As I’ve been predicting from the start of the war, I don’t see how we end it without having neutralized Iran’s refinement facilities and whatever part of its refined Uranium we are able to locate. That will require not only special forces raids but also deployment of airborne troops to secure the perimeter around facilities targeted by special forces. With sustained air support. I think this will happen before the war is brought to an end. 82nd or 101st Airborne. Deployed from the air, in substantial force.

NEWS: Trump has been strategizing methods to secure or extract Iran's nuclear materials, sources told @CBSNews. The timing of any such an operation – if he were to order it – remained unclear Friday night. One source said he has made no decision yet. But planning has centered on the possible deployment of forces from Joint Special Operations Command, the elite military unit often tasked with the most sensitive counter-proliferation missions, two of the sources said.

Iran’s leaders are too dumb to realize they just reinforced the case for war against them.

Huh. Fully operational IRBMs. I guess President Trump and U.S. defense officials had access to information regarding Iran's missile capabilities that was not available to leftwing tankies, New Right dipshits, and journalists.
OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical

Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.

Woodrow Wilson. Stricken from every tablet in the land. Cesar Chavez. Same. Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson. Ghosted. Democratic Party heroes are dwindling. I fear for FDR.

Joe Kent had a very important job as the head of the National Counterterrorism Center. He says his only goal was to stop the Iran war. This is a total misunderstanding and misapplication of his role. Regardless of your view of the war that is a total failure at the job.

🇺🇸 Ex-CT Chief Joe Kent to Megyn Kelly: “They called me weak, a traitor, anti-Semite; now leaking felony probes against me while I raise my boys alone. I did nothing wrong. My mission is to stop this war. Everything else is a sideshow.”

I think “President Trump makes his own decisions” is a better mental model than “the Jews assassinated Charlie Kirk and are blackmailing the American president”

Predictably, alas, Archbishop Alexander Sample's powerful reassertion of the Church's condemnation of antisemitism and conspiracy theorizing against the Jewish people has brought the antisemites out from under the rocks. Some claim to be faithful Catholics. They're no such thing.

When I ran for President in 08, @chucknorris endorsed me & he & Gena traveled with @janethuckabee & me for over 4 months. Their Christian faith was authentic & deep as was their love for each other. His love of America was profound and borne out of a patriotism that was part of his upbringing & his military service. He was humble & kind. I'll never forget a visit we made to a Veterans Home in New Hampshire. Chuck & Gena graciously visited with every veteran, listening & caring. Most of these veterans idolized Chuck Norris. He & Gena were patient, warm, & compassionate. When we got in the vehicle after the visit, I looked over at them & they were both weeping having been touched by these aging US veterans & their stories. Chuck Norris took God seriously but never took himself too seriously. We often spent travel time sharing Chuck Norris jokes. We went to his ranch in Texas. We kept in touch after the campaign. His given name is Carlos, but it took a while to get used to using the name Gena & his mother called him because after all, he was CHUCK NORRIS! Got to know his wonderful mother who passed away in 2024. He was a guest multiple times on my TV show. When I was named Ambassador to Israel, he was thrilled. He was a strong friend of Israel & of @IsraeliPM Netanyahu. My heart is broken by his death. My condolences to Gena & his family. The legend may be gone, but the memories will never die. Thank you Chuck. "Well done, good & faithful servant!"

It’s starting to look like this hunch was correct and that the IRGC, in a desperate attempt to set the region on fire and rally jihadists behind them, is trying to blow up the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount. This cluster munition flew directly over Al-Aqsa and landed just 200 meters away. This shell would have destroyed the domes. This seems to be their plan. It is the only possibile reason they are repeatedly targeting the Old City of Jerusalem. There are no military targets there, and most of the population is Muslim.
Saul Sadka@Saul_Sadka

This map of Jerusalem shows a black rectangle marking the Temple Mount, the site of the Dome of the Rock. The red dots indicate the approximate locations of Iranian missile impacts in Israel’s capital over the past two weeks. Could the IRGC actually be trying to hit Al Aqsa in some deranged Hail Mary attempt to frame Israel for damaging it?

Odds that Nowruz is a target date for whatever attempt will be made to stir an uprising are high.

Tucker likes to have friendly conversations with bad people. When he realizes that he’s talking to Iranian intelligence officials that we already collect on, he pretends to be a victim of “spying.” He’s an idiot, and he thinks you’re an idiot too. You always need a warrant to “wire tap” any American citizen. Full stop. But if you’re communicating with a criminal and that criminal’s phone is tapped (because a judge authorized it), then your conversation is now part of that investigation. If the police also want to tap *your* phone, they would need a warrant. FISA is no different. Tucker knows all this but his favorite grift is to play the victim. I’m surprised he hasn’t blamed the Jews yet. Give it time.

In the 24 hours before a fringe Catholic political group planned to host a gala honoring a number of public figures who have faced accusations of antisemitism, several prominent members of the American Catholic Church stated unequivocally that antisemitism is not a part of their religious doctrine. @GSDeutch reports: ji.news/4vhv9

I told them not to zero out the US Helium Reserve. No one ever listens to me….
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86

Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s atmosphere permanently. Once released, it rises through the troposphere, passes the stratosphere, and leaves the planet. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be synthesised at industrial scale. It accumulates over billions of years in the same geological reservoirs as natural gas. And one third of the world’s supply just went offline because Iran hit the facility that extracts it. Qatar produced roughly 63 million cubic metres of helium in 2025, accounting for 30 to 36 percent of global supply from a total of approximately 190 million cubic metres. QatarEnergy’s three large helium purification plants at Ras Laffan form the world’s biggest helium production base. When LNG production stopped after Iranian drone strikes on March 2 and the subsequent missile damage on March 19, helium extraction stopped automatically because helium is recovered during natural gas liquefaction. You cannot produce helium without producing LNG. The byproduct dies with the primary product. Spot helium prices have roughly doubled since the crisis began. Industry consultants warn that prolonged disruption could push contract prices toward $2,000 per thousand cubic feet. A major industrial gas supplier has already begun assessing customers a helium surcharge. Phil Kornbluth, the most cited helium market consultant, stated the assessment directly: the world cannot compensate for the loss of a third of its helium supply. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. SK Hynix and Samsung operate high-volume fabs producing the DRAM and high-bandwidth memory that power every AI accelerator, every data centre GPU, and every cloud computing cluster on Earth. Helium cools silicon wafers during fabrication. It serves as a carrier gas in deposition and etching tools. It enables leak detection in vacuum systems. Modern extreme ultraviolet lithography requires helium-cooled environments for precise temperature control. Without helium, the fabrication process degrades or stops. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Two to three months is not a buffer. It is a countdown. If Ras Laffan remains offline beyond that window, South Korean memory production faces rationing. TSMC in Taiwan is somewhat more diversified but still uses Qatar-linked supply chains. The entire AI hardware supply chain, from HBM3E memory stacks to advanced logic chips, sits inside helium-dependent ecosystems. Beyond semiconductors, helium cools the superconducting magnets in more than 14,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. It pressurises rocket fuel tanks and purges propulsion systems in aerospace. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider depends on helium cryogenic systems. There is no substitute for helium in any of these applications at industrial scale. The United States and Qatar together account for more than 70 percent of global production. The US federal helium reserve and private suppliers offer partial relief, but global prices and spot availability are still governed by Qatar’s market share. Japan’s Iwatani has drawn on US reserves. Canada and the Rockies are seeing renewed investor interest. None of this replaces 63 million cubic metres in weeks. The war hit uranium first. Then oil. Then nitrogen. Then water. Then plastic. Then medicine. Then sulfur. Now helium. Eight layers. Each one deeper. Each one closer to the infrastructure that sustains modern civilisation. The chip that processes your data, the magnet that scans your body, and the rocket that launches your satellite all depend on an atom that leaves the planet when you lose it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
