War with Iran was near universally predicted to usher in WWIII 10k US casualties in 1st months. Houthis blocking Suez, Iran blocking Straits. Hez + Hamas tying down Israel on 2 fronts. China & Russia gobbling territories w/ US pinned down NONE of that has happened

@AstorAaron @varadmehta Yes, Iran could destroy 50% or more of the oil infrastructure in the Middle East if it wanted to. Of course it would be hurting itself economically by causing chaos, but it becomes a rational strategy for the regime if it feels it has nothing to lose.

@varadmehta My concern is that the detritus of the Islamic Republic carries on by launching attacks on oil/gas infrastructure - to signal to each other that they are still in the fight - and enough to be a real pain to world markets. They're clearly not out of drones.

"If the United States can hold firm for the next few weeks, it can fully degrade Iran's war-making apparatus." And, thereby, seize control of the Strait of Hormuz. Which at this point is what it's all about. The only way out is through.

"If the United States can hold firm for the next few weeks, it can fully degrade Iran’s war-making apparatus. This would usher in a multiyear interval of calm of the kind that neither sanctions nor diplomacy has been able to produce in..four decades." nytimes.com/2026/03/19/opi…

This is the most troublesome sign I've seen for Trump & the GOP. Trump's now a record low 41 pts underwater on the cost of living per Yahoo/YouGov. He's 60 pts underwater on the issue with indies!! Wave adios to the House & maybe Senate cause you can't win with these numbers.

I talked to two Israeli sources on why Iranian launches continue to increase, despite US-Israeli claims that they have destroyed almost all of the launchers. Here is what they said: 1) The 90–95% drop in volume claimed by CENTCOM earlier in the month was probably a temporary lull as Iran repositioned its remaining launchers into hardened sites. Independent satellite analysis suggests that a significant portion of the "80% destruction" claimed by the IDF actually hit high-fidelity decoys. 2) Despite fewer launchers, the lethality per strike has increased. Iran's shift to cluster warheads has allowed a single missile to impact multiple locations simultaneously, compensating for the lower volume of launches 3) Iran has successfully set up mobile, underground units able to fire at steady rates. Iran used that quiet period to move their remaining ~100-120 heavy launchers into "Super-Hardened" facilities 4) Iran is utilizing its Zolfaqar and Dezful road-mobile launchers. These units move from hardened tunnels to pre-surveyed launch spots, fire, and return underground in under 10 minutes, often before coalition drones can re-task for a strike. 5) Because these launching units are decentralized, it is very hard for US and Israeli intelligence to get info on them. Israel and the United States do not have an answer to this problem. That is why they are trying escalation on energy sources instead. But that is backfiring.

@wallyrashid Iran essentially forced its entire community of 125,000 Jews to leave for the US and Israel. They have particular expertise in how evil the regime is.

A messy jobs report for Feb with employment +49k, but full time -31k, hrs wkd down & unemployment +0.2% to 4.3% as participation rate rose to 66.9%. ABS noted less people moving into emp v recent Febs. RBA would probably say jobs mkt is still tight but its ancient history anyway

WSJ: Arab governments were furious about Israel’s attack and the U.S. failure to head it off, officials said. They had aggressively lobbied the Trump administration to stop U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and now feel a target has been put on their backs, they said… America’s Arab allies are now fuming that they don’t seem to have any influence with the Trump administration despite heavy investments of time and money.

@kapoano @AstorAaron The drone attacks are more effective and apparently the drones are easier to make underground. And Russia and possibly China are providing help, the extent to which isn’t fully known.

Mike De Luca & Pam Abdy had a great #Oscar night, but will their auteur-friendly approach survive WB's sale to Paramount? One insider says David Ellison wouldn't back anything that would 'lose $100 million out of the gate' (a reference to "One Battle") variety.com/2026/film/awar…
