Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have confirmed their first attack on Israel since the United States-Israeli war on Iran began. The ballistic missile attack that was intercepted by Israel targeted Israeli military sites located in the south of the occupied West Bank, the group says.
US President Donald Trump has said he is “very disappointed” with NATO’s response to the war on Iran. Speaking at a business conference, Trump said: “I’ve always said NATO is a paper tiger. And I always said we help NATO, but they’ll never help us.”
Remarks carried by the semi-official Tasnim news agency:
“We had previously warned that the aggressive American army had fled and hidden outside its bases due to the powerful invasion of the armed forces and the destruction of its bases in the region.”
“Trump and the leaders of the American military must realise that the region will turn into a graveyard for American soldiers and they will have no choice but to surrender.”
The Pentagon is looking at sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East to “give the US President more military options”, the WSJ reported
Iran “Laying Traps” & “Building Up Defenses” On Kharg Island
Iranian forces are said to be “laying traps” and “building up defenses” on Kharg Island, in preparation for a possible US ground attack and takeover. Iran has recently bolstered its defenses around Kharg Island, anticipating a possible US move to seize the key oil export hub, CNN reported this week. The island is vital to Iran’s economy, handling roughly 90% of its crude shipments, and has become a focal point in escalating tensions.
There is also growing skepticism among US allies and policymakers about whether capturing the island would achieve its broader objective. Even some Republicans are starting to publicly push back against any possible plans involving ground forces.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced Friday that ships traveling to or departing from ports belonging to countries it described as allies and supporters of the United States and Israel would not be allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz.
West said, “Domestically, they are beholden. They’re being held hostage to Islamic jihadism. Especially in the United Kingdom and especially in France.”
US President Donald Trump says he will further delay attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure by 10 days – until April 6 – as he continues to claim talks with Iran on a peace deal are going “very well”.
An unnamed senior Iranian leader told the Reuters news agency that officials in Tehran had received a US peace proposal, which the official described as “one-sided and unfair”.
President Donald Trump is “prepared to unleash hell” if Iran refuses to “come to a deal,” the White House warned Wednesday, cautioning that the regime “should not miscalculate again” after suffering devastating battlefield losses, as U.S. forces — including Marines and elements of the 82nd Airborne Division — deploy to the Middle East to support combat operations against Iran.
Lebanon’s PM warns Israeli actions and statements threaten Lebanese sovereignty and violate international law.
Australia
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under fire after Donald Trump singled out Australia over its lack of involvement in the protection of the Strait of Hormuz.
Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson said the Prime Minister must stand up and explain how Australia had been criticised by the president twice in a month.
“The US is our strongest defence ally, and so this is pretty grim news overnight from the United States,” Ms Henderson told Sky News Australia.
“This is just a pretty dire situation, and the Prime Minister, frankly, has got a lot of explaining to do.”
The New York Times just said: “Extreme versions of Shariah are a problem in some countries, including Afghanistan and Iran, but they are not a threat in the United States. American Muslims are not attempting to impose Shariah principles on others.” No doubt it would say the same for Germany as well.
“Radical Islamist: ‘The country belongs to the Muslims – you can’t do anything about it!,’” translated from “Radikaler Islamist: „Land gehört den Muslimen – dagegen könnt ihr nichts tun!“,” Unzensuriert, March 21, 2026 (thanks to Medforth):
Headscarf, Ramadan, and Sharia law. Is Islam increasingly imposing its values on us? ServusTV explored this question yesterday, Friday, on the program “Talk im Hangar-7,” airing a video of a radical Muslim who offered the answer: “Germany belongs to us Muslims.”
“You lost your cultural heritage long ago.”
The bearded man, who posed in front of a mosque for his video recording, said:
“We will spread because we are having more children, and one day all of Germany will be full of mosques, full of houses of worship. And against that – ask yourselves – you can’t do anything. You lost your cultural heritage long ago.” There is no Germany anymore. Germany belongs to the Muslims, the Turks, and the Arabs. Continue reading ‘Germany belongs to us Muslims…’
CNN Just Admitted the Real Reason Iran’s Mullahs Are Scared to Escalate
Even CNN can’t hide the truth anymore.
In a rare moment of clarity on mainstream television, Bloomberg Editor-at-Large Bobby Ghosh told Anderson Cooper exactly why Iran’s regime is desperate to avoid real war with the United States.
“They’re fighting for their existence,” Ghosh said. “They know that if they lose this war, their biggest problem will not be American bombs from the air. Their biggest problem will be their own citizens, who will be hanging them from lampposts in Tehran.”
He continued: “They’ve done so much damage to their own country and their own people for so long that there’s a lot of resentment built up there. They can’t afford to show any weakness.”
That’s it. The mullahs aren’t holding back out of strength or clever strategy.
They’re terrified of their own people. After decades of brutal repression, stolen elections, crushed protests, and economic ruin, the Iranian street is a powder keg.
One major defeat and the regime knows the payback will be swift and final.
This is the dirty little secret the foreign policy blob never wants to say out loud: the greatest threat to the ayatollahs isn’t America. It’s the Iranian people finally rising up and settling scores.
The regime has spent years building a police state precisely to prevent exactly that outcome. Now even CNN is forced to admit the obvious: weakness invites the noose.
The mullahs aren’t strategic masterminds. They’re cornered thugs who know their own citizens hate them more than we ever could. And that fear is the only thing keeping them from going all-in.
Hundreds have been arrested as Iran cracks down on ‘traitors’ following killing of Larijani, Soleimani.
An Iranian woman walks across posters depicting images of US President Donald Trump (L) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as she takes part in the al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day rally, a commemoration in support of the Palestinian people, on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, in Tehran on March 13, 2026 [AFP]
Iranian authorities have announced hundreds more arrests across the country, as well as operations to counter what they describe as “traitors” aligned with the interests of the United States and Israel.
The Ministry of Intelligence said in a statement that 111 “pro-monarchy cells” in 26 of Iran’s 31 provinces were stopped overnight into Wednesday from launching acts opposing the country’s theocratic establishment that toppled a US-backed monarchy in a 1979 Islamic revolution.
Iranians have for millennia celebrated the eve of the last Wednesday of the year with a fire festival called Chaharshanbe Suri, which welcomes Nowruz, the Persian New Year. But authorities urged pro-establishment backers this year to take to the streets and retain control while security forces arrest any dissidents, amid the US-Israel war on Iran.
The ministry claimed that a number of weapons were also discovered from arrested individuals, and renewed its call on the public to report any suspicious activity.
As Iran imposes a total internet shutdown on more than 92 million people for a third week, the ministry said 21 people were arrested specifically for sending videos to “terrorist” media outlets outside the country. It said two shipments containing 350 Starlink satellite internet terminals were confiscated while being smuggled into Iran.
The state-run Fars news agency said some of the dozens arrested in the city of Karaj near Tehran had “burned images of and insulted the martyred supreme leader”, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the start of the war on February 28. Khamenei’s son Mojtaba Khamenei has since been picked as Iran’s new supreme leader.
No wonder Mohammedans rule what was once great Britain.
Their idiot king never once visited Israel, but he loves cosplaying as an Arab sheik, oblivious to how ridiculous he looks in their costumes….
The Anglican Church went from Dick to Dyke in a New York minute, and the king, who holds the title “Defender of the Faith”, declared that he wants to be known as the “defender of faiths…”, which is just idiotic, knowing that islam doesn’t tolerate ‘the other’.

“WE DID PRAYERS TO ALLAH YESTERDAY” – One 7 year old girl told her Father
In a development raising red flags across the Atlantic, Britain’s Labour government has appointed the UK’s first “anti-Muslim hostility tsar” and adopted a new definition of anti-Muslim hostility — reframed from “Islamophobia” — as part of its £4 million social cohesion strategy.
The definition describes such hostility as “a type of racism” targeting “expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness,” including prejudicial stereotyping that could incite hatred.
Officials claim it addresses record-high anti-Muslim hate crimes while protecting free speech. Critics, however, see it as a potential censorship tool that could limit scrutiny of Islamic extremism, grooming gangs, or integration challenges.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US is sending messages through different mediators, which “does not mean negotiations”, while a diplomatic source saidTehran sees a 15-point US plan as “extremely maximalist and unreasonable”.
The White House has delivered a sharp message to Iran, saying President Donald Trump prefers a peaceful path, but is prepared to “hit harder than they have ever been hit before” if necessary.
The people don’t matter, the regime clings to power at any cost….
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US is sending messages through different mediators, which “does not mean negotiations”, while a diplomatic source saidTehran sees a 15-point US plan as “extremely maximalist and unreasonable”.
The White House has delivered a sharp message to Iran, saying President Donald Trump prefers a peaceful path, but is prepared to “hit harder than they have ever been hit before” if necessary.
The Pentagon is expected to order roughly 3,000 troops from the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East “in the coming hours,” according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Iranian media is reporting loud explosions in central and western Tehran as well as in Isfahan.
Loud explosions were reported by Iranian state-affiliated media and eyewitnesses across Tehran and Isfahan on March 24–25, 2026, as part of continued strikes targeting military, intelligence, and industrial sites. Blasts struck central and western Tehran, including near the Supreme Leader’s office and Parchin, while Isfahan and other cities experienced multiple, severe explosions.
The spokesturd of Iran’s top military command says country’s armed forces will fight “until complete victory”.
The comments by Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi of the Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, carried by state television, said: “Iran’s powerful armed forces are proud, victorious and steadfast in defending Iran’s integrity, and this path will continue until complete victory”.
The general did not say what “complete victory” would look like, but it appeared likely Iran’s military was trying to warn against offering concessions in any possible negotiations with the US.
The New York Times’ warning about “Islamophobia” relies on its readers’ ignorance of facts that it likely didn’t report about, or report about fully and accurately. The Times is all about constructing a narrative to support leftist political causes, not reporting the news. So it downplays and misrepresents jihad attacks, ignores Muslim declarations of imminent takeover, remains willfully ignorant about the Sharia imperative to conquer and subjugate non-Muslims, and then presents concern about Islam and Sharia as irrational racism, bigotry and “Islamophobia.” Well, sure, that’s what it is, once you’ve eliminated all the facts.

An oil supertanker hauling two-million barrels of Iraq’s crude got through the Strait of Hormuz, the first vessel observed moving Baghdad’s barrels through the the vital waterway – according to Bloomberg – since it all but closed to commercial shipping because of the Iran war.

The Omega Trader, managed by Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd, signaled over the past few days that it reached Mumbai. Its prior signal before reaching the Indian port city had been from inside the Persian Gulf more than ten days ago, suggesting the tanker had shut off its tracking beacon while making the transit.

US President Donald Trump announced that discussions are ongoing with Iran to “determine whether a broader agreement can be reached”, saying that “this time, Iran means business; they want to settle. They want peace”.
Tehran denied that talks with the US are taking place, with Iran’s parliamentary speaker saying such claims are “fake news” and being “used to manipulate financial and oil markets”.
