This should have been on the front page of The New York Times. I’ve spoken with students in America. Most have no idea that more than 32,000 unarmed, people have been killed for demanding freedom in Iran. Hundreds more are on death row, waiting to be hanged. 💔 Thank you, New York Post.

politico.com/interactives/2… Time to revisit @JoshMeyerDC opus: In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign - Project Cassandra - which was targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a @politico investigation.

NEW: High resolution satellite imagery taken by Airbus confirms the strike reported by the IDF on a large building at Malek Ashtar University. See before and after images of the most recent strike.  In its announcement today of the recent strike, the IDF described the attacked site as, "a strategic research and development site used by the Iranian terror regime to develop components for nuclear weapons production." Further, it stated (translated from Hebrew), "The Malek Ashtar University site served the Iranian terror regime's military industries and ballistic missile array for developing components for nuclear weapons and combat means. Malek Ashtar University is subordinate to the Iranian Ministry of Defense and has been under international sanctions for decades of activity to advance the nuclear program and develop ballistic missiles."

Where does all that cash Americans spend buying crystal meth, cocaine, and fentanyl end up? A bit of it here, in the Jardines de Humaya cemetery in Sinaloa, where many narcos are buried, and they have monuments to their violent entrepreneurial lives...

Interesting development on Havana Syndrome (AHI) today before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Chairman Crawford asks if the Intelligence Community Assessment on AHI -- which assessed it was "very unlikely" a directed energy weapon capable of causing AHI has been wielded by a foreign actor against Americans -- should be retracted. Gabbard (ODNI), Patel (FBI), Hartman (NSA) and Adams (DIA) all say, "Yes." Ratcliffe (CIA) defers to Gabbard on the issue. NSA director saying "Yes" also hints at NSA's altered assessment from late 2024, lending credence to a foreign actor having or using such a weapon. DIA's investigation into AHI, led by Greg Edgreen, was always more confident Russia was behind this. youtube.com/watch?v=FiRYe3…

The Bills Mafia community is deeply mourning the tragic sacrifice of a young 20-year old Buffalo police officer and devoted Bills fan who lost her life while on duty. For years, she attended games with her father at the stadium, cheering for the Bills together. Now that seat will remain painfully empty after a wrong way crash caused by a suspected DUl driver.

Iran has executed three men, including 19-year-old Saleh Mohammadi from its national wrestling team, after they were accused of killing two police officers during protests in January. Rights groups argue that the trio were executed without a fair trial and had given confessions under torture. CBS News contributor and Iranian activist @AlinejadMasih said the Iranian regime's decision to execute athletes is strategic as "they are the role models and heroes of millions of people" across the country.

Not an anomaly: read about the perpetrator of the West Bloomfield terror attack, Ayman Ghazali, and Hezbollah support in America in my latest @LongWarJournal: longwarjournal.org/archives/2026/…

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.
