Linda Bilmes, a Harvard expert on financing war, expects this Iran war to cost taxpayers more than $1 trillion. "Most of the costs will arrive later." By @NickKristof For a bit more than two weeks of this war, we could offer free college education to every American family earning less than $125,000 annually, at a cost of around $30 billion a year. If we reallocated this war spending to needs at home and abroad, Americans would have access to school from pre-K to college and would have health insurance, and large numbers of children worldwide would not starve to death — and we would still have billions of dollars left over.

When Obama sent Iran $400m + $1.3bn in interest in 2016 Trump called it "insane" and he and others spent a decade mocking the idea of "pallets of cash" even though it was Iran's own money, American prisoners were released, courts were likely to require the U.S. payment, and Iran had just agreed to significant and verified reductions and restrictions on its nuclear program for 15+ years. Now Trump is giving Iran up to ten times that amount of revenue--one of the most significant measures of sanctions relief provided to the Islamic Republic since its founding--in exchange for marginal and temporary relief from the big increase in oil prices his actions have caused, without any concessions from Tehran, and even as Iran continues to target the United States, its allies, and world oil supplies. No way to read as anything other than desperate recognition of the situation Trump's own actions have created and the lack of available alternatives for dealing with it.

🚨U.S. to allow Iran to get ~14 billion dollars (!!!) in oil revenue 🚨This is a huge financial concession to Iran by the U.S. 🚨It is the first time U.S. is buying Iranian oil since 1996 🚨It's all happening in the middle of a war against...Iran

Treausury’s general license on stranded Iranian oil even allows Americans to purchase it. “Transactions authorized by this general license include the importation into the United States of crude oil and petroleum products of Iranian origin…”

🗞️ Tyre largely emptied after Israeli threats of bombardment; Israel now razing homes in Naqoura The southern Lebanese city of Tyre (Sour), a major coastal hub about 80 km south of Beirut, has been largely emptied after Israeli threats of strikes on March 17, including nearby Palestinian refugee camps such as Rashidieh, Burj Shemali, and El Buss. UNRWA estimates about 25,000 people fled overnight toward Sidon, while roughly 32,000 residents remain in the broader Tyre area, including those unable to leave or displaced residents staying in shelters despite heavy bombardment. Israeli forces are also reported to be demolishing homes in the coastal border town of Naqoura, just north of the Israeli border, Courtney Bonneau reports from southern Lebanon.

Just 3 days ago Trump was awfully concerned about the “pallets of cash” sent to Iran a decade ago, but is now going to give them nearly 10x that amount in the middle of a war. Clown show doesn’t begin to describe it.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

Lebanese medics are adopting strategies as they know they are targets: — Not seeing family or friends so that if they are bombed, they don’t take their loved ones with them — Reducing team sizes — Sleeping in ambulances far away from each other so a single strike doesn’t kill them all

Israel deliberately targeting medical facilities in south Lebanon, say health workers. Medics and officials say there is systematic use of double-tap strikes in campaign to make the south uninhabitable. theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…?

WSJ: In February, several top Democratic aides were standing off the Senate floor whispering about a remark Schumer had made at a recent event for a Jewish group that then went viral online, according to people familiar with the incident. A clip and caption quoted Schumer saying one of his jobs as minority leader was to secure “all the aid that Israel needs.” The comment, the aides said, was the latest example of how Schumer was a liability for Democrats.

WSJ: Democratic Senators Warren, Smith and Murphy are part of a batch of senators dubbed “Fight Club” who are particularly incensed by Schumer’s approach to the midterms. This group of progressives believes that Schumer favors centrist candidates in some key races and is disregarding the enthusiasm a new crop of outsiders is stoking. The senators maintain a Fight Club chat on Signal where they have discussed how to counter Schumer’s preferred candidates, according to people familiar with the conversations.
