Mark Kelly Has Major Concern About Iran But Denies It Enriched Uranium To Build Nuke– dailycaller.com

Blurb:

Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly raised concerns Monday about Iran’s nuclear ambitions while arguing that the country was not enriching uranium at weapons-grade levels.

During a discussion about U.S. policy toward Iran on “Anderson Cooper 360,” Kelly pointed to Trump’s 2018 decision to exit the deal negotiated under former President Barack Obama. The senator argued that the agreement limited Iran’s uranium enrichment at the time and suggested that abandoning it contributed to the current tensions.

“In 2018, when Donald Trump was in the White House, he tore up the Iran nuclear deal,” Kelly said. “They were not enriching uranium to the point where they could develop a nuclear weapon. But Donald Trump didn’t like it because it was something his predecessor put in place. And he tore it up.”

The Arizona senator said, however, that Iran’s nuclear capabilities remain a serious concern.

Trump Promises ‘Death, Fire, and Fury’ Should Iran Interfere With Oil Transportation– townhall.com

President Donald Trump has issued a warning to the Islamic Republic of Iran, stating that “death, fire, and fury will reign upon” the Persian state should they interfere with the transportation of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital sea trade route.

Trump claimed that American forces would strike the country “twenty times harder” and will “make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back,” he said in his post to Truth social. The IRGC still seems to think that they are in the driver’s seat, however. They claim that they will be the ones to determine the end of conflict, but that would only be true in the sense that they would choose the date of their surrender.

Trump’s message comes after an Iranian announcement claiming that they would allow nations who would expel American and Israeli diplomats to have free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

It’s Right to Hit ‘Shield’ Around Iran’s Enrichment Now ‘While They’re Weak’– www.breitbart.com

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Arena,” Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) said that Iran was building up the means to protect its enrichment work and the choice was to wait until it was built or hit now “while they’re weak” and “I would have said, yeah, go now. We don’t want to have to get to a point where we have a larger, more complicated, more expensive, more deadly war. So, the strikes make sense.”

Host Kasie Hunt asked, “Where are you on the success or failure of what we’ve seen here? Do you think the world is currently better off today than it was before this started?”

Landsman answered, “We don’t know yet, right? The decision was, look, the Iranian regime wants to enrich uranium. They want to do it underground. We can stop that. But they were building up this shield to protect the enrichment work. At what point do you go in? Do you wait until it’s already up and running, this shield, which makes it difficult to penetrate, if not impossible? Or do you go now and do it while they’re weak? I would have said, yeah, go now. We don’t want to have to get to a point where we have a larger, more complicated, more expensive, more deadly war. So, the strikes make sense. But they need to get in, get them done, and then get out.”

The president is optimistic. Our joint operation is ahead of its own projected timelines. Wall Street Journal: President Trump said the Iran war will be over “very soon,” but that the U.S. military campaign still has further to go. At a Monday press conference, he said: “We’re achieving major strides toward completing our military objective. We could call it a tremendous success right now,” he added, “or we could go further, and we’re going to go further.” Earlier, he signaled in an interview with CBS News that the Iran war is “very complete, pretty much,” a sign that he may soon call an end to the bombing campaign (Wall Street Journal).

Mojtaba Khamenei Is Hardliner, Shows ‘Regime Isn’t Reformable’– www.dailysignal.com

The selection of Mojtaba Khamenei, son of slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as Iran’s new supreme leader sends a clear message that “the regime isn’t reformable,” one foreign policy expert says.

The 88 senior Shiite clerics who met to name Ali Khamenei’s successor could have chosen to largely hold to their “national priorities” and also “send something to [U.S. President Donald] Trump,” said Ilan Berman, senior vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council, but “that’s not what’s happening here.”

Ali Khamenei did not leave a succession plan, but the son is someone who “the hardliners in the system can coalesce around,” Berman told The Daily Signal.

While Mojtaba Khamenei may have been the only clear choice still alive to take the role, his selection contradicts the doctrine of the regime, which opposes dynastic rule.

Colombia has always been a conservative, right-leaning country, but in 2022, it elected the former guerilla turned socialist wacko Gustavo Petro. It hasn’t had a good time ever since, whether it’s been economic struggles or the fact that el presidente has attempted to curb violence in the country by sharing hugs and popsicles and rainbows with terrorist groups through his “total piece” plan.

When he’s not doing any of that, he’s usually on social media talking about how well he can please a woman or how great he is at writing erotic poetry. Occasionally, he throws in some anti-United States, anti-Israel, or anti-Donald Trump diatribe about imperialism. When he’s not on social media, he’s giving erratic speeches and chaotic interviews, or visiting the United States, where he likes to make a fool of himself. He’s been in our country three times over the past six months.

The first time, he stood outside the UN on the streets of New York with Roger Waters and called for the U.S. military to rise up against Donald Trump. The State Department threatened to take away his visa, though it’s not clear now whether it ever did. The second time was earlier this year when he reluctantly called Donald Trump up for an in-person meeting after he saw what Trump did to Petro’s pal, Nicolás Maduro. Trump made him use the back door. The third time was this past Friday when he spoke at Jesse Jackson’s funeral, and by spoke, I mean carried on so long that he had to be shuffled off the stage.

The Media Is Taking Iran’s Word on the School Strike – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Blurb:

President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth flatly denied that U.S. forces targeted civilians after a missile strike destroyed a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Trump said the information he reviewed suggested Iran may have caused the explosion itself, while Hegseth repeated that U.S. forces don’t deliberately attack civilians and confirmed the Pentagon is reviewing the incident.

That didn’t stop Western media outlets from rushing to repeat Tehran’s accusations.

This may be a shock to you, but Iranian state media quickly blamed the United States and Israel for the February 28 explosion at Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school, which killed 168 people, injuring dozens more.

The claim rapidly spread through Western coverage, even though it came from the same government currently fighting the United States.

Europe’s Willful Irrelevance In Iran War Proves JD Vance Right– thefederalist.com

Blurb:

When Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the Munich Security Conference in February 2025, he delivered a blunt critique: Europe had retreated from fundamental values like free speech, pursued decades of progressive policies that eroded strength, and left the continent too weak to robustly defend the West. European leaders dismissed his criticism as “absurd” and “not acceptable.”

Yet the war against Iran has underscored Vance’s point.

The European Union has long-standing grievances against Tehran: decades of terrorism on European soil. Tehran has also taken numerous European visitors as hostages over the years, using them as leverage to extract concessions such as prisoner swaps, debt repayments, and asset releases. A striking example is the case of British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was detained in 2016 and was only freed in 2022 after the UK government repaid a long-standing debt of nearly £400 million.

Facing this persistent threat, Europe had a clear opportunity to unite with allies against a common foe. Instead, major nations delivered lackluster, divided responses — slow, sidelined, or obstructive.

The censorship crisis in Europe has recently reignited global concern over protecting free expression. Europe has consistently made headlines for overreaching restrictions — from Vice President JD Vance highlighting the continent’s crisis of censorship to, more recently, Elon Musk’s high-profile challenge against the European Union in defense of online free speech. But the growing attacks on free speech across the Atlantic aren’t the only offenses to watch. Censorship in Brazil has been escalating since 2019, and the violations against free expression are just as alarming.

In Europe, we’ve seen: a sitting parliamentarian prosecuted for sharing a Bible verse on X, a comedian arrested for social media posts criticizing gender ideology, and citizens criminalized for merely praying silently in their own minds, among many other severe free speech violations. Brazil is producing its own wave of censorship abuses, much like these.

The federal complaint against Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, was released on Monday afternoon, detailing charges against the two Pennsylvania men who are suspected of attempting to commit an ISIS-inspired bombing on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Saturday.

Count one alleges that the two “knowingly attempted to provide ‘material support or resources’… including personnel, to wit, themselves, and services to a foreign terrorist organization, to wit, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (‘ISIS‘).” ISIS is a designated foreign terrorist organization. Count two details charges for use of a weapon of mass destruction, saying that the two “knowingly used, threatened, and attempted to use, a weapon of mass destruction—namely, a destructive device… against persons and property withing the United States…”

Counts three, four, and five all stem from the first two and reference transportation of explosive materials, interstate transportation and receipt of explosives, and the unlawful possession of destructive devices.

G7 won’t release oil reserves yet to quell surging oil prices amid Iran war – National– globalnews.ca

Blurb:

G7 nations said on Monday they were prepared to implement “necessary measures” in response to surging global oil prices but stopped short of committing to release emergency reserves, despite crude prices briefly surpassing $119 a barrel as the U.S.-Israel war on Iran continues.

“We are not there yet,” French Finance Minister Roland Lescure told reporters in Brussels, after hosting a teleconference meeting of G7 finance ministers.

A final statement following the meeting said the ministers “will continue to closely monitor the situation and developments in the energy markets and will meet as needed to exchange information and to coordinate within the G7 and with international partners.”

“We stand ready to take necessary measures, including to support global supply of energy such as stockpile release,” it added.

Oil prices hit their highest levels since mid‑2022 on Monday, propelled by fears of prolonged shipping disruption and reduced output from some major producers wary of the conflict escalating. However, the market reversed late in the day, with benchmarks falling below $90 a barrel, after President Donald Trump told CBS News that the war was “pretty much” complete.

One person has been killed in an Iranian attack in Bahrain, as regional countries including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates intercept drones and missiles from Iran.

A 29-year-old woman was killed and eight people injured when a residential building in Bahrain’s capital Manama was hit, the country’s Ministry of Interior said on Tuesday.

The attack came after Bahrain’s Ministry of Health reported on Monday that two people, including several children, were wounded in an Iranian drone attack on the island of Sitra, south of Manama. Bahrain said late on Monday that its air defences had intercepted and destroyed 102 missiles and 173 drones launched as “Iranian aggression” on the kingdom.

In an era when nearly every piece of land on Earth belongs to a recognised state, the idea of starting a new country can sound almost impossible. Yet Daniel Jackson, a 20-year-old with British and Australian citizenship, insists he has done exactly that. Jackson is the self-declared president of the Free Republic of Verdis, a tiny patch of forest and sand along the Danube River between Serbia and Croatia that he says qualifies as terra nullius — land claimed by no country. His project has attracted thousands of online supporters, a volunteer government and even its own passports. But Jackson himself cannot enter the territory he claims to rule. After attempting to settle the land in 2023, he says Croatian authorities removed him and imposed a lifetime ban, leaving the would-be president running his micronation from exile.

WOLFSBURG, Germany: Volkswagen said Tuesday (Mar 10) that it would cut 50,000 jobs in Germany by 2030 as its profit slid to its lowest level since 2016.

“In total, around 50,000 jobs are due to be cut by 2030 across the Volkswagen Group in Germany,” Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said in a letter to shareholders in the firm’s annual report.

The 10-brand group had already struck a deal with unions at the end of 2024 to cut 35,000 jobs by 2030, mostly at its namesake brand, as part of plans to save 15 billion euros a year.

The additional cuts would come from premium brands Audi and Porsche as well as Volkswagen’s software subsidiary Cariad, Blume added.
