NEW | Special Report: The war in Iran is currently in a phase in which the military trajectory is relatively positive: the United States is steadily destroying Iran’s ability to use its most essential tool in the war — drone and missile attacks — which in turn underpin the entire Iranian strategy. Iran has still done some damage to US forces, and it is still firing drones and missiles, though the overall attack rate is slowly decreasing. These attacks still pale in comparison to the major attacks Iran sought to conduct in an existential war and have caused neither operationally significant damage nor widespread casualties. The US-Israeli combined force will need time to achieve its military objectives and prevent Iran from inflicting further political and economic pain upon the United States and its allies in the region, but the campaign remains incomplete, and it is too soon to forecast its outcome. Declaring it an operational failure is unquestionably premature.

Heartbreaking story. An Iranian football player broke down while explaining how the Islamic Republic threatened and punished her simply for being a woman athlete in Iran. Feminists teach women to use that signal when they're in danger. But when Iranian players flashed SOS signs after refusing to sing the regime's anthem in Australia, guess who rushed to help these women? Feminist icons or President @realDonaldTrump? Watch the story. Thanks @marthamaccallum for telling @Shiva_amini_11’s story.

The video has surfaced. Watch it carefully because it is the most important piece of footage to emerge from this war so far. CCTV captures the moment an Iranian drone arrives at Kuwait International Airport’s Terminal 1. Not nearby. Not overhead. At the terminal. The passenger terminal. The building with the check-in counters and the departure boards and the duty-free shops. The footage shows impact, smoke filling the concourse, workers scrambling, structural damage to the terminal building. Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority confirmed it: drone strike, injuries to multiple employees, material damage to the passenger terminal. KUNA state media published the confirmation. This is not contested. Now understand what this video proves and why it matters more than every missile Iran launched today. Missiles can be intercepted. Ballistic warheads trigger radar systems designed to detect them at altitude. Iran fired missiles at Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Jordan and the vast majority were caught by defense systems that cost billions of dollars to build and maintain. The intercept rate was extraordinary. The system worked. The drone got through. A Shahed-pattern suicide drone flies low, slow, and beneath the radar thresholds that track ballistic trajectories. It costs Iran approximately 50,000 dollars to manufacture. Kuwait’s air defense network, integrated with American Patriot batteries protecting Ali Al Salem Air Base 60 kilometers away, did not stop a 50,000 dollar drone from reaching the passenger terminal of the country’s only international airport. Not a military airfield. The civilian airport where yesterday families were boarding flights to London and Mumbai and Cairo. This is the footage that rewrites Gulf defense procurement for the next decade. Every country that just watched this video, every defense ministry in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait itself, now knows that the billion-dollar missile shields they purchased from Raytheon and Lockheed do not stop the weapon Iran builds for the price of a mid-range sedan. The entire Gulf air defense architecture was designed for a threat that flies high and fast. Iran sent a threat that flies low and slow and it reached the terminal building. The video from Kuwait International Airport is not a war update. It is a procurement crisis. It is the moment every Gulf military planner realized that the weapons they bought do not match the weapons Iran is using. Counter-drone systems, electronic warfare suites, layered low-altitude detection, these are capabilities the Gulf states do not have at the density required to protect civilian infrastructure across entire nations. Iran found the gap. One drone. One airport. One video. And tonight every defense contractor on earth is drafting the proposal to fill it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Iran just hit a civilian airport. Not a military base. Not an airfield. Kuwait International Airport. Terminal 1. The building where families check luggage and children walk to boarding gates. A drone struck the passenger terminal on February 28, 2026. Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority confirmed injuries to airport employees and material damage to the terminal. KUNA state media published it. This is not viral speculation. This is a government confirming that Iranian ordnance hit the building where civilians fly. There is a word for this in international law. It is not retaliation. It is not self-defense. It is a war crime. Iran's stated targets were US military installations. Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait hosts American forces. That base sits 60 kilometers from Kuwait International Airport. Iran hit the airport. Whether by intent or by incompetence does not matter. If by intent, Iran deliberately struck civilian aviation infrastructure in a country it is not at war with. If by incompetence, Iran launched weapons it cannot aim at targets it cannot distinguish from passenger terminals. Both explanations end in the same place: Iranian ordnance hit a building full of civilian workers in a sovereign nation that did not attack Iran. Count the countries Iran struck in a single morning. Bahrain. UAE. Qatar. Kuwait. Jordan. Missiles and drones fired at six sovereign nations simultaneously. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi. Explosions over Dubai's Palm Jumeirah. Both Dubai airports closed. Qatar's airspace shut. And now a passenger terminal in Kuwait with injured workers and structural damage. Iran did not retaliate against the United States. Iran attacked the Middle East. Every country hit today is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Every country hit today has mutual defense understandings. Every country hit today woke up this morning as a nation trying to stay neutral in someone else's war and went to bed tonight as a nation that absorbed Iranian weapons on its own soil. Saudi Arabia has already pledged all its capabilities. The UAE has a civilian dead. Kuwait has a damaged airport terminal. Qatar grounded its own national airline. The coalition that America could not build with a decade of diplomacy, Iran assembled in twelve hours by attacking everyone. And the footage from Kuwait International Airport, smoke inside a passenger terminal, will do more to end Iran's remaining diplomatic relationships than any UN resolution ever could. Because there is no framing, no narrative, no geopolitical context that makes a drone strike on a civilian airport acceptable to anyone. Iran did not escalate this morning. Iran made itself the enemy of every country within missile range. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

HUGE quadruple lines in NYC’s St Patrick’s Cathedral on both sides of the main aisle for Ash Wednesday blessings. In 45 years never seen it this busy. Mayor Mamdani’s snub of the new bishop may have something to do with it.

VP VANCE on negotiations with Iran: "One thing about the negotiation I will say this morning is, in some ways it went well. They agreed to meet afterwards, but in other ways it was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through." | @TheStoryFNC
