Iran's Shahed drone costs $30,000 to build. The US missile sent to destroy it? Up to $4 million. Pulitzer Prize-winning conflict journalist Ben C. Solomon wants you to do the math. Oz sits down with Ben to break down the economics driving the conflict with Iran, why the Pentagon may already be making impossible choices about what to defend, and why Ukraine — largely abandoned by the West — has quietly become the world's leading authority on drone warfare.

Silicon Bites Ep302 | 2026-03-15 | Make it make sense. Iran helped Russia attack Ukraine, but Russia is also providing data to Iran to target U.S. military assets in its confrontation with Iran. Yet Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russia. None of it makes sense, unless we accept that Trump is acting to benefit Russia, whether he is fully conscious of that or not. I'm inclined to believe he knows what he's doing, when he makes decisions that provide strategic advantage to Vladimir Putin. As the war evolved against Ukraine, Russia absorbed drone technology from Iran, the infamous Shaheed, scaled production, and according to Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now supplying Shahed drones back to Iran for use against the United States and Israel. Reuters, quoting Zelenskyy's CNN interview broadcast on March 15, says he called it “100% facts” that Iran has used Russian-made Shaheeds against U.S. bases. Reuters also added an important caveat: not every Shahed used in the region can be cleanly attributed from public evidence, and the exact manufacturer is not always clear. The strongest version of the claim is this: Zelenskyy says Russia is now feeding the very drone ecosystem that Iran once fed into Russia's war on Ukraine. (Reuters)Reports are coming out today even, that claim China is manufacturing drones for use by both Russia and Iran. This is the axis of authoritarians in full alignment on this issue at least. That is one of many grotesque inversions, in an episode where we struggle to make sense of it all.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Reuters, March 15, 2026 — Zelenskyy says Ukraine wants money and technology in return for Middle East drone help.Reuters, March 14–15, 2026 — Zelenskyy says Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones.

En la baptisant « Fureur épique » Donald Trump a fixé un objectif à cette opération : « Défendre le peuple américain en éliminant les menaces imminentes posées par le régime iranien », qualifié de « sponsor d'État numéro 1 du terrorisme ». Ni le caractère « imminent » de ces menaces, ni ce en quoi elles concernent les Etats-Unis n'a été établi.Il y a quatre ans, lorsque la Russie a lancé son invasion massive de l'Ukraine, certains se sont demandé si le monde n'entrait pas dans une troisième guerre mondiale. Avec l'actuelle guerre avec Iran, la même inquiétude refait surface.Cette guerre concerne déjà plus d'une douzaine de pays de la région : Outre l'Iran et Israël, des missiles ou des drones ont frappé les Emirats arabes unis, l'Arabie saoudite, le Qatar, Bahrein, la Jordanie, le Koweit et Oman. Au Liban, les forces terrestres israéliennes poursuivent leurs opérations contre le Hezbollah. À Chypre, Iran a lancé une attaque de drones contre une base militaire britannique. Des missiles balistiques ont été interceptés en Turquie. En Irak, les milices pro-iraniennes entretiennent l'instabilité. Un soldat français a été tué. L'Azerbaïdjan a désormais été touché. Les Iraniens pourraient finir par entraîner le Yémen dans le conflit. C'est, de loin, la guerre du Golfe la plus étendue à ce jour.Zelensky a reconnu qu'une guerre prolongée avec l'Iran pourrait avoir un impact sur les livraisons américaines de munitions pour les systèmes de défense antiaérienne fournis à l'Ukraine par ses alliés occidentaux afin de défendre ses infrastructures essentielles, notamment énergétiques. En quatre ans de guerre, Kyiv a mis au point une gamme d'intercepteurs efficaces, bon marché et considérés comme étant parmi les plus avancés du monde, conçus pour détruire en vol les drones d'attaque Shahed de conception iranienne. Les États-Unis, le Qatar et les Émirats arabes unis ont récemment fait appel à l'expertise ukrainienne pour leur lutte contre les drones iraniens. Face à l'épuisement de leurs stocks de missiles Patriot, les intercepteurs bon marché conçus par Kyiv représentent un atout stratégique majeur pour la sécurité de la navigation.Pour le politologue Frédéric Charillon, en Ukraine ou en Iran, il s'agit de guerres choisies, c'est-à-dire qu'aucune raison immédiate de sécurité nationale n'imposait. Ils en tire d'ores et déjà trois leçons : les alliances ne valent plus rien et la possession de l'arme atomique semble demeurer la dernière garantie de sécurité ; l'Occident n'est plus un facteur de stabilité, sa parole est démonétisée, on regardera donc ailleurs ; enfin l'emploi démesuré de la force par les candidats à l'hégémonie impose de nouveaux partenariats, même contre-nature, pour les contenir.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

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.”

//The Wire//2300Z March 13, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TERROR ATTACKS CONTINUE IN THE AMERICAN HOMELAND. WAR CONTINUES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CRASHES IN IRAQ, NO SURVIVORS REPORTED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Persian Gulf: Last night CENTCOM reported the loss of one KC-135 Stratotanker, which crashed in western Iraq. Rescue operations were conducted immediately, however all six crew members have been confirmed deceased. The incident occurred as a result of a mid-air collision, which involved another KC-135 aircraft that was also damaged.Strait of Hormuz: This morning another commercial vessel was struck while attempting to transit the Strait, which resulted in catastrophic damage to the vessel. The crew abandoned ship, and several crew members remain missing.Turkey: Another ballistic missile was intercepted overnight, as Iranian forces continue to target Incirlik Airbase. This is the third such interception since the war began.UAE: Overnight drone attacks continued to strike Dubai, with the International Financial Center being struck by a Shahed drone yesterday evening.Analyst Comment: Today was also the third day in a row that the UAE has changed their reporting criteria. Social media reports no longer list the total number of drones that impact within their country, with the daily rollup reports instead stating the number of drones and missiles that were "dealt with". Due to the video confirmation of drones impacting within Dubai overnight, these reports are now openly misleading, as the number of successful Iranian strikes remains unreported.-HomeFront-Michigan: Yesterday afternoon a vehicle ramming and small arms attack was reported at Temple Israel, one of the largest synagogues in Michigan. The attack began as a vehicle ramming attack targeting the main entrance to the facility. After the suspect breached the entrance, he exited the vehicle and was engaged by security personnel on site, who neutralized the attacker. Initial reports claim that the suspect also had explosives inside his vehicle, however authorities have not confirmed this yet as the vehicle caught fire during the incident and burned down a substantial portion of the structure, including the suspect. No one but the attacker was killed during the attack.Analyst Comment: The suspect in this case has been identified as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a naturalized US Citizen originally from Lebanon. Some sources claim that he conducted the attack due to to his family being killed in an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in Beirut yesterday, however these claims cannot be independently verified at this time. Either way, the suspect attacked the 12,000-member synagogue on a Thursday afternoon when almost no one was at the facility, which is an indicator that the terrorist did not have much time to plan the attack. More information is expected later on, as forensic analysis of the remains and vehicle debris is conducted.Virginia: Yesterday a mass shooting was reported at Old Dominion University after a terrorist entered a classroom and began targeting students. Local authorities state that a lone gunman entered an ROTC classroom at ODU shortly before 11:00am yesterday morning, first shooting the instructor, who has been identified as LTC Brandon Shah. Immediately after the first shots were fired, the cadets in the classroom mounted a counterattack, using violence of action to subdue the attacker. At some point during the attack one cadet produced a pocket knife which was subsequently utilized in stabbing the attacker to death. The assailant was found dead by police at the scene after being stabbed 22x times.Analyst Comment: The suspect in this case has been identified as Mohamad Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone and former National Guard soldier who had previously been convicted of attemp

La position "purement défensive" de la France dans le conflit va-t-elle évoluer ? Un militaire français a été tué et six blessés ce jeudi 12 mars dans une attaque de drone dans la région d'Erbil au Kurdistan irakien, ont annoncé les autorités françaises, le premier décès pour l'armée française dans le cadre de la guerre au Moyen-Orient. Les autorités ont attribué l'attaque à un "drone Shahed" de conception iranienne, mais n'en ont précisé ni l'origine ni les auteurs, se gardant pour l'instant d'accuser directement l'Iran ou l'un de ses alliés dans la région. Emmanuel Macron a promis de "faire preuve de sang-froid, de calme, de détermination". Dans cet épisode du Choix info RTL, Yohann Tritz analyse ce nouvel épisode de la guerre. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

//The Wire//1700Z March 12, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MEDIA REPORTS MINES LAID IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ. MULTIPLE SHIPS STRUCK BY EXPLOSIVE BOATS IN PERSIAN GULF. THREATS TO AMERICAN HOMELAND REMAIN ELEVATED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Persian Gulf: Last night two tanker vessels were struck by Iranian Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). Two explosive-laden small boats rammed into the side of two oil tankers that were anchored outside the port of Basrah. The two vessels (the M/V ZEFYROS and M/V SAFESEA VISHNU) were conducting ship-to-ship operations near the Basra Oil Terminal when both vessels were struck by remotely-controlled explosive boats. Several hours later, a third vessel was struck by a drone in the southern Persian Gulf, off the coast of Jebel Ali.Strait of Hormuz: This morning many mainstream media sources have cited closed-source reporting claiming that Iranian forces have indeed mined the Strait. An estimated 10x mines have been laid, with some reports stating that potentially dozens of mines have been laid throughout the choke point.Analyst Comment: So far, there's not much we can do with off-the-record reports citing unknown sources. However, considering the concerns over the past few days, it's possible that the Iranians have laid a few strings of mines, even though doing so would likely harm their relationship with China. Where these mines are located, is anyone's guess. But if the Iranians can continue successful targeting efforts with remotely-piloted small boats, it would not be that much of a jump to assess that they can probably place a few mines as well.Middle East: Around the region, attacks on American installations and positions continue. Al Dhafra Airbase was struck this morning, and more substantial drone strikes were reported throughout Dubai overnight. Most of the munitions were intercepted, but the Address Creek Harbor hotel was hit by a Shahed drone early this morning. In Bahrain, hotels and other sites continue to be targeted by Iranian drones, in addition to oil infrastructure throughout the island nation which has been targeted several times since the start of this conflict.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday afternoon, multiple mainstream media outlets began broadcasting claims of an alleged plot for Iranian forces to attack the American homeland. Specifically, claims have been made that Iranian forces may attempt to launch drone attacks on California from ships off the west coast. No substantial information or context has been provided beyond that initial leak.As of right now, this is a giant game of telephone. The report probably came from the FBI, was passed to various police departments as a Law Enforcement Sensitive document, and was subsequently leaked to the media (without posting the actual source document). For context, the "Iranian drone ship off our coast" attack vector has been theory for so many years that in intel circles it's more of a thought experiment that is used to teach concepts. For many, many years, this theory has not been considered a serious threat, simply because Iranian forces do no have the naval capability to sustain combat operations off the American west coast. A subset of this thought experiment is the theory of some malign actor (in this case, the Iranians) using containerized drone launchers concealed onboard legitimate containerships, which would launch without notice. This theory is vastly more likely, and has been confirmed to not just be possible, but operationally effective, as demonstrated by Ukraine's Operation SPIDER WEB last year. However, Iran does not have the same capabilities as America-backed Ukraine, so this theory, while possible, still lies in the theoretical realm instead of a direct pending threat. Hopefully more information will come to light regarding what the threats actually

Chuck Todd opens with a grim inventory of an administration besieged on every front as the Iran war enters its twelfth day with no exit strategy in sight. He then pivots to the SAVE Act — the Republican voting bill that has 50 Senate votes but faces a filibuster John Thune admits he likely can't break. He walks through the details that go well beyond simple voter ID: the bill requires documentary proof of citizenship to register, treats women who change their name through marriage as first-time voters, and Trump is demanding additions including a near-total ban on mail-in voting — turning what polls show is an 80%-popular concept into a toxic package that could disenfranchise millions. He notes that John Cornyn flipped his filibuster position to chase Trump's Texas endorsement, warns that if Republicans nuke the filibuster and Democrats later win the Senate they won't restore it, and argues that Republicans are essentially writing legislation to make Trump's false fraud claims real — while Trump is already setting up the SAVE Act's inevitable failure as his preemptive excuse for midterm losses that have nothing to do with voting rules and everything to do with an unpopular war, a tanking economy, and a completely unserious leader running the Pentagon. Ultimately, he argues that partisan changes to voting rule destroy trust in democracy, whether it be the SAVE Act, or Democrats efforts to pass HR1. Then, Fiona Hill — who served on the National Security Council under three presidents and became a household name during Trump's first impeachment — joins the Chuck ToddCast for a deeply alarming assessment of the Iran war now entering its second week, with Operation Epic Fury having metastasized into a multi-front conflict spanning nine countries, oil prices surging past $100 a barrel, and hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded across the Middle East. Hill dismantles the geopolitical chessboard with surgical precision, explaining that while there is no formal alliance between Russia and Iran and that the relationship is deeply transactional, with Iran having provided Russia with Shahed drones and helped build a drone factory. She argues that China is letting the U.S. "rope-a-dope" itself, sitting back alongside Russia to watch America bleed resources and credibility in yet another Middle Eastern quagmire. She flags the glaring double standard in the administration's diplomacy: envoy Steve Witkoff refused to take the Iranians at their word during nuclear negotiations in Geneva but accepted Russian assurances at face value. The conversation turns existential as Hill warns that Trump's adventurism — which never faced serious consequences through Venezuela or the June 2025 strikes that made Iran look like a paper tiger — has now collided with reality. Trump saw the opportunity to kill Khamenei and took it, hoping for either a popular uprising or a pliant successor, but none of those hopes have materialized. Hill calls it an Afghanistan-and-Iraq-level jam with even less global credibility.. They raise the chilling question of whether Xi Jinping might prioritize seizing Taiwan while America is overextended, observes that NORAD doesn't function without Canada and the Nordic countries that Trump has alienated, warns that the damage to America's reputation will last decades, and notes that individual U.S. states are already setting up their own diplomatic representation with foreign countries to fill the vacuum. They close with a striking contrast: unlike Russians, Americans can still vote their way out of tyranny — but the window in which that remains true may be narrowing, as we are likely entering a post-American empire period.

Mientras las tensiones con Estados Unidos e Israel aumentan y el estrecho de Ormuz vuelve a situarse en el centro del tablero geopolítico, muchos analistas se preguntan si Occidente entiende realmente cómo funciona la defensa iraní.En este vídeo analizamos en profundidad la doctrina mosaico de Irán, una estrategia militar diseñada para resistir incluso si el mando central del país colapsa. Un sistema descentralizado que divide el territorio en 31 mandos autónomos de la Guardia Revolucionaria, capaces de actuar de forma independiente y coordinar guerrillas, drones y misiles.También exploramos:• Cómo funciona la Guardia Revolucionaria iraní (IRGC)• El papel de la milicia Basij en caso de invasión• Las misteriosas “ciudades de misiles” subterráneas ocultas bajo montañas• Por qué los drones Shahed están cambiando la guerra moderna• La estrategia iraní de guerra asimétrica de bajo costeIrán ha apostado durante años por una guerra diferente: menos tecnología cara, más saturación, descentralización y resistencia. Un modelo que ya hemos visto en Ucrania y que podría redefinir cómo se libran los conflictos del siglo XXI.¿Está Occidente preparado para este tipo de guerra?En este análisis del Cascarón de Nuez desentrañamos las claves militares, estratégicas y tecnológicas que explican por qué Irán es mucho más difícil de doblegar de lo que parece.

For more than 10 days, Iran has used Shahed drones to target American bases, killing U.S. troops and hitting civilian infrastructure facilities. But long before they flew across the Middle East, Shaheds fired by Russia targeted Ukrainian troops and infrastructure. Special correspondent Jack Hewson reports from Kharkiv, where he spoke with frontline forces who have experience facing the drones.

Now that the Shahed drone threat has arrived in the Middle East, the U.S. and Arab allies have formally requested Ukraine's help. This week, Ukrainian troops have arrived to begin their training.

On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomic Aeronautical Systems, Dr. Eugene Rumer, the director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the implications of the US-Israel war on Iran on Moscow; how Washington should respond to Moscow's sharing of intelligence to help Tehran strike US forces and allies in the region; update on Russia's war on Ukraine as Kyiv works with allies and partners to develop capabilities to better defend itself; the message lifting of US energy sanctions on Russia would send and how such a move would improve Moscow's financial prospects; Ukraine's pledge to help Washington and allies better defend themselves against attack drones like Iran's Shahed; whether US operations worldwide including in Venezuela and Iran bolster Washington's hand in negotiating with Moscow; Lithuania's assessment that Russia is increasing forces on NATO's borders; and Russia's efforts to fight corruption.

Mentre si intensificano i bombardamenti contro l'Iran e il Libano, i protagonisti di un altro conflitto, Volodymyr Zelensky e Vladimir Putin osservano e studiano la prossima mossa. Così, da una parte, Putin sente il suo omologo americano al telefono e attende di trarre vantaggio dallo stop alle limitazioni sull'acquisto del petrolio russo, mentre Zelensky offre droni ed expertise ucraino ai Paesi del Golfo colpiti. Ne parliamo con Valeria Rando, giornalista freelance a Beirut, Paolo Magri, presidente del comitato scientifico di Ispi, e con Micol Flammini, giornalista del Foglio e autrice di "La cortina di vetro. Vecchie paure e nuovi confini. L'Europa dell'est oltre il passato sovietico" (Mondadori).

It may be painful to admit, but Iran's Shahed-136 drone is likely the state-of-the-art weapon for the mid 2020's: simple, effective and CHEAP. There was a time when the Pentagon would not have stooped to produce something so basic. But Pete Hegseth's War Department isn't too proud to learn one of history's most important lessons: when the enemy has a better weapon than you do, don't deny it. COPY IT. Meet the SpektreWorks (!) LUCAS clone!

After the US and Israel attacked Iran, Tehran's strategy of asymmetric warfare is clear: it closed the Strait of Hormuz and is attacking energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf, causing global oil and natural gas prices to skyrocket, crashing stock markets, fueling inflation, and provoking an economic crisis that will hurt the USA and its allies. The conflict has also become a battle of attrition. Iran is using cheap missiles and drones to deplete the defense interceptors of neighboring countries, which will be very difficult to replace, due to deindustrialization, despite Trump administration efforts to boost production. Ben Norton explains.

In this episode, Dale and Christophe break down the U.S. Navy's role in Operation Epic Fury — the massive American military campaign launched against Iran on February 28, 2026. From the decades of tension that set the stage, to the opening Tomahawk salvo, the systematic destruction of the Iranian Navy, and the debut of revolutionary new drone technology, this episode covers the full naval picture of one of the most significant military operations in a generation.Note: Everything discussed in this episode reflects what has been publicly reported as of early March 2026. Details may be updated or corrected as more information becomes available. Some cost figures are modeled estimates from think tanks, not confirmed Pentagon data. Operational details — including submarine deployments, munitions counts, and targeting specifics — reflect only what officials have chosen to disclose publicly.The episode opens with the 45-year history of U.S.-Iran tensions that made Operation Epic Fury inevitable — from the 1979 hostage crisis, to the IRGC's systematic harassment of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, to the 2019 tanker attacks, to Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025, when the U.S. struck Iran's nuclear facilities using B-2 stealth bombers and submarine-launched Tomahawks.From there, Dale and Christophe walk through the full naval order of battle assembled for Epic Fury — the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike groups, fourteen Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, three littoral combat ships, and an undisclosed number of submarines operating across the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the eastern Mediterranean — and explain why the geographic positioning of each asset was as strategic as the assets themselves.The episode then dives into the opening Tomahawk campaign, the systematic destruction of the Iranian Navy — including the first sinking of an enemy vessel by U.S. torpedo since World War II — and Iran's massive retaliatory barrage of 500+ ballistic missiles and 2,000+ drones in the first four days of the war. Dale and Christoph examine how the Navy's Aegis missile defense systems held the line, and why the sustainability of interceptor stockpiles is one of the most pressing strategic questions hanging over the operation.The second half of the episode covers the combat debut of LUCAS — the $35,000 drone reverse-engineered from Iran's own Shahed-136 — and the critical but largely invisible role of the EA-18G Growler in clearing the electronic path over Iranian airspace. The episode closes with a hard look at the economics of the operation, the shift to Phase 2 targeting Iran's missile production industrial base, and what Operation Epic Fury reveals about the future of American sea power — including the vulnerabilities it has exposed along the way.Email us at usnavyhistorypodcast@gmail.com, find us on X at @USNHistoryPod, and join the conversation on our Discord server — https://discord.gg/bJ9Q5vXE.

//The Wire//2300Z March 5, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MERCHANT VESSEL STRUCK BY EXPLOSIVE FASTBOAT IN PERSIAN GULF. DRONE AND MISSILE ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT AMONG GULF STATES. DRONE STRIKES REPORTED IN AZERBAIJAN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Persian Gulf: Attacks on merchant shipping continue as an oil tanker that was anchored off the coast of Kuwait was struck by Iranian forces overnight. The vessel has been identified as the M/V SONAGOL NAMIBE, an oil tanker that is currently anchored in the group of vessels that are waiting for the risks in the Strait to subside.Analyst Comment: Turns out, in such a small waterway, it's just as dangerous to remain at anchor. This strike is also different from the rest, as video evidence confirms that this was the result of a (possibly remote-controlled) Iranian fastboat conducting a strike on the vessel. For context, the Iranian Navy is split into two parts, the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN), which is the more traditional navy comprised of Line ships, and the Islamic Republic Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN). The majority of the IRIN has mostly been sunk over the past few days, however the smaller "speedboat navy" of the IRGC-N was created solely for the purpose of conducting asymmetric warfare, and is likely the culprit of this attack. As there are a few dozen other tankers parked immediately adjacent to the one that was struck, it is likely that more of these attacks will take place, as long as the IRGCN is able to.Iran: Within the mainland itself, the large-scale bombing of Tehran and other major population centers continues alongside the bombing of most military bases throughout the country. Yesterday Israeli forces shot down an Iranian YAK-130 training aircraft, which had somehow managed to get airborne, and drone attacks launched by the Iranians continue as before.Azerbaijan: Iranian forces launched a drone attack on the airport in the border town of Nakhchivan. The main terminal was hit by Shahed-type drones, and another undisclosed location in Shekarabad was also struck.Analyst Comment: This is noteworthy as Azerbaijan was one of Iran's only regional allies. As a result, Azerbaijan has demanded an apology, and diplomatic relations are not great as two people were killed during the strikes on the airport. Officially, the Iranians have denied that they carried out the attack, stating that it was a false flag incident.-HomeFront-Utah: Overnight a killing spree was reported spanning multiple counties, involving multiple casualties. The incident began after an assailant murdered an elderly victim in Lyman. The attacker then stole her vehicle, and traveled to a hiking trailhead in Wayne County, where he murdered two women on the trail. This prompted a state-wide manhunt, which located the suspect after he had fled the scene, with the assailant eventually being located and arrested. As the suspect was arrested over the border in the state of Colorado, he has been identified as Ivan Miller.Analyst Comment: At the moment, this appears to be a series of random murders, as none of the victims (nor the perpetrator) appears to have any connection to any sort of motive, other than random mental illness. More details are expected to emerge as the investigation continues.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: European evacuations of European citizens from the Middle East continues, with Spain dedicating military assets to getting some of their citizens out of the region over night. So far, zero Americans have been evacuated via American military means (which have the capabilities to fly when civilian aircraft cannot), and any American who has managed to get out has done so via commercial means. Commercial flights out of Dubai and Riyadh are occurring, they're just slow due to the sheer number of people trying to leave and the few aircraft landing between

It's the seventh day of the US-Israeli war with Iran and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said America is about to dramatically increase the amount of firepower over the country as the military campaign moves into the next phase.On today's episode, Venetia takes a step back and looks at what has been achieved so far over one week of war. She is joined by Col. Simon Diggins, a former British Army Officer who has served in the Middle East, and Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute.They discuss how much progress America has made with its stated objectives, whether Iran is running out of missiles or holding them back, the Shahed drone problem, what's left of the Iranian navy and why regime change still seems a distant prospect for now.Plus, two arguments for and against the UK becoming militarily involved - is it Keir Starmer's moral duty or does Britain have nothing relevant to offer?Read Iran war, day seven: Everything you need to know: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/06/iran-war-day-seven-everything-you-need-to-know/Read Trump to use British bases for ‘surge' in Iran attacks: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/06/trump-to-use-british-bases-for-surge-in-iran-attacks/Producer: Sophie O'SullivanExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

The warship HMS Dragon is now not expected to leave for the Mediterranean until next week to begin its mission to defend a British military base in Cyprus from attacks by Iran. The ship is one of six Type 45 air defence destroyers in the Royal Navy and one of three that aren't currently out of service. It is well-equipped to deal with Iran's Shahed-type drones, so why has it taken so long to send it to the region? Niall speaks to defence analyst Tom Sharpe, who also spent 27 years in the Royal Navy, about the military capabilities of HMS Dragon, the state of the Navy currently, and when the warship might finally arrive in the Med.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 189-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 33,484 on turnover of $9.9-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan rebounded sharply Thursday, posting the fifth-largest single-day gain on record, as bargain hunters returned after reports the United States and Iran could enter negotiations eased geopolitical concerns. Among major technology stocks, chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose 1.88 percent to close at $1,900 NT, and other large-cap tech firms also advanced. Memory-related stocks staged a strong rebound as well, while shipping stocks moved in the opposite direction. Analysts say investors will continue to monitor developments in the Middle East, including the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, while the long-term growth outlook for Taiwan's artificial intelligence supply chain remains intact (完好) despite potential technical corrections. Taiwan signs double taxation pact with Tuvalu Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung has signed an agreement to avoid double taxation and donate funds to cover the maintenance costs of Tuvalu's first undersea cable. Lin is currently visiting Tuvalu as a special envoy of President Lai Ching-te. According to the foreign minister, the agreement was signed during a banquet hosted by Tuvalu's Prime Minister Feleti Teo, and is expected to boost trade and encourage Taiwanese investment in Tuvalu. Lin also donated funds to cover the maintenance costs for Tuvalu's first undersea cable, to help ensure (確保) the country's communications resilience during the banquet. Lin and his delegation arrived in Tuvalu on Wednesday on what is his third trip to the Pacific ally. Ukraine Sharing Expertise on Shahed Drones Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States and its allies in the Middle East are seeking Ukraine's expertise in countering (對抗) Iran's Shahed drones. Zelenskyy says various countries, including the United States, have approached Ukraine for help in defending against the Iranian drones. He said he has spoken in recent days with the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait about possible cooperation. Russia has fired tens of thousands of Shaheds at Ukraine since it invaded its neighbor just over four years ago. Iran has responded with the same type of drones to joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. Pentagon officially labels Anthropic a supply chain risk The US Defense Department has formally labelled (標記為) the artificial intelligence firm Anthropic a supply chain risk, following a dispute over its efforts to limit how the government could use its products. Anthropic has said it intends to challenge the label in court. Ira Spitzer reports from San Francisco. Cuba Power Outage Continues Swaths of Cuba remain without power nearly a day after a massive blackout hit the western part of the island in the latest outage blamed on a fragile (脆弱的) electric grid and a lack of fuel. Crews worked overnight to repair a broken boiler at one of Cuba's largest thermoelectric plants. Officials have warned that it could take three to four days for power to be fully restored. State media reported on Thursday that 52% of customers in Havana have power, as well as 30 hospitals and 10 water supply stations. That was the I.C.R.T.

C'est le Washington Post qui pose la question de la résistance de l'Iran. Le quotidien américain fait le bilan d'une (presque) première semaine de combats : « La campagne aérienne américano-israélienne contre l'Iran a décimé les plus hauts échelons du pouvoir politique et militaire, détruit des infrastructures de commandement et de contrôle militaires essentielles ainsi que des capacités de combat, et endommagé des bâtiments civils à travers tout le pays ». Pour autant, remarque le Washington Post, « la structure dirigeante de Téhéran est restée étonnamment résiliente (…) Malgré l'intensité des frappes et des destructions, aucune défection significative au sein du régime, ni aucun soulèvement populaire n'ont été signalés à ce jour ». Le quotidien américain cite les propos de Gregory Brew, spécialiste de l'Iran au sein du groupe Eurasia, qui analyse ainsi la situation : « Les Iraniens savent qu'ils ne peuvent pas vaincre la plus puissante armée du monde, mais grâce à la guerre asymétrique, ils peuvent tenter d'infliger un maximum de dégâts aux États-Unis, pour les contraindre à une désescalade ».  Drones Le Parisien remarque, lui aussi, que le régime iranien est loin d'être vaincu. « Comment Téhéran résiste avec une riposte "low-cost" »,  titre le quotidien, « les drones iraniens Shahed s'acharnent sur les monarchies du Golfe et mettent les États-Unis en difficulté ». Le Parisien partage l'analyse du Washington Post : « Les deux camps poursuivent des objectifs différents, à la hauteur de leurs moyens, l'un veut éliminer son adversaire, l'autre tente de l'épuiser ». Téhéran mise donc sur ses drones, qui mettent en difficulté les Américains et leurs alliés. Au point, souligne le quotidien allemand die Welt, que « les États- Unis demandent de l'aide aux Ukrainiens ». En effet, les Ukrainiens sont devenus experts en matière de drones Shahed iraniens, puisque ce sont ceux que la Russie utilise contre eux. Savoir-faire Selon die Welt, il y a en la matière un « problème que seuls les Ukrainiens ont, jusqu'à présent, su résoudre. » Car si les États-Unis savent « abattre un drone Shahed », explique le quotidien allemand, « ils ignorent comment en détruire des centaines, sans se ruiner ». En effet, un drone Shahed « coûte seulement entre 30 000 et 50 000 dollars, assure die Welt, « un missile intercepteur Patriot coûte, lui, environ trois millions de dollars ». D'où le risque de « perdre une guerre économique, une guerre que même les riches États du Golfe ne sont pas prêts à mener », explique le quotidien allemand. Alors sur quoi repose aujourd'hui le savoir-faire des Ukrainiens ?  « Sur des équipements simples, tels des dispositifs de vision nocturne et des mitrailleuses lourdes montées sur des pick-ups », explique die Welt. Savoir faire que Volodymyr Zelensky est donc disposé à partager avec les pays occidentaux et les pays du Golfe. Risque de crise migratoire Cette nouvelle guerre du Golfe risque, par ailleurs, de jeter sur les routes des milliers de réfugiés. Et c'est l'Union Européenne qui s'en inquiète. « Bruxelles s'inquiète d'une nouvelle crise migratoire, tout en refusant de donner dans l'alarmisme », annonce le journal Le Soir. Le quotidien belge explique que « le sujet s'est imposé, hier, lors de la réunion des ministres de l'Intérieur des Vingt-sept. » Mais pour l'instant, « aucun mouvement important n'a été observé aux frontières extérieures de l'Iran », assure Magnus Brunner, le commissaire européen aux Affaires intérieures et aux Migrations.   Pourtant, si l'on en croit le Times, des « Iraniens fraîchement arrivés à Calais, dans le nord de la France, attendent leur tour pour être clandestinement conduits en Grande-Bretagne ». Ils ne sont pour le moment « qu'une vingtaine d'hommes et de femmes », mais ces réfugiés assurent que « beaucoup d'autres sont en route » explique le quotidien britannique. Il s'agit surtout d'Iraniens ayant fui la répression sanglante du mois de janvier, mais, nous dit le Times, « les experts internationaux ont averti que le conflit en Iran pourrait provoquer un afflux de migrants d'une ampleur sans précédent, aux frontières du continent européen ». 

Los drones Shahed 136 y LUCAS son los dispositivos con lo que Irán y Estados Unidos, respectivamente, pelean parte del nuevo conflicto. ¿Pero, cuáles son las diferencias, las ventajas y la capacidad de cada uno? Te explicamos.

Growing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practise her faith. It's a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved. Shahed joins us on the show for a conversation about her new book The Othered Woman: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women.  We discuss the white saviourism and white supremacy that are at the core of white feminism, and how feminist arguments have been used to justify Western colonialism and military intervention. We talk about the politics of the veil, and the ways in Muslim women's oppression, wherever in the world, is usually deemed to be as a result of their religion, and the unique misogyny of Muslim men.

Quatre ans après l'invasion à grande échelle de l'Ukraine par la Russie, les drones ont transformé le champ de bataille. Mais ils ont également amené la guerre jusqu'aux portes de chaque foyer ukrainien. Qu'il s'agisse de petits drones appelés FPV ou des drones Shahed à longue portée, ces engins sont employés afin de terroriser les civils. Dans un reportage spécial en collaboration avec RFI Ukraine, nos Observateurs racontent leur réalité quotidienne.

At the Munich Security Conference, Marco Rubio offered Europe a peace in our time. The Americans sprayed on the charm. But looking between the fine words, it seems like Marco was on his way out the door. Do Europe's friends need to tell her this is a break up speech? Meanwhile, rumours of the destruction of Iran remain premature. We've run the numbers, and it turns out it would take ten per cent of all the Tomahawks in the world to flatten three mullahs and an oil derrick. But with American strike fleets still camped in the Persian Gulf, how does this end? Finally, Hungary was all anyone was talking about backstage at Munich. The Brussels establishment have decided that defeating Orban in his upcoming fourth successive election will bring a massive W in a world drowning in Ls. The polls haven't just tightened - they've actually split. With two sides both predicting victory for their candidate, across a spread of 15 points, what happens when one side wakes up in April to find themselves robbed?

The Education Department's workers union is pushing back after more than 100 technology-related employees lost their collective bargaining protections last month under an executive order citing national security and cybersecurity risks tied to their roles. About 120 employees in the agency's Office of the Chief Information Officer and Federal Student Aid's Office of the Chief Technology Officer were told late last month they no longer had union protections due to the nature of their positions, according to AFGE Local 252, which represents Education Department employees. The notification came nearly nine months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending collective bargaining rights for labor unions at various federal agencies. The order included some agencies in their entirety, along with some positions across the government that have a determined “primary function” involving intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work. While the CTO and OCIO employees work with technology that could have cybersecurity ties, AFGE Local 252 argues this does not involve intelligence work that would warrant such a ban. “The Department of Education does not engage in any intelligence, counter-intelligence, investigative, or national security work,” AFGE 252 President Rachel Gittleman told FedScoop in an interview, suggesting the move is “just a way to strip labor rights of our federal workforce.” The FSA CTO office specifically does “work on technology” and products, but not information resources management, as the order states, Gittleman explained. FSA employees primarily focus on the office's website, income-driven repayment applications, FAFSA, and public service loan forgiveness applications. An American stealth fighter jet shot down an Iranian one-way attack drone in the Arabian Sea Tuesday after it “aggressively approached” a U.S. aircraft carrier “with unclear intent,” according to a statement from U.S. Central Command. Just hours after the shootdown, two Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ships accompanied by another unmanned aerial system — this one an Iranian Mohajer drone — approached a U.S.-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to board and seize the vessel, the statement from Centcom spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said. The dual incidents could spell increased tensions between Washington and Tehran after President Donald Trump threatened military action against Iran over its deadly suppression of protests last month and amid broader nuclear negotiations that could begin this week. The jet, an F-35C Lightning II, launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was transiting the Arabian Sea roughly 500 miles from Iran's southern coast, Centcom said. The Centcom statement did not identify the unit the jet belongs to, but Marine Fighter Attack Squadron-314, the Black Knights, were photographed by the military operating off the Lincoln several days ago. The long-range Iranian drone — a Shahed-139 UAS known for its use in the Russia-Ukraine war and being reverse-engineered into a U.S. military one-way attack drone — “continued to fly toward the ship despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces operating in international waters,” the command said. The F-35C shot it down “in self-defense” and to protect the Lincoln and her crew, according to the statement, which said that no service members were harmed and no American equipment was damaged.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Brandon Weichert. Weichert analyzes how Iranian turmoil affects Shaheddrone production, noting that Russia has already moved toward domestic manufacturing. He suggests that the disruption of Starlink in Iran is not accidental but reflects Russia and China testing anti-Starlink weapon systems, using the Iranian conflict as a strategic testing ground.

John Batchelor and Bill Roggio interview guest John Hardie regarding Russia's strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Hardie highlights the Arashnik missile as a tool for psychological intimidation to deter Western security guarantees.
