The sheer irony of Hegseth simultaneously asking for a $1.5 trillion military budget and criticizing Iran for "investing in missiles instead of investing in their people" x.com/Acyn/status/20… Heck in *that very same briefing* (!) Hegseth also defended asking for an additional $200 billion for the Iran war, because "it takes money to kill bad guys" (youtube.com/watch?v=3yQz4f…) 🙄

@ianbremmer The US can open Hormuz next week by simply evacuating all US bases in the Middle East, ending all military and economic aid to Israel, and lifting sanctions on Iran. The entire world wins except Israel's land thieving regime.

The moment Israel targeted British journalist Steve Sweeney in southern Lebanon.

A good government would take action now. Ask people to work from home. Make public transport free. Subsidise people who can buy commuter e-bikes and EVs. Cancel the ridiculous LNG import terminal idea. Invest in wind and solar expansion. Save fuel now and begin the shift AWAY from the oil & gas dependency. #nzpol

French journalist Marine Vlahovic was found dead in her home in Marseille while working on a documentary covering Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 HOLY SHIT: Joe Kent just revealed the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him: “The last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this Earth was in June, in the West Wing. He looked me in the eye and he said: 'Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.' And then he’s suddenly publicly assassinated and we’re not allowed to ask any questions about that? The investigation that I was a part of [with] the National Counterterrorism Center, we were stopped from continuing to investigate. But there was still a lot for us to look into that I can’t really get into. We know, because of the text messages that have been made public, that Charlie was under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.”

War of choice waged by Israel & US on #Iran is spiraling out of control. The world economy has been upended, threatening impoverishment & hunger for many as higher energy costs flow through. Many lives are being lost. Lebanon too is suffering. Stop it now! theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

So let me get this straight: Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz is ,unfair’ but blocking oil shipments to Cuba in order to collapse their whole country is what? Fair?

Iran has been bombing perhaps 10 countries for over two weeks, everyday, firing thousands of missiles and drones under heavy attacks, aiming for targets hundreds and thousands of kilometers away - Didn't hit one school.

It's now unarguable that the war on Iran is one of the most blatant crimes of aggression in history. You now have not 1 but 2 external participants of the US-Iran talks (Oman’s foreign minister and the UK's National Security Advisor) who confirm that the US and Israel attacked despite Iran effectively meeting US conditions for a deal - ensuring it could never build a nuclear weapon, permanently. As per The Guardian article (theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…), Jonathan Powell "believed the path remained open to a negotiated solution to the long-running issue of how Iran could reassure the US that it was not seeking a nuclear weapon," and "UK officials [...] were impressed that Iran was prepared for the deal to be permanent." Concretely, this means the war wasn't a failure of diplomacy but a deliberate destruction of it. And it also means that the US and Israel have irresponsibly plunged the entire world in an unprecedented energy crisis, affecting the livelihoods of billions of people worldwide, when it was completely avoidable. It's beyond me how you can look at this and not conclude that the real threat all along wasn't Iran but the US-Israeli axis - they're the only parties at the table who wanted war and are making every person on the planet pay the price for it. Extraordinarily, even the UK National Security Advisor is now basically saying this.

Today; Israel has blown up nearly all bridges into Southern Lebanon — the only points of access for those unable to evacuate. Israel is bombing residential buildings in central Beirut. Israel has blown up gas fields in Iran causing an ecological disaster. Evil. Truly evil.

Joe Kent didn’t just resign. He shattered the neocon narrative. From the inside, he said it plainly: Iran posed no imminent threat. That matches what I saw firsthand: they wanted to avoid war. Kent saw the truth and walked away. Now watch the establishment try to smear him and bury what he exposed. Be smarter — join me on Patreon patreon.com/cw/RickSanchez… You are invited!

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

Israel destroyed a very large residential building full of people in Beirut a few minutes ago. War crime

Gaza. Venezuela. Lebanon. Iran. Cuba on deck. Israel and the US are terrorizing the world with impunity. The deadly duo must be stopped.

Vale Neville Peat, what an absolute good bugger, who did so much good stuff, often for #Otago Go well mate, I enjoyed your company thespinoff.co.nz/books/05-03-20…

A former spouse criticising Chris Hipkins years after their divorce is one thing. Doing it in an election year while working for an opposition party is quite another. Voters want leadership — not commentary on someone’s marriage.

Why is Israel’s completely illegal invasion of Lebanon entirely absent from Western media? Why has Israel not been booted out of the UN?

Breaking: Sweden says Israel should be isolated and expelled from international institutions
