Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand·
I don't think people realize just how extraordinary what we're witnessing with Iran is. I was arguing with a dear journalist friend of mine yesterday who was telling me that Iran was winning, yes, but only on the strategic level, not tactically. The type of thing a skinny kid getting stuffed in lockers in highschool tells himself to make himself feel better: "These people will BEG to work for me in ten years. Everyone knows jocks peak in highschool. They'll literally beg." 😏 I think that's precisely wrong, and that's what makes the Iran war different. As of now, Iran is in fact holding its own tactically too. Think about other U.S. wars of aggression these past few decades. Take Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Serbia, etc. (the list is unfortunately very long). The pattern was roughly always the same with an immense power differential between aggressor and victim. These wars were, by and large, imperial: the empire attempting to crush a much weaker people whose only realistic recourse was guerrilla resistance. And that is when they actually had the will to resist: some - like Libya - barely even bothered, just resigning themselves to their fate (despite being, at the time, the richest country in Africa). As spectators of these wars, if you had any moral sense, the dominant emotion was a kind of helpless disgust: you were watching a giant stomp through someone else's house. Sure, the U.S. actually lost many - if not most - of these wars, famously replacing the Taliban with the Taliban or being expelled with their tail between their legs from Vietnam, but the power differential was no less real for it. It's just that power doesn't always guarantee victory: sometimes the giant can't kill everyone, and eventually tires of trying. But the “victories” won this way were always pyrrhic at best: the people endured, yes, but what they were left with was a country in ashes that takes decades to rebuild. Meanwhile, in the grand scheme of things, the giant walked away with little more than a bruised ego. Iran is - remarkably - proving to be an entirely different beast: when others were merely surviving a giant, Iran appears to be able to compete with one. What just happened over the past 48 hours is the best illustration of this. You had the President of the United States issue a formal ultimatum: reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or we "obliterate" your power grid. Iran's response was essentially: we dare you, if you do this we'll make all your Gulf allies uninhabitable within a week. And, as we saw, Trump backed down: pretexting non-existent "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS" with Iran, he said his ultimatum no-longer applied (or, rather, became 5 days). Adding he now envisaged the Strait of Hormuz being “jointly controlled by me and the Ayatollah.” To the amusement of Iran’s diplomacy (x.com/IraninSA/statu…). That, folks, is a textbook tactical victory. It is, remarkably, Iran demonstrating in this instance that it had escalation dominance over the United States of America. That is, the ability to credibly threaten consequences so severe that the US - for perhaps the first time since the Cold War - found it preferable to stand down. That's no skinny kid being locked in a locker dreaming of revenge fantasies. That's the kid grabbing the bully's wrist mid-shove and watching his face change. And it's not the only tactical victory in this war so far. Take the episode over the Israeli attack on Iran's South Pars gas facility. Iran had warned that if that happened U.S. allies in the region - including Israel - would face a symmetrical response. And they delivered: famously devastating Qatar's Ras Laffan facility - which produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply - and leading, according to Qatar themselves, to a $20 billion loss of annual revenue for the next 5 years (oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-…). Not only that but they also managed to hit Israel's Haifa refinery (aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/19…), one of the country's most strategic and protected sites. The result was Trump distancing himself from the South Pars attack, saying that Israel had "violently lashed out" unilaterally and that "NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field." Israel then said it wouldn't strike Iran energy sites anymore (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…). From where I stand, that's another tactical victory. It is, at least, Iran demonstrating that is can fight back **symmetrically** against the U.S. and its allies. Not through asymmetric resistance with IEDs hidden in the roadside or traps hidden in the jungle, but eye for eye, and against some of the most heavily protected sites on the U.S.'s side. That's qualitatively different from any other adversaries the U.S. has directly fought in recent wars. There's plenty more, such as the pretty relevant fact that Iran has gained control of the single most strategic energy chokepoint on earth and the U.S. is finding it impossible to break that control. To the point where Trump has been reduced to publicly begging China - of all countries - for help, which given Trump's ego mustn't have been easy to do. Only to be told no. By China. And by everyone else he asked. This is the topic of my latest article: how this is, in fact, the first genuine "multipolar war." First, in the narrow sense: because Iran is revealing itself to be a genuine pole of power - not a superpower, but an actor that cannot be submitted, which is all multipolarity is. And second, because the war itself is accelerating multipolarity everywhere else: the U.S. has never been more isolated, never looked weaker and its security guarantees have never been more hollow. In my article I lay out the full scoreboard - military, economic, political - and explain why this war has already changed the world, regardless of how it ends.

Malaysia has been urged to impose restrictions on the export of rare earth materials processed by Lynas Rare Earths after the company signed a four-year supply agreement with the US defence department. Boycott Divestment & Sanctions told Malaysiakini that the deal contradicts Malaysia's non-aligned foreign policy and that the minerals should not be exported to countries using them for illegal military purposes. malaysiakini.com/news/770642 🧵1

Insane framing. He was anally gang-raped. He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used. There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it. Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera). He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well. After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera. These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists. They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested. And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial. This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process. The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”. And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it. This is just what their society does. They torture Palestinians.

Masa isu Jakel dulu, terus terang aku pun lebih berpihak pada tuan tanah. Kemudian bila isu rumah ibadat ni timbul kembali pada penghujung 2025, aku pun sokong pembasmian rumah ibadat yang dibina tanpa dokumen sah ini. Fakta yang dibentangkan gerakan anti-rumah ibadat tak sah ni boleh dikatakan well prepared oleh mereka yang ada akses pada data, geran + dokumen perundangan. Tapi dari hari ke hari, minggu ke minggu, bulan ke bulan, boleh nampak macam mana fokus gerakan ni makin menyimpang. Dari menggariskan fakta + dokumen, mereka mula main sentimen 3R. Dari mempersoalkan direct terhadap rumah rumah ibadat spesifik, mereka mula guna ad hominem, maki hamun bagai. Kemudian ada pula ‘amplifiers’ yang api apikan keadaan dengan share gambar-video lama, termasuk sengketa luar negara seolah olah ia sedang atau mampu berlaku di Malaysia. Tu belum masuk part Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB) lagi. Macam tetiba minions gerakan ni dapat arahan serang posting tertentu, mereka akan serang berjemaah dalam waktu yang serupa. Contoh posting keluar jam 10.31pm, 15 akaun masuk serang berjemaah serentak antara 12.16am-12.20am. Kemudian senyap kejap. Tetiba antara 2.31am ke 2.35am ada 20 akaun lagi masuk menyerang serentak. Nasihat aku, kalau betul ikhlas nak basmi rumah ibadat tak sah ni, perbetulkan fokus. Control your minions. Work with the authorities. Ikut undang undang bukan guna vigilantism. Paling penting, berhenti main sentimen 3R. Kita tengok lepas raya ni macam mana perkembangan gerakan ni. Khalas

Pengerusi Bersih Faisal Aziz berkata kumpulan reformasi pilihan raya itu percaya RCI sangat penting untuk menangani semua isu yang membelenggu SPRM. “Pertama kerajaan perlu mengesahkan perkara ini kerana buat masa ini ia masih berlegar sebagai khabar angin. “Kedua, Bersih kekal dengan pendirian untuk RCI dilaksanakan bagi menjawab semua persoalan berkaitan isu dalam SPRM. “SPRM bukan semata tentang Azam Baki tetapi struktur suruhanjaya itu sendiri yang perlu bersih dan telus dari sebarang tuduhan ‘Mafia Korporat’ atau apa-apa tuduhan penyelewengan dan salah guna kuasa,” katanya dalam kenyataan kepada Malaysiakini. malaysiakini.com/news/769914

Kenyataan Media BERSIH 5 Mac 2026 SPRM Tidak Boleh Jadi Senjata Politik, Azam Baki Perlu Letak Jawatan Segera Gabungan Pilihan Raya Bersih dan Adil (BERSIH) mengecam halatuju Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM), yang dilihat semakin menyimpang daripada mandat asalnya untuk penguatkuasaan mencegah serta melawan rasuah, namun sebaliknya menjadi alat intimidasi politik melalui institusi ini. “Pemburuan” awam terbaru terhadap James Chai, seorang warganegara biasa dan bekas pegawai kepada bekas Menteri Ekonomi Rafizi Ramli, menandakan satu tahap baharu yang membimbangkan. Dengan menyiarkan “notis mengesan” yang turut memaparkan alamat rumah keluarganya - di mana ibu bapanya yang sudah lanjut usia menetap - walaupun James Chai menegaskan beliau tidak pernah dihubungi secara langsung untuk sebarang siasatan, SPRM telah terlibat dalam tindakan memalukan secara sengaja serta membina persepsi telah bersalah. Ini bukanlah prosedur siasatan yang lazim dan wajar, dan hanya boleh disifatkan sebagai pendedahan (doxxing) institusi yang bertujuan mencemarkan reputasi. BERSIH mengambil maklum dengan kebimbangan bahawa peningkatan tindak balas ini berlaku ketika ramai pihak termasuk YB Rafizi Ramli terus lantang memperjuangkan reformasi institusi dan baru-baru ini berucap di perhimpunan #TangkapAzamBaki yang dianjurkan oleh masyarakat sivil dan aktivis mahasiswa. Masa tindakan ini diambil menimbulkan persepsi wujudnya pola tindakan balas, di mana SPRM dipersenjatakan terhadap mereka yang menuntut kebertanggungjawaban institusi penguatkuasaan antikorupsi ini. Mempergunakan Suruhanjaya tersebut untuk menyasarkan pegawai politik atas alasan “kepentingan negara” sambil mengabaikan kerosakan di peringkat tertinggi suruhanjaya itu sendiri adalah satu pengkhianatan terhadap semangat reformasi. Keyakinan awam terhadap SPRM telah merosot ke tahap rendah susulan pendedahan terkini oleh Bloomberg mengenai dakwaan kaitan “mafia korporat” dalam agensi tersebut serta bayangan berpanjangan berhubung pegangan saham Ketua Pesuruhjayanya, Azam Baki.| Berbanding menangani dakwaan serius ini secara telus, pihak berkuasa memilih untuk: 1. Mengganggu wartawan dengan menghantar polis ke pejabat tempatan Bloomberg untuk menjejaki wartawan penyiasat; 2. Membingkaikan kewartawanan penyiasatan yang sah sebagai satu konspirasi asing, iaitu taktik yang mengingatkan kepada pendekatan era Najib Razak semasa skandal 1MDB, apabila tindakan keras diambil terhadap media dan aktivis dengan alasan “aktiviti memudaratkan demokrasi berparlimen” demi kelangsungan politik susulan laporan The Wall Street Journal mengenai 1MDB. BERSIH melihat ironi besar apabila Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim, yang suatu ketika dahulu mendapat sokongan teguh media antarabangsa dan pertubuhan hak asasi manusia ketika berdepan penganiayaan politik, kini mengetuai pentadbiran yang melabel kewartawanan penyiasatan sah oleh media antarabangsa sebagai “campur tangan”. Menolak laporan rasuah sebagai konspirasi untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan adalah satu kaedah memperdaya rakyat Malaysia daripada melihat isu sebenar. Perdana Menteri perlu beringat bahawa beliau sendiri pada satu masa pernah menjadi mangsa undang-undang dan institusi berat sebelah yang kini dibiarkan berterusan. Sehubungan kegagalan sistemik ini, BERSIH sekali lagi mengulangi tuntutan berikut: 1. Peletakan Jawatan Segera Azam Baki: Kehadiran beliau sebagai Ketua Pesuruhjaya tidak lagi boleh dipertahankan dan terus menjejaskan reputasi SPRM. 2. Reformasi segera SPRM: Reformasi Proses pelantikan Ketua Pesuruhjaya SPRM mesti diteliti oleh Jawatankuasa Pilihan Parlimen (JKP) bagi memastikan pengawasan dwi-partisan dan berintegriti. 3. Hentikan gangguan terhadap James Chai dan wartawan: Hentikan penggunaan “Notis Mengesan” sebagai alat memalukan secara terbuka dan hentikan intimidasi terhadap media. Modus operandi SPRM seolah-olah sesuatu pihak itu telah bersalah sebelum ada siasatan yang telus. 4. Tubuhkan segera satu panel yang bebas atau Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) bagi menyiasat semua tuduhan yang tertunggak termasuk tuduhan ''mafia korporat'' di dalam SPRM. Anwar Ibrahim dan Kerajaan Madani tidak boleh mendakwa memerangi rasuah sambil melindungi ketua penguatkuasanya daripada penelitian yang sama yang dikenakan secara terpilih terhadap pihak lain. Sehingga kini Kerajaan Madani tidak menunjukkan kepimpinan yang berkesan untuk menyiasat Azam Baki melalui satu badan yang bebas daripada campur tangan Eksekutif.

Peter Girnus 🦅@gothburz·
I am a diplomatic aide in the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My job is logistics. When two countries that cannot speak to each other need to speak to each other, I book the rooms. I prepare the briefing materials. I make sure the water glasses are the right distance apart. You would be surprised how much of diplomacy is water glasses. Too close and it feels informal. Too far and it feels like a tribunal. I have a chart. We had a very good month. Since January, Oman has been mediating indirect talks between the United States and Iran on Iran's nuclear program. The talks were held in Muscat and in Geneva. The Americans would sit in one room. The Iranians would sit in another room. I would walk between them. My Fitbit says I averaged fourteen thousand steps on negotiation days. The hallway between the two rooms at the Royal Opera House conference center is forty-seven meters. I walked it two hundred and twelve times in February. This is good for my cardiovascular health. It was less good for my knees. Both are in the service of peace. By mid-February, we had something. Iran agreed to zero stockpiling of enriched uranium. Not reduced stockpiling. Zero. They agreed to down-blend existing stockpiles to the lowest possible level. They agreed to convert them into irreversible fuel. They agreed to full IAEA verification with potential US inspector access. They agreed, in the Foreign Minister's phrase, to "never, ever" possess nuclear material for a bomb. I have worked in diplomacy for seven years. I have never seen a country agree to this many things this quickly. I made a spreadsheet of the concessions. It had fourteen rows. I color-coded it. Green for confirmed. Yellow for pending. By February 21 the spreadsheet was entirely green. I printed it. It is on my desk in Muscat. It is still green. That phrase took eleven days. "Never, ever." The Iranians initially offered "not seek to." The Americans wanted "will not under any circumstances." We landed on "never, ever" at 2:14 AM on a Tuesday in Muscat. I typed the final version myself. I used Times New Roman because Geneva prefers it. The document was fourteen pages. I was proud of every comma. Here is what they said, in the order they said it. February 24: "We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity." — The Foreign Minister, private briefing to Gulf Cooperation Council ambassadors. I prepared the slide deck. Slide 14 was the implementation timeline. Slide 15 was the signing ceremony logistics. I had reserved the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Room XX. It seats four hundred. We discussed pen brands for the signing. The Iranians preferred Montblanc. The Americans had no preference. I ordered twelve Montblanc Meisterstucks at six hundred and thirty dollars each. They arrive on Tuesday. February 27, 8:30 AM EST: "The deal is within our reach." — The Foreign Minister, CBS Face the Nation. He sat across from Margaret Brennan. He said broad political terms could be agreed "tomorrow" with ninety days for technical implementation in Vienna. He said, and I wrote this line for the briefing card he carried in his breast pocket: "If we just allow diplomacy the space it needs." He praised the American envoys by name. Steve Witkoff. Jared Kushner. He said both had been constructive. I watched from the Four Seasons Georgetown. The minibar had cashews. I ate the cashews. They were nineteen dollars. The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten. But it was a good morning and we were within our reach. February 27, 2:00 PM EST: Meeting with Vice President Vance, Washington. The Foreign Minister presented our progress. Zero stockpiling. Full verification. Irreversible conversion. "Never, ever." The Vice President used the word "encouraging." His aide took notes on an iPad. The aide did not make eye contact for the last nine minutes of the meeting. I noticed this. Noticing things is the only part of my job that is not water glasses. February 27, 4:00 PM EST: "Not happy with the pace." — President Trump, to reporters. Not happy with the pace. We had achieved zero stockpiling. Full IAEA verification. Irreversible fuel conversion. Inspector access. And the phrase "never, ever," which took eleven days and cost me two hundred and twelve trips down a forty-seven-meter hallway. Every American president since Carter has failed to get Iran to agree to this. Forty-five years. Not happy with the pace. February 27, 9:47 PM EST: The Foreign Minister's flight departs Dulles for Muscat. I am in the seat behind him. He is reviewing Slide 14 on his laptop. The implementation timeline. Vienna technical sessions. The signing ceremony. The pens. I fall asleep over the Atlantic. I dream about water glasses. February 28, 6:00 AM GST: I wake up to push notifications. February 28: "The United States has begun major combat operations in Iran." — President Trump. Operation Epic Fury. Coordinated airstrikes. The United States and Israel. Tehran. Isfahan. Qom. Karaj. Kermanshah. Nuclear facilities. IRGC bases. Sites near the Supreme Leader's office. Israel called their half Operation Roaring Lion. Someone in both governments spent time choosing these names. Epic Fury. Roaring Lion. I spent eleven days on "never, ever." They spent it on branding. The President said Iran had "rejected American calls to halt its nuclear weapons production." Rejected. Iran had agreed to zero stockpiling. Iran had agreed to full verification. Iran had agreed to "never, ever." Iran had agreed to everything in a fourteen-page document that I typed in Times New Roman. The President said they rejected it. I do not know which document the President was reading. I know which one I typed. February 28, 18:45 UTC: Iran internet connectivity: four percent. — NetBlocks, confirmed by Cloudflare. Ninety-six percent of a country went dark. You cannot negotiate with a country at four percent connectivity. You cannot negotiate with a country that is being struck. You cannot negotiate. This is not a political opinion. This is a logistics assessment. February 28: The governor of Minab reported forty girls killed at an elementary school. I do not have logistics for that. There is no slide for that. The water glass chart does not cover that. February 28: Lockheed Martin: up. Northrop Grumman: up. RTX: up. Dow futures: down six hundred and twenty-two points. Gold: five thousand two hundred and ninety-six dollars. An analyst at AInvest published a note titled "Iran Strikes: Tactical Plays." The note recommended positions in oil, defense stocks, and gold. The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten was nineteen dollars. The most expensive pen I have ever ordered was six hundred and thirty dollars. The math suggests I have been working in the wrong industry. Defense stocks do not require water glasses. Defense stocks do not require eleven days. Defense stocks require one morning. February 28: Israel closed its airspace and its schools. Iran launched retaliatory missiles toward US bases in the Gulf. The Supreme Leader promised a "crushing response." Israel's defense minister declared a permanent state of emergency. Everyone is using words I recognize in an order I do not. I recognize "permanent." I recognize "emergency." I do not recognize them next to each other. In diplomacy, nothing is permanent and everything is an emergency. In war it is the reverse. February 28: The Foreign Minister has not made a public statement. The briefing card is still in his breast pocket. It still says "within our reach."

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

never a fan of Rafizi. tapi yang dok cakap dia sakau RM1.1 bilion ni pun.... RM1.1 bilion tu jumlah bayaran yang akan dibuat Malaysia kepada ARM Holdings untuk Intellectual Property (IP) licenses dengan Compute Subsystems (CSS) untuk Malaysia design sendiri chip buatan Malaysia. ARM akan provide lesen, latih 10 ribu design engineers untuk litar bersepadu (IC), facilitate produk semikonduktor rekabentuk tempatan. RM1.1 bilion tu Malaysia akan bayar kepada ARM dalam tempoh 10 tahun, atau RM110 juta setahun. Takkan la ARM dapat RM1.1 bilion, dia nak bagi kickback dekat Rafizi RM1.1 bilion? 🤦🏻‍♂️
