Amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis, President Trump has voiced frustration with NATO allies for declining to provide naval or other support, repeatedly calling their position disappointing and suggesting it could damage the alliance long-term. He reiterated that the U.S. does not require their assistance in confronting Iran but questioned whether NATO would ever truly be there for America in a crisis. Such statements have kept the topic of a potential U.S. pullout alive in political discourse. With tensions rising, even low-probability bets on Polymarket reflect the uncertainty. This comes alongside the high-profile resignation of Joe Kent from his role leading the National Counterterrorism Center, where he protested the administration's decision to engage in the Iran war.

Joe Kent resigned, but what does that mean? The messaging on Iran needs to be tighter. NATO is refusing to help the US in Iran. Medal of Honor: Pappy BoyingtonFollow The Jesse Kelly Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJesseKellyShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dean Karayanis, former Rush Limbaugh staffer and New York Sun columnist, steps in for Derek Hunter. The show digs into the 2026 war with Iran, a critique of media "elites," and a reflection on the shifting tides of American foreign policy and cultural resilience. The New York Times' skepticism regarding Israel's "decapitation" strategy against Iranian leadership is debunked with historical parallels to the fall of the Nazi regime. Dean pulls no punches on the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, the "trust policies" of Fairfax County that he argues are endangering citizens, and the curious silence of the "Arab Street" as Iran's proxies face dismantling. The episode rounds out with a cultural critique — moving from the "woke" re-branding of Texas Democrats to the aspirational, colorblind philosophy of Star Trek's original series. It's a masterclass in connecting historical precedent to the chaotic reality of 2026. The Iran Conflict: Why "decapitating" leadership works and why the media is desperate to find "pragmatic" terrorists. NATO & The "Ugly American": A look at France and Ireland's critiques of U.S. policy and why Dean agrees with Lord Palmerston that nations have no permanent allies, just permanent interests. Domestic Security: The tragic murder of Stephanie Minter and the "trust policies" hampering law enforcement. Star Trek Philosophy: What Kirk, Uhura, and Lincoln can teach us about not fearing words in a hypersensitive age.

Today's Headlines: The Iran war claimed a notable casualty on the home front: Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned and posted his letter on Twitter, writing that Iran posed no imminent threat and the war was started due to pressure from Israel's lobby. He's no hero — Kent is a MAGA loyalist with his own troubling associations — but when someone who could defend virtually everything else this administration has done draws a line here, that says something about how broadly unpopular this war has become. Meanwhile, Israel killed two of Iran's most senior remaining officials overnight, including the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, while continuing wide-scale strikes in Iran and southern Lebanon. Trump spent St. Patrick's Day in the Oval Office with Ireland's prime minister, alternating between insisting the U.S. doesn't need NATO's help and complaining it was "very unfair" that no one offered to send minesweepers. Cuba is now on the radar — Trump mused about "taking Cuba in some form" while his administration cut off the island's oil supply, triggering a nationwide blackout. He said he can do "anything he wants" with Cuba. Elsewhere in the circus: Trump appointed Erika Kirk — of Summer House — to the U.S. Air Force Academy's Board of Visitors, a formal congressional oversight body. In other news, Peter Thiel is in Rome giving private lectures warning about the Antichrist, and the Vatican is…not pleased. A former Kansas City pastor was suspended after it emerged she managed Epstein's private island in 2018-2019 and listed different employment on her resume. AG Pam Bondi was formally subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee to testify about her handling of the Epstein files, with an appearance ordered for April 14th. And finally, the SEC is floating a proposal to cut public company earnings reports from quarterly to twice a year — still TBD, but worth watching and preliminary Illinois primary results.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: AP News: Top counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigns over Trump's Iran war NYT: Trump Appointee Pressed Analyst to Redo Intelligence on Venezuelan Gang The Independent: Trump rants US doesn't need any help in Iran war and ‘never did' AP News: Iran launches barrage of missiles after Israel kills 2 of its top officials CNN: Trump muses over ‘taking Cuba' as island's power grid collapses after weeks of US oil blockade Military: Erika Kirk And The Air Force Academy Board: What The Appointment Reveals About The Panel CNN: Peter Thiel's secret lectures on Antichrist in Rome spark debate FOX 4: Former KC-area pastor suspended after church learns she managed Epstein's private island AP News: Attorney General Pam Bondi subpoenaed to answer questions from Congress about the Epstein files WSJ: SEC Prepares Proposal to Eliminate Quarterly Reporting Requirement NBC: Illinois Senate Primary Election 2026 Live Results Subscribe to the Betches News Room and join the Morning Announcements group chat.

Israel intensified its air and ground operations in Lebanon overnight, with airstrikes hitting southern Beirut and millions displaced as the war shows no signs of letting up. President Trump is scolding NATO allies for not doing more to protect the Strait of Hormuz — as European leaders remain hesitant to get involved in the war with Iran. And Trump says he expects to "take Cuba" just as the island suffers another catastrophic blackout, with nearly 11 million people left in the dark amid a U.S. oil blockade.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Hannah Block, Tina Kraja, Tara Neill, Miguel Macias, Mohamad ElBardicy, and Alice Woelfle.It was produced by Iman Maani and Nia Dumas.Our Director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Neisha Heinis.

The US President has repeated his call for other nations, particularly Nato allies, to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump says he has been surprised more world leaders were not "eager" to be involved in securing the key oil shipping route. Meanwhile, India has secured the safe passage of tankers carrying liquified petroleum gas, or LPG. Street vendors and biryani restaurant owners in Kolkata tell us how the current fuel shortages are threatening their livelihoods. And the Israeli military has now confirmed it has begun what it calls "limited ground operations" in Lebanon, as 800 000 people have been forced to flee their homes.Also: amidst a near total fuel blockade by the US, Cuba has experienced an electricity grid collapse. New figures from Interpol show that AI-enhanced scams are now almost five times more profitable than traditional methods. Researchers in Scotland have developed a way to turn discarded plastic bottles into a key medicine used to treat Parkinson's disease. Chelsea Football Club has been fined more than $14m, the Premier League's biggest ever fine, for breaking financial rules. Margareta Magnusson, who popularised the Swedish practice of Death Cleaning, has died at the age of 92.

White House aide Stephen Miller announced yesterday he believes the fraud uncovered in government transfer payments could be so great - if recovered it could balance the federal budget. This as Nick Shirley has now uncovered fraud in California that appears to dwarf what's been discovered in Minnesota. Steve Moore reacts. The Vice President responds to the idea there s any daylight between him and the President on efforts in Iran as two more senior Iranian leaders have been killed. But the Straight of Hormuz continues to be at a standstill and President Trump is leaning heavily on NATO nations to help secure the Straight to get oil moving to market once again. Army veteran and Director of the Center to Advance Security in America James Fitzpatrick discusses his recent case for the strike on Iran as both legal and America First. Another activist judge says Americas kids must continue with the shot schedule, or something - totally undermining RFK Jr.'s executive leadership on the issue. And the Washington Post says Chicago is stone cold broke and better act fast. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, has given his generals and admirals an unusual command: spend money. Lots of it. Quickly. For years, it was the other way around. Canada wore the uniform of a serious NATO ally – while undershooting the alliance's 2% of GDP defence spending target. Now, spurred by what Carney has called a “rupture” in geopolitics, Ottawa is adding billions to hit NATO's target by 31 March 2026 – the end of the fiscal year. Military leaders are scrambling to reverse a culture of frugality and long planning cycles. Parliament's budget watchdog has said the Department of National Defence sometimes struggles to spend the funds it already has. The Conservative defence critic has said the new billions are money “the department won't be able to shovel out the door.” Neal Razzell follows the money to see what changes — and what doesn't — when a military tries to expand at speed. In Quebec, at Canada's main basic training base, he watches the rebuild begin — as recruits and instructors grapple with the limits of time, staff and space. In British Columbia, at the Navy's Pacific headquarters, he asks the commander of Maritime Forces Pacific what “spend fast” can actually fix in a fleet Carney says is less than half operational.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

Germany and Britain say the war against Iran has nothing to do with Nato and the alliance won't be taking part in any effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, said London was working with individual allies on a plan to secure the vital waterway, which has been largely closed by Iran. President Trump has said it will be very bad for Nato if it doesn't get involved, though the alliance is only a defensive partnership. He also called on China to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz - saying it gets "90% of its oil" from there and hinting he might delay his summit with the Chinese president Xi Jinping if he doesn't get what he wants. Also: Russia launched a rare daytime attack in Kyiv on Monday morning - using drones that Ukrainian officials say appear "upgraded"; Whistleblowers have told the BBC that social media giants allowed more harmful content on people's feeds, after research showed how outrage fuelled engagement. TikTok and Meta have denied the claims; BBC Talking Movies presenter Tom Brook on this year's Oscar winners and what they say about the future of the film industry; and new research reveals babies younger than one practise deceit such as pretending not to hear parents or hiding toys.

Trump pressures NATO and China to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open as tensions with Iran escalate. The panel debates whether Trump is showing strategic leverage or signaling weakness, and what a potential shutdown of the world's most important oil chokepoint could mean for global energy and geopolitics.

Donald Trump launched a late-night and early-morning barrage of attacks against the Supreme Court of the United States, NATO, and the media as tensions grow around the escalating conflict involving Iran.As the war continues, the U.S. appears increasingly isolated internationally. Long-time allies like Australia and Japan have publicly declined to participate in military operations in the Middle East, leaving the United States and Israel largely alone in the effort.Meanwhile, questions continue to mount about potential U.S. troop involvement and casualties. Reporters have pressed Trump about American soldiers and whether “boots on the ground” are coming, but answers remain unclear.At the same time, divisions are growing within the MAGA movement itself, with some supporters questioning the direction of the war and America's role overseas.In this video, we break down:Trump's overnight social media attacksWhy U.S. allies are refusing to join the warThe growing political split within MAGAWhat this means for America's position on the global stageStay tuned as we analyze the latest developments and what could come next.

Donald Trump is pressuring European allies to protect the strait of Hormuz, warning that Nato faces a ‘very bad' future if members fail to offer assistance. The strait of Hormuz is one of the most important shipping routes in the world. A fifth of international oil supplies pass through this waterway, which has been disrupted since the start of the war.

Trump Issues Strange Message Defending Mark Levin, Warns Of “Very Bad” Future For NATO If Doesn't Help Keep Strait Of Hormuz Open & Netanyahu Drops Second Proof-Of-Life Video

From the Middle East to global energy markets, Tara breaks down the strategic moves reshaping the world. Learn how Israel and the U.S. are countering Iran, the risks for Marines on the ground, the geopolitical ripple effects on Russia, China, and Venezuela, and why Democrats are panicking over Trump's energy moves. Plus, get insights on flu and COVID vaccines and what the CDC isn't emphasizing. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara dives deep into international conflict, energy policy, and public health: Middle East & Iran War: The new Iranian leadership has not been publicly seen—proof of life remains unverified. Israel plays a pivotal role in countering Iran and Hezbollah, carrying out strikes, intelligence operations, and targeted removals of Iranian nuclear scientists. Limited U.S. ground operations may be deployed in key strategic areas like the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to cripple Iran's oil economy. The broader regional impact spans 12 countries, influencing alliances with Arab nations, Russia, India, China, and NATO dynamics. Energy & Oil Policy: Trump's moves to lift certain Russian oil sanctions are set to drop global oil prices, reversing Democrat-inflated energy costs caused by prior sanctions. These shifts have major implications for U.S. households, global oil markets, and geopolitical power, including China's economic positioning and Russia's oil influence. Public Health Spotlight: Flu vaccines: 200–250 reported deaths annually, possibly up to 1,000 due to underreporting; CDC reports vaccine effectiveness as low as 25% and often readjusted downward over time. COVID vaccines: Adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare but dangerous blood clots, with media coverage downplaying the risks. Tara emphasizes informed consent and questioning medical advice. Domestic Security & Policy: Highlights recent terror-related incidents in the U.S., including attacks linked to Hezbollah and ISIS, and how failures in immigration and gun law enforcement contributed. Straw purchasing and federal gun enforcement policies under Biden are analyzed as contributing factors to domestic security vulnerabilities. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel's intelligence and military operations against Iran and Hezbollah Strategic implications of potential U.S. limited ground operations Trump's energy policy and lifting of Russian oil sanctions Impact on global oil prices, Russia, China, India, and NATO CDC data on flu and COVID vaccine effectiveness and risks Domestic terror threats, immigration policy failures, and gun enforcement issues SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB From Iran to oil markets, Israel to U.S. Marines, Tara exposes the strategies reshaping the world

Tara breaks down today's top stories: Israel's covert and overt operations against Iran, the strategic moves reshaping oil markets, domestic security failures, and what you're not being told about flu and COVID vaccines. From geopolitics to public health, this episode exposes the untold connections influencing your world. SUMMARY Middle East & Iran Conflict: Iran's new leadership remains unseen publicly; proof of life is still demanded by many. Israel is leading covert operations, striking Hezbollah targets across Lebanon and taking out key Iranian nuclear scientists. Limited U.S. forces may be deployed in strategic zones, like the Strait of Hormuz, to control oil flow and pressure Iran economically. Regional conflict impacts 12+ countries, influencing Arab nations, Russia, India, China, and NATO dynamics. Israel's intelligence and military actions prevent a broader escalation and protect U.S. strategic interests. Global Energy & Oil Markets: Trump's lifting of Russian oil sanctions threatens to dramatically lower global oil prices, reversing artificial inflation caused by prior sanctions. Lower oil prices impact U.S. households, the global economy, and geopolitical leverage, including pressure on China and Russia. Democrats are panicking over oil price drops and the potential shift in global energy control. Public Health Insights: Flu vaccines: CDC reports 20–25 deaths per year, potentially underreported by 10x, with effectiveness as low as 25%. COVID vaccines: Adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare blood clots; media coverage downplays risks and avoids full disclosure. Tara emphasizes informed consent, questioning medical guidance, and reviewing CDC data critically. Domestic Security & Policy Failures: Terror incidents in the U.S., including individuals with Hezbollah contacts, highlight gaps in immigration and gun enforcement policies. Straw purchasing loopholes and DOJ enforcement failures contributed to weapons ending up in criminal hands. Biden-era policies are analyzed as exacerbating domestic vulnerability to terrorist threats. Political Context & Strategy: U.S. global strategy is reshaping alliances, constraining Iran, and influencing energy flows. Trump's moves in energy, military readiness, and sanctions highlight contrasts with prior administration policies. Changes affect global power structures, including NATO, Russia, China, and Latin America, creating a pivotal historical inflection point. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel's multi-front operations in Lebanon and Iran Strategic implications of potential U.S. limited ground operations in the Middle East Global oil markets and Russian sanctions reversal Vaccine safety, CDC reporting, and public awareness Domestic security, immigration, and gun enforcement failures Broader geopolitical effects on NATO, China, Russia, and Latin America SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Israel strikes, Iran tensions, global oil shocks

Tara breaks down Donald Trump's warning to NATO, the strategic reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the international chess game with China, Iran, and global oil markets. From U.S. energy independence to exposing allies who refuse to defend their own tankers, this episode uncovers the real story behind the headlines and the media spin. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara analyzes the latest developments in U.S.-Iran tensions and NATO's role—or lack thereof—in the crisis. She explains Trump's call for allies to step up in protecting tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the strategic importance of American-led escorts and the risks of inaction for NATO members. Tara covers Trump's recent energy announcements, including the construction of the largest, cleanest refinery in Texas, and explains how this move strengthens U.S. energy independence while undercutting China's influence in global oil markets. She also debunks media narratives claiming the U.S. had no plan for the Strait of Hormuz, detailing decades-long planning, including insights from the Pentagon, Rand Corporation, and Trump's own 1988 statements in The Art of the Deal. Finally, Tara explores the broader geopolitical implications: how the reopening of the strait under U.S. control preserves the dollar's dominance in oil trade, pressures allies to act, and exposes countries that have relied on U.S. defense funding without contributing. KEY TALKING POINTS Trump warns NATO: step up or face a “very bad future” if Iran tensions escalate U.S.-led escort of tankers through the Strait of Hormuz secures global energy trade Strategic refinery announcement in Texas to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil Debunking media myths: Trump had long-standing plans for Hormuz, dating to 1988 The geopolitical chess game: China, Europe, and Asian countries' roles in energy markets Impact on global oil pricing, the U.S. dollar, and energy independence Exposure of allies who rely on U.S. defense funding but fail to act SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Trump calls out NATO, secures the Strait of Hormuz, and reshapes global energy! Tara breaks down the strategy, media myths, and what this means for allies and oil markets.

While the world focuses on Trump and Iran, Israel is quietly fighting a multi-front war across the Middle East. Tara explains how Israeli operations against Hezbollah, Iranian proxies, and nuclear scientists are preventing a regional explosion—and why their actions are allowing the U.S. to focus on dismantling Iran's core military and energy infrastructure. From intelligence operations to potential U.S. Marines securing Carg Island, this episode breaks down the real strategy unfolding behind the headlines and why this moment could reshape global power, energy markets, and America's role as the world's dominant superpower. SUMMARY In today's episode, Tara highlights the crucial role Israel is playing in the broader conflict with Iran—an effort largely overlooked in media coverage. As U.S. forces strike Iranian infrastructure, Israel is simultaneously engaging Iranian proxies across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and other militant groups funded by Tehran. Tara explains that without Israel absorbing much of the proxy conflict, the United States could already be fighting wars across multiple countries. Israeli intelligence operations, powered by the renowned Mossad network, have targeted Iranian nuclear scientists, military leaders, and regime operatives while drones hunt down regime shock troops block by block. Meanwhile, attention is turning to the strategic objective of Carg Island, the hub of Iran's oil export infrastructure. Military analysts suggest a limited deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines could secure the island—effectively collapsing Iran's economic lifeline by cutting off most of its oil exports. Tara warns that while the U.S. and its allies cannot lose militarily, the greatest threat is the court of public opinion. Any American casualties could become a political flashpoint exploited by critics to halt operations before the regime is fully dismantled. Finally, she explores the global implications: weakening China's access to discounted Iranian oil, shifting alliances in the Middle East, pressure on Russia and Europe, unrest in authoritarian states like Cuba and Venezuela, and a potential turning point that could restore America as the undisputed global superpower. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel fighting Iran's proxy forces across multiple countries Hezbollah strikes and potential Israeli ground operations in Lebanon Mossad intelligence enabling targeted strikes on Iranian leadership Iranian nuclear scientists eliminated to prevent proliferation Drone warfare targeting regime shock troops inside Iran Strategic importance of Carg Island to Iran's oil exports Possible deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines to secure the island Economic collapse risk for Iran if oil distribution is cut off China's weakening influence and internal political purges Global ripple effects: Middle East alliances, Russia, NATO, and energy markets SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB While the world watches Iran, Israel is fighting the war nobody's talking about.

Tara breaks down Trump's warning to NATO over Iran, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and how U.S. energy independence is taking shape with new refineries. From international oil deals to Democrats' alignment with Iran and media misinformation, this episode exposes the stakes for America, allies, and global markets. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara unpacks Trump's message to NATO allies: help escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz—or face consequences. She explains why the U.S. no longer depends heavily on Middle Eastern oil, how new domestic refineries will make energy cheaper, and why most “dumb” policy decisions strangely benefit China. Tara highlights the geopolitical calculus: Trump is calling out specific allies like China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK, while leaving oil-dependent Asian countries out to facilitate energy deals. She explains how controlling Hormuz allows the U.S. to secure dollar-based oil pricing and prevent China's shadow fleet from dominating trade. The podcast also debunks media narratives that Trump had no plan for Hormuz, showing his decades-long strategy and pre-existing military preparations, including missile strikes on Carg Island. Tara emphasizes the risks for U.S. Marines tasked with securing the island, noting how Democrats and media might exploit casualties to weaken the U.S. position. Finally, she explores the energy and economic impacts, comparing current gas prices with Biden-era highs, and highlights how Democrats' political strategy aligns with Iran's interests, while Trump strengthens America's energy independence and geopolitical leverage. KEY TALKING POINTS Trump warns NATO: show up for Hormuz or face consequences U.S. already militarily and economically decimated Iran New Texas refinery to refine light sweet crude, cutting dependence on foreign oil Allies' inaction exposes weakness of NATO and UN commitments Strategic oil deals with India, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines Importance of controlling the Strait of Hormuz for dollar-denominated oil trade Operation Epic Fury: Carg Island strikes, securing military and oil infrastructure Democrats' messaging aligns with Iran's interests; media spreads misinformation Gas prices and energy independence explained SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Trump calls out NATO & Iran allies over Hormuz!

— In this episode of Sykes & Lewis LIVE, we dive deep into the chaos of Trump's second term amid the escalating Iran war.— From symbolic coin changes to authoritarian threats and a messy foreign policy quagmire — here's what we cover:— The New “Trump Dime” Drama — The redesigned dime reportedly drops the olive branch (peace) and keeps only arrows (war). Is this a deliberate message during the Iran conflict, or just on-the-nose symbolism?— Iran War Escalation & Strait of Hormuz Crisis — Trump bombs Iran, claims quick wins, but now begs allies (NATO, China, Japan, UK) for warships to reopen the strait after Iran shuts it down. He's like a toddler who makes a mess and then expects everyone else to pick up the pieces.— War on Dissent & Media Treason Threats — Overnight, Trump sent out a. long “Truth” attacking judges, the Fed, and calling negative war coverage “treason” (death penalty implied). We call it out—words have consequences.— White House Makeover Madness — Trump allies push to replace the historic ionic columns with flashy Corinthian ones (think Mar-a-Lago or Supreme Court style). Is he legacy-building or just pissing on icons? Charlie and I discuss the aesthetic obsession and why it's sparking outrage among architects.— Economic Fallout & Political Blowback — Skyrocketing oil, $4+ gas, stalled growth, affordability crisis. Midterms looming — could the growing blue-wave flip the Senate?— Defiance & Hope — We end on resilience: Keep speaking out, support courageous voices (shoutout to Jimmy Kimmel & Stephen Colbert), use the ballot box, and remember — courage is contagious.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

US President Trump said he ordered a strike that wiped out every military target on Kharg Island, which is where Iran exports nearly all of its oil from, but left the oil infrastructure intact. US President Trump warned that NATO faces a very bad future if US allies fail to assist in opening up the Strait of Hormuz.Trump also said he was expecting China to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz before he travels to Beijing, while he stated that he may delay the trip but didn't say for how long, according to FT.US President Trump's administration plans as soon as this week to announce a coalition to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, although they are still discussing if such operations would begin before or after hostilities have ended, WSJ reported.APAC stocks mostly declined amid cautiousness at the start of a busy week of central bank activity and following the continued conflict; European equity futures indicate a positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.5%.Looking ahead, highlights include Canadian CPI (Feb), US Industrial/Manufacturing Output (Feb), Comments from NVIDIA (NVDA) CEO Huang.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

A CARDBOARD CUTOUT of Mojtaba Khamenei stood in for the real thing at a rally in Tehran this week because Iran's new supreme leader is reportedly in no shape to make public appearances.  According to reports in the Daily Mail and The Sun, Khameini was badly injured in an air strike and may be comatose—unaware he's the supreme leader of Iran. Why would the IRGC elevate a comatose man to this position? Possibly as political cover so they can rule in his name. Whether Mojtaba Khameini is even alive at this point is an open question. Contrary to claims by critics, this conflict has deep historical roots, intertwining with religious and cultural narratives that complicate the straightforward analysis of the situation. As the geopolitical landscape shifts, NATO's role is also under scrutiny. NATO's response is indicative of a larger shift within the organization, as it grapples with internal divisions and external pressures. Keep an eye on potential future conflicts between Turkey, Greece, and Israel—a Greek ally—for control of Cyprus.  We also discuss the UK's current political landscape, where leadership decisions are heavily influenced by domestic pressures, particularly regarding Muslim immigration and cultural integration.

While the so-called big powers of NATO don't have the air capability or the will to cooperate with its allies, Israel does, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “We have a very strong ally in Israel.  We have some unreliable allies in our formal alliance. We should remember that before we start making accusations that the Jews or the Israelis are pulling the strings of American diplomacy and military decision making.”

Barry E. “Butch” Wilmore was raised in Tennessee, where an early fascination with aviation, engineering, and disciplined teamwork set the course for his career. He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical engineering from Tennessee Technological University, along with a master's degree in aviation systems from the University of Tennessee. Before NASA, Wilmore served as a U.S. Navy aviator, test pilot, and squadron officer, accumulating more than 8,000 flight hours and 663 carrier landings in tactical jet aircraft. Wilmore flew A-7E and F/A-18 aircraft during four operational deployments aboard the USS Forrestal, Kennedy, Enterprise, and Eisenhower. He completed 21 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm and also flew in support of Desert Shield, Southern Watch, and NATO operations over Bosnia. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, he contributed to the early development and carrier certification of the T-45 jet trainer, experience that proved critical to his later astronaut duties. Selected as a NASA astronaut in 2000, Wilmore flew three space missions totaling 464 days in space. He piloted STS-129 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis in 2009, delivering critical hardware to the ISS. In 2014–2015, he launched aboard a Russian Soyuz as part of Expedition 41, later assuming command of Expedition 42, spending 167 days in orbit and conducting four spacewalks. Most recently, he commanded Boeing Starliner's first crewed flight in 2024; following an uncrewed return decision, he completed a long-duration ISS mission and returned to Earth in March 2025 aboard SpaceX Crew-9. Wilmore retired from NASA in July 2025 after 25 years with the agency, one of the few astronauts to fly aboard the Space Shuttle, Soyuz, Starliner, and Crew Dragon. He is married to Deanna, with whom he has two daughters, and is known for steady leadership, deep technical skill, faith, and continued commitment to mentorship and STEM outreach.
