The Iran war began at a particularly inauspicious time for Israel's image in the US. And Trump and his team have done Israel no favors with how they've talked about Israel's role. cnn.com/2026/03/19/pol…

"The cost of replacing the first four days' worth of munitions would be $20bn-26bn. The problem, however, is more to do with scarcity than cost. America is thought to have used more than 300 Tomahawk cruise missiles in the opening days of the war, but the Pentagon had planned to buy just 57 new ones in the current fiscal year. There have been no deliveries of THAAD interceptors since 2023 and the Pentagon has not placed any new orders this year. A puny 39 interceptors are slated for delivery in 2027—six years after they were ordered." economist.com/briefing/2026/…

Thomas Massie's new ad opens with a photo of him and Trump (happier days!) and hits Trump-endorsed opponent Ed Gallrein for being a "Trump traitor" — recognition that Massie can't rely on his unique brand alone and has to muddy the waters on his feud with Trump.

SASC Chairman Roger Wicker told me he doesn’t expect to have hearing on war until after two-week Easter recess. “I think it's probably not going to fit” before the end of next week, contending there would get a “better response” after the break. “We will have a public hearing.”

Rep. Kevin Kiley (Calif.) recently went from Republican to Republican-caucusing independent. He now tells @stephenasmith that he could caucus with Democrats next Congress if he's reelected. youtube.com/watch?v=mzsr7U…

Hegseth seems to confirm that the reported $200 billion Iran war supplemental request (reported by @JStein_WaPo and co) is real. He says that number "could move."

MAGA might be on-board with the Iran war, but not all of Trump's base is. We just got a new poll, from Yahoo/YouGov: -24% of 2024 Trump voters disapprove of Trump on Iran -17% of Republicans disapprove And "strong" approval is under 50% for both groups.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: "The media here -- not all of it, but much of it -- wants you to think, just 19 days into this conflict, that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss or a forever war or a quagmire. Nothing could be further from the truth."

With Hormuz closed, Saudi Arabia rerouted oil via Yanbu on the Red Sea – its primary bypass route. Now Iran has struck there too, apparently halting loadings.
Timour Azhari@timourazhari

March 19 (Reuters) - The Saudi port of Yanbu, one of two major remaining export routes for Gulf Arab oil after Iran effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, has stopped oil loadings, two sources told Reuters on Thursday, after the Saudi defence ministry said it intercepted a ballistic missile over the city. The ministry said earlier that a drone crashed at the SAMREF refinery, with damage assessment underway.

Map of South Pars gas field, from AP. "The gas field under the Gulf is the world’s largest. It’s shared by Iran and Qatar, and is called South Pars on the Iranian side and the North Field on the Qatari side." apnews.com/article/iran-g…

NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters. Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
