Quite conveniently snuck in the 'Ukrainian drone' and omitted the mention of their cooperation with Israel's Elbit Systems and their AI-driven military tech.
Perfect political food for the liberals.
❗️Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich, speaking to Israel's Radio 94FM:
"The battle in Lebanon must end, at the very least, with the Litani River becoming the new border of the State of Israel. We must, of course, continue striking Hezbollah and decisively defeat it."
Host: "Do you mean establishing settlements?"
Smotrich: "No, not at this stage. We are talking about a fully cleared security strip. Alongside the security aspect, there is also the need to instill in the enemy the ‘cost of mistakes’ and the ‘cost of defeat.’"
"Arabs, whether in Gaza or Lebanon, do not calculate in terms of casualties. What matters to them is land and territory. Everyone in the region dealing with us must understand that when they lose, they lose land to us."

🇱🇧✝️☪️🇮🇷 Christians and Hezbollah Unite Against ‘Epstein Empire’
March 23, 2026 — Originally published in The Telegraph and since REMOVED from their website, though it remains accessible via Yahoo News.
Ras Baalbek, a Catholic town of 6,000 in Lebanon’s northern Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border, shows the complexity of the country’s sectarian landscape. Here, Christian residents have forged an unlikely alliance with Hezbollah to protect their heritage and their lives. Each year, the Iranian-backed group buys the town a Christmas tree, a small but symbolic gesture of solidarity.
“The relationship between the village and Hezbollah is stronger than with the Pope,” says Rifiat Nasrallah, 60, a quarryman whose marble sarcophagi line the cemetery. “The Vatican did nothing for us, but Hezbollah spilled their blood to protect us. The Pope only has prayers.”
Two Lebanese soldiers were in Rifiat Nasrallah’s home as he spoke. On the wall hung a crucifix beside a portrait of Hezbollah’s former secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah. The two men are not related. The image captured the coexistence of the village’s Catholic faith and Hezbollah’s presence.
During the Syrian civil war, the threat that brought Christians and Hezbollah together came from the east. Islamic State fighters attacked from nearby Qasr in Syria, kidnapping workers and threatening to behead villagers. The Lebanese army initially stayed on the sidelines. Hezbollah responded first, sending fighters and coordinating defensive operations alongside local residents.
“At first, it was only Hezbollah and the villagers who fought the Salafists,” Nasrallah recalls. “We fought together with missiles and rockets. Many were wounded, some died. I was nearly killed by shrapnel.”
The Lebanese army later joined in and is credited with driving IS out of the region by 2017, but the early defense cemented the bond between the Catholic village and the Shia militia.
Today, renewed regional tensions fuel anxiety in Ras Baalbek. Christians worry about attacks from Syrian Salafist groups, while Hezbollah monitors Israeli activity across Syrian airspace. Nasrallah is clear about his priorities. “Israel is our first enemy. Hezbollah is our friend.”
Shia refugees in the valley recall constant drone strikes, air raids, and daily violence during the last ceasefire. One described it as the “cruellest” period of the war. Trauma has deepened suspicion toward global powers. “We are at war with the Epstein people,” the refugee said. “They eat, fry, and rape kids. They are monsters. The worst part is they rule the world.”
For Ras Baalbek, Hezbollah is no abstract force. The militia defended the village from IS, provided medical care during Covid, delivered electricity when generators were scarce, and maintained Christmas traditions.
Nasrallah is unequivocal. “How can we as Christians here not be with Hezbollah? They protect our churches. They fought Isis with us. They gave us care, generators, even a Christmas tree. How can we not be with them now?”
🏴☠️Trump in the last 96 hours
Friday, "I don't want a ceasefire with Iran."
Friday, "We plan to gradually reduce our military efforts in the war against Iran."
Saturday, Axios reports that Trump is planning "peace talks" with Iran.
Sunday, "Iran wants a deal. Not me."
Sunday, "If Iran doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the US will destroy Iran's power plants."
Monday, "The US and Iran had very good and productive talks... I ordered a five-day postponement of any strikes on Iranian power plants."
Iranian media official sources says there was no contact between Tehran and Washington, Trump backed down in fear of an Iranian retaliation.
We, the Handala Hack , have today initiated a new phase of Operation Lockheed Martin.
We now possess the complete data of 28 senior American engineers based in the occupied territories and involved in military projects—including names, identification numbers, passports, places of residence, and service bases. All of this information has been leaked .
These engineers, who have worked for years in key technical roles for the occupier’s military, were engaged in critical projects such as the maintenance of F-35 and F-22 fighter jets and the THAAD defense system. The veil of technical secrecy has now been lifted.
In recent hours, we have established contact with some of them to demonstrate just how fragile digital barriers can be. From conversations about their daily interests to ordinary details of their lives, all was done to show that “privacy” is merely a word in a book, not a reality.
We called them and told them where they live, the names of their children, their favorite foods, their weekend activities, and the locations of their families’ residences in the United States.
They were told they have a limited time to change course and leave an area that is no longer safe. We warned that delaying their decision means entrusting their fate to a storm that has already begun—a storm made not of smoke and fire, but of data and exposure.
They were given 48 hours to cease cooperation with the Zionist regime and leave the occupied territories immediately. Otherwise, their homes would become missile targets. We also have friends in the United States who care more for their families than they do themselves, and if they do not return home, these friends will visit their families.
Go home right now.

Well, this IS praxis
🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷The New York Times reports that the war in Iran actually began due to a large-scale failure of Israeli intelligence.
The "Mossad" allegedly made a strategic bet on an internal uprising in Iran, which turned out to be a fatal mistake. Subsequently, Israeli special services and the country's leadership convinced Washington of the need for a coordinated strike, but the plan completely failed.
It was assumed that the targeted elimination of the top religious and political leadership of Iran would provoke a mass protest movement, and armed Kurdish forces on the borders would become the core of direct military pressure on the ground.
The American intelligence community was initially skeptical of this scenario, pointing to the lack of real prerequisites for such a development of events. Nevertheless, the Mossad's arguments about the "quick collapse of the regime" became decisive for involving the US in a full-scale conflict. And it was probably not easy to argue with Trump, as there was a real risk of losing funding and jobs.
As a result, Washington found itself hostage to a strategy based on a weak hypothesis: that an external military "roll" would lead to an instant destabilization of power. In practice, however, this caused the opposite effect - an unprecedented consolidation of the Iranian leadership and a sharp escalation of the conflict.

This is what is coming for every Western country that depends on the Hormuz. Things are going to get wild.
Repeating something I said on the first megathread, is that this war could last a few more days or a few more decades. It’s a war and we don’t know what will happen, so if you’re feeling like it’s too much you could, and perhaps should, stop following it. Iran and allies are likely to suffer more casualties than the empire’s army that was built with the stolen riches from all of the world, which might just make it harder to follow for some.
Iran has a plan and from my observations so far seem to be executing it really well though, so a second victory like last year or better is quite possible!

💥📝🇱🇧🇮🇷🇮🇱 Lebanese political analyst Marwa Osman:
Yesterday was definitely not just another day in this war. It was a reality check.
Iran destroyed an entire district in Arad, occupied Palestine, with a supersonic missile. Even Israeli sources admit that about 20 buildings were destroyed, hundreds of people were killed and injured, and the bodies are still buried under the rubble. Let's just say, when 1,300 rescuers are sent to one strike zone, you can't call that anything else.
An hour earlier, there was astrike on Dimona. Many buildings were destroyed, dozens of people were injured, and here's the message: Dimona is just nine kilometers from the Israeli nuclear reactor. Iran is no longer acting covertly. It's loudly declaring: next time, we won't miss our real target.
Then came the psychological warfare. A warning to Doha was issued and then cancelled. "A mistake," they said. Maybe. Or maybe it was a message delivered exactly as intended and very well understood.
And now the biggest change: Iran officially declares that it controls Israeli airspace.
This means that the next missiles won't just fall - they will arrive unimpeded. No warnings, no interceptions, just a strike. A direct consequence of the systematic disabling of the radar shield that once protected Israel. So, in essence, Iran will act exactly as Zionist Israel did over Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen.
This changes the rules of the game. Remember when on the 15th day, Israel and the US declared that Iran was "neutralized"? The 23rd day simply showed how dangerous and false that lie was.
This is a change of doctrine. You see, the holy month of Ramadan has ended. In Islam, we are forbidden to "wage war" during this month. Iran was simply defending itself. But now Eid al-Fitr has arrived (congrats😉), and Iran is starting to show the aggressors what an offensive means.
And if this trend continues, don't be surprised if the world wakes up to something even bigger - like a nuclear test, not as a first strike, but as a deterrent.
Because what's happening right now is no longer a localized conflict. These are early signs of a historic defeat [for Israel], one that will surpass the Yom Kippur War [i.e., the 1973 Arab-Israeli War].

🇺🇸⚔🇮🇷 What a headline. Soldiers working remotely.
Iran has bombed U.S. bases across the Middle East in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war, forcing many American troops to relocate to hotels and office spaces throughout the region, according to military personnel and American officials.
So now much of the land-based military is, in essence, fighting the war while working remotely, with the exception of fighter pilots and crews operating and maintaining warplanes and conducting strikes. - New York Times
And now you know why hotels are getting hit as well. 😉
He's lying. I can see it in his all caps. He's walking back his threats. What a little poopy baby. I cant wait to hear the Iranians deny any discussions.
🇱🇧❌🇮🇱 — As of this moment, Hezbollah has targeted and destroyed 9 tanks, two Humvees, and a bulldozer today alone, and also attempted to intercept a warplane.
@SimurghRes
Iran denies launching missiles at Diego Garcia, claiming they do not have missiles with that range.
The United Arab Emirates is facing an existential crisis. Under a barrage of Iranian drones, the petro-state’s illusion of stability is disintegrating, and its status as a global hub for finance and tourism is eroding.
Yet, even as its own survival is tested, the UAE’s commitment to the destruction of Sudan remains unshakeable. While the UAE faces a domestic food crisis due to collapsing imports, it continues to export weapons fueling the g*nocide in Sudan, perpetrated by its proxy, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
Complete analysis:
spoiler
As reported by Le Monde, the UAE is developing new supply routes. On Sudan's eastern border, UAE-linked cargo planes are making repeated flights to Ethiopia, where according to a Reuters article a secret RSF training camp has been established. Meanwhile, alleged "infrastructure" investments in the Central African Republic seem to serve as a strategic cover for a supply base in western Sudan.
Even as its own home burns, the UAE persists in this campaign because g*nocide is a business model, and the blood of Sudanese people is a low price to pay.
Firstly, despite having no mines of its own, the UAE seeks to dominate the global gold trade, even as it is unable to export the gold looted by its proxy militia.
Secondly, despite a lack of rain, the UAE seeks to dominate the global food trade by turning Sudan’s fertile banks into a private breadbasket. Yet its own supermarket shelves are rapidly emptying, amid supply challenges facing a state that imports 90% of its food.
Thirdly, the UAE aims to establish a maritime empire through Sudan’s strategic ports, despite currently being unable to defend its own coastline.
By fueling a massacre while its own territory comes under fire, the UAE is once again showing its commitment to g*nocide in Sudan.
It is still too early to know whether the war on Iran has disrupted the UAE’s supply lines to the RSF. However, the wider impact on aviation is already significant. If airspace closures, flight cancellations, and security risks continue to ground or severely restrict flights in and out of the UAE for a sustained period, then the flow of weapons being transported onward to Sudan would also be reduced.

🔥🇺🇸🇸🇦🇮🇷SAUDI PRINCE ENCOURAGES TRUMP TO CONTINUE THE WAR AGAINST IRAN — NYT
The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Shalom, urges Trump to continue the war against Iran, calling it a "historic opportunity" to change the situation in the Middle East and potentially weaken or overthrow the Iranian government. He believes that Iran represents a "long-term threat that must be decisively combated".
MBS knows this is the end of the line for the Monarchy. If the US withdraws, his rule is fucked. The people will not tolerate a blatant monarchy for long (especially given the religious connotation to this war), and he won't have US military support to quell any domestic rebellion. To top it off, Iran has always supported anti-imperialist causes in West Asia. MBS would get his head put on a spike by a Hezbollah equivalent in less than a year.
He's going all out. Either the US stays or the Monarchy goes.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷The American press reports on how Trump is being briefed on the US war in the Middle East.
The Pentagon shows him a two-minute montage of "successful US strikes on Iran" every day - mostly explosions and victories.
From this, in fact, he gets the overall picture.

Reports of The United States and Israel targeting energy facilities in Isfahan and Khorramshahr and the gas pipeline belonging to the Khorramshahr power station.
Looks like saying they would wait five days was just a lie to buy time (while also affecting the market). Hope to see some great Iranian strikes related to this. Perhaps even no more electricity in the gulf and occupied parts of Palestine.
Iran rejected the American 15-point plan to end the war and proposed its own plan to Washington. It contains only five points.
An end to "aggression and assassinations";
Provision of specific mechanisms to guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again;
Payment of war damages and reparations;
An end to the war on all fronts;
International recognition and guarantees of Iran's sovereign right to control the Strait of Hormuz.
❗️According to Tasnim News Agency, US-Israeli attacks on the Pardisan neighborhood in Qom early Friday morning killed 18 residents, including an entire family of 9, with victims ranging from a one-year-old child to individuals over 65.
The strikes caused extensive damage to residential buildings: nearly ten homes were completely destroyed, about forty-five required full reconstruction, and roughly two hundred nearby units sustained minor damage.

Venting
I'm posting this to express the brutal costs of empire, of what the imperialists do in their dying cling to relavence. Each one if these people's lives are worth 1000 times more than all the blood soaked riches the West has stolen. Pahlavists see these people as sacrifices for the sake of healing their wounded egos, an arrogance that was stung by Iran standing on its own merits and principles. The monarchists are cowards who can’t fathom anything besides shivering under the puts of the powerful, like rats that subsist off the rotten meals of humans. They are terrified to look within themselves and see that their theory of humiliation for a fragment power was proven wrong by the Islamic Republic weilding power without submission to anyone.
And the imperialists are of course lashing out because they have nothing else they can do. They destroy families, tribes, entire peoples, all for the sake of a meaningless goal.
If there is one thing I want instilled in Western leftists, the thing that is probably the most difficult for them to understand, it's that the Iranian government is sacrificing everything in an effort that will eventually allow the people of the US to free themselves. The retreat of imperialism leaves the US ruling class with less access to the means which they use to maintain power, and Iran is valiantly fighting for that future.
I'm sick of hearing about "theocracy" and other excuses that western leftists use to denigrate the Iranian struggle. They need to accept that the popular struggle in Iran has taken the form of the Islamic Tepubluc and that the IRI is unquestionably one if the most morally upright nations on earth due to their sacrifice for the tangible liberation of West Asia.
This family was not sacrificed on the alter of Iranian capital or Iranian theocracy or Iranian bourgeois nationalism or any other dismissive rhetoric. This family was martyred in their people's uncompromising struggle to free their entire region. Their blood was spilled by Western empire who only seeks to consume for the sake of consumption in an endless glutinous rampage.
I urge my comrades to remember their faces to the best of your ability.

Kash Patel current director of the FBI Hacked
Today, once again, the world witnessed the collapse of America’s so-called security legends. While the FBI proudly seized our domains and immediately announced a $10 million reward for the heads of Handala Hack members, we decided to respond to this ridiculous show in a way that will be remembered forever.
Kash Patel, the current head of the FBI, who once saw his name displayed with pride on the agency’s headquarters, will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims. The so-called “impenetrable” systems of the FBI were brought to their knees within hours by our team. All personal and confidential information of Kash Patel, including emails, conversations, documents, and even classified files, is now available for public download.
This is the security that the U.S. government boasts about?! This is the cyber giant that thinks threats and bribes can silence the voice of resistance?! To the whole world, we declare: the FBI is just a name, and behind this name, there is no real security. If your director can be compromised this easily, what do you expect from your lower-level employees?
Dedicated to the martyrs of the Dena destroyer.
This is just our beginning…
