Day 1,476.Today, as US envoy Steve Witkoff says “we can take them at their word” after Russia denies sharing intelligence about American forces with Iran – before adding “let's hope they're not sharing” – we examine the latest tensions between Washington, Moscow and Tehran. We also analyse a Ukrainian deep-strike operation that raised fresh questions about Russian air defences after a loitering drone was able to film the attack. Then we bring updates on Ukrainian counterattacks in the south, where two operations now appear to have pushed around 10 kilometres into Russian lines, and hear a final dispatch from Adélie in Ukraine. Later, we speak to former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.With thanks to former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Roland Oliphant.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

breaking NFL free agency news as the New York Giants finally make their move. After missing out on several targets earlier in the day, the Giants land former Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely on a multi-year deal, giving their offense a dynamic new weapon. Evan and Tiki react live to the signing and explain why Likely could be a perfect fit alongside Theo Johnson and young quarterback Jaxson Dart. The guys discuss how the move reflects the influence of the Giants' new coaching staff, why the team had been aggressively chasing players all afternoon, and whether this is the first of several moves coming for Big Blue.

Evan & Tiki all over the first wave of NFL free agency as the Giants and Jets take very different paths. Evan and Tiki break down why the Jets may be waiting to build through the draft while the Giants are under pressure to fill holes right now through free agency. The guys react to the Giants missing on Kenneth Walker before finally getting on the board with Isaiah Likely, and they debate whether Joe Schoen and John Harbaugh are being aggressive enough as big names keep coming off the market. Plus, Evan melts down over the Jets missing out on more quarterback options, the latest on Malik Willis, Michael Pittman Jr., and Kenneth Walker, and a live stream of breaking NFL news keeps changing the conversation by the minute.

The U.S.-led campaign against Iran is off to a decisive start, with over 3,000 targets struck and Iran's military crippled. President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stress that overwhelming air superiority—combined with the Israeli Defense Forces—makes a ground invasion unnecessary. Energy markets spike, but experts and the administration insist it's temporary. Meanwhile, Democrats face criticism for opposing the war despite supporting similar actions in the past. This episode breaks down the military strategy, oil market impacts, and partisan contradictions. Episode Summary The Iran conflict continues with rapid U.S. and Israeli strikes crippling Iranian military and leadership structures. President Donald Trump scores the campaign a “12 to 15,” highlighting near-total destruction of Iran's army, navy, and communications, while dismissing the need for a ground invasion or European support. Secretary Pete Hegseth details the strategic advantage of air superiority and the planned use of conventional munitions—gravity bombs ranging from 500 to 2,000 pounds—to target remaining military assets. Oil prices have surged past $100 per barrel amid the strikes on Iranian depots. Energy Secretary Chris Wright reassures markets that the spike is temporary and driven by fear, not actual shortages. President Donald Trump echoes this, emphasizing that short-term disruptions are a small price to pay for neutralizing Iran's nuclear threat. Meanwhile, political scrutiny mounts at home. Senior Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Richard Blumenthal, criticize the war despite prior support for similar unilateral actions under Obama—drawing accusations of hypocrisy from legal analysts like Jonathan Turley. The episode also highlights the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles half of China's energy exports but only three percent of U.S. oil, reinforcing that current disruptions are manageable for America while sending a warning to global adversaries. Key Takeaways U.S. and Israeli air forces have crippled Iranian military capabilities; ground invasion deemed unnecessary. Over 3,000 Iranian targets hit in the first week of the campaign. Oil prices spike above $100 per barrel, driven by fear, not supply shortage; expected to normalize. President Donald Trump emphasizes strategic benefits outweigh temporary economic discomfort. Democrats face criticism for opposing the war despite supporting similar actions in past conflicts. Strait of Hormuz disruption impacts global markets more than U.S. domestic supply.

(Mar 9, 2026) A year after the end of the illegal "wildcat" strike by thousands of corrections officers, prisons are still understaffed, family visits are limited, and inmates are enduring the consequences. We look at the crisis facing New York's prison system as taxpayers continue to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into paying the National Guard to step in. Also: The relationship between the North Star Health Alliance and a healthcare consulting group based in Maine has come under scrutiny after a recent court filing.

On this day, 9 March 2020, tens of thousands of women across Mexico went on strike in protest at gender-based violence which kills thousands of women each year in the country.Transport, banking, education and retail were amongst the industries affected by women either staying at home or taking to the streets, under the slogan "Un Día Sin Nosotras" ("A Day without Us").One worker, Isaura Miranda, a biologist, told the New York Times why she took part: “I just realised I had to do something… I can't carry on with this feeling of rage and impotence over so many deaths that are cruel, without dignity… Also, I don't want my daughter to go out one day and never come back again."Support for the action was so widespread that many large corporations and government departments were pressured into agreeing not to discipline women who took part in the action.Mexico's left-wing president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, blamed "past neoliberal policies" for endemic violence against women, 10 of whom are murdered each day, and accused right-wing opponents of helping organise the strike.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10925/mexico-women's-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Chris Cuomo brings together key moments from this week's Cuomo Mornings on SiriusXM, featuring conversations with former National Security Adviser John Bolton and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), along with calls from listeners reacting to America's growing conflict with Iran.Bolton lays out why he believes regime change in Tehran is the only viable path to eliminating Iran's nuclear threat and explains where he thinks the Trump administration's political strategy has fallen short. Cuomo presses him on the risks of a power vacuum, the role of Kurdish groups inside Iran, and whether the U.S. has prepared for what comes after the regime.Lawler defends the administration's decision to strike Iran, arguing the regime posed an untenable threat and that the president acted within his authority. Cuomo challenges him on congressional oversight, the risk of another long war in the Middle East, and what lawmakers were actually told in classified briefings.Callers also weigh in on the war, from veterans concerned about another Iraq-style conflict to listeners debating whether regime change is the right goal and what the real strategy should be moving forward.

On this day, 8 March 1922, seamen in Hong Kong and Canton (now Guangzhou) won pay rises of 15-30%, ending their strike which began in January. The British colonial government had declared the strike illegal, brought in the army and tried to use scabs from the Chinese mainland, and forced labour to break the strike. But the strike spread, was joined by rail workers, dockers, cooks and servants, and workers set up an armed militia to blockade food to the island by rail or sea. Eventually bosses were forced to cave in. They did not agree to a union shop, but they gave substantial pay rises, legalised the Seaman's Union, freed imprisoned strike leaders and back paid half pay to workers for the strike days. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10828/hong-kong-seamen's-strike-endsOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

The IDF said it was targeting Iranian-linked commanders, in the first strike on the centre of Lebanon's capital since the conflict began. Journalist Kareem Chehayeb spoke to Corin Dann from Beirut.

Tucker Carlson has been vocal in recent days about escalating tensions with Iran, releasing a March 3 episode on the Tucker Carlson Network titled “Pure Insanity” – Who Benefits From Bombing Iran?, where he questions the motivations behind potential U.S. involvement, arguing it serves regional powers like Israel more than American interests. The YouTube video has garnered over 406,000 views, sparking debates on foreign policy and national sovereignty. On March 6, Carlson appeared on Breaking Points with Saagar Enjeti, discussing the devastating costs of war and its implications for American politics, drawing 143,000 views and highlighting cracks in Trump's MAGA base as figures like Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Matt Walsh criticize Iran strikes, according to Barchart reports.His Tucker Carlson Network continues to expand with regular deep-dive interviews, including recent ones on government secrecy with Rep. Tim Burchett and critiques of Trump's immigration enforcement tactics in cities like Chicago. Carlson's sharp challenges to allies, such as pressing Sen. Ted Cruz on biblical justifications for U.S. Israel support and slamming Attorney General Pam Bondi over free speech curbs tied to Charlie Kirk's death, have fueled internal conservative rifts. Reports from The Independent note MAGA influencer Laura Loomer accusing Carlson of pro-Islamic bias while advising Trump on disloyal figures.Reactions are polarized: conservative supporters hail him as a free speech defender and counter to establishment media, while critics from the Anti-Defamation League and rivals like Nick Fuentes decry his eulogy remarks at Kirk's memorial as antisemitic overreach. No major legal or professional developments have emerged, but his influence shapes right-wing discourse, with ongoing fundraising for a subscription platform positioning him as a key media entrepreneur.Carlson's interactions, from feuds with Fuentes and Owens to buzzworthy sits-downs like with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger on platform reliability, underscore his role in polarized debates on media ethics, extremism, and U.S. priorities.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast, and don't forget to subscribe.

But inside defense circles, a phrase began circulating as events unfolded:Day One: Israel. Day Two: America.Not poetry. Not propaganda. Architecture.What the public is witnessing is not a sudden eruption of conflict but the activation of a force structure assembled deliberately over weeks, even months. The strikes now unfolding across Iran are part of a coordinated campaign following a recognizable modern doctrine: suppress detection, establish dominance, then apply decisive force.The United States and Israel have launched coordinated strikes against Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure under a joint operation described by officials as a preemptive effort to neutralize Tehran's nuclear threat, following a massive regional military buildup.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Israeli journalist and geopolitical analyst Haviv Rettig Gur to unpack the deeper forces behind the Iran war, the growing confrontation between the United States and China, and the shifting alliances across the Middle East.We begin by addressing a claim circulating in American politics: that Israel “dragged” the United States into the conflict with Iran. Haviv explains why that narrative misunderstands the strategic reality, arguing that Iran had become a key component of China's long-term geopolitical strategy against American power.Our conversation explores how Iranian negotiations over its nuclear programme may have been used to buy time while missile capabilities and military infrastructure were expanded underground with Chinese assistance. We examine the intelligence operation that allegedly led to the attempted strike on Ali Khamenei, the strategic timing of American forces entering the region, and why the conflict escalated when it did.From there, we widen the lens to the global chessboard: China's dependence on Middle Eastern oil, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and how Iran's partnership with Beijing may have given China leverage over global energy routes in the event of a confrontation over Taiwan.We also examine the unexpected alignment emerging across the Arab world, where several Gulf states increasingly view Iran as a destabilising revolutionary power rather than a partner against Israel. The discussion turns to what the Middle East might look like if the Iranian regime weakens or collapses, and whether regional power could shift toward countries like Turkey or Saudi Arabia.Finally, we discuss the role of international law, the limits of global institutions, and whether the world is entering a new era of great-power politics defined less by legal frameworks and more by raw strategic power.A wide-ranging conversation about war, geopolitics, and the emerging global order.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/the-secret-plan-behind-trumps-iran?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction01:51 The “America First” Conservative Split on Israel05:00 Why This War Is Bigger Than Israel06:25 Iran as a Strategic Asset for China07:32 How the War Actually Began09:18 The Strike on Khamenei and the Start of the War11:10 Why Iran Was Never Negotiating in Good Faith13:09 Iran's Nuclear Program: Weapons, Not Energy15:00 How Obama's Deal Changed Iran's Calculus18:16 The Lessons of the 12-Day War20:08 Why This Is America's War Too23:18 The China–Iran Strategic Alliance25:39 Oil, Sea Lanes and Global Power27:30 Why Iran Became a Target in America's China Strategy34:15 China, Trade Routes and Global Hegemony37:11 The Arab World's Quiet Alignment Against Iran43:09 Who Fills the Power Vacuum if Iran Falls?48:57 The West, China and the Future Global Order54:12 Is International Law a Mirage?

On this day, 6 March 1974, UK coal miners called off their four-week strike after accepting a 35% pay offer in a massive victory, which had already brought down the Conservative government.The Conservatives had introduced regulation to limit pay increases to 7%, at a time when inflation was between 9 and 10%, and miners' basic pay was unable to cover the cost of living without adding considerable overtime hours. In November miners launched an overtime ban, after which the government implemented a three day week, restricting the functioning of industry and introducing rolling power cuts, in order to conserve coal to be able to withstand a potential strike. The government offered a pay increase of 16.5%, but this was rejected by the miners. When the National Union of Mineworkers launched a ballot for strike action, the Conservatives called a general election under the slogan "Who governs the country?" Meaning was that the government, or the unions. After the strike began, the Conservatives then lost the election, and the pay board recommended a 29% pay increase. The new Labour government agreed to implement a deal equating to a 35% increase, and the strike ended. The Trades Union Congress promised the government that it would not support strikes by other workers to achieve similar pay increases, and that union leaders would use their influence to reduce workers' pay demands.Learn more about the dispute in our podcast episode 81: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e81-miners-strikes-1972-4/Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Striking out when looking for birds is frustrating. But a bad day of birding can teach you a lot. Try doing some research into the conditions that day and talking to people that know about birds in your area – they'll probably commiserate with their own stories about striking out.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol and police reporter Charlie Summers join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following the deadly strike on Sunday that killed nine people in Beit Shemesh, Sokol and Summers discuss the shock and mourning in the centrally located city with a strong Haredi enclave. Purim celebrations and revelry continued in some parts of Beit Shemesh, report the pair, as some synagogues flouted the Home Front Command directives regarding gatherings, while others reflected a somber, cautious mood. Sokol takes a moment to update us on matters in the Knesset, where most committee meetings were canceled due to the hostilities, and speculates on whether war with Iran will boost Netanyahu at the ballot box in the upcoming elections. Finally, Summers reports on an end-of-Purim street party in Jerusalem, where police kept a hands-off approach, and the scene of a missile strike in the capital earlier in the week. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

To justify the suspension, the country's telecommunications agency said it observed “content that undermines human dignity, the country's institutions, and national security” on digital platforms, but independent voices condemned the action as an obvious crackdown on dissent. Users of TikTok and Meta's platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people's ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom.

Mike reflects on the aftermath of the U.S. strike against Iran’s regime, arguing the mission dealt a major blow to a brutal government while also sparking an intense debate at home. As some Americans celebrate the weakening of a long-standing adversary and others question whether the conflict serves U.S. interests or Israel’s, Mike explores the divide within conservative media and politics over what comes next. He also shares powerful reactions from Iranians grateful for the strike, honors the sacrifice of American service members, and asks listeners where they stand as the war—and the national conversation surrounding it—continues to unfold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Both President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth expressing disappointment that some traditional U.S. allies are pushing back on the use of force against Iran while Washington presses forward with its campaign against the terror state. The criticism reflects growing frustration inside the administration that while some European capitals have issued statements of support, operational backing has not matched the rhetoric, raising fresh questions about NATO cohesion at a moment of escalation. Spain refused U.S. permission to use certain bases for strikes on Iran, and Turkey has also criticized the operation and warned of broader regional destabilization. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and author of 'The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel―and America―Can Win,' who says the lack of support by longtime allies is surprising, and it could have a large effect on the balance power in the world.

On Wednesday, the U.S. said that its war with Iran has only just begun. The war expanded again as Iran fired a drone into NATO territory, and the U.S. used a torpedo fired by a submarine to sink a warship for the first time since World War II. The U.S. says it has struck more than 2,000 targets and Iran's health ministry says more than 920 people there have been killed. Nick Schifrin reports.

1. Major U.S.–Israel Strike on Iran President Trump ordered a large-scale coordinated U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign on Iran. Over 900 U.S. airstrikes and ~1,200 Israeli strikes occurred within the first day. The attack reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader and several senior Iranian officials. The hosts emphasize that intelligence was “exquisite,” enabling targeted strikes on leadership meetings. 2. Rationale for the Attack (as described by the speakers) Iran is portrayed as: Leading state sponsor of terrorism for decades. Responsible for killing ~1,000 Americans historically. Financing Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Claims that Iran’s nuclear program was being rebuilt after earlier strikes. Trump reportedly consulted senators on Air Force One before the strike. The speakers describe Iran as militarily weakened from a previous “Twelve-Day War.” 3. Expected Global and U.S. Consequences Escalation risk is stressed, particularly: Terror attacks from Iran-backed proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis). Possible retaliation within the U.S. Middle Eastern airspace and the Strait of Hormuz were reportedly shut down amid fears of mines and missile activity. 4. Austin, Texas Mass Shooting Separate event discussed as possibly terrorism-related, though not confirmed. Shooter: 53‑year‑old naturalized U.S. citizen from Senegal. Wore clothing with “Property of Allah” and an Iranian flag underneath. Fired into a crowded bar district; killed 2 victims and was shot by police. Authorities had not yet confirmed motive at the time of reporting; investigation is ongoing. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
