TODAY: Hundreds rallied at the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, demanding an end to U.S. funding for Israel, with NYPD making dozens of arrests. As people across the U.S. file their taxes, protesters pointed to the more than $4 billion sent to Israel in 2026 alone. Protestors brought attention to Israel’s deadly bombing of Lebanon, the U.S.–Israel war on Iran, and the ongoing attacks on Palestinians. Palestinian, Jewish, Iranian, and Lebanese New Yorkers stood united with one message: Fund people, not bombs.

A strong marker from Iran. IRGC Spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaqari delivers a direct point to the Trump administration: if Iranian ports are threatened, no port in the Gulf will be safe. Washington's illegal piracy is met with a resolute defense of international waters.

🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin: "We will sell oil to whomever we choose. We do not need permission from anyone to sell Russia’s oil, and we are not under anyone’s control.” This message has been clearly sent to the White House.

🚨JUST IN: The leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats just said it on the record. “Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster.” He’s also calling on Keir Starmer to cancel the King’s state visit to Washington before it’s too late.

The Pentagon is completely exposed. Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed the Iranian Navy was destroyed, but expert Scott Ritter confirms they just ordered two US destroyers to turn around or be sunk. Iran absolutely controls the Strait of Hormuz. Total humiliation.

🇨🇳🇮🇷 China's Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun has fired a direct warning at Washington as the US naval blockade of Iranian ports went into effect: "We are commited for peace & stability in the world. We are monitoring the situation in the middle east. Our ships are moving in and out of the waters of Strait of Hormuz. We have trade & energy agreements with Iran. We will respect & honor them and expect others to not meddle in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open for us." The strait supplies nearly 40% of China's oil and 30% of its LNG needs. US intelligence has stated China is preparing MANPAD shipments to Iran, China has denied these reports. Trump has threatened 50% tariffs on Beijing if it supplies weapons to Tehran

America needs rare earth magnets. Noveon makes them in Texas at commercial scale, providing a secure domestic supply for critical U.S. industries and mission needs.

Pakistan opens new Iran transit corridor to Central Asia with first beef shipment to Uzbekistan —— Pakistan has launched a new overland trade route linking South Asia to Central Asia, sending its first consignment of frozen beef from Karachi to Uzbekistan via Iran under a sealed transport system designed for temperature-sensitive exports. According to officials, the shipment travelled through the Karachi before crossing into Iran via the Taftan–Mirjaveh border crossing and the Gabd–Rimdan border crossing, continuing onward toward Uzbekistan. The cargo was transported in sealed TIR trucks, part of an international transit system aimed at reducing delays and costs for perishable goods. Authorities in Pakistan described the move as a breakthrough for regional connectivity, building on prior transit agreements with Iran and expanding access to Central Asian markets through shorter and more efficient land routes.

🇪🇸 Spain Becomes First Western Nation to Reopen Embassy in Tehran Spain formally reopened its embassy in Tehran on Monday, becoming the first Western country to restore diplomatic presence in Iran since the ceasefire. Ambassador Antonio Sánchez-Benedito announced: “I have reopened today the Spanish Embassy in Tehran in order to join in efforts for peace from every possible quarter.” The embassy closed March 7 when staff evacuated amid U.S.-Israeli airstrikes. Spain has been the most vocal NATO member against the conflict, barring U.S. forces from its bases and airspace.

Netanyahu is arguably the only criminal in human history who has managed to stay out of prison by openly committing infinitely more heinous crimes.

The Pope removed his shoes in a mosque and people are outraged? That’s not compromise. That’s basic respect. If you enter someone’s home or sacred space, you honor their customs. We expect it in our churches. Why pretend not to understand it anywhere else?

UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher tells @SkyYaldaHakim "any targeting of health workers is a breach of international law" and that people in Lebanon live in a "climate of constant fear". 🌍 trib.al/zff6Z7W

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️– The Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its strike group spotted 200 to 300 kilometers off the coast of Iran, which is completely within the range of Iranian drones and cruise missiles...

The very definition of a Terrorist State

Can you imagine the faux outrage from @GBNEWS or @BBC if this was filmed in Tehran or Moscow? But no, this is @Keir_Starmer 's Britain and if you vote for @UKLabour again you are complicit.

Family and colleagues mourned Red Cross paramedic Hassan Badawi, who was killed by an Israeli drone attack in Beit Yahoun on Sunday while responding to an emergency call. He's one of 89 health workers killed since the start of Israel's deadly bombardment and invasion of Lebanon.

Hezbollah Leader Naim Qassem: They say to us: "If you hadn't confronted Israel, we wouldn't have paid these losses." If we hadn't confronted, we would have paid more and lost everything. Do you think that Israel is leaving us? It's the one that is attacking.
