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.'

Trump's billionaire adviser publicly rebukes Iran war as JD Vance camp erupts over Israel nuke threat
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 minutesUS 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
Copied
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..

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.

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.

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.
“They need a connection with their almighty God.” pic.twitter.com/u45lnwhytm
— Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) March 9, 2026
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.

— Orthodox Christian (@orthodox_33ad) March 3, 2026
"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 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.)

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.

"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.

"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.

etc. If you look at Russia she is ready to strike, Iran ready to strike, North Korea ready to strike, they are not playing games; they are serious with the things that they are saying. Only you have felt that they have feared you, and because you have felt that they have feared you, you are not listening as close as you should. etc.
