared by the forum, Santos claimed that “Renee’s killers weren’t just the ones wearing ICE uniforms today. Renee’s murder is state-sanctioned murder. Renee’s murder has Trump’s signature on it.”
The forum announced its future protests on Wednesday, saying on X that “tomorrow, Kristi Noem, the leader of ICE, is coming to NYC. Join us in Foley Square at 9AM to tell her she isn’t welcome here! ICE OUT OF NEW YORK!”
The People’s Forum said in a follow-on tweet: “TELL KRISTI NOEM: YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE—EMERGENCY RALLY TOMORROW! ... ICE OUT OF NEW YORK, ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!”
Code Pink also got in on the action, with co-founder Medea Benjamin posting that “this is what state terrorism really looks like. … ICE out of our communities! Now!
The Singham-linked BreakThrough News outlet — closely tied to the People’s Forum — also documented and promoted anti-ICE protests throughout the day on Wednesday. The tax forms for the outlet show that many of the group’s top leaders are all tied to the PSL as well.
BreakThrough News posted multiple times about a Minneapolis vigil for Good on Wednesday, and tweeted that evening, “HAPPENING NOW: Impromptu march erupts in Minneapolis for Renee Nicole Good, killed by ICE.”
The outlet also promoted anti-ICE marches on Wednesday located in Milwaukee, New York City, San Antonio, Columbus, Portland, Chicago, Seattle, Anchorage, Tucson and New Orleans.
The People’s Forum proceeded to share multiple videos of their anti-ICE and anti-Noem protest in New York City — calling it a “massive picket at World Trade Center” — with numerous PSL signs being waved by protesters.
Manolo De Los Santos led a call-and-response at the Thursday protest: “There’s a cold-blooded murderer giving a press conference on the 50th floor — Kristi Noem whose hands are not even dry yet with the blood of our sister Renee.” Santos referred to ICE as “her army of thugs, killers, and kidnappers.”
BreakThrough News also posted a video stating that “NYC marches against Head of DHS Kristi Noem. Noem is delivering a press conference at NYC ICE headquarters today just one day after the murder of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.”
About Neville “Comrade” Singham and the CCP
Singham, the wealthy tech executive, is lauded by The People's Forum and others as a true Marxist.
“For months we’ve been the target of a campaign that alleges our funding comes from ‘dark money.’ A few years ago we met Roy Singham, a Marxist comrade who sold his company & donated most of his wealth to non-profits that focus on political education, culture, & internationalism,” the People’s Forum tweeted in December 2021.
The New York Times reported that Singham works in Shanghai, that his efforts there are linked to the CCP, and that he has attended at least one CCP workshop on promoting the party globally.
The outlet also said Singham shares offices with a Chinese media company called Maku Group. The Chinese group’s “About Us” page — which has since been deleted but which was archived by the Wayback Machine in 2023 — says the goal of the company is to promote a positive vision of China worldwide.
Singham also wrote that he had served on the Central Committee of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers. The league, according to the Marxists Internet Archive, “played a key role in inspiring the Black Liberation Movement and spreading Marxist-Leninist ideas among Black workers and workers in general.” Singham reportedly worked as a “strategic technical consultant” with the Chinese government-linked Chinese telecom giant Huawei from 2001 to 2008, according to New Lines Magazine.
Then-senator and now Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the Biden Justice Department that “it appears that organizations tied to Neville Roy Singham, a U.S. citizen, have been receiving direction from the CCP.”
“I categorically deny and repudiate any suggestion that I am a member of, work for, take orders from, or follow instructions of any political party or government or their representatives,” Singham told The New York Times in 2023. “I am solely guided by my beliefs, which are my long-held personal views.”
With Singham’s socialist militant groups again leading nationwide protests, and with the House now prepared to issue the Marxist businessman a congressional subpoena, the spotlight on these revolutionaries, the organization and funding of the anti-Ice and pro-Maduro protests and their links to the CCP will likely only continue to grow.

Hidden threat from secret military base discovered lurking deep below Greenland's ice sheet
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 12:41 EST, 8 January 2026 | Updated: 13:45 EST, 8 January 2026
Scientists are sounding urgent alarms over a hidden Cold War threat buried deep beneath Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheet.
A long-abandoned US military base known as Camp Century was recently rediscovered under the ice after a NASA pilot conducting airborne radar tests captured images of its underground remains.
The base, built in secret during the Cold War, lies about 118 feet below the surface and spreads across an area roughly 0.7 miles long and 0.3 miles wide.
Once described as a self-contained underground town, Camp Century housed a hospital, theater, church and shop, and was powered by a small nuclear reactor.
As Greenland's ice melts at accelerating rates, scientists have warned that hazardous waste left behind at the site could eventually be released into the environment.
That waste includes chemical pollutants, biological sewage, diesel fuel, and radioactive material once thought to be safely sealed in ice forever.
Researchers now say that assumption was deeply flawed. 'What climate change did was press the gas pedal to the floor,' said James White, a climate scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Camp Century was constructed in the late 1950s with the knowledge of both the US and Danish governments under the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement.
Danish officials participated in planning and environmental monitoring, and historical reports indicate Denmark approved the disposal of some radioactive waste directly into the ice.
At the time, scientists and military planners believed Greenland's ice sheet would permanently entomb any contamination.
'That idea, that waste could be buried forever under ice, is unrealistic,' White said.
'The question is whether it's going to come out in hundreds of years, thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years. Climate change just means it's going to happen much faster than anyone expected.'
The environmental risk posed by Camp Century has taken on new urgency as geopolitical tensions in the Arctic intensify.
President Donald Trump renewed calls this week for US control of Greenland, citing national security concerns as Russian and Chinese activity in the region grows. 'It's so strategic,' Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday.
'Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.'
But scientists said the buried base represents a very different kind of security threat, one tied not to military rivals, but to pollution unleashed by a warming climate.
A team of international researchers led by the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder estimated that Camp Century contains roughly 9,200 tons of physical waste, including abandoned buildings, tunnels, and rail infrastructure.
The site also holds about 200,000 liters of diesel fuel and significant amounts of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, toxic chemicals once widely used in paints and electrical equipment.
PCBs are especially concerning because they do not break down easily and are linked to cancer, immune system damage, and developmental problems.
The Arctic's cold climate has trapped these chemicals for decades, effectively turning the region into a global storage site for pollution released elsewhere.
As ice melts, however, scientists warned that glaciers could become a new source of toxic contamination.
Most former Arctic military sites have undergone cleanup efforts, but Camp Century is one of only five abandoned ice-sheet bases near Thule Air Base that have never been remediated, according to the 2016 study by the CIRES research team.
At similar sites, PCB concentrations in some paints exceeded five percent by weight.
In addition to chemical and biological waste, Camp Century also contains radioactive material from the nuclear reactor's coolant system.
When it was buried in the early 1960s, the waste had a radioactivity of about 1.2 billion becquerels, roughly equivalent to the radiation used in a single medical scan.
While small compared to major nuclear accidents, researchers cautioned that its presence adds another layer of risk if containment fails.
The base's tunnel system twists and branches beneath the ice, making it difficult to fully map.
Airborne radar has detected strong reflections that align with known tunnel locations, but scientists say the technology cannot yet identify all buried waste.
Diesel fuel, stored in underground tanks, may still be liquid today, though researchers believe the tanks may have ruptured.
Models suggest that ice flow and snow accumulation could bury solid waste as deep as 220 feet and liquid waste around 305 feet by 2090.
While that means contamination may not surface for decades, scientists stressed that burial does not equal safety.
Beyond the environmental risks, Camp Century has become a source of political and legal uncertainty.
Responsibility for the cleanup remains disputed between the US, Denmark, and Greenland.
While the waste was left behind by the US, the original 1951 treaty did not account for climate change or Greenland's growing self-governance.
The agreement states that US property in Greenland may be removed or disposed of after consultation with Danish authorities.
But it remains unclear whether Denmark was fully consulted during Camp Century's decommissioning, raising questions about whether the abandoned waste is still legally US property.
Researchers said Camp Century may represent one of the first real examples of climate change triggering an international dispute over long-forgotten pollution, a preview of conflicts likely to emerge worldwide as rising seas and melting ice expose hazardous waste once thought safely buried.

Tornadoes tear across Mississippi as major storm threatens millions with severe weather, flash flooding
By Kieran Sullivan, Julian Atienza, FOX Weather
Published Jan. 9, 2026, 10:08 a.m. ET
JACKSON, Miss. — A powerful line of thunderstorms produced at least two radar-confirmed tornadoes in Mississippi around 6:30 a.m. CT.
These storms were powered by a cold front from a cross-country storm that’s delivering heavy rounds of rain to millions east of the Mississippi River, as parts of the Deep South and Gulf Coast remain in the bullseye for significant flash flooding and severe storms through Friday.
Tornado Warnings were issued across parts of Mississippi and Louisiana on Friday morning.
No word on the extent of any damage or injuries.
Damaging wind gusts are expected to remain the main threat of severe storms, but more tornadoes are possible.
This comes after the first cross-country storm spawned at least four tornadoes across Oklahoma on Thursday.
Meanwhile, an intense corridor of flash flooding will be possible Friday into Saturday across southern Mississippi near Hattiesburg and south of Jackson, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
Over eight million people are under a 2 out of 5 severe storm risk that is in place across parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and western Tennessee, with the highest risk extending from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, north to Memphis, Tennessee, and east to Birmingham, Alabama.
The continued threat of tornadoes comes after a strong EF-1 tornado ripped through Purcell, Oklahoma, as a line of storms moved through the area.
Though no one was injured, the tornado left a trail of destruction, downing power lines and uprooting trees.
The National Weather Service offices in Norman and Tulsa are still surveying damage, but confirmed three other tornadoes near the Oklahoma City area.
In a classic set up for severe weather in the South, multiple rounds of storms are expected Friday from the Tennessee Valley to the Gulf Coast, elevating the threat of flash flooding.
The first round will arrive on Friday morning to midday, followed by another round later in the afternoon and overnight.
Given the abundant moisture and the likelihood of repeated rounds of storms, flash flooding remains a concern across middle Tennessee, northern Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Rainfall totals will generally range from 2 to 3 inches across most of the Tennessee Valley; however, isolated pockets could see totals reach up to 5 inches.
However, the greatest threat covers parts of southern Mississippi, where NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center has issued a Level 3 out of 4 risk of flash flooding.
A corridor from Jackson to Hattiesburg could see rain rates of up to 3 inches per hour Friday, the FOX Forecast Center said.
Flood Watches are now up from New Orleans through Nashville, extending over 600 miles.
Many of the areas included in flood watches are currently in a drought, increasing the risk for flash flooding as the expected rainfall rates may exceed what the dry ground can absorb.
Severe weather may continue into Saturday as the cold front moves east.
A level 1 out of 5 severe storm risk is already in place across parts of Georgia and the Carolinas.
As the storm exits the region, the possibility of flash flooding remains across east Tennessee and western North Carolina.

Moscow accuses the US of “outright piracy” after it seized a tanker linked to Russia
Jan 7, 2026
In a sharp escalation of international tensions, the United States military carried out an operation in the North Atlantic to seize a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the waters between Iceland and the United Kingdom.
The vessel, known as the Marinera and formerly as Bella 1, had been under surveillance for weeks after fleeing a U.S. naval blockade near Venezuela designed to enforce sanctions.
U.S. and British forces, including surveillance aircraft and naval support, coordinated the interception and boarding, reflecting heightened cooperation between Washington and London on sanctions enforcement.
This action followed President Donald Trump’s aggressive policy to disrupt the so-called shadow fleet of tankers thought to be aiding sanctions evasion.
Moscow reacted furiously to the seizure, with Russian officials condemning it as a blatant violation of international maritime law and an act of “piracy.” Russian authorities argued that no nation has the right to use force against a ship legitimately registered under another state’s flag and demanded the safe return of the crew.
They also criticized what they view as Western overreach, expressing outrage that the operation occurred despite a Russian naval presence, including a submarine said to have been escorting the tanker.
U.S. and U.K. officials, for their part, defended the mission as lawful and necessary to uphold sanctions that target illicit oil shipments tied to countries like Venezuela, Iran, and Russia.
The British Ministry of Defence confirmed its forces provided pre-planned operational support to the U.S. effort, including naval and Royal Air Force surveillance assistance. While the tanker was reportedly empty at the time of capture, its seizure is seen as a symbolic and strategic blow against networks that Washington says fund destabilizing activities.

After The Silence: Why Venezuelan Christians See Hope After Maduro
By PNW Staff January 07, 2026
For years, Venezuelan Christians learned how to worship under watchful eyes. Sermons were measured. Humanitarian aid was rationed by permission. Pastors prayed boldly in private and cautiously in public. Under Nicolás Maduro, faith was not outlawed--but it was controlled, monitored, and punished when it refused to kneel. Now, with Maduro captured and removed from power, something unfamiliar is stirring across Venezuela's churches: hope that religious freedom might finally be more than a whispered prayer.
The persecution of the church in Venezuela was never as openly brutal as in Cuba or Nicaragua, but it was methodical, strategic, and deeply corrosive. Hugo Chávez laid the groundwork by fusing socialism with messianic political language, attempting to replace the moral authority of the church with loyalty to the state.
While he initially courted evangelicals, his embrace quickly soured. National expropriations stripped church-run schools and charities of resources. Government loyalists infiltrated congregations. Chávez's alignment with Cuba, open hostility toward Israel, and flirtations with Holocaust denial shocked Christian leaders who had once hoped for cooperation.
Maduro perfected this system of pressure. When intelligence surveys revealed that nearly one-third of Venezuelans identified as evangelical--far higher than most official estimates--the regime panicked. That number represented not just faith, but influence. Churches were one of the last functioning civil society institutions in a collapsing nation. At first, Maduro attempted charm: symbolic gestures, Bible distributions, public praise for "patriotic" pastors. But it was a trap. Those who accepted state favor were expected to repay it with silence.
Those who didn't paid a price.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the mask fell completely. As hunger spread and hospitals collapsed, churches stepped in with food programs, medicine distribution, and pastoral care. Instead of welcoming help, the regime restricted it. Permits were denied. Aid shipments were blocked. Pastors were warned not to distribute food without state approval. Maduro sought to maintain a monopoly on compassion--presenting the government as the sole provider of relief while portraying independent Christian charity as subversive. Feeding the hungry became a political act.
The legal machinery of repression followed. In March 2021, new "anti-terrorism" regulations forced NGOs and faith-based organizations to submit confidential records: donor identities, beneficiary names, internal plans. In practice, this transformed churches into open books for intelligence services. Many pastors understood what this meant--surveillance, intimidation, and eventual punishment. Some shut down ministries rather than expose vulnerable believers to government scrutiny.
Harassment intensified. According to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Venezuelan authorities routinely summoned pastors for questioning, threatened church leaders anonymously, and publicly attacked clergy who criticized corruption or human rights abuses. Religious radio stations faced pressure. Church-run media outlets were monitored. In one chilling example, journalist Carlos José Correa Barros of the Christian radio network Fe y Alegría was detained by masked military personnel in 2025 and disappeared for nine days before his release. The message was unmistakable: even Christian journalism was not safe.
Bureaucracy became another weapon. Religious groups were required to register with the Directorate of Justice and Religion, but approval could take years--or never arrive at all--unless loyalty to the regime was demonstrated. According to USCIRF, some churches waited nearly a decade for recognition. Without registration, churches could not legally operate, own property, or receive aid. Faith was reduced to paperwork, and paperwork was reduced to obedience.
Maduro also wielded Venezuela's so-called "Hate Law," a dystopian tool worthy of Orwell's 1984. Pastors who preached against corruption or spoke about moral accountability risked being accused of inciting hatred. Biblical truth itself became suspect. Corruption could be celebrated. Tyranny could be praised. But repentance was dangerous.
And yet, the church survived.
That survival is what makes this moment so powerful. Maduro's capture does not automatically restore freedom. Venezuela remains fragile. Institutions are damaged. Trust is thin. But for the first time in years, Christians can imagine rebuilding without fear of retaliation. Churches can envision reopening ministries, reclaiming humanitarian work, and speaking openly to a nation desperate for moral clarity.
Religious freedom is not a side issue in Venezuela's recovery--it is central. A nation cannot heal when conscience is policed and compassion is regulated. Christians have long filled the gaps left by a failed state: feeding families, educating children, comforting the grieving. Free the church, and you free one of the strongest forces for national renewal.
The hope spreading through Venezuela's congregations today is not triumphalism. It is sober, hard-earned faith. Believers know that freedom must be guarded, not assumed. But they also know this truth: darkness does not survive exposure.
If Venezuela is to rise from the ruins of authoritarian socialism, it will not be rebuilt by slogans or strongmen. It will be rebuilt by free people--serving freely, speaking freely, worshiping freely. For the first time in a generation, Venezuelan Christians are not just praying for endurance.
They are praying for revival--and for a nation finally free to believe.

China Loses Access to Venezuelan Oil
Posted Jan 8, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
China became Venezuela’s largest oil purchaser through oil-for-debt deals. Socialism failed, and the nation was desperate for funds, especially after being ostracized from Western trade. Beijing supplied Venezuela with credit in exchange for heavily discounted crude. China’s access to cheap oil from Venezuela came to a sudden halt after the US takeover.
China was purchasing around 778,000 barrels a day before Maduro’s capture. Venezuela had borrowed up to $100 billion from China in loans since 2007, using PDVSA crude sales to ChinaOil as collateral. Venezuela agreed to ship fixed volumes of crude to Chinese buyers through small “teapot” refineries. While the average output was 778,000 bpd DAILY, exports reached 952,000 bpd at the end of 2025. These flows accounted for 4% of China’s total oil imports.
China is now looking to Iran and Russia for crude, furthering the disconnect between the East and West. Cargoes secured in Asian waters can cover two and a half months of China’s demand, easing any immediate shocks. Yet, Venezuela still owes China around $19 billion in outstanding debt that was largely secured by long-term crude imports.
China is enraged. Foreign Ministry spokespeople Mao Ning and Lin Jian demanded Venezuela retain “full and permanent sovereignty” over its natural resources and accused the US of “seriously breaching” international law. China’s “legitimate rights and interests in Venezuela must be protected,” according to state media. China’s United Nations representative reiterated this statement, demanding that the US “cease its bullying and coercive practices.”
Russia stepped in to protect China’s short-term investments using a military submarine to protect an oil carrier from US forces. However, US forces successfully boarded and seized the cargo ship. There was no direct conflict between Russia and the US, but “direct” is key as Russia is showing its willingness to oppose Western influence.
Canada’s Carney chimed in to offer clean Canadian oil as an alternative. No one cares if the oil is clean; everyone wants the best deal.
Rest assured China will ensure it is repaid. Yet, the Trump Administration may not permit repayment in crude. The situation is unfolding and tensions are rapidly rising. The international community is split on America’s actions, with even America’s European allies condemning the move. Europe is now painting Trump with the same brush as Putin by insisting he will continue nation-building and expanding the great American Empire. The models pointed to geopolitical upheaval during the first week of January as we move toward the pinnacle of the panic cycle set to explode in 2026.

US To Withdraw From 66 International Bodies, Treaties
by ZeroHedge January 8th, 2026 2:39 PM
The Trump administration withdrew the United States from 66 international organizations, conventions, and treaties that it said go against the country’s interests, the White House announced on Jan. 7.
According to the presidential memorandum, 31 entities were tied to the United Nations, while 35 others were not.
“The Trump Administration has found these institutions to be redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation’s sovereignty, freedoms, and general prosperity,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote in a statement shortly after the list was revealed.
“President [Donald] Trump is clear: It is no longer acceptable to be sending these institutions the blood, sweat, and treasure of the American people, with little to nothing to show for it. The days of billions of dollars in taxpayer money flowing to foreign interests at the expense of our people are over.”
As Jacki Thrapp reports for The Epoch Times,The State Department was ordered to review the international intergovernmental organizations that “no longer serve American interests” in February 2025, per an executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
Rubio accused many entities of being “often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests.”
“From DEI mandates to ‘gender equity’ campaigns to climate orthodoxy, many international organizations now serve a globalist project rooted in the discredited fantasy of the ‘End of History.’
“These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty. Their work is advanced by the same elite networks—the multilateral ‘NGO-plex’—that we have begun dismantling through the closure of [the United States Agency for International Development].”
The U.N.-related entities that the Trump administration withdrew from include the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, International Law Commission, International Trade Centre, Peacebuilding Commission, Peacebuilding Fund, U.N. Democracy Fund, U.N. Energy, U.N. Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, and U.N. University.
The non-U.N. organizations included the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact and the Commission for Environmental Cooperation.
The memorandum cited over two dozen “hybrid threats,” such as the Forum of European National Highway Research Laboratories and the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund.
Wednesday’s memorandum came less than a year after Trump withdrew the United States from the UN Human Rights Council.
On Feb. 4, 2025, the same day the White House assigned Rubio to investigate the international organizations, Trump signed an executive order exiting from the U.N. Human Rights Council. At the time, Trump said it “has not fulfilled its purpose and continues to be used as a protective body for countries committing horrific human rights violations.”
The White House expanded on those issues, such as allowing China and Iran to be in the council despite their violations, and alleged there was bias against Israel.

Dutch Navy Suspends Joint Anti-Drug Operations with US in Caribbean
Tuesday, 6 January 2026, 16:25
As reported by the NOS publication
The Royal Netherlands Navy is temporarily suspending joint actions with the United States in the fight against drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea. The decision was announced by the Dutch Ministry of Defence, citing different approaches to stopping suspected vessels in international waters off Venezuela.
According to the ministry, the U.S. policy of attacking vessels departing from Venezuelan ports leads to the deaths of people without due process. Because of these actions, the Netherlands has decided to suspend previously agreed cooperative operations. Previously, the Dutch Navy closely coordinated actions with the U.S. Coast Guard in the fight against drug smuggling in the region, where the main routes pass through the islands of Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
As part of the joint operation, Dutch sailors often boarded suspicious vessels in international waters, relying on U.S. intelligence data. According to the Ministry of Defence, over the past five years tens of thousands of kilograms of cocaine have been intercepted in the Caribbean, and those detained were usually handed over to the American side for prosecution in courts.
Regarding the escalation between the United States and Venezuela: at the beginning of autumn, the U.S. military attacked a vessel off the coast of Venezuela, and reports from Washington spoke of the deaths of several militants. There was also another attack, along with other attacks on Venezuelan vessels in international waters, after which Venezuela began military exercises in the region amid rising tensions. The government of Venezuela asked the United Nations Security Council to convene an urgent meeting on the actions of the United States in waters near the country’s southern coast. At the same time, the United States imposed a series of sanctions, including against Venezuelan oil tankers and related companies. Following further statements from Washington, the region continued to monitor developments, and tensions between the countries remained high.
Impact on the region and prospects for cooperation
With the Netherlands’ announcement of a temporary halt to joint operations, the security situation in the Caribbean takes on a new context. The region continues to monitor developments between the United States and Venezuela and assesses the potential consequences of a change in cooperation among allies.
In summary, the Dutch Ministry of Defence noted that the temporary suspension does not mean abandoning the overall fight against drug trafficking, but requires a review of tactics and ways to coordinate with partners.

Rabbi Kessin: Trump assisting Messiah by arresting Maduro, eliminating evil
Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
Biblical News
January 5, 2026 5 min read
Rabbi Mendel Kessin is an internationally renowned lecturer and educator who has delivered numerous lectures worldwide. He began teaching about the end-of-days implications of current events and politics more than a decade ago. Rabbi Kessin recently released a lecture framing the recent arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife by the Trump administration as part of the process of redemption.
Rabbi Kessin did not present his lecture as commentary on politics. He presented it as an explanation of function. Speaking with characteristic bluntness, Rabbi Kessin argued that current geopolitical events—Venezuela, Iran, the strengthening of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, and the broader reordering of global power—are not random developments or policy choices. They are stages in a Biblically defined process of redemption. In that process, President Trump plays a specific role, even if he does not understand it himself.
“I was describing Trump—what his job is, which he himself does not know,” Rabbi Kessin said at the outset of the lecture. “I want to bring everybody up to date.”
Rabbi Kessin framed Trump’s actions in the Western Hemisphere as deliberate steps toward restoring order, not as ideological crusades. “Why did he take over Venezuela?” he asked. “He seems to be adopting a certain position, and that position is to clean up the hemisphere.” What stood out to Rabbi Kessin was not only the action itself, but Trump’s indifference to elite opinion. “What’s interesting is that he’s doing it and he doesn’t care what people say.”
To Rabbi Kessin, this posture reflects something more profound than strategy. “What is important to understand is what has come over him,” he said. He connected Trump’s actions to a revival of the Monroe Doctrine, explaining, “He’s trying to reinforce what’s called the Monroe Doctrine, which James Monroe laid out—that foreign powers cannot simply enter the hemisphere and do whatever they want.”
But Rabbi Kessin made clear that this was only the surface layer. “What Trump’s job really is,” he said, “is to assist the Mashiach. That is a critical job.”
At the center of Rabbi Kessin’s teaching was the distinction between the two messianic roles described in Jewish tradition. “The main idea of Mashiach ben Yosef is to remove evil—to transform the world,” he explained. Redemption, he said, does not begin with holiness or spirituality. It begins with removal. “There are different levels of the transformation. The first level is to remove evil. Get rid of it.”
Rabbi Kessin then laid out a moral hierarchy that he described as foundational to understanding current events. “After you remove evil, you remove what’s called bad,” he said. “Bad is not evil in an intensified way, but it is destructive. It borders on destruction.” He gave a concrete example. “I would imagine that’s something like the fraud that took place in Minneapolis—$18 billion. It’s not the evil of selling drugs, which kills people directly, but it harms people from afar. The scale of the scandal is astounding.”
Only after evil and destructive corruption are removed, Rabbi Kessin said, can a society move upward. “After bad, the next level is that good reigns. People think more in terms of good than just getting along.” Above that is tzedek, righteousness. “Righteousness is much greater than good because it has an element of holiness to it. It’s much more in line with Judaism.”
Rabbi Kessin anchored this in Scripture, quoting directly from the Bible. “What does God want? God wants righteousness,” he said, citing the verse, “Tzedek, tzedek tirdof—Righteousness, righteousness you shall pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20). He emphasized that righteousness is not ethical minimalism. It is in alignment with Divine will.
Beyond righteousness lies kedushah. “Holiness means to think in terms of a different universe—a spiritual universe—where your behavior is in accordance with a higher dimension,” he said. Above even holiness, Rabbi Kessin taught, is the ultimate level: the Divine itself.
Within this structure, Trump’s role is sharply defined and limited. “Trump is an assistant to the Messianic King,” Rabbi Kessin said. “His role is to transform the world from the side of evil, corruption, and decay, and to help Mashiach ben Yosef change the world into a place of goodness.” He repeated that Trump is unaware of this role. “He doesn’t know that,” Rabbi Kessin said, “but he’s doing it.”
This framework shaped Rabbi Kessin’s interpretation of Trump’s actions in Latin America. “That’s why he’s invading Venezuela,” he said flatly. “He will invade Cuba next. In many ways, he’s cleaning up the Western Hemisphere. That is exactly what cleaning up evil looks like.”
Rabbi Kessin showed little patience for moral outrage over these actions. “Do not accuse Trump of doing something illegal,” he warned. “He is ridding the world of evil.” He challenged critics directly. “Would you rather have evil continue and kill people?” He framed the question in human terms. “If the one who died was your child, would you then be so merciful to these dictators?”
He pointed specifically to Venezuela’s dictator. “How many parents have buried their kids because of Maduro?” he asked. “Where is your mercy for the evil that Maduro has done?” To Rabbi Kessin, condemning action against tyrants is not compassion but moral blindness. “Those who criticize Trump for attacking and taking over Venezuela,” he said, “have no idea that this stamps them as being unmerciful and as supporting evil.”
Rabbi Kessin extended this analysis to Israel, arguing that Trump’s role includes strengthening Israeli sovereignty. He said Trump would enable Israel “to have Judea and Samaria,” calling this “a key to the descent of the Beit HaMikdash.”
He rejected the notion that the Third Temple is a political or architectural project. “The Third Temple is not something we build from scratch,” he said. “There is a corresponding Temple in Heaven that contains the Divine Presence at an incredible level of intensity.” That Temple, he explained, descends. “It’s not new. It’s new for us, but it already exists above.”
For that descent to occur, Rabbi Kessin stressed, the world must be purified. “In order for this to happen, the world has to be cleaned up. That is Trump’s job, which he’s doing.” He said Trump would also play a role in stabilizing the Middle East. “You’re going to have Arab nations, the Abraham Accords—but first, the main project is Iran.”
Rabbi Kessin described Iran as a spiritual as well as geopolitical enemy. “The fall of Iran is a major destruction of the kelipah—the husk of evil,” he said. He tied Iran’s decline to the Jewish calendar, noting that events began on the 10th of Tevet, the day the decree to destroy the Temple was issued. “Now we’re seeing the reverse,” he said. “The beginning of the fall of Iran happened on Asarah b’Tevet. That’s amazing.”
He traced the progression through the months of redemption. “After Tevet comes Shevat. After Shevat comes Adar. Adar is the month of Mashiach. That’s when Purim eradicated the evil of Haman. After Adar comes Nisan, the month of redemption.”
Rabbi Kessin concluded with a warning and a declaration. “Do not fret that Trump is the agent,” he said. “That’s his role.” Quoting the Sages, he added, “The elder will serve the younger. That is prophecy unfolding.”
In Rabbi Kessin’s view, history is no longer concealed. Evil is being removed openly, forcefully, and without apology. Those who oppose that process, he warned, will be judged accordingly. “In the end,” he said, “you’re accusing someone of removing evil—which is a tremendous mitzvah.”
Trump, knowingly or not, is clearing the ground. The next stage, Rabbi Kessin made clear, belongs to Mashiach ben David, who will establish a kingdom of righteousness and holiness. The cleanup comes first. The redemption follows.

Radical Leftists Claim Responsibility for Arson Attack That Left Tens of Thousands Without Power in Berlin
By Kurt Zindulka 5 Jan 2026
Far-left climate extremists have claimed responsibility for an arson attack on electrical infrastructure over the weekend that left tens of thousands of people in Berlin without power.
Early Saturday morning, a fire was started with incendiary devices at an electrical cable bridge over Berlin’s Teltow Canal, leading to the Lichterfelde power plant. The fire damaged vital power lines and left approximately 45,000 private residences and 2,200 businesses without power, German broadcaster NTV reported.
The Stromnetz Berlin grid operator said Sunday evening that it has since restored power to 7,000 households and 150 businesses. However, due to the complex nature of the lines affected, it may be some time before power is fully restored, raising concerns that some residents may need to seek other shelter, particularly when temperatures drop in the evening.
Meanwhile, the Mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegener, has called on the German Armed Forces to be deployed for their “expertise” in helping restore power as quickly as possible. Others, including Berlin Senator Iris Spranger, have suggested that the military be used to hand out hot meals during the outage.
On Sunday, Spranger revealed to the German Press Agency that the far-left anarchist Vulkangruppe (Volcano Group) claimed responsibility for the attack. “This is a despicable attack on the people of Berlin that willfully endangers human lives,” the Social Democrat politician said, according to Die Welt.
In the letter admitting responsibility, reported by Berlin’s Tagesspiegel newspaper, the leftist ludites cited the supposed climate crisis as their motivation, saying: “Last night we successfully sabotaged the gas-fired power plant in Berlin-Lichterfelde… The attack on the gas-fired power plant is an act of self-defence and international solidarity with all those who protect the Earth and life.”
“There were power outages in the wealthier districts of Wannsee, Zehlendorf, and Nikolassee,” the Vulkangruppe continued. “Power outages were not the goal of the action, but rather the fossil fuel industry. We apologise to the less affluent people in southwest Berlin. Our sympathy for the many villa owners in these districts is limited.”
The leftists also cited the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and its high energy requirements as a motivation for their attack on Berlin infrastructure, writing: “We are operating our own surveillance, and it is total… The tech companies are in the hands of the men of power that we give them… One day, we will simply die of thirst and hunger sitting in front of glowing screens or inert devices.”
The Vulkangruppe, believed to have been founded in 2011, has previously claimed responsibility for attacks on the Tesla gigafactory in the Berlin suburb of Grünheide, sabotaging a high-voltage power pylon that supplied energy to the Elon Musk-owned factory.
It comes amid a broader trend of far-left climate-inspired anarchist attacks on critical infrastructure across Europe in recent years, often targeting power and data cables, factories, and railways.
The latest attack has been compared to a similar sabotage in September, which left upwards of 50,000 people without power for several days. It remains unclear, however, if the arson attack on two power pylons in southeast Berlin was the work of the Vulkangruppe or another radical group.
Commenting on the latest attack, Berlin Mayor Wegner said: “We will place a high priority on the pressure on the perpetrators. We want to catch them.”
“It was a left-wing extremist group that once again attacked our infrastructure and thereby threatened the lives of people, of elderly people who may need ventilators, of families with small children… And we have to catch these perpetrators now… this is no joke, this is a terrorist attack.”

North Korea test-fires hypersonic missiles
Jan 4, 2026
The dawn of the new year in East Asia broke not with calm, but with thunder. On January 4, 2026, North Korea surged back into global focus after test-firing hypersonic missiles in a forceful display of military ambition and strategic defiance, according to reporting by Reuters based on state media KCNA.
The launches were personally overseen by leader Kim Jong Un and were framed by the regime as an urgent exercise to reinforce what it called its war-deterrence capabilities.
In the words carried by state media, Kim said the missile tests were necessary amid “the recent geopolitical crisis and various international circumstances.”
This was not portrayed as a routine weapons drill, but as a calculated response to what Pyongyang views as an increasingly hostile world. The missiles reportedly struck targets roughly 1,000 kilometers away in waters east of the Korean Peninsula, underscoring North Korea’s determination to project power far beyond its borders.
The timing of the launches was striking. The tests occurred on the same day South Korean President Lee Jae Myung arrived in China for a state visit, highlighting the fragile diplomatic balancing act unfolding in the region.
At the same time, Pyongyang had just issued sharp condemnation of U.S. military actions in Venezuela, denouncing them as a “serious encroachment on sovereignty.” Within that narrative, North Korea framed its own missile activity not as provocation, but as justified preparation in response to what it sees as Western aggression.
Military analysts cited in the report noted that the missiles tested appear to align with hypersonic systems displayed during North Korea’s October 2025 military parade.
These weapons are designed to travel at extreme speeds while maneuvering unpredictably, making them far more difficult to detect and intercept than traditional ballistic missiles.
One expert observed that such systems are intended to enable “surprise launches,” a capability that could severely complicate missile-defense planning for the United States and its allies.
While questions remain about how advanced and reliable North Korea’s hypersonic technology truly is, the political message was unmistakable.
KCNA described the tests as “a very important strategy to maintain or expand the strong and reliable nuclear deterrent of the country.” In Pyongyang’s worldview, speed, surprise, and spectacle are inseparable from survival.

Iran plotting to assassinate Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa, IDF sources warn
The warning was issued recently against the backdrop of the opening of contacts between Israel and Syria.
ByAMIR BOHBOT
JANUARY 5, 2026 17:01 Updated: JANUARY 5, 2026 22:44
Iran is working together with additional hostile elements to assassinate Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, IDF sources warn.
The warning was issued recently against the backdrop of the opening of contacts between Israel and Syria. It also comes amid rising regional tensions and is based on security intelligence indicating that Sharaa faces real threats and has been forced to invest significant efforts in protecting himself and stabilizing his regime.
It also comes as the defense establishment emphasizes that the lessons of October 7 require insistence on an IDF presence on Syrian territory. According to the security establishment’s position, this presence is defined as a “primary shield” for communities along the Israeli-Syrian border.
Walla has learned that in recent months, several discussions have taken place under the leadership of Defense Minister Israel Katz with the participation of senior defense establishment officials. At the end of the discussions, it was decided that the establishment’s position is that there should be no withdrawal from Syrian territory and the Mount Hermon region.
A senior IDF security source said that the army's senior officials endorsed the defense minister's position on the matter.
The IDF's three operational zones in Syria
According to IDF sources, government policy divides Israeli activity in Syria into three main areas. The first is the security zone on the line of contact, where IDF troops operate in the area of the international Israeli-Syrian border, with the aim of directly protecting the nearby communities, as well as deeper into the State of Israel.
The second area is the security zone, which includes Syrian territory within approximately 15 km of the Israeli border. This area contains villages, towns, and traffic routes, and the IDF is working to prevent the entry and establishment of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure.
The third area is the area of influence, which extends from southern Sweida to the outskirts of Damascus. This area is defined as a demilitarized zone where Israel monitors what is happening, with the aim of preventing the entry of hostile elements, the introduction of advanced weapons systems, or the establishment of military bases.

US dollar posts worst year since 2017 as Fed turmoil, tariffs bite hammered currency
By Ariel Zilber
Published Jan. 1, 2026, 11:25 a.m. ET
The US dollar ended the year with its worst performance since 2017 as Federal Reserve turmoil, trade shocks and economic uncertainty hammered the greenback.
The dollar finished the year down about 8% compared to a basket of foreign currencies, according to the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index.
That was sharpest annual retreat for US currency in eight years.
The US dollar was hit hard in 2025 due to tariffs and turmoil at the Federal Reserve.
Some measures show losses closer to 9% to 10% after a historic first-half slide that erased a decade’s worth of gains from the dollar’s long bull run.
The dollar selloff accelerated after President Trump’s April “Liberation Day” tariffs rattled global markets and raised fears of lasting damage to US growth.
The currency never fully recovered as its decline coincided with stubbornly high inflation that limited the Fed’s flexibility — even as growth slowed.
Core inflation hovered near 3%, while tariffs added fresh price pressure and pushed consumer inflation expectations sharply higher through the summer.
Foreign investors also began pulling back.
China cut its holdings of US Treasuries to the lowest level since 2008, while global asset managers increased hedges against dollar weakness — a move that effectively reduced demand for the currency.
Investors now warn the pain may not be over, with the Fed expected to cut rates further in 2026 and Trump openly pushing for a more dovish central bank chief.
“The biggest factor for the dollar in first quarter will be the Fed,” Yusuke Miyairi, a foreign-exchange strategist at Nomura, told Bloomberg News.
“And it’s not just the meetings in January and March, but who will be the Fed Chair after Jerome Powell ends his term.”
Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council in the White House, is considered the frontrunner to succeed Powell in May.
While he’s widely viewed as being in accord with the president’s economic worldview, he has insisted Trump would “have no weight” in the Federal Reserve’s decisions if he becomes chair.
At least two US rate cuts are already priced in for next year, undercutting the dollar’s yield advantage just as Treasury yields slid from above 4.5% early in the year to near 4.1% by December.
The damage was most dramatic in the first half of 2025, when the dollar suffered its steepest six-month decline in more than half a century. A brief July bounce faded quickly as worries about growth, politics and trade returned.
Trump’s April 2 tariff blitz proved a turning point.
The president invoked emergency powers to impose a 10% baseline tariff on nearly all imports, with higher “reciprocal” duties aimed at countries running trade surpluses with the US.
Global markets plunged. The S&P 500 sank more than 13% in less than a week, while the dollar tumbled as investors rushed for safety.
Although the White House paused the harshest tariffs days later, the baseline levy stayed in place — and so did the uncertainty. Economists warned the policy would raise prices, hit demand and invite retaliation.
Those fears lingered throughout the year, weighing on the currency even as stocks recovered.
By late summer, the focus shifted squarely to the Federal Reserve.
After holding rates steady for months, policymakers began cutting as signs of labor-market weakness mounted.
The Fed delivered a quarter-point cut in September and another in December, responding to rising unemployment and slowing payroll growth — a sharp reversal from the aggressive tightening that propped up the dollar in prior years.
Traders quickly positioned for more. Futures markets now anticipate additional cuts in 2026, with expectations ranging from one to four reductions.
The Post has sought comment from the White House and the Fed.

Iran Protests Spread to 21 Provinces Amid Reports of IRGC Chemical, Biological Weapons Production
Julie Stahl 01-02-2026
JERUSALEM, Israel – Iranian protests over the flailing economy are spreading even as Iran is reportedly developing chemical and biological missile warheads.
Violent protests throughout Iran forced a government shutdown in 21 provinces as unrest spread over skyrocketing prices and economic collapse.
Businesses, universities, and government offices closed in response to the regime's shutdown.
The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) showed footage online of violent confrontations between security forces and protesters. in various provinces. Shouts of "Death to the dictator" and "Death to Khamenei" rang out, as at least seven people were killed.
The protests are the largest in Iran since 2022, when 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody, detained over not wearing her hijab correctly.
Israeli-Iranian actress and commentator Sarah Fakheri says these protests are different from those in the past.
She said, "If the past protests were just 'Death to the dictator' or 'Get this regime down' without any definition of who is going to rule Iran after this one has a leader – [this time] they call for [Crown Prince Reza] Pahlavi back."
Fakheri added that Iran has gone from being an "amazing country" with abilities and natural resources to a state where people don't have money for bread. She contends that Iranians have been crying out for help for a long time.
She noted, "I've been receiving messages all the time from Iranians who are asking [for] Israel's support to eliminate this regime. Do I think that it should be someone else's job? No. Do I think that we can support and be the voice of support to those people? Yes."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian blamed the current economic crisis on an ongoing war with Iran's enemies.
"We are engaged in a full-scale war," he said. "Right now, the enemy has placed most of its hopes on knocking us down through economic pressure. You cannot conquer a nation with bombs, fighter jets, or missiles. To defeat us, they would have to come and face us on the ground."
The protests come amid reports that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is developing chemical and biological warheads for its ballistic missiles.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the possibility of a second strike on Iran this year in a meeting with President Trump in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Trump's response was positive.
"I hope they're not trying to build up again because if they are, we're going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup," Trump declared.
Netanyahu returned to Israel on Friday after spending several days in Florida, including as a guest at the president's and his wife, Melania's, New Year's Eve celebration.

Trump says US ‘not afraid of boots on the ground’ in Venezuela after Nicolás Maduro capture
By Geoff Earle
Published Jan. 3, 2026 Updated Jan. 3, 2026, 1:40 p.m. ET
President Trump told the nation the US would now take over running Venezuela, after strongman Nicolas Maduro was captured “in the dead of night.”
“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said at a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort as he provided new details on the stunning military operation.
“We’re going to run it, essentially” through the transition, he said.
The logistics of a US-run Venezuela were still being worked out, but Trump said it might involve military “boots on the ground.”
“We’re not afraid of boots on the ground if we have to,” the president said. “We had boots on the ground last night, at a very high level, actually.”
Later, Trump added, “We’re going to have [a] presence in Venezuela as it pertains to oil.”
In a strong assertion of US national prerogative in the hemisphere, Trump said he had one-upped the Monroe Doctrine of the nation’s early history.
“They now call it the Don-roe doctrine,” Trump quipped, while flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
He brushed off questions about the US’s record of running countries in Latin America over the last century and even whether it was consistent with his “America First” mantra.
“We’re going to run the country right, it’s going to be run very judiciously, very fairly,” Trump said.
The president indicated the military had been “prepared to do a second wave” if needed.
He said his advisors assumed such a wave would be necessary — only one was needed.
He also described an effort to bring back US oil companies who had their infrastructure confiscated by the regime, and use the stolen funds to help compensate Venezuelans who fled to the US.
“We’re going to reimburse people that were taken advantage of,” Trump said.
“We have to rebuild their whole infrastructure.”
Trump also indicated Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wasn’t up to the task of governing.
“I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the support within or the respect within the country,” he opined. “She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect in Venezuela.”
Rubio, meanwhile, had spoken to Maduro’s VP, Delcy Rodriguez, Trump said.
“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” said Trump.
“We’re designating people. We’re talking to people. We’re designating various people. We’ll let you know who those people are.”
Trump also addressed Venezuela’s substantial oil resources, saying its oil production has been a “total bust for a long period of time.”
“They were pumping almost nothing,” Trump said.
He said what the US would accomplish “will make the people of Venezuela rich, independent and safe” – after millions fled under years of dictatorship.
Trump said Maduro oversaw a “vicious cartel” and was responsible for the deaths of “countless Americans” and called him an “illegitimate dictator.”
He called Maduro the “kingpin of a vast criminal network,” and indicated prosecutors would decide if Maduro would be tried in New York or in Miami, which is where Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega was tried decades ago.
The president called the operation that took down Maduro “one of the most stunning effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.”
“Not a single American service member was killed” and no US equipment was lost in the operation, Trump said, describing the mission.
“It was dark. The lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have. It was dark. And it was deadly” he said.
Trump addressed the nation hours after US special forces snatched the Venezuelan dictator and his wife Cilia Flores. The couple is currently headed to New York City.
Attorney General Pam Bondi posted that the pair had been indicted in the Southern District of New York, referencing a 2020 indictment on drug conspiracy and other charges.
“They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts,” she said on X. The attack came overnight, with at least seven blasts heard over Caracas. Targets included military bases and airports.
Trump in an earlier interview with Fox & Friends said Maduro was en route to New York aboard the USS Iwo Jima, an amphibious assault ship.
“They’ll be heading to New York – you know they were indicted in New York,” Trump said. “The helicopters took them out … They killed a lot of people, remember,” Trump said.
The political future of Venezuela remains murky. Strongman Hugo Chavez took power in 1999 and was succeeded by Maduro.
Trump said his team was “making the decision” for who would govern Venezuela now that Maduro is en route to New York to face charges.
“We’ll be involved in it very much. And we want to do liberty for the people. We want to have a great relationship,” he added.

Cleveland Clinic Flu Shots Study Shows Vaccine INCREASED Risk of Getting the Flu
by Jim Hᴏft Dec. 27, 2025 10:30 am
For decades, Americans have been lectured, pressured, and in many cases coerced into getting annual flu shots under the promise that “the science is settled” and that vaccination is an unquestionable public good.
But a growing body of research is blowing that narrative apart, and the latest data are nothing short of explosive.
A new study from the prestigious Cleveland Clinic has found that the 2024-2025 flu shot not only failed to protect people but also increased their risk of contracting the flu.
The study, published as a preprint on medRxiv and led by Dr. Nabin K. Shrestha and colleagues from the Departments of Infectious Diseases, Infection Prevention, and Quantitative Health Sciences, tracked 53,402 Cleveland Clinic employees across Ohio during the 2024–2025 respiratory viral season, which began on October 1, 2024.
By the end of the 25-week observation period (ending March 26, 2025), 82.1% of the cohort (43,857 individuals) had been vaccinated, primarily with the trivalent inactivated vaccine.
A total of 1,079 employees (2.02%) tested positive for influenza, with 98.8% being influenza A cases.
Using a time-dependent analysis (treating vaccination as a variable that changes over time), the researchers calculated a vaccine effectiveness of -26.9% (95% CI: -51.0% to -6.6%). This means vaccinated individuals had a 27% higher hazard ratio (HR 1.27) for contracting influenza compared to unvaccinated ones, after adjusting for factors like age, sex, job type (e.g., clinical nursing), and work location.
The study addressed potential biases by examining testing rates. Vaccinated employees were more likely to get tested, but the proportion of positive tests was similar between groups, suggesting the higher infection rate wasn’t due to testing differences but actual increased susceptibility.
A Simon-Makuch plot showed that early in the season, infection rates were similar, but they rose more rapidly among the vaccinated over time.

The study population was relatively young (mean age 42) and healthy, with 75% female and about 20% in clinical nursing roles.
The authors concluded: “Among 53402 working-aged Cleveland Clinic employees, we were unable to find a protective influence of influenza vaccination during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season and found a significantly higher risk of influenza with vaccination when influenza activity was high.“

Chilling omen of house price crash as America's No 2 homebuilder forced to slash prices by 10%
READ MORE: Another bourbon distiller files for bankruptcy as sector collapses
By MARTHA WILLIAMS, US REAL ESTATE & CONSUMER REPORTER
Published: 00:22 EST, 31 December 2025 | Updated: 05:53 EST, 31 December 2025
America’s housing market is flashing a fresh warning sign that prices are falling — and it’s coming from one of its biggest players.
Lennar, the second-largest US homebuilder, was forced to slash the cost of its houses by 10 percent in the final three months of 2025 as buyers disappeared.
It is a chilling signal of what may be coming next — not just for other new-builds, but for the roughly 130 million existing houses, apartments and condos across America.
Big builders like Lennar act as a canary in the coal mine for the wider housing market because they have no escape hatch.
Unlike most ordinary homeowners, who can pull a listing and wait if they don’t get their price, builders are stuck with new-builds that generate costs every day they sit unsold.
When buyers disappear, cutting prices becomes the only option. The typical Lennar home cost $386,000 in late-2025, compared to $430,000 during the same period in 2024.
The average existing home in the US is worth $360,000. If it's value dropped by the same percentage, the typical American homeowner would see their biggest asset drop by in value by $36,000.
Lennar’s price cuts, revealed in its latest quarterly earnings, show how quickly pressure is building across the housing market.
Despite selling more homes, the company’s revenue from home sales fell seven percent year-on-year to $8.9 billion in the final quarter, as lower prices more than offset higher volumes.
Lennar’s average selling price is now down 21 percent from its pandemic-era peak.
Stuart Miller, Lennar’s chairman and co-CEO, said it had also been forced to offer incentives, which typically mean things like free carpets or money towards deposits, on top of price cuts.
He said that because the market is still unpredictable, the company cannot be sure what will happen in 2026 but hopes to sell around 85,000 homes.
The stress is not confined to one builder.
For as far back as records go, new homes have almost always cost more to buy than existing properties.
This isn't surprising — new-builds have all the latest features and appliances, and they come without the wear and tear of previously-owned properties.
However, over the summer that trend turned completely upside down.
In June, the median sales price of a new home was $407,200 — around $28,000 cheaper than that of existing homes, and a 6.5 percent discount, according to Realtor.com.
Experts have chalked up the reversal to classic supply and demand.
Construction companies became giddy during the pandemic — when demand for housing was through the roof, especially in sunny Southern boomtowns — and built slews of homes to satisfy buyers' needs.
However, as the Covid boom slowed, it became clear that builders had added far more homes than there were people to buy them.
Building companies were forced to cut costs, which left brand new homes to be sold at far cheaper prices than older homes, foreshadowing a potential market crash.
De-listings also surged this year, indicating that if homeowners cannot sell their house for the price they desire, they are willing to take the property off the market and wait for a better time to sell.

I have tried to prepare you that you would be totally ready, that you wouldn’t have to run real fast to make up time, but that you would be walking right by my side. etc..

US dollar posts worst year since 2017 as Fed turmoil, tariffs bite hammered currency
By Ariel Zilber
Published Jan. 1, 2026, 11:25 a.m. ET
The US dollar ended the year with its worst performance since 2017 as Federal Reserve turmoil, trade shocks and economic uncertainty hammered the greenback.
The dollar finished the year down about 8% compared to a basket of foreign currencies, according to the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index.
That was sharpest annual retreat for US currency in eight years.
The US dollar was hit hard in 2025 due to tariffs and turmoil at the Federal Reserve.
Some measures show losses closer to 9% to 10% after a historic first-half slide that erased a decade’s worth of gains from the dollar’s long bull run.
The dollar selloff accelerated after President Trump’s April “Liberation Day” tariffs rattled global markets and raised fears of lasting damage to US growth.
The currency never fully recovered as its decline coincided with stubbornly high inflation that limited the Fed’s flexibility — even as growth slowed.
Core inflation hovered near 3%, while tariffs added fresh price pressure and pushed consumer inflation expectations sharply higher through the summer.
Foreign investors also began pulling back.
China cut its holdings of US Treasuries to the lowest level since 2008, while global asset managers increased hedges against dollar weakness — a move that effectively reduced demand for the currency.
Investors now warn the pain may not be over, with the Fed expected to cut rates further in 2026 and Trump openly pushing for a more dovish central bank chief.
“The biggest factor for the dollar in first quarter will be the Fed,” Yusuke Miyairi, a foreign-exchange strategist at Nomura, told Bloomberg News.
“And it’s not just the meetings in January and March, but who will be the Fed Chair after Jerome Powell ends his term.”
Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council in the White House, is considered the frontrunner to succeed Powell in May.
While he’s widely viewed as being in accord with the president’s economic worldview, he has insisted Trump would “have no weight” in the Federal Reserve’s decisions if he becomes chair.
At least two US rate cuts are already priced in for next year, undercutting the dollar’s yield advantage just as Treasury yields slid from above 4.5% early in the year to near 4.1% by December.
The damage was most dramatic in the first half of 2025, when the dollar suffered its steepest six-month decline in more than half a century. A brief July bounce faded quickly as worries about growth, politics and trade returned.
Trump’s April 2 tariff blitz proved a turning point.
The president invoked emergency powers to impose a 10% baseline tariff on nearly all imports, with higher “reciprocal” duties aimed at countries running trade surpluses with the US.
Global markets plunged. The S&P 500 sank more than 13% in less than a week, while the dollar tumbled as investors rushed for safety.
Although the White House paused the harshest tariffs days later, the baseline levy stayed in place — and so did the uncertainty. Economists warned the policy would raise prices, hit demand and invite retaliation.
Those fears lingered throughout the year, weighing on the currency even as stocks recovered.
By late summer, the focus shifted squarely to the Federal Reserve.
After holding rates steady for months, policymakers began cutting as signs of labor-market weakness mounted.
The Fed delivered a quarter-point cut in September and another in December, responding to rising unemployment and slowing payroll growth — a sharp reversal from the aggressive tightening that propped up the dollar in prior years.
Traders quickly positioned for more. Futures markets now anticipate additional cuts in 2026, with expectations ranging from one to four reductions.
The Post has sought comment from the White House and the Fed.

Iran Protests Spread to 21 Provinces Amid Reports of IRGC Chemical, Biological Weapons Production
Julie Stahl 01-02-2026
JERUSALEM, Israel – Iranian protests over the flailing economy are spreading even as Iran is reportedly developing chemical and biological missile warheads.
Violent protests throughout Iran forced a government shutdown in 21 provinces as unrest spread over skyrocketing prices and economic collapse.
Businesses, universities, and government offices closed in response to the regime's shutdown.
The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) showed footage online of violent confrontations between security forces and protesters. in various provinces. Shouts of "Death to the dictator" and "Death to Khamenei" rang out, as at least seven people were killed.
The protests are the largest in Iran since 2022, when 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody, detained over not wearing her hijab correctly.
Israeli-Iranian actress and commentator Sarah Fakheri says these protests are different from those in the past.
She said, "If the past protests were just 'Death to the dictator' or 'Get this regime down' without any definition of who is going to rule Iran after this one has a leader – [this time] they call for [Crown Prince Reza] Pahlavi back."
Fakheri added that Iran has gone from being an "amazing country" with abilities and natural resources to a state where people don't have money for bread. She contends that Iranians have been crying out for help for a long time.
She noted, "I've been receiving messages all the time from Iranians who are asking [for] Israel's support to eliminate this regime. Do I think that it should be someone else's job? No. Do I think that we can support and be the voice of support to those people? Yes."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian blamed the current economic crisis on an ongoing war with Iran's enemies.
"We are engaged in a full-scale war," he said. "Right now, the enemy has placed most of its hopes on knocking us down through economic pressure. You cannot conquer a nation with bombs, fighter jets, or missiles. To defeat us, they would have to come and face us on the ground."
The protests come amid reports that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is developing chemical and biological warheads for its ballistic missiles.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the possibility of a second strike on Iran this year in a meeting with President Trump in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Trump's response was positive.
"I hope they're not trying to build up again because if they are, we're going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup," Trump declared.
Netanyahu returned to Israel on Friday after spending several days in Florida, including as a guest at the president's and his wife, Melania's, New Year's Eve celebration.

Trump says US ‘not afraid of boots on the ground’ in Venezuela after Nicolás Maduro capture
By Geoff Earle
Published Jan. 3, 2026 Updated Jan. 3, 2026, 1:40 p.m. ET
President Trump told the nation the US would now take over running Venezuela, after strongman Nicolas Maduro was captured “in the dead of night.”
“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said at a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort as he provided new details on the stunning military operation.
“We’re going to run it, essentially” through the transition, he said.
The logistics of a US-run Venezuela were still being worked out, but Trump said it might involve military “boots on the ground.”
“We’re not afraid of boots on the ground if we have to,” the president said. “We had boots on the ground last night, at a very high level, actually.”
Later, Trump added, “We’re going to have [a] presence in Venezuela as it pertains to oil.”
In a strong assertion of US national prerogative in the hemisphere, Trump said he had one-upped the Monroe Doctrine of the nation’s early history.
“They now call it the Don-roe doctrine,” Trump quipped, while flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
He brushed off questions about the US’s record of running countries in Latin America over the last century and even whether it was consistent with his “America First” mantra.
“We’re going to run the country right, it’s going to be run very judiciously, very fairly,” Trump said.
The president indicated the military had been “prepared to do a second wave” if needed.
He said his advisors assumed such a wave would be necessary — only one was needed.
He also described an effort to bring back US oil companies who had their infrastructure confiscated by the regime, and use the stolen funds to help compensate Venezuelans who fled to the US.
“We’re going to reimburse people that were taken advantage of,” Trump said.
“We have to rebuild their whole infrastructure.”
Trump also indicated Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wasn’t up to the task of governing.
“I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the support within or the respect within the country,” he opined. “She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect in Venezuela.”
Rubio, meanwhile, had spoken to Maduro’s VP, Delcy Rodriguez, Trump said.
“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” said Trump.

Cleveland Clinic Flu Shots Study Shows Vaccine INCREASED Risk of Getting the Flu

For decades, Americans have been lectured, pressured, and in many cases coerced into getting annual flu shots under the promise that “the science is settled” and that vaccination is an unquestionable public good.
But a growing body of research is blowing that narrative apart, and the latest data are nothing short of explosive.
A new study from the prestigious Cleveland Clinic has found that the 2024-2025 flu shot not only failed to protect people but also increased their risk of contracting the flu.
The study, published as a preprint on medRxiv and led by Dr. Nabin K.

By the end of the 25-week observation period (ending March 26, 2025), 82.1% of the cohort (43,857 individuals) had been vaccinated, primarily with the trivalent inactivated vaccine.
A total of 1,079 employees (2.02%) tested positive for influenza, with 98.8% being influenza A cases.

Chilling omen of house price crash as America's No 2 homebuilder forced to slash prices by 10%
READ MORE: Another bourbon distiller files for bankruptcy as sector collapses
By MARTHA WILLIAMS, US REAL ESTATE & CONSUMER REPORTER
Published: 00:22 EST, 31 December 2025 | Updated: 05:53 EST, 31 December 2025
America’s housing market is flashing a fresh warning sign that prices are falling — and it’s coming from one of its biggest players.
Lennar, the second-largest US homebuilder, was forced to slash the cost of its houses by 10 percent in the final three months of 2025 as buyers disappeared.
It is a chilling signal of what may be coming next — not just for other new-builds, but for the roughly 130 million existing houses, apartments and condos across America.
Big builders like Lennar act as a canary in the coal mine for the wider housing market because they have no escape hatch.
Unlike most ordinary homeowners, who can pull a listing and wait if they don’t get their price, builders are stuck with new-builds that generate costs every day they sit unsold.
When buyers disappear, cutting prices becomes the only option. The typical Lennar home cost $386,000 in late-2025, compared to $430,000 during the same period in 2024.
The average existing home in the US is worth $360,000. If it's value dropped by the same percentage, the typical American homeowner would see their biggest asset drop by in value by $36,000.
Lennar’s price cuts, revealed in its latest quarterly earnings, show how quickly pressure is building across the housing market.
Despite selling more homes, the company’s revenue from home sales fell seven percent year-on-year to $8.9 billion in the final quarter, as lower prices more than offset higher volumes.
Lennar’s average selling price is now down 21 percent from its pandemic-era peak.
Stuart Miller, Lennar’s chairman and co-CEO, said it had also been forced to offer incentives, which typically mean things like free carpets or money towards deposits, on top of price cuts.
He said that because the market is still unpredictable, the company cannot be sure what will happen in 2026 but hopes to sell around 85,000 homes.

Seattle schools quizzing kids as young as 11 on sexual orientation, drug use — and sharing data with 3rd parties
By David Spector
Published Dec. 27, 2025, 7:52 a.m. ET
More than 20 Seattle public middle and high schools surveyed kids about gender identity and sexual orientation without telling their parents — and allegedly shared the data with third parties.
The state’s Check Yourself Survey, which is administered in every Seattle middle school and high school, prompts students as young as 11 to answer questions and fill in the blanks about their personal lives, the National Review reported.
“I am most likely to have a crush on,” one question asks before providing a list of answers which includes “all genders” and “males and females.”
Another prompt reads “About Me: I identify as,” with the options listed including “questioning my gender identity” and “non-binary.”
Students, some as young as sixth-graders, were also asked what their “top goals” are for the coming year, with “be in a romantic relationship” listed as an option, the outlet reported.
The kids didn’t all appreciate the questions.
“No I’m also twelve,” one answered, according to the outlet, while another responded, “why do you want to know my sexual orientation,” and another replied: “I never want to do this again.”
The survey, which has been taken by 67,000 students since its inception nearly a decade ago, also asks students about smoking, drinking, drug use, suicidal ideation and problems at home including “fighting or physically hurting others.”
The data was allegedly shared with numerous third parties, including Seattle Children’s Hospital Research Institute and King County, which encompasses Seattle, according to National Review.
The US Department of Education’s Student Private Policy office is investigating the Seattle-area schools.
Parents said they were never informed of the sexual nature of some of the survey questions, or that the information would be shared outside the schools, the National Review reported.
Nearly two dozen parents signed a letter insisting schools get written permission before administering the survey.
“If parents want to sign their kids up for a program that releases their health information and their personally identifiable information, that is their decision, but every parent deserves to make this decision under informed written consent,” Seattle mom Stephanie Hager told the National Review.
“These records are super valuable because this is very difficult information to get from students or from adolescents, kids, minors,” Hager claimed.
The King County Ombudsman’s Office found “no evidence indicates wrongful disclosure of private student information by King County,” according to a 2024 report — which also acknowledged that one school district released “sensitive student identifying information . . . several years ago.”
Seattle Public Schools reportedly used a $1.5 million federal grant for the survey in 2025 by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
A spokesperson for SAMHSA told The Post that the funds can not be used for services that violate federal law and that the agency is reviewing the matter internally. The county denied responsibility for the disclosure.
The Department of Education, the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and Seattle Public Schools did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.

Will 2026 Be A Year Of War With Iran, Russia And China?
December 28, 2025
I think that nearly the entire population of the world would like to see peace in 2026, but global events just continue to drag us toward war. I honestly do not understand why more people are not upset about this. The drumbeats of war seem to get louder with each passing day, and we are getting dangerously close to a point of no return. Nobody wanted World War I to happen, but once it started nobody could stop it and more than 20 million people died. Nobody wanted World War II to happen, but once it started nobody could stop it and more than 50 million people died. Now we have reached a stage where a war between major powers should be unthinkable because of the immense power of the weapons that we now possess. If we are not very careful, billions of people could die before World War III is finally over.
I am extremely concerned that war with Iran could erupt again very soon.
On Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ominously declared that his nation is “at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe”…
Iran’s president declared they were in a “total war” with the US, Israel and Europe, just as Tehran looks to rebuild its nuclear capabilities and strengthen ties with Hamas.
Masoud Pezeshkian made the bold statement in an interview published in state media Saturday, Barron’s reported.
“In my opinion, we are at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees,” Pezeshkian said.
I don’t like the sound of that at all.
How does a “total war” end?
Pezeshkian seems to believe that the U.S., Israel and Europe are “besieging” Iran from every direction…
“This war is worse than Iraq’s war against us; if one understands it well, this war is far more complex and difficult than that war,” Pezeshkian said. Iran fought a prolonged war with its neighbor throughout the 1980s.
“In the war with Iraq, the situation was clear: they fired missiles,” the Iranian president said. But the U.S., Israel and European countries politically, economically, culturally “besieging” Iran, as well as impacting the nation’s security, he added.
“On one side, they block our sales, our exchanges, our trade, and on the other side, expectations in society have risen,” Pezeshkian said.
A predator that has been backed into a corner is extremely dangerous.
The Iranians have rebuilt their strategic missile arsenal, and it is now even stronger than it was during the 12 Day War.
And Pezeshkian is warning that if Iran is attacked again, those that do so will “face a more decisive response”…
Pezeshkian brushed off the impact of Trump’s strikes in June in his latest remarks, and said Iran’s military has rebuilt to a stronger position than it was in before the conflict.
‘Our beloved military forces are doing their jobs with strength and now, in terms of equipment and manpower, despite all the problems we have, they are stronger than when they attacked,’ he said.
‘So if they want to attack, they will naturally face a more decisive response.’
Needless to say, Pezeshkian is not being paranoid in this particular case, because it is being widely reported that the Israelis are considering an attack on Iran’s ballistic missile program.
In fact, it appears that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be discussing this with President Trump when he travels to Florida on Monday…
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to travel to Mar-a-Lago Monday where he is expected to pitch President Trump on a plan to launch new strikes against Tehran.
Israeli sources claim that the Islamic Republic is repairing its air defense systems and rebuilding its ballistic missile program, both of which were destroyed by airstrikes during the war, according to an NBC report.
The Florida powwow also is believed to be crucial to the Gaza deal, with top White House aides believing Netanyahu is sabotaging the peace framework, Axios reported.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is alleging that our European allies are “getting ready to fight it out with Russia on the battlefield”…
“After a new administration came to power in the United States, Europe and the European Union emerged as the main obstacles to peace,” Russia’s veteran Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Russia’s Tass state news agency in an interview published on Sunday. “They are making no secret of the fact that they are getting ready to fight it out with Russia on the battlefield.”
Lavrov is not wrong about this.
In fact, earlier this month I listed a whole bunch of signs that the Europeans are feverishly preparing for war.
But the mainstream media keeps telling us that the Ukrainians and the Europeans want peace.
Of course I don’t believe that is true at all.
The Ukrainians and the Europeans fully understand that the “peace plan” that they are working on does not have a prayer of actually being accepted by the Russians…
On Christmas Eve, Zelensky said the US and Ukraine had reached a consensus on a number of critical issues, and indicated he was open to creating a demilitarised zone on his country’s eastern border with Russia.
But he has continued to resist Russian demands that Ukraine gives up two of its eastern regions, Luhansk and Donetsk.
Russia is also likely to object to a role for Nato forces in monitoring a ceasefire, which European leaders including Sir Keir and French President Emmanuel Macron have said must form part of any deal.
Once the Russians inevitably reject this “deal”, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham says that it will be time to start seizing tankers that are carrying Russian oil…
If Putin says “no” this time, I hope the president will sign our bill and impose tariffs on China and other countries purchasing cheap oil from Russia, a state sponsor of terrorism. Therefore, it is equally important to seize and arrest ships carrying sanctioned Russian oil, following the Venezuelan scenario.
And the Europeans may use it as an excuse to start sending troops into Ukraine, even though they know that the Russians have warned over and over again that they will shoot at any European troops that enter the country…
It comes as Moscow warned that any European troop contingents deployed to Ukraine would become legitimate targets for Russia’s armed forces in comments published by Russia’s state news agency TASS on Sunday.
Mr Putin warned that Moscow would accomplish all its goals by force if Ukraine didn’t want to resolve the conflict peacefully.
The Russians have made it very clear what it will take to make a deal.
Since they are winning the war, they feel like they have the right to set the terms.
Of course the Ukrainians and the Europeans will never give the Russians what they want.
And so Russian forces will just continue to march forward.
In recent weeks, the pace at which the Russians have been taking territory has increased…
In the Zaporozhie southern region, Gulyaipole and Stepnogorsk were conquered.
Gulyaipole, the second biggest Zaporozhie city, is an important stronghold and a key logistics hub and it fell after a short siege.
In the Donetsk region, Mirnograd (Dimitrov), Rodinskoye, Artemovka and Volnoye were also conquered.
Mirnograd/Dimitrov is an important part of the Pokrovsk/Krasnoarmeysk agglomeration, one of the last major fortified areas under Ukraine’s control in the Donbass.
Within the past few days, there has apparently been a significant breakthrough in the Zaporizhia region.
According to one report, it is “eight kilometers deep in places and 20 kilometers wide”…
Russian troops from the Dnipro Group of Forces have broken through the Kyiv regime’s front west of Orekhovo in the Zaporizhia region. According to military analysts, the breach is up to eight kilometers deep in places and 20 kilometers wide.
According to reports from the field, Russian units are currently advancing toward the settlements of Magdalinovka, Pavlovka, and Lukyanovskoye. Concurrently, the clearing of Stepnogorsk, where a significant Ukrainian Armed Forces force was recently encircled, continues.
The more Russian units advance, the more pressure European leaders will feel to intervene militarily.
And if NATO forces move into Ukraine, we will be just one step away from nuclear war.
Sadly, we are also getting closer to war with China.
The largest arms sale to Taiwan in history was recently approved, and in response the Chinese slapped sanctions on 20 U.S. defense companies…
China has imposed sanctions against 20 US defence-related companies and 10 executives, a week after Washington announced large-scale arms sales to Taiwan.
According to the Chinese foreign ministry, the sanctions entail freezing the companies’ assets in China and banning individuals and organisations from dealing with them.
“We stress once again that the Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests and the first red line that must not be crossed in China－US relations,” the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday.
“Any company or individual who engages in arms sales to Taiwan will pay the price for the wrongdoing.”
Why would we approve such a large arms package for Taiwan when things were already so tense with China?
We just can
’t seem to stop provoking the Chinese.Needless to say, the Chinese are also very upset that we have been seizing Venezuelan oil tankers
…China on Monday accused the U.S. of violating international law in seizing oil tankers off the coast of Venezuela, appearing to take the side of Caracas as Washington looks to take a third oil tanker this month.
“The U.S. practice of arbitrarily seizing other countries’ vessels grossly violates international law,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters, according to Bloomberg, adding that Beijing opposes anything that “infringes upon other countries’ sovereignty and security, and all acts of unilateralism or bullying.”Lin added that Venezuela
“has the right to independently develop mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries,” and Beijing supports Caracas in “defending its own legitimate rights and interests.”Venezuela has the most proven oil reserves on the entire planet, and the Chinese purchase more oil from Venezuela than everyone else combined.
Ultimately, a military confrontation with Venezuela could eventually evolve into a military confrontation with China.
The time to stop a war is before it starts.
If we do not choose peace now, the consequences could be cataclysmic.
When will everybody finally start waking up?
We are literally at one of the most critical turning points in history, but most people in the western world have become so deeply addicted to entertainment that they have absolutely no idea what is really going on out there.

UPDATED 12:48 PM EST -- REPORT: "A SYSTEMICALLY-IMPORTANT BANK COLLAPSED AT 2:47 AM SUNDAY"
Hal Turner World December 28, 2025 Hits: 71338
As this story is written, it is 11:01 AM eastern U.S. time on Sunday, December 28. Reports have been coming in CLAIMING "a systemically important bank, a major player in Silver Futures, failed to pay its Margin Call by 2:00 AM and was liquidated by the futures Exchange at 2:47 AM eastern US time."
The reports are CONCEALING the name of the bank, but it is confirmed that overnight, the federal reserve was forced to pump another $34 Billion into the Banking System through its Emergency Overnight Repo facility. This $34 Billion is on top of the $17 Billion which had to be pumped-in two days ago, on Friday morning.
The Bank involved is described as "one of the largest players in the precious metals derivatives market" blew past every risk limit, breached every covenant. and exhausted every line of credit."
The Bank is further described as having been "massively short silver; we are talking massive positions numbering in the hundreds-of-millions ounces."
According to the information coming out this morning, when Silver broke through $70 per ounce on Friday, this bank received a "Margin Call" from the Commodities Exchange(s) which "exceeded their liquid capital." I am further told that "the clearinghouse gave them until Sunday morning to post $2.3 BILLION in additional cash collateral."
The report goes on to say that "over the past 36 hours, the Bank Executives frantically tried to raise cash. They reportedly called their counter-parties, they tried to sell assets, they begged for Bridge loans. Nobody helped them."
According to the reports, "Every major bank on Wall Street looked at the Bank's Derivatives Book and saw the bank was "already dead;" they just hadn't stop moving yet."
If these reports prove to be factual, and I have NO CONFIRMATION yet, the fall of this "systemically important" bank will have immediate repercussions throughout the entire banking system.
You see, a "systemically important" bank is a counter-party to many other banks in certain financial contracts, such as derivatives. If the counter-party fails, all those derivative contracts are now failed.
More info if and when I get it. Check back later.
UPDATE 12:48 PM EST --
According to additional information, at 2:47 AM the Bank notified the Exchange that they could NOT meet the $2.3 Billion margin call. At 3:03 AM, the Exchange began forced liquidation of the Contracts. By 4:15 AM, the Banks positions on the Exchange were fully closed. SIXTEEN MINUTES LATER FEDERAL REGULATORS SEIZED THE BANK TO PREVENT A DISORDERLY UNWIND.

BRICS Orders 1.7 Million Oil Barrels in a Big Blow to the US
Vinod Dsouza
December 21, 2025
In a big blow to the US and the Trump administration, India ordered 1.7 million barrels of oil from its BRICS counterpart, Russia, in November, despite sanctions, and the amount is up 3.4% from October. In addition, 1.2 million barrels of oil were shipped from Russia to India in December. The procurement comes despite India being under pressure from the US to stop buying Russian oil.
India’s State-run refiners, such as Indian Oil Corp and Bharat Petroleum, are buying Russian crude oil. Hindustan Petroleum is also in talks with Russia and could resume oil purchases from January 2026. BRICS members India and Russia are not bowing down to US sanctions and continuing the purchases.
BRICS is receiving oil at discounted prices from Russia and saving millions in foreign exchange rates. The settlements are happening in local currencies such as the rupee and the ruble. The Chinese yuan is also being used for oil deals with China. The US dollar is being phased out, thanks to the sanctions from the White House.
While BRICS is helping Russia in sustaining its economy, the US thinks otherwise. American authorities gave a statement that sanctions are working against the Russian economy. “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, Russia has been forced to accept deep discounts and fewer buyers for its oil. These pressures are limiting the Kremlin’s revenues and increasing the financial strain of sustaining its war,” a US official said.
India had previously saved close to $7 billion in foreign exchange rates and benefited from the US sanctions on Russia. The sanctions have mostly turned out to be a blessing in disguise for BRICS members. It also helped them advance the de-dollarization agenda while saving big on exchange rates. Despite the Trump administration’s trying to clamp down on oil sales, it has yet to be successful.

No Peace Plan Will Stop The Terrorists' Jihad Against Israel
By Khaled Abu Toameh/Gatestone Institute December 30, 2025
More than two months after the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip went into effect, the Iran-backed Hamas terror group seems more determined than ever to stay in power and continue its armed struggle to destroy Israel.
On December 14, Hamas marked the 38th anniversary of its founding by praising its October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel's southern communities as a "gigantic milestone and landmark in the struggle for freedom and independence and the defeat and elimination of the occupation [Israel]." On that day, more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals were murdered, and thousands wounded. Another 251 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, where Hamas is still holding the remains of one hostage.
Hamas has no regrets over the massacre it committed on October 7 and the ensuing war, which claimed the lives of thousands of Palestinians and destroyed large parts of the Gaza Strip. Instead of apologizing to the Palestinians for bringing death and destruction on them, the terror group issued a statement offering "greetings to the Palestinians for their Hamas seized the opportunity to repeat its "categorical rejection of any form of trusteeship or mandate over the Gaza Strip."
This is a reference to US President Donald J. Trump's plan for peace in the Gaza Strip. The plan calls for the establishment of an international body, the "Board of Peace," to help with the administration, reconstruction, and economic recovery of the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the war. The plan, in addition, calls for the deployment of an "International Stabilization Force" (ISF) and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.
Since the announcement of Trump's plan, Hamas has repeatedly expressed its opposition to the presence of a non-Palestinian governing body in the Gaza Strip. Moreover, the terror group has dismissed the idea of laying down its weapons. It has also made it clear that the role of any international force should be limited just to monitoring the implementation of the ceasefire with Israel. According to Hamas, the proposed International Stabilization Force should be stationed at the borders of the Gaza Strip, and not in areas controlled by the terror group.
Hamas said in its latest statement:
"The Palestinian people alone decide who governs them, and they have the legitimate right to resist, liberate their land, and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital... Hamas affirms its commitment to its principles since its inception and its loyalty to the blood of the martyrs and the sacrifices of the prisoners, until liberation and the return [of Palestinian refugees and their descendants to their former homes inside Israel].... Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa Mosque will remain the focus of the conflict. The Palestinian people have the right to all resistance [meaning: terrorism against Israel]."
When Hamas says that it remains committed to its principles, it is referring to its 1988 charter, which quotes Imam Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, as saying: "Israel will exist and continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." Hamas describes itself as "one of the wings of Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine" and states that "initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement [Hamas]."
Hamas, in other words, has not given up its dream of eliminating Israel.
Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official living comfortably in Qatar, said in a speech marking the anniversary of the founding of his group that "the Palestinian people's resistance is still alive, and [the Hamas] leadership is steadfast and firm." Al-Hayya argued that the two-year war in the Gaza Strip has "proven that [Israel] can be defeated and that the liberation of Palestine is possible if it is based on careful planning and unified efforts." He praised the October 7 massacre as a "model of what could happen if the [Muslim] nation's efforts were combined" against Israel.
The Hamas leader boasted that the war "complicated and set back" efforts by the US to normalize relations between Israel and some Arab and Islamic countries, including Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hayya emphasized Hamas's rejection of "all forms of guardianship or mandate over the Palestinian people" and said that the mission of Trump's "Board of Peace" should be limited to overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire, funding, and supervising the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
Regarding the International Stabilization Force, al-Hayya stressed that its role should be limited to maintaining the ceasefire without any interference in the internal affairs of the Gaza Strip. The weapons of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, he added, are "a legitimate right guaranteed by international laws, and this right is linked to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state."
Another senior Hamas official, Hossam Badran, said that his group "will continue its struggle and Jihad in confronting the Zionist project in Palestine," adding:
"Since its founding, Hamas has waged direct military battles against the [Israeli] enemy. We need to combine efforts and unite all energies for the greater role of liberating Palestine."
"Liberating Palestine" is a euphemism for destroying Israel and replacing it with an Islamist state.
It is worth noting that several Palestinian terror groups, including Palestinian Islamic Jihad, "congratulated" Hamas on the 38th anniversary of its founding and vowed to support the Jihad against Israel. Needless to say, the terror groups also voiced support for the October 7 atrocities.
These statements by Hamas and the other Palestinian terror groups show that they have no intention of honoring Trump's plan. They view the Trump plan as nothing more than a temporary ceasefire that allows them to regroup, rearm, and pursue their Jihad to annihilate Israel.
It is simply nonsensical to believe that any peace plan would end the terrorists' Jihad against Israel. Unfortunately, there is no alternative to a total defeat and eradication of Hamas and its allies.

'Jesus Is Real, God Is Real, Heaven Is Real': Woman Dies and Visits Heaven After Heart Attack
Isaac Gwin
12-29-2025
At first, Janelle Wofford thought she was having indigestion. When her pain got worse, she called 911. Then, moments after the EMTs arrived, Janelle says everything went white, and she experienced the afterlife.
"I didn't have pain at all. What is everyone back on earth doing? I wasn't worried about that. I wasn't worried about anything and I was just overwhelmed with the peace and the joy and the glory of it all," Janelle recalls.
It all started with a heart attack that killed her. That's when Janelle's spirit was transported to Heaven.
"Pretty quickly after finishing eating I had a feeling that was heavy in my chest, but just felt like indigestion and didn't really think a whole lot of it," Janelle tells CBN. "Then I noticed pain in my left shoulder. It started to kind of go up near my jaw."
"My breathing was getting a little harder, shallow, and all of a sudden I got real clammy and sweaty," Janelle said. "That's when I really started to think, well, maybe this really is something going on with my heart. I called for my daughter to come out to talk to me, and I let her know I wasn't feeling right, that I felt like I might need to go to the hospital."
"She's like, 'call 911,'" Janelle says, describing her daughter's frantic response. "So, I did. They came in and I remember the EMT started asking me questions, who I was, how I was feeling, and I started to describe to him the pain and what all the symptoms were that I was feeling. All of a sudden, I just said, 'My head feels funny.' I said, 'And my vision.' And at that point all I saw, it was like this veil – this white, cloudy veil just kind of came down. And that was it."
During this last week of the year, CBN donors have been given a special offer. All gifts given before midnight tonight will be matched, up to $200,000. You can give today HERE to support the work of CBN in the U.S. and around the world.
"The next thing I know is I was just in a bright, bright place and was overwhelmed with joy and peace and happiness," Janelle said as she found herself in Heaven. "I was looking around at everything, everyone, just trying to see who all was there. It was a place of comfort. It was like a familiar place. I knew people that I loved were there, and I was looking to see what all was there and who all was there. It was just beautiful. No pain, no fear, just peace, comfort, joy. It was amazing. Why would you want to leave? I didn't."
"As I'm doing all that, I hear my name called out," Janelle says, putting her hand to her ear. "I was like, 'No thank you, I'm happy here. I'm staying here. I'm enjoying this. I'm not leaving this.' Then I heard my name again and I'm like, 'Oh, do I have to answer?' I said, 'Maybe if I answer, they'll let me come back.' So, I answered, and the moment I answered to my name – the minute I answered my name, it was gone. I was back right there with the EMTs, no longer in Heaven."
"Then they just started letting me know what was going on," Janelle says about the EMTs attending to her. "They told me I had actually had a heart attack, that they had to perform CPR and shock my heart to get me back. He said that it was about two to two and a half minutes that I had been dead, that I had no heartbeat."

She was taken to a hospital where her diagnosis was rendered.
"I ended up having a tear in one of my arteries, a very small tear," Janelle says. "They gave me some heart medications and said that I should be alright and that it should heal up on its own. I was only in the hospital for two days and I was able to go home."
"I really believe the Lord let me go through this for my daughter," Janelle says of her Heavenly experience. "So, that she can have that reassurance to know, truly know, that Jesus is real, God is real, Heaven is real and it's all worth it. To know that whatever you go through on this earth, in this earthly life, as bad and as hard as it is, it's worth it to know Jesus as your savior and to trust God with all you're going through."

Tyson plant closure and shifts being cut will eliminate 7 to 9 percent of total beef processing capacity nationwide
Dec 29, 2025
Late in 2025, Tyson Foods announced a major restructuring of its beef processing operations that will significantly affect local communities, cattle markets, and the broader meatpacking industry.
Central to the announcement is the permanent closure of Tyson’s large beef processing facility in Lexington, Nebraska, scheduled for January 20, 2026, along with a reduction to a single shift at another Tyson plant in Amarillo, Texas. Together, these moves are expected to remove roughly 7–9 percent of U.S. beef processing capacity, a notable contraction in an industry already grappling with supply challenges.
According to Wisconsin Public Radio, Tyson described the decision as an effort to “right size” its beef business amid persistent financial pressures and limited cattle supplies.
Economists have been closely monitoring how the closure could impact both cattle producers and consumers. Traditionally, the shutdown of a processing plant leads to lower cattle prices for ranchers and higher beef prices at grocery stores, as processing capacity tightens.
However, livestock economist David Anderson of Texas A&M University suggested this situation may be different. “Typically, when a plant closes, what we expect is lower cattle prices and higher beef prices, because we’ve lost this capacity,” Anderson said. “But at the same time, we’ve got so much excess capacity already that that may not happen. It’s not like the closing has created a constraint on packing.”
That assessment reflects broader conditions across the U.S. beef industry. In 2025, the nation’s cattle herd fell to its smallest size in more than seventy years, driven by prolonged drought, high feed costs, and shrinking profit margins for ranchers.
As a result, many beef processing plants have been operating below full capacity. Nationally, plants were running at just over 81 percent capacity, while the Lexington facility itself was operating at approximately 75 percent, leaving room for other plants to absorb some of the displaced production.
Despite these industry-wide factors, the local consequences of the closure are expected to be severe. The Lexington plant employs more than 3,200 workers, making it the town’s largest employer in a community of just over 10,000 residents.
In comparison, the Amarillo facility — where Tyson is cutting shifts affecting around 1,700 workers — is located in a much larger city with a more diversified economy. Anderson emphasized the disparity, noting, “It’s so difficult to replace an employer of that magnitude. So the rippling effect of this is pretty terrible.”
The closure is also expected to impact cattle producers and feedlot operators in the surrounding region. Without a nearby processing facility, producers may be forced to ship cattle farther distances, increasing transportation costs and shrinking already-thin margins. One local feedlot operator estimated that hauling cattle to more distant plants could add about $20 per head, a significant burden at scale.
Beyond economics, community leaders worry about deeper social consequences. Over the past three decades, Tyson’s presence in Lexington helped shape the town’s demographic and cultural landscape, drawing workers from across the country and abroad.
Many fear that the loss of the plant will lead to population decline as families relocate in search of work. One resident warned that the closure could trigger an “exodus of the immigrant population, just because there won’t be jobs right here in town.”

Okla. pastor recovering from stab wounds after woman wielding dagger attacks church service
By Ryan Foley, Christian Post Reporter Monday, December 29, 2025
An Oklahoma pastor is recovering from stab wounds after an altercation at his church last week.
In a statement last Monday, Police Chief Jeremy Cantrell of the Pryor Creek Police Department announced that law enforcement responded to a “reported disturbance" at the Church of Christ in Pryor earlier that day.
“Upon arrival, officers located an active physical altercation inside the church,” Cantrell said.
“An adult staff member sustained injuries, including lacerations, and was provided immediate medical care before being transported to a Tulsa-area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” he added. “An adult female was taken into custody following officer intervention and was transported to the Mayes County Jail on a federal hold after medical evaluation. The scene was quickly secured, and there is no ongoing threat to the public. Due to the suspect’s tribal status, the suspect has been referred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
Cantrell provided additional details about the incident in a subsequent Facebook post last Tuesday. “It is clear the attack was unprovoked, deliberate, and intentional,” he wrote. “The suspect attacked the pastor with a dagger.”
He added that “two senior parishioners immediately came to the aid of the pastor, placing themselves directly in harm’s way without hesitation.”
“Their actions very likely prevented more serious injury,” he said. “The pastor sustained stab wounds to his hand and received stitches to his chin. He is expected to undergo surgery on his hand. Even after being stabbed, the pastor remained calm and composed under circumstances most people would not.”
Cantrell expressed gratitude that “the pastor is expected to make a full recovery” and praised the parishioners who intervened as “true examples of bravery, selflessness, and faith” and lauded their ability to disarm the suspect.
Although Cantrell did not identify the suspect or the victim in the attack, the website for the Pryor Church of Christ names DJ Castoe as the pastor.
A Facebook post by John Lovitt, a retired minister who served at multiple churches, including Pryor Church of Christ, shared a local news report naming the suspect as Whitney Adney.
“This disturbed individual tried to kill DJ Castoe, the preacher at the Pryor church of Christ, where I once preached, and DJ was in our youth group back then,” Lovitt said. “He has to have surgery Wednesday in the hospital. I pray he has a full recovery and that this woman is kept from being a danger to anyone else.”
The local news report shared by Lovitt on Facebook included information from the probable cause affidavit filed in federal court stating that local law enforcement discovered the pastor “bleeding and holding down Adney” after encountering one of the senior parishioners “holding a black dagger” and “asking for help” after disarming the suspect. The social media post also stated that the suspect was “yelling something about a cult.”
