Walking away completely is not the answer. Forcing a renegotiation is. It’s time NATO needs to pay the U.S. for it’s involvement with NATO.
For decades, the United States has carried this alliance on its back. We fund it. We defend it. We lead it. Meanwhile, too many member nations freeload, underinvest in their own defense, and still expect American protection. That era should be over. If NATO wants the United States, NATO needs to pay for the United States. Period.
And then there’s Spain.
If Spain is blocking U.S. access to bases and airspace during critical operations tied to Iran, that’s not just unhelpful. That’s betrayal. You don’t get to sit under the NATO umbrella while undermining the very country that makes that umbrella possible.
So here’s the line. Spain should be kicked out of NATO.
Not warned. Not negotiated with. Removed.
An alliance requires loyalty. If Spain won’t stand with America when it matters, they don’t belong. Let them see what defense looks like without the United States backing them.
The US and Israel step up attacks, targeting a century-old medical research centre in Tehran, a bridge near the capital and steel plants after United States President Donald Trump threatens to bomb Iran back to “the Stone Ages”.
During his address to the nation on Wednesday, Trump said that the US was close to completing its core objectives in Iran – but didn’t offer a firm timeline for when the conflict might end. Iran says Tehran will continue to ‘fight back’.
Two of Iran’s biggest steel plants – Khuzestan Steel Company in the city of Ahvaz and Mobarakeh Steel Company in the central Isfahan province – say they have been pushed out of service following a series of US-Israeli attacks.

Canada’s prime minister declares Islam as Canada’s new cultural identity which all Canadians “must come together” and follow the Muslim community as they worship Islam by marking ‘Eid al-Adha’.
As you can see in the video, during his speech he urged Canadians to adopt Islam and embrace its values as their new shared culture with the Muslim population in Canada and Muslims around the world who are welcome to come to Canada and enrich it with more foreign religions values because: Muslim values (jihad and martyrdom) are Canadian values.

Hungary didn’t just ‘remove’ the EU flag…they threw that symbol of Brussels BETRAYAL straight out of Parliament. The Globalist Vampire Squad is getting its’ tentacles chopped off one nation at a time… pic.twitter.com/xTZocsjuV7
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary has repeatedly stressed that migration is not a complex puzzle that needs compromise, but a simple legal issue: those who enter unlawfully should not be allowed into the country and must be denied legal status if they do. Orbán has insisted that “there is a simple rule: you have to be able to protect your own borders,” and that Hungary’s experience — with only a handful of asylum applications accepted when strict enforcement is in place — proves that firm border control works if political will exists.

Trump: “Well, I think it’ll [Hormuz] automatically open, but my attitude is, I’ve obliterated the country.”
.
President Trump has posted on social media this morning, clearly signaling he is further down the road towards an off-ramp:
.
All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us.Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT
The reaction was a drop in the price of oil…

TEHRAN — Iran fired missiles across the Middle East on Tuesday as its capital was hit by fresh explosions, after US President Donald Trump threatened the country’s key oil export hub, power stations and desalination plants.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio tells Al Jazeera in an exclusive interview that US President Donald Trump prefers diplomacy as a way to end the conflict with Iran, and direct talks with Tehran are ongoing through intermediaries.
Trump earlier threatened to target Iran’s civilian energy infrastructure, including power plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island, if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The announcement comes after Madrid refused to let Washington use jointly operated military bases for the US-Israel war on Iran.
US President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade with Madrid after the Spanish government denied the US use of the Rota and Moron military bases in southern Spain, forcing 15 US aircraft to relocate.
Spain has also been a vocal critic of Israel’s war on Gaza. In October, its parliament approved the enshrinement in law of a total arms embargo on Israel, permanently banning the sale of weapons, dual-use technology and military equipment.
Some action in Judea & Samaria:
This is from Al Jazeera, so the language is about “settlers” & “occupied”.
Israeli forces stormed schools run by UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, in the Shuafat refugee camp, northeast of occupied East Jerusalem.
Israeli forces arrested a 24-year-old student during a raid on his home in Kafr al-Dik, west of Salfit.
Dozens of Israeli settlers set up mobile homes on Palestinian-owned land in the village of Birin, southeast of Hebron, to expand the illegal outpost of Mitzpe Ziv.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound remains closed after it was shut to Muslim worshippers in late February. Israeli authorities extended the state of emergency until mid-April.
The Israeli parliament approved the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners accused of killing Israelis.
For more on what has happened in Palestinian territory this week, here is a recap.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is best known to be the cheerleader for “death to America, death to Israel” in Iran
President Donald Trump said on Monday that his administration is negotiating with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, who he said was part of “a new, and more reasonable, regime.”
Trump said he expected to “find out in about a week” whether Ghalibaf is a suitable partner for extended negotiations.
Ghalibaf has rejected ceasefire terms, declaring Iran would continue fighting “until the enemy truly regrets its aggression.”
An Iranian official has told Al Jazeera Arabic that no ship can sail through the Strait of Hormuz without an agreement with Iran and a thorough review of its documents.
“No ship carrying cargo for a hostile country has crossed the Strait of Hormuz so far, and none will cross it in the future,” the official added.
Iranian state media says a US-Israeli attack has targeted a petrochemical plant in Tabriz, while Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the United States is plotting a ground attack despite publicly engaging in diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war.
UNIFIL says a peacekeeper has been killed in an attack on a southern Lebanon position.
Correction:
NO, Speaker Ghalibaf has not been eliminated, at least not yet.
That doesn’t mean he’s got an extra lease on life.
The US or the IDF may take him out at any time of their choosing.
Iran’s Ghalibaf warns country’s enemies will regret aggression against Iran
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warns that the nation’s enemies are presenting their “desires” as news while simultaneously issuing threats against the country.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has declared that the United States is “winning” in the fight against Iran, but he declined to provide a timeline as to when the war would end, stressing that decision lies with President Donald Trump.
“We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated,” Hegseth said.
“We do so on our timeline and at our choosing. For example, today will be yet again, our most intense day of strikes inside Iran – the most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes.”
Pentagon readies ‘for weeks of US ground operations’ in Iran
The plans, which fall short of a full invasion, could involve raids by special operations and conventional infantry troops, The Washington Post reported.
The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of limited ground operations in Iran, potentially including raids on Kharg Island and coastal sites near the Strait of Hormuz, according to United States officials quoted by The Washington Post newspaper.
The plans, which fall short of a full invasion, could involve raids by special operations and conventional infantry troops, the Post reported on Saturday, exposing US personnel to Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire, and improvised explosives.
Whether President Donald Trump would approve any of those plans remains uncertain, according to the report.
“It’s the job of the Pentagon to make preparations in order to give the Commander in Chief maximum optionality. It does not mean the president has made a decision,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, responding to questions over the Post report.

Iran’s Araghchi tells Saudi Arabia: ‘Time to eject US forces’
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says his country respects Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation, emphasising that regional operations are directed solely at “enemy aggressors”.
The Arabs don’t trust the Shia rafida, for good reason.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has lowered the minimum age to 12 for participation in war-related activities. No, it’s not that boys and girls will be sent off to fight. Instead, children as young as 12 will now be used to help man checkpoints, to go on patrols (presumably to watch out for saboteurs, or for signs of discontent and defeatism among the population), and to help with logistics. The Iranian state needs all the help it can get — even from its children. More on this sign of desperation can be found here: “Iran Lowers Minimum Age for War Roles to 12, Sparking Outcry Over Child Soldier Use,” by Ailin Vilches Arguello, Algemeiner, March 26, 2026:
The Iranian regime has lowered the minimum age for participation in war-related activities to just 12 years old, a move that will likely fuel the concerns of human rights groups, which have condemned Iran’s treatment of children.
In a televised interview with state media, Rahim Nadali, a cultural with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran, announced that the new initiative “For Iran” is recruiting participants to assist with patrols, checkpoints, and logistics.
“Since children are increasingly volunteering to take part, we have lowered the minimum age to 12,” Nadali said, urging young children to join the war effort if they wish.
