Thousands of Afghan families are fleeing Iran as the situation escalates, returning to #Afghanistan with almost nothing. Immediate support is critical to help them rebuild their lives.

Why is #Iran firing fewer ballistic missiles since the start of the war? Two main reasons: - US and Israel have degraded Iran’s missile capabilities - Iran is conserving its remaining arsenal and becoming more selective in what it targets. rferl.org/a/iran-ballist…

The IDF took what appears to be unprecedented action against the battalion involved in my team's assault & detention. In many ways, that's due to our position as US journalists. In too many cases involving Palestinian journalists & civilians, we've seen a lack of accountability.

NEW: On the first day of the war with Iran, the United States used a new ballistic missile. It was untested in combat. Our analysis shows it struck a sports hall, an elementary school, and residential areas — killing at least 21 people, including children. w/ @johnismay

Two weeks ago, the United States denounced Iran for using cluster bombs against Israel, rightly calling them "an inherently indiscriminate type of munition." Now it appears that the US or Israel is using American cluster bombs against Iran. nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

💢 BREAKING: Coordinated strikes have hit all three of Iran’s largest steel plants simultaneously – Mobarakeh, Esfahan, and Khuzestan – the backbone of the country’s non-oil economy. Together they produce roughly 70% of Iran’s steel output. Iron and steel is Iran’s second-largest export category at $6.48 billion, its primary hard-currency lifeline outside of oil. Mobarakeh makes the flat steel used in cars and pipelines. Esfahan produces structural beams and railway rails. Khuzestan supplies the raw slabs that feed factories nationwide. Steel became Iran’s top non-oil export precisely as a sanction hedge as it is cheap to produce using local ore and natural gas, and a critical source of foreign currency when oil revenues were blocked. Hitting all three at once targets critical industrial capacity and the economic architecture Iran spent decades building to survive Western pressure.

Reports from Iran suggest that all three of Iran's largest steel production plants were struck in a coordinated targeted strikes. This could substantially affect the national steel industry and manufacturing

As the war approaches its one-month mark, ordinary Iranians describe sleepless nights, constant fear, and a country being destroyed. Some want it to end. Others are holding out for victory. Nearly all are exhausted. rferl.org/a/iran-toll-wa…

The West seems to have forgotten the many Afghans who stood up to the Taliban. Rather than giving them haven, they are being abandoned to their fate. trib.al/ypM70iX
