Today, Ukrainian intelligence reportedly launched 117 attack drones from trucks that had been placed near Russian air bases. I tasked several collects this morning via @umbraspace and my first images have already started processing. What a remarkable success in a well-executed operation.

'An account that made the same bet was created shortly before the US struck Iran on 28 February. It also placed a winning bet on those strikes, which raised similar questions around insider trading, and so far has bet on nothing else.' theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

Energy industry insider in Iran tells me the following, and it is STUNNING: Before the war, Iran produced just shy of 1.1mn barrels of oil per day, and sold it at $65 per barrel minus $18 discount (i.e. $47) Today, it produces 1.5mn barrels a day, and sells it at $110 with only $2-4 discount. And this does not include petrochemical sales that not only have increased, but are now being sold to a larger set of customers compared to before the war. Moreover, Iran is receiving payments through new mechanisms that bypass the UAE, which were set up after the June war. In essence, and this is really important to understand, Trump and Israel's war has ended up delivering Iran de facto sanctions relief. This means that Iran is all the less incentivized to end the war, unless the agreement provides Iran with formal sanctions relief.

Exactly when Trump's 5-day delay ends and when markets close.

🔴 Major blow to the Kremlin’s war machine. Ukraine’s long-range drones just slammed Russia’s Primorsk port, a key Baltic oil hub pumping 1M barrels daily. The strike set massive fuel tanks ablaze, choking the "shadow fleet" revenue used to fund the invasion.

U.S. forces continue to aggressively strike Iranian military targets with precision munitions.

Excellent profile of one of Ukraine's most important drone commanders, by @olliecarroll. '“Madyar’s birds”...has been responsible for a sixth of the Russian losses. The wider unmanned-forces grouping he now controls accounts for more than a third' economist.com/europe/2026/03…

U.S. forces continue to eliminate the Iranian regime’s one-way attack drone capabilities, which they’ve used to indiscriminately target civilians throughout the region.

An @ABC News analysis of satellite imagery and verified videos suggests that at least 10 radar sites used by the U.S. and its allies have been struck by Iranian drones or missiles since the start of the war. abcnews.link/ECAzByq

Joe Rogan says it’s “scary” that a military commander claimed Trump is “anointed by Jesus Christ to bring back [his] return on Earth… Those [guys] are just as scary as suicide bombers."

This @Airbus satellite image shows heavy damage at this oil storage facility (Shahid Dolati) in Karaj, west of Tehran, Iran, which was attacked on March 7. @GeoConfirmed/@EpicFuryMap: 35.762560, 51.000162.

At least 39 energy oil refineries, natural gas fields and other energy sites in 9 countries have been damaged since US and Israel began bombarding Iran, a @nytimes analysis found. Some have been struck by drones. Several have been hit more than once. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

"We can think of...an escalation ladder...we are still somewhere in the middle rungs. Pakistan is hitting the Taliban on a near-daily basis. The Taliban attack Pakistani positions...intermittently and have launched drone attacks against Pakistani cities." goodauthority.org/news/pakistan-…

U.S. forces continue to neutralize threats posed by the Iranian regime.

This aircraft seen over Larissa, Greece is not a B-2 like the local Greek news reported or an RQ-170, but is in fact best imagery ever published of the RQ-180, an undisclosed low observable drone used by the USAF. Location suggests use in the Iran conflict onlarissa.gr/2026/03/18/mys…

1) In prepared testmony before Congress, STRATCOM today for the first time disclosed its estimate for Russian nuclear weapons: "approximately 4,600 nuclear warheads; 2,600 are intended for its strategic triad and up to 2,000 are warheads intended for theater nuclear weapons..."

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is the very very low level of job creation. If you adjust what has been the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"
