2. Natalie Econo from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) explains why Qatar has been recommended for the Special Watch List (SWL) for religious freedom violations. She notes that while the U.S. views Qatar as a major non-NATO ally and mediator, the country continues to host Hamas and the Taliban. The designation serves as a warning that Qatar's adherence to religious freedom and speech—illustrated by the persecution of a Baha'i leader—is not meeting U.S. criteria. (2)1904 DOHA

It's Tuesday, March 10th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Afghan Christian women are getting raped Open Doors has released a video interview on YouTube of an Afghan Christian woman who tells the real story of what the Taliban is doing to the few Christians remaining in Afghanistan.  Shockingly, Christian women are being raped.  Anybody caught speaking to Christians may be killed.  In fact, a butcher who sold meat to Christians was killed. And the woman's brother-in-law was killed for his faith. In addition, Christians who have fled Afghanistan into Pakistan and Iran now face the threat of deportation back into Afghanistan because the Taliban government has soured relationships with its neighboring countries. China, Russia and America all spending more on military The world is arming up. China hiked its 2026 defense budget to $275 billion — a 10.4% increase year on year. This follows  7% increases over the previous two years —- making for a 25% increase in three years. Meantime, Russia has increase its military budget four-fold since the early 2020s, according to a report from the Center for European Policy Analysis. And the U.S. military budget has seen a 5% increase over the last three years. The latest number for the 2026 defense program is $839 billion.  Iran's nuclear capability inspiring American nuclear-proof bunker sales Fox News reports that Iran has 1,014 pounds of 60%-enriched uranium. That's enough to make 11 nuclear bombs. And it's an increase from 881 pounds of enriched uranium last year, and 194 pounds in 2023. The Telegraph also reports an increase in nuclear-proof bunkers sales here in America. One manufacturer claims his customer base includes two senior-level Trump cabinet members, as well as Mark Zuckerburg of Facebook and Instagram and other elites.  Monthly sales for Atlas Survival Shelters reportedly have bumped up 25-fold this year. Homosexual Australian Education official blasted homeschooling The Australian government may be coming for homeschoolers.  Australia's Assistant Minister for International Education, Julian Hill, a self-avowed homosexual, blasted homeschooling, claiming it threatened “social cohesion.”   Hill stated, “There are reports of quite extreme or conservative curricula being used which gives cause for pause and reflection if this trend continues. What is being taught to these kids? Are they mixing with broader society?” Threats and restrictions against homeschoolers are on the rise both in the United States and abroad. However, homeschooling continues to grow worldwide, and by leaps and bounds in Australia.  Deuteronomy 6:4-7 says, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” New Jersey and Hawaii aiming for homeschoolers The American Left has got homeschooling in its sights as well. New Jersey lawmakers are pushing bills that would add registration, annual notice, evaluations, record keeping, and even yearly “health and wellness” meetings with school officials for homeschool families.   And Hawaiian lawmakers are considering bills that would require homeschool students to take state tests in person at public schools. Trump urged Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act President Donald Trump is refusing to sign any bills that reach his desk until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, passes the Senate. He stressed the need for its passage in his February 24th State of the Union address. Listen. TRUMP: “I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act to stop illegal aliens and others who are unpermitted persons, from voting in our sacred American elections. The cheating is rampant in our elections. It's rampant. It's very simple: All voters must show voter ID.” Though the SAVE Act works to ensure the safety of American elections, it faces a filibuster by Democrats in the Senate, requiring a 60-vote majority to pass. Call both of your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 to vote for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE Act. You can call that number 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 202-224-3121. Jesse Jackson vowed to go further than Karl Marz As The Worldview reported on February 27th, the scandalized Baptist pastor, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, has died. Former presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden attended his funeral over the weekend. Jackson's political career was stymied when he admitted to an extramarital affair and a child born out of wedlock in the early 2000s. The lapsed preacher told the New Yorker Magazine that his adultery was “in the big ledger of sins, a relatively minor offense”, not requiring any leave-taking from ministry.   Jackson was an admirer of Karl Marx, visited Marx's grave, and committed himself to advocating for the redistribution of wealth. Worse yet, he said he wanted to “go beyond” where Marx had stopped. Let's watch out. The Scriptures warn of teachers “having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. … These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” (2 Peter 2:14,17) 57% of Americans never attend church Religious affiliation continues to decline in the United States. According to the latest Gallup polling, a record-breaking 24% of Americans identify with no particular religion, up from 8% in 2005.   Roman Catholic affiliation has also reached its lowest level at 20%. And Protestant affiliation is down to 44%, from a high of 70% in the 1950s. Only 31% of Americans attend church almost weekly now, down from 43% twenty years ago. Sadly, 57% never attend church. That's the highest level recorded in recent history. In addition, only 47% of Americans consider religion as “very important,” down from 52% in 2016 and 70% in 1965.  Gallup's senior editor Megan Brenan explained, “Younger adults are both less likely to identify with a religion and less likely to attend services, reshaping the nation's religious landscape as they constitute a growing share of the population.” Louisiana Governor eager for Ten Commandments to post in classrooms And finally, Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry  is urging Louisiana schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms.  The state passed a law in 2024 that required all classrooms to post a copy of the Ten Commandments, but the law had been blocked by the courts until last month.  In comments on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, Governor Landry said schools have no reason to delay any longer. LANDRY: “It's time for them to go ahead and implement the law. These posters have been donated and have been distributed to our schools. They have no reason not to be able to post them. They don't have to worry about any litigation or legal recourse. The Attorney General will handle any of those types of issues that may come about.” In Deuteronomy 11:18, God said, “Fix these words of Mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.” And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 10th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

When the Taliban captured Herat City in August 2021, Tooba Sarwari had just one thing on her mind: cricket. Would she ever be able to play her beloved sport again? And more pressing, would the Taliban find the evidence of her and her team mates’ sporting achievements? If they did, it would surely spell the end for them and their families. This is the story of how Tooba, and the other members of the Afghan Women’s Cricket Team, risked everything to flee Afghanistan and start a new life in Australia - with the help of some cricketing friends. And how once they were there, they began to rebuilt the team… The Girlfriends: Spotlight is produced by Novel for iHeartPodcasts.

The Iran-Israel conflict is once again reshaping global geopolitics. In this deep-dive podcast, Retired Major General Santosh Kumar Dhakal, engineer and geopolitical analyst Dipak Gyawali, and geopolitical commentator Jason Vaidya analyze the rapidly evolving Iran Israel war, the US role in the Middle East, and the wider geopolitical consequences for the world. The discussion begins with the current Iran-Israel tensions and explores how military strategy, intelligence operations, and regional alliances are influencing the Middle East war. The experts examine whether the Iran Israel conflict could escalate into a larger war, how Israel's security strategy works, and why the United States is deeply involved in Middle East geopolitics. The podcast also covers the Israel-Lebanon situation, the geopolitical history behind the creation of the Taliban and US intervention, and how propaganda and conspiracy theories shape global narratives around war. Another fascinating segment explores the role of Nepali immigrants serving in foreign militaries, national security concerns, and what these conflicts mean for Nepal's leadership and foreign policy. Towards the end, the conversation shifts to global economic implications, including the declining value of the US dollar compared with gold, and how global conflicts reshape financial systems and international power dynamics. If you're interested in global geopolitics, Iran Israel war analysis, Middle East strategy, and international security, this episode provides expert insights from military and geopolitical perspectives.

« Mon espoir est que les portes de l'éducation soient ouvertes aux filles, que chaque fille puisse étudier et choisir un bon et juste chemin pour sa vie. » Aïcha Sana s'adresse à nous depuis la ville de Laghman, à 150 km à l'est de Kaboul. Elle nous dit son espoir de reprendre le chemin de l'école. Depuis le retour des Talibans au pouvoir en 2021, l'éducation des filles au-delà du primaire est de nouveau interdite, et les écoles secondaires pour filles restent fermées. Selon l'Unicef, plus de 2.2 millions d'Afghanes sont exclues des salles de classe.   Mais comment la génération de Sana vit-elle cette privation d'accès à l'éducation ? Et quelle mémoire gardent de l'école les femmes de la génération de sa mère et de sa grand-mère ? À quand remonte la première scolarisation des filles en Afghanistan et comment s'est développée l'éducation pour toutes et tous sous la période communiste ? Autant de questions posées par ma jeune consœur Najeba Arian à celles et ceux qui ont accepté de nous livrer leur témoignage en langues farsi et pachto, pour nous raconter un siècle d'éducation dans leur pays. À l'école des femmes afghanes, c'est un nouvel épisode documentaire de La marche du monde. À découvrir également, le podcast « Africaines Queens », l'histoire des femmes africaines racontée par elles-mêmes.   À l'école des femmes afghanes Un siècle après l'ouverture des premières classes en Afghanistan, les filles rêvent toujours de pouvoir étudier. Et pourtant, la question de l'éducation des filles a été posée dès les années 20 par Sa majesté le roi Amir Amanullah Khan Gazi. Lorsqu'il accède au pouvoir, l'une de ses premières mesures est de créer les conditions nécessaires pour permettre aux filles d'étudier et de travailler. Trois femmes pionnières — Son Altesse Sarwar Sultan (mère d'Amanullah), son épouse la reine Soraya Tarzi, et Asma Rasmia (mère de la reine Soraya épouse de Mahmoud Tarzi, Premier ministre à l'époque d'Amanullah) — vont ouvrir pour la première fois en 1921 une école primaire pour filles, appelée « Maktab-e Mastourat » (École des jeunes filles). Par la suite, cette école primaire a été transformée en lycée, et une école d'infirmières a été ajoutée. Des membres de la famille royale y ont étudié. Cette école a ensuite été renommée « Lycée Malalai ». Cependant, cette initiative a suscité l'opposition de certains milieux conservateurs religieux. Des soulèvements, notamment dans les régions du Sud et de l'Est, ont éclaté sous la direction de God Mullah, le mollah boiteux. Des révoltes ont également eu lieu à Kaboul, qui finirent par aboutir à l'insurrection dite « saqawie ». L'un des principaux arguments avancés contre les réformes d'Amanullah était que le roi serait devenu « mécréant » et qu'il envoyait des jeunes filles afghanes à l'étranger. Pourtant, les familles des jeunes filles envoyées à l'étranger avaient elles-mêmes insisté et donné leur consentement pour partir étudier. Durant la période saqawie, le règne d'Habibullah Kalakani, non seulement les écoles de filles ont été fermées et les départs vers l'étranger interdits, mais des changements ont été également imposés à l'éducation des garçons. Dans une déclaration d'Habibullah Kalakani, la physique, la chimie, les mathématiques et même la géométrie sont qualifiées de matières « impies », et le programme scolaire des garçons a lui été aussi restreint. Si la période saqawie a été une période de réaction conservatrice, le règne d'Habibullah Kalakani a été très court, de janvier à octobre 1929. Et lorsque Sa Majesté Nader Shah lui a succédé, l'espace éducatif a été réouvert… Le début des années 30 est considéré comme le temps du renouveau en Afghanistan. Non seulement des écoles sont créées à Kaboul, mais au-delà dans les provinces… une période dorée pour l'éducation ! Dans la famille de Tahera Shams, née en 1937 à Kaboul et ancienne élève du Lycée historique Malalaï fondée en 1921 à l'initiative de la reine Soraya, l'éducation des filles était une priorité. « Ma mère disait toujours : Lisez, apprenez quelque chose. Moi je suis restée sans instruction, mais vous devez devenir instruites. » Pour Tahera Shams, grande figure de l'activisme communiste afghan, l'époque du roi Mohammad Zaher Shah, entre 1933 et 1973, n'est absolument pas comparable avec la période des Talibans. À cette époque, la plupart des familles faisaient des efforts pour que leurs enfants aillent à l'école et réussissent dans la vie. « Pendant le règne du roi, j'allais normalement à l'école et les femmes étaient libres. Bien sûr, dans les zones rurales il y avait des problèmes, mais à Kaboul la vie était normale, malgré des difficultés économiques. » Ayant démarré sa scolarité à l'âge de 15 ans, Tahera entre à l'Université de Kaboul en 1965. Elle a tout juste 28 ans. Elle veut étudier la médecine, mais sa famille ne le lui permet pas, sachant qu'une femme médecin peut être amenée à travailler la nuit. Finalement, Tahera étudie la littérature persane. « Nous manifestions depuis l'Université de Kaboul. À cette époque, les autorités n'emprisonnaient pas les filles comme aujourd'hui. Les Talibans emprisonnent, torturent et violent les femmes, mais cela n'existait pas à notre époque. » Depuis le retour des talibans en 2021, il est impossible pour les jeunes filles de poursuivre leurs études au-delà de l'école primaire. Une décision justifiée par une interprétation passéiste du Coran, afin de contrôler la vie des femmes et de les séquestrer au sein de leur maison. Mais l'histoire de l'Afghanistan est longue et dans la mémoire collective des Afghanes, dans les récits transmis de grand-mère en petite fille, et de mère en fille, la figure de la femme éduquée existe. Depuis la reine Soraya à l'initiative de la première école pour fille jusqu'aux femmes médecins, ingénieures, professeures ou artistes sous les communistes. « L'esprit général était qu'il n'y avait aucune différence entre les hommes et les femmes, et que les droits des femmes et des hommes étaient presque égaux. Les possibilités d'études étaient très étendues. Les élèves qui obtenaient de bonnes notes étaient envoyés à l'étranger dans le cadre du mouvement des pionniers, en particulier vers les pays de l'Union soviétique. À leur retour, ils étaient ensuite employés en Afghanistan. » Homira Sabawoon est née en 1971. Lorsque l'Union Soviétique envahit l'Afghanistan en Décembre 1979, elle est une petite fille de huit ans. Mais l'occupation n'est pas la guerre et elle garde un souvenir heureux de sa scolarité sous influence soviétique. 10 années pendant lesquelles la résistance intérieure et extérieure des moudjahidines s'organise. Homira Sabawoon a 19 ans lors de la prise de Kaboul le 1er Janvier 1990. Alors qu'elle se prépare à suivre des études dans le domaine des beaux-arts, de la littérature et de la musique, sa vie bascule. « Beaucoup d'histoires de moudjahidines hantent notre mémoire, la plus emblématique est celle de Nahid, la martyre. Lorsque les milices de Abdul Rashid Dostom, célèbre chef de guerre du nord de l'Afghanistan, sont arrivées dans le quartier de Makrorayan pour piller les maisons, ils ont tenté d'agresser sexuellement Nahid. Elle s'est alors jetée du cinquième étage de sa maison. » Loin de Kaboul, les femmes subissaient moins frontalement la violence des exactions menées par les moudjahidines et leurs milices dirigées par des chefs de guerre jusque-là unis contre les communistes au pouvoir et leur soutien soviétique. Des femmes qui ont été massivement scolarisées et émancipées depuis les années 50 comme le rappelle notre spécialiste de l'histoire culturelle afghane, l'écrivain Abdul Ghafoor Liwal.  « En 1971, les progrès ont été tels que, dans une province conservatrice comme Kandahar, des jeunes filles ont participé à des compétitions internationales de basketball et remportèrent même une coupe de victoire. En l'espace de trois décennies, il s'agissait d'un progrès considérable. » Ghafoor Liwal est devenu un très grand poète de langue pachto. Dans ses textes, il n'oublie pas d'évoquer la condition terrible de ses sœurs afghanes privées d'éducation par ce qu'elles sont des femmes. « Lorsque les talibans arrivent au pouvoir en 1996, la guerre sous sa forme précédente a cessé, mais pour notre plus grand malheur, les talibans se sont immédiatement attaqué à l'éducation moderne. Les écoles existaient, mais pour les filles, toutes les possibilités ont disparu. Même l'éducation primaire a été interdite aux filles ; Seuls les garçons allaient à l'école, portant le turban, dans un contexte très difficile après une longue guerre civile. »   Pendant cette première période talibane, la liste des interdictions faîtes aux femmes est infinie. Interdiction d'aller à l'école, interdiction de sortir sans être entièrement recouverte par le hijab et sans être accompagnée d'un homme de la famille, interdiction de travailler et de voter, sans compter les lapidations à mort en place publique pour celles qui selon les Talibans ne respecteraient pas la loi islamique de la Charia. Homira Sabawoon est alors une jeune citadine de Kaboul âgée de 25 ans, grandie dans une famille à l'état d'esprit ouvert et progressiste. Elevée dans l'idée qu'une femme ne peut être véritablement indépendante que si elle possède une autonomie économique, et qu'une femme économiquement autonome ne peut être victime de personne. Homira a toujours cru en la liberté des femmes, convaincue que si elles étudiaient, elles pourraient travailler à l'avenir. C'est ainsi qu'elle crée l'école secrète, d'abord chez elle à Kaboul puis doit s'éloigner de la capitale trop dangereuse pour Laghman où la solidarité des voisons lui a permis d'éviter d'être arrêtée par les talibans. « Je me suis heurtée au problème du manque de livres. Même si je faisais beaucoup d'efforts pour enseigner au tableau. J'avais aussi des élèves qui avaient déjà terminé l'école mais ne voulaient pas perdre la possibilité d'apprendre. Je donnais les cours deux fois par jour : le matin de 10 h à 12 h et le soir après le dîner. Comme toutes les étudiantes étaient soit de jeunes enfants soit des femmes, venir le soir ne leur posait pas de problème. » L'arrivée de la République a été comme « ouvrir la porte de la cage pour un oiseau » se souvient Homira : soudain, la liberté s'est offerte et les femmes ont beaucoup progressé. Un avantage de son enseignement clandestin pour sa propre famille a été que, lors de l'arrivée de la République, sa fille a passé l'examen et a été directement admise en quatrième année, car elle avait reçu un enseignement rigoureux et régulier avec sa mère. Pendant 20 ans, des efforts intenses ont été faits par la République afghane. Tout d'abord, des établissements scolaires ont été construits dans tout le pays, ce qui constitue un grand acquis. Des milliers d'écoles ont été ouvertes afin que des millions de filles et de garçons puissent aller à l'école et à l'université, afin de recevoir un enseignement de haut niveau. Un énorme capital humain pour l'Afghanistan, construit sur plusieurs décennies. Lorsque les Talibans prennent à nouveau le pouvoir, ils trouvent un pays avec un système éducatif fonctionnel et un capital humain. « Malheureusement, cette fois encore, ils ont privé les filles de l'éducation. Cependant, les filles peuvent recevoir l'enseignement primaire jusqu'à la sixième classe, mais au-delà, elles sont exclues. C'est sans aucun doute un recul très dangereux et une injustice majeure contre les filles afghanes. » Une injustice majeure contre les filles afghanes et contre l'Afghanistan tout entière. Quel est l'avenir d'une nation qui détruit ses propres femmes, ses propres mères ? L'écrivain, poète, chercheur et ancien ambassadeur d'Afghanistan en Iran, Abdul Ghafoor Liwal nous rappelle combien les arguments des talibans n'ont aucune validité religieuse ou culturelle. « Le premier argument prétend que l'éducation des filles est interdite par la religion. Cet argument est invalide, car des milliers de savants religieux l'ont rejeté et de grandes institutions religieuses n'ont pas accepté ce récit. L'Islam n'interdit pas l'éducation des filles. Le second argument est culturel : ils disent que la culture afghane ne permet pas l'éducation des filles. C'est faux. Dans la culture afghane, l'éducation des filles a toujours existée, avec des conditions de sécurité et de protection. » Les femmes afghanes sont tributaires des lois féminicides talibanes. Mais comment notre témoin artiste et chanteuse Homira Sabawoon réussit elle à faire face à tant de violence et de négation de sa propre personne ? Pendant combien d'années ses études ont-elles été interrompu et comment a-t-elle trouvé la force de les reprendre en 2015, après la première période talibane, pendant la République ? « Au début, la musique me paraissait un simple passe-temps, mais ces 26 années de pause ont changé mon point de vue. J'en suis venue à penser que la musique est une nécessité pour une société, elle est la nourriture de l'âme, un besoin social et le meilleur moyen de transmettre un message. » Le retour des talibans au pouvoir est très décourageant pour les femmes afghanes. Cependant, Homira n'a pas baissé la tête, en s'appuyant sur ses expériences de résistances passées, à l'époque des moudjahidines, des premiers talibans et maintenant de leur retour. « Les talibans ont fermé les portes des écoles aux femmes en Afghanistan, ils leur ont interdit de travailler… et bien si l'oxygène était sous le contrôle des talibans, les femmes n'auraient même plus le droit de respirer. Mais comme le dit le poète Ghani Khan « Même si je vais au paradis, la vérité est que mon chemin est différent de celui du mollah. » En Afghanistan, l'exclusion des femmes de l'espace publique prive d'éducation plus de deux millions de filles. Le régime taliban met ainsi en péril le destin de toute une nation mais les femmes afghanes résistent et s'organisent à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, avec notamment l'école secrète. Comme nous l'a delà dit la jeune Sana, il s'agit d'envisager l'avenir et de garder espoir. « Mes chères sœurs, ne soyez jamais découragées. Dieu a apporté cette situation et Dieu l'améliorera. Nous ne devons pas perdre notre espoir, car perdre notre espoir, c'est perdre l'espoir de la société, puisque la société se construit grâce aux femmes ».

FULL STREAM### March 2: Outbreak of War and Regional Volatility (1)XERXES I OF PERSIAHeadline: The Fog of War Descends Following US-Israeli Strikes on Iran (2)Summary: This file covers the chaotic initial hours of the war with Iranfollowing significant US and Israeli military strikes. Host John Batchelor and guests analyze the "long war" perspective, noting that while President Trump anticipates a conflict lasting four to five weeks, significant concerns exist regarding the absence of a ground game for regime change. The conflict has caused immediate global economic shockwaves, with oil and natural gas prices spiking as Qatari and Saudi energy production faces Iranian missile and drone threats. Reports of "friendly fire" emerge from Kuwait, where three American F-15s were downed by allied air defenses. Simultaneously, an "open war" has erupted on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, as Pakistan launches air strikes against the Taliban, claiming to have killed their supreme leader. Inside Iran, thousands of young people are reportedly taking to the streets to support the regime's collapse.

A quiet little mistake at BYU sets off a surprisingly big reaction! When a drink at the Mormon-owned Brigham Young University turned out to contain green tea, it reopened the question of what the Mormon "Word of Wisdom" actually bans, and why a 19th-century health rule still causes confusion today. Frank and Dan unpack the green tea mix-up and the strange logic behind Mormon caffeine culture (because they most definitely do consume the stuff!!) Elsewhere in the episode: Congress launches a "Sharia Free America" caucus, anti-LGBTQ parents win a $1.5 million payout over school books, the Taliban burns musical instruments in Afghanistan, Kansas makes clergy mandatory reporters (with a major confession loophole), a Catholic bishop is accused of embezzling church funds for trips to a Tijuana brothel, and Tucker Carlson's new prayer-app sponsor sparks backlash from Christians.

D'après un rapport de plus de 50 pages de la Fondation Jean Jaurès et l'association equipop publié en début d'année 2023, le constat est sans appel. Les droits des femmes ont reculé un peu partout dans le monde dans le courant de l'année 2022.  En Afghanistan, depuis la prise du pouvoir par les Talibans en 2021, les femmes ont été plus que malmenées. Depuis mars 2022, il est devenu le seul pays au monde où les femmes n'ont pas accès au collège, au lycée et à l'université. De la même manière, pour promouvoir leur vision de la vertu, les gymnases ont été fermés. Dans quels pays les droits des femmes ont-ils particulièrement reculé ? Peut-on faire le même constat dans les pays occidentaux ? Comment lutter contre le recul des droits des femmes en Europe ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

In this episode of The Chris Abraham Show, Chris revisits an argument he first made more than two decades ago—an argument about American foreign policy, intervention, and the strange persistence of what John Quincy Adams once warned against: going abroad in search of monsters to destroy.The conversation begins with the latest escalation in the Middle East. Following a massive U.S. and Israeli strike campaign against Iran that targeted military infrastructure and senior leadership, the region once again finds itself at the edge of a wider war. Markets convulse, shipping lanes tighten, and the familiar arguments begin circulating: nuclear threats, rogue regimes, regional stability, and the hope that removing a dangerous government might somehow produce a safer political order.Chris has heard this argument before.In February of 2005, in the shadow of the Iraq invasion and the still-unfolding war in Afghanistan, he wrote a piece responding to a major debate inside American foreign policy circles. On one side were thinkers arguing that spreading democracy abroad would ultimately make the world safer. On the other were critics warning that intervention itself often creates the enemies it claims to fight.That debate never really ended. It simply moved from one country to another.In this episode Chris revisits that earlier essay and asks a simple but uncomfortable question: why do so many efforts to reshape other societies collapse once the outside power leaves?To explain the pattern, he introduces a metaphor that runs through the entire discussion: the pot on the stove.As long as heat is applied—troops, money, advisors, sanctions, intelligence networks, and political pressure—political systems can appear stable. But the moment the flame is reduced, societies tend to revert to their own deeper structures. The boiling stops. The underlying equilibrium returns.Afghanistan becomes the clearest example. Over two centuries three powerful empires—the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States—entered Afghanistan believing they could impose order or reshape the country's political system. Each eventually left, and each time the country returned to the same underlying networks of tribal, regional, and factional power.The labels changed—from mujahideen to Taliban—but the structure remained.The episode also explores what Chris calls the “strongman paradox.” In several Middle Eastern and North African states, authoritarian rulers like Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Bashar al-Assad held together fragile political systems through centralized control. When those regimes collapsed or were removed, the countries did not automatically transform into liberal democracies. In many cases they fractured into militias, rival governments, and competing factions.This leads to a deeper philosophical question about sovereignty and political development. Can democracy be exported the way a country exports technology or institutions? Or do stable political systems emerge slowly from a society's own culture, history, and internal balance of power?Chris argues that modern American foreign policy often treats political systems as if they were installable software—something that can be dropped into a society once the “wrong” leadership has been removed. History repeatedly suggests that the reality is more complicated.The episode also includes a personal confession. Chris explains why he voted for Donald Trump three times—not because of personality or party loyalty, but because of one specific promise: no new foreign wars. That promise, he argues, represented a rare break from the bipartisan consensus that has dominated American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War.Whether that promise still holds is part of the broader question.

C'est un document rare, qui sera diffusé à la télévision dimanche prochain (8 mars 2026) sur France 2. Rare parce qu'il raconte la vie des Afghans dans un pays fermé à la presse étrangère depuis le retour des talibans, il y a quatre ans et demi. Un pays qui efface  les femmes de l'espace public, qui impose un pouvoir rigoriste, mais qui est géré et qui collecte l'impôt.   Ce pays, la journaliste et autrice Solène Chalvon Fioriti le connait bien. Elle y a été correspondante. Elle l'a parcouru avec Mariane Getti, journaliste reporter d'images et co-réalisatrice.   Avec nos invitées :  - Solène Chalvon-Fioriti, journaliste, autrice, ancienne correspondante en Afghanistan, co-réalisatrice du documentaire Le pays taliban   - Marianne Getti,  journaliste reporter d'images et co-réalisatrice du documentaire Le pays taliban.

The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the hands of the United States marks the end of nearly four decades of authoritarian theocracy in Iran. Hawk reads and analyzes a piece from The Atlantic by Karim Sadjadpour examining Khamenei's life, his ruthless consolidation of power through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and how the Islamic Republic of Iran was built on three ideological pillars: death to America, death to Israel, and the forced covering of women. Drawing direct parallels to the Taliban in Afghanistan, Hawk walks through the Taliban's systematic oppression of women since retaking power in 2021, from banning girls from school after age 12 to prohibiting women from appearing in public without a burka. The comparison extends to white Christian nationalism, Project 2025, and the Heritage Foundation, examining how fundamentalist religion across Islam, Christianity, and other faiths has long been weaponized by insecure men to control and silence women and girls. The IRGC's role as Khamenei's political and economic power base mirrors how Trump has used loyal institutions to consolidate control. Eric Hoffer's observation that mass movements require belief in a devil, not God, applies as much to MAGA's targeting of immigrants, trans people, and the left as it did to Khamenei's America. The Iranian government's killing of 7,000 to 10,000 protesters over economic grievances, while spending on proxy wars instead of healthcare, parallels Republican cuts to Medicaid and SNAP alongside a $200 billion ICE budget. Khamenei lived by death to America and death to Israel. Those are exactly the forces that killed him.

Jauna realitāte - karš Tuvajos Austrumos. ASV un Izraēlas triecieni Irānā turpinās. Makrons paziņo par nepieciešamību palielināt Francijas kodolgalviņu skaitu. Pakistāna veikusu jaunu gaisa triecienu sēriju pa Afganistānas teritoriju, afgāņi atbild ar uzbrukumiem Pakistānas robežposteņiem. Aktualitātes analizē Ģeopolitikas pētījumu centra vadītājs Māris Andžāns un politologs Veiko Spolītis. Irāna rāda zobus pārspēkam Pēc tam, kad Izraēlas raķetes trāpījums 28. februārī bija laupījis dzīvību Irānas augtākajam vadonim Alī Hāmenejī, nomināli viņa funkcijas līdz jauna islāma republikas virsvadītāja iecelšanai uzņēmās Pagaidu vadības padome, kurā ietilpst Irānas prezidents Masuds Pezeškjāns, Irānas tiesu varas augstākais vadītājs Gulāmhuseins Mohsenī-Ežeī un Irānas konstitūcijas sargu padomes loceklis Alirezā Arafi. Tomēr pēdējās dienās izplatījies viedoklis, ka faktiski Irānas režīma priekšgalā jau kopš asiņainās masu protestu apspiešanas janvārī atrodas Augstākās nacionālās drošības padomes sekretārs, atvaļinātais Islāma revolūcijas sargu korpusa ģenerālis Alī Laridžāni. Tieši viņš pirmdienas vakarā, reaģējot uz Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa izteikumiem par iespējamu sarunu atsākšanu, paziņoja, ka Irāna ar amerikāņiem nekādas sarunas nevedīs. Lai arī amerikāņu un izraēliešu raķetes turpina pārvērst drupu kaudzēs Irānas militāros un administratīvos objektus, un bez augstākā līdera Hāmenejī nogalināto sarakstā ir arī Islāma revolūcijas sargu korpusa komandieris, aizsardzības ministrs, bruņoto spēku ģenerālštāba priekšnieks un vēl kādi desmit augsta ranga militāristi, Teherāna, vismaz savās ārējās izpausmēs, ietur kareivīgu stāju. Irānas raķešu un aviācijas triecienu mērķi ir ne vien Izraēla un Savienoto Valstu militārie un diplomātiskie objekti reģionā, bet arī naftas un gāzes pārstrādes, transporta, arī biznesa un tūrisma infrastruktūra Apvienotajos Arābu emirātos, Saūda Arābijā, Bahreinā, Kuveitā, Katarā un Omānā, tāpat britu militārā bāze Kiprā. Aktivizējušies Irānas sabiedrotie: Libānā bāzētais grupējums „Hezbollah” sācis apšaudīt ar raķetēm Izraēlas ziemeļu rajonus, Irākas šiītu militārie grupējumi ar lidrobotiem uzbrukuši viņu valstī izvietotajām amerikāņu militārajām bāzēm, tiek ziņots, ka Jemenas hutiešu nemiernieki plānojot atsākt uzbrukumus kuģiem Adenas līcī un Sarkanajā jūrā. Pret „Hezbollah” Izraēla jau izvērsusi plaša mēroga karadarbību, kas ietver arī sauszemes operācijas. Irāna vērsusi gaisa triecienus arī pa kurdu autonomijas teritorijām Irākas ziemeļos, jo šeit bāzējas tās režīmam naidīgas kurdu nemiernieku grupas, kas apvienojušās Irānas Kurdistānas Politisko spēku koalīcijā. Kurdu minoritāte Irānas ziemeļos ir tā, kas pirmām kārtām varētu izvērst bruņotu cīņu pret Teherānas varu. Kā jau tika sagaidīts, jūras transporta pārtraukšana Hormuzā likusi pakāpties naftas un sašķidrinātās gāzes cenām globālajā tirgū, tomēr par kādu paniku šai ziņā runāt nenākas. Pirms karadarbības sākuma tirgos valdīja šo resursu pārprodukcija, un lielākie patērētāji kā ASV un Ķīna ir izveidojuši rezerves, kas šobrīd amortizē situāciju. Pakistānai savs „pārmācīšanas karš” Nu jau labu laiku spriedzi Pakistānas valdības un Afganistānā valdošā talibu režīma starpā rada teroristu grupas, kuras rod patvērumu Afganistānā, rīkojot uzbrukumus Pakistānas teritorijā. Lielākā no šīm grupām ir džihāda kaujinieku struktūra Pakistānas Talibans, kas gan nav organizatoriski vienota ar saviem vārdabrāļiem Kabulā, tomēr idejiski un vēsturiski gan. Jau pagājušā gada oktobrī Pakistāna veica gaisa triecienus pa teroristu objektiem Afganistānā, tai skaitā galvaspilsētā Kabulā, kam sekoja vairākas dienas ilgas sadursmes uz robežas. Tad viss beidzās ar trauslu pamieru, taču šī gada februārī Pakistāna piedzīvoja vairākus terora aktus gan Pakistānas Talibana, gan divu citu teroristu struktūru – Islāma valsts un beludžu nacionālistu organizācijas Beludžistānas Atbrīvošanas armija – izpildījumā. Uzbrukumos dzīvību zaudēja vairāk nekā piecdesmit cilvēku, gan militārpersonas, gan civiliedzīvotāji. 21. februārī Pakistāna īstenoja savus jau iepriekš izteiktos brīdinājumus un veica jaunu gaisa triecienu sēriju pa Afganistānas teritoriju. Oficiālā Islamabada apgalvoja, ka mērķēts tikai pa teroristu bāzēm, taču afgāņu puse un arī Apvienoto Nāciju misija vēstīja par upuriem arī starp mierīgajiem iedzīvotājiem, tai skaitā bērniem. Gluži tāpat kā iepriekšējo reizi sekoja afgāņu uzbrukumi Pakistānas robežposteņiem, pēc kam pakistāniešu gaisa un arī sauszemes spēku triecieni tika vērsti nu jau pret Afganistānas bruņoto spēku objektiem – munīcijas noliktavām, komandpunktiem, kazarmām – gan pierobežas provincēs, gan galvaspilsētā Kabulā un otrā lielākajā valsts pilsētā Kandahārā. Talibiem netrūkst kaujas spara un fanātisma, viņu spēki rūdījušies divdesmit gadus ilgā un galu galā panākumiem vaiņagotā cīņā pret amerikāņu un to sabiedroto okupācijas spēkiem. Šī pieredze ietver labas kaujas lidrobotu izmantošanas prasmes, ko jau nācies sajust uz savas ādas pierobežā dislocētajiem pakistāniešu spēkiem. Pakistānas pusē ir nospiedošs militāri tehniskais pārsvars. Marta sākumā pakistāniešu gaisa spēki vairākkārt bombardējuši nozīmīgo Bagramas aviobāzi, kuru Afganistānai savulaik uzbūvēja Padomju Savienība; neliela Afganistānas pierobežas teritorija nonākusi pakistāniešu spēku rokās. Kā tiek atzīmēts, konflikta attīstību veicina arī vispārējais starptautiskais fons, kad pasaules uzmanība koncentrēta Persijas līča rajonā un neviens īsti nav gatavs veltīt uzmanību šim karam Āzijas vidienē. Kodollietussargs „Made in France” Prezidenta Emanuela Makrona uzstāšanās šo pirmdien, 2. martā, Īllongas kodolzemūdeņu bāzē Bretaņā, Francijas rietumu piekrastē, tiek uzlūkota kā lūzuma punkts franču kodolpolitikā. Kopš aukstā kara baigām valsts atomieroču potenciāla palielināšana faktiski bijusi tabu tēma, bet pirmdien šis tabu tika lauzts. Kā paziņoja Makrons, šobrīd, kad Krievija izvērsusi klaju militāro agresiju, nozīmīgi augušas Ķīnas ģeopolitiskās ambīcijas, bet Savienoto Valstu aizsardzības prioritātes strauji mainījušās, Francijas kodolgalviņu skaita palielināšana ir nepieciešamība. Pie tam, kā uzsvēra Francijas vadītājs, franču kodolatturēšanas programma kļūst par visas Eiropas kopēju rūpi. Viņš uzskaitīja sabiedrotos, ar kuriem Francijai šai ziņā jau ir konkrēti sadarbības plāni: Vācija, Polija, Grieķija, Nīderlande, Beļģija, Dānija un Zviedrija. Nav grūti pamanīt, ka ģeogrāfiski šī valstu grupa koncentrējas Baltijas jūras un Ziemeļjūras baseinā. Visciešākā sadarbība plānota ar Vāciju, un tajā pašā 2. martā tika publiskota prezidenta Makrona un kanclera Merca kopīga deklarācija par franču–vācu kodolvadības darba grupas izveidi. Šo franču „kodollietussarga” izplešanu virs pārējo apvienotās Eiropas partneru galvām Francijas prezidents nodēvēja par „izvērsto atturēšanu”. Prezidents gan nepiemirsa norādīt, ka šī iniciatīva nekādi neesot uzlūkojama kā alternatīva NATO kodolatturēšanas spējām, bet gan kā to papildinājums. Kaut ekspertu vērtējuma Makrona uzstāšanās bija veiksmīga, labi līdzsvarojot Francijas nacionālo un Eiropas kopējo interešu motīvus, viņš, protams, saņēma paredzamu kritiku no pašmāju politiķiem, tai skaitā Nacionālās kustības līdera Žordāna Bardellas, kuru uzskata par visai reālu Makrona pēcteci prezidenta krēslā. Tas ir vēl viens faktors, kas liek prezidētam steigties, lai šī iniciatīva būt jau gana tālu attīstīta un nākamais Elizejas pils saimnieks nevarētu to viegli likvidēt. „Nākamais pusgadsimts būs kodolieroču laikmets, un Francija tajā spēlēs savu pilnvērtīgo lomu, turpinot vairot savus spēkus,” pirmdienas runas noslēgumā pauda Emanuels Makrons. Šobrīd Francijai ir apmēram trīssimt kodolgalviņas, ar kurām aprīkotas ballistiskās raķetes uz četrām „Triomphant” tipa atomzemūdenēm, kā arī spārnotās raķetes uz daudzfunkcionālajiem iznīcinātājiem „Rafale”.   Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

It's Tuesday, March 3, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed and Adam McManus Taliban back in control in Afghanistan After 20 years of U.S. conflict in Afghanistan, the Taliban is back in control. Here's the latest. The Associated Press reports that the new Afghan penal code allows husbands to beat their wives, criminalizes criticism of the nation's leadership, and bans education for women beyond primary school.  And the Afghan-Pakistani War is heating up. According to recent numbers from Afghan Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, 415 soldiers with the Taliban have died and 580 have been injured. Republicans support and Democrats oppose Iranian attack Here in the United States, there's a sharp partisan divide with Americans concerning the latest war with Iran.   An Ipsos/Reuters survey finds that 55% of Republican voters are in favor of the U.S. attack on Iran. Only 13% opposed it. And 7% of Democrats support the attack while 74% oppose.  Thus far, as of Monday — the casualties racking up in the war include 555 Iranian deaths, 31 Lebanese deaths, 10 Israeli deaths, and 4 American deaths.  Time on Doomsday Clock Ever heard of The Doomsday Clock?  Sponsored by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, it warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making. It is a metaphor, a reminder, of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet. As of January 2026, the Doomsday Clock was moved to T-minus 85 seconds.  That's down from 17 minutes in 1992, and 5 minutes in 2012.   China, Russia, and France's place in the nuclear arms race Recent estimates put China's spending on its nuclear arsenal at $12.5 to $14 billion for 2024 and 2025. The communist country is outspending every nation except the United States. News reports point to Russia's development of a nuclear weapon to be detonated in space. And, just yesterday, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to increase the size of the French nuclear arsenal, as the second nuclear arms race progresses. Psalm 46:8-9 instructs us to “Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the Earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the Earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.” Evidence a Mexican cartel bribe Mexican politicians Mexico's El Universal newspaper carried pictures of the ledgers found in the cabin of the late drug lord Nemesio Cervantes, known as “El Mencho.” The ledgers included references to Mexico's Attorney General's Office as well as members of military and state agencies.   Mexican journalists have explained that the Jalisco New Generation Cartel has bankrolled political campaigns of Mexico's ruling party members in the National Regeneration Movement in exchange for relative immunity,  reports Breitbart. War Secretary Hegseth ends cooperation with woke Ivy League schools As The Worldview reported last month, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth cut ties between Harvard and the Pentagon, discontinuing military-sponsored and funding of graduate-level education programs.  Now, the War Department has announced no more cooperation with the rest of Ivy League schools. Secretary Hegseth explained the reason for this. HEGSETH: “Our senior service colleges have always been expected to act in the interest of this principle, to transform our senior war fighters into strategic thinkers, capable of mastering the complexities of modern warfare, and leading our joint force to victory at every echelon. Unfortunately, this sacred trust has been broken in this military's professional military education system. “For decades, the Ivy League, and similar institutions, have gorged themselves on a trust fund of American taxpayer dollars, only to become factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain. They've taken our best and brightest, the men and women who pledged their lives to this nation, and subjected them to a curriculum of contempt. “They've replaced the study of victory and pragmatic realism with the promotion of ‘wokeness' and weakness, they've traded true intellectual rigor for radical dogma, sacrificing free expression for the suffocating confines of leftist ideology.” As of last week, the Pentagon has also reached an agreement with Scouting America (including the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts), to move away from what they call “diversity initiatives” and woke policies. Trust in U.S. government at 17% Among Americans, trust in the federal government has hit its lowest levels in seven decades — now at 17%. That's down from 77% in 1964, according to Pew Research's latest numbers. Oregon Democrats block bill to protect babies who survive abortions Oregon Democrats blocked a bill that would have given babies a chance to survive after a failed abortion. House Bill 4087, or the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, mandated that infants who survived a botched abortion be afforded the “same degree of professional skill, care and diligence … that a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.” Oregon Right To Life Executive Director Lois Anderson  laid out the inhumanity of the state's abortion law. ANDERSON: “Later abortions are currently legal in Oregon. There are no restrictions, no protections for unborn babies up until birth. And even if they survive an abortion procedure, they are not protected and required to be given medical treatment. “We know, from not only polling, but anecdotal information, and all of these candidates and discussing with Oregonians, that they would support this kind of legislation.” Micah 6:8 reminds us to “to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” “I Can Only Imagine 2” movie lands #3 at the Box Office And finally, “I Can Only Imagine 2,” hit movie theaters this past weekend. The sequel focuses on the Christian band MercyMe and its famous “Even If” song, which lead singer Bart Millard said was written during a tough period in his life.   “I know You're able and I know You can Save through the fire with Your mighty hand But even if You don't My hope is You alone I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt Would all go away if You'd just say the word But even if You don't My hope is You alone” In 2014, Bart Millard and his wife learned that their young son, Sam, had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a chronic and life-threatening autoimmune disease. Sam's blood sugar levels were dangerously high, and he was hospitalized. Doctors warned that managing the disease would be lifelong and complex. For Bart, who had spent years singing about faith and trust in God, the situation shook him deeply. He later admitted that he struggled emotionally and spiritually. The crisis forced him to confront hard questions about faith in the face of suffering — especially when prayers do not bring immediate healing. Listen to comments he made to CBN. MILLARD: “These two songs in particular, “Imagine” and “Even If,” were written out of some difficult seasons of my life. Not all songs are written that way, but my therapy is working issues out through my songs. The ones that mean the most to me have come out of some pretty painful places and been therapeutic for me.” The idea for the song “Even If” came from Daniel 3:16-18. It says, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to King Nebuchadnezzar, ‘We do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.  If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and He will deliver us from your Majesty's hand. But even if He does not, we want you to know, your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.'” “I Can Only Imagine 2” was #3 at the box office, grossing around $8 million.

Kể từ khi Taliban nắm quyền kiểm soát Afghanistan vào năm 2021, Trung Quốc đã chi phối ngành khai thác mỏ của quốc gia này. Tuy nhiên, các khu mỏ, chủ yếu nằm dọc hai bên biên giới Afghanistan-Tajikistan, hiện đang trở thành những bãi mìn chết chóc.Xem thêm.

Send a textIn August 2021, the Taliban took back control in Afghanistan. Women face unprecedented repression. They can't go to school or work; public parks are banned to them; they are not allowed to speak or sing too loudly. Are we turning away?“This is the time for the international community and for other countries, especially the EU, to step in and to make sure they respond to the crisis in Afghanistan and stand with the women of Afghanistan and to do everything they can to protect their rights,” says Fereshta Abbasi, from Human Rights Watch.Diplomats in Geneva have backed a powerful UN fact-finding mission for Afghanistan.“As an ambassador, and as a woman, [I know that] women have fought for decades if not centuries for their rights, and I also personally do not want to see a back-peddling on those rights that we, and generations of brave women before us, have fought for for so long,” says Deike Potzel, EU Ambassador to the UN in Geneva. Women inside Afghanistan need to know there is support.“Women and girls in Afghanistan resist in ways that don't form a single movement. It's about 1,000 quiet and important uprisings and day-to-day revolutions: a resistance that is fierce and creative to show that they exist and that they will never accept that kind of domination,” says Sahar Fetrat, an Afghan campaigner for women's rights.The fact-finding mission can gather evidence and hold Afghanistan's government and individual Taliban leaders to account. But ordinary women across Europe can help too.“Here in Europe, in Geneva, we have the wonderful opportunity to actually make our voices heard and to be heard. So use that chance, get engaged. Open your eyes and then do something,” says Potzel. Join some inspiring women talking to Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva.Get in touch!

Pakistani military jets have hit targets inside Afghanistan, bombing parts of Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia, as open military conflict surged between the two countries. Pakistan's Defence Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, said Islamabad's patience had run out and declared the neighbours at "open war" following months of tit-for-tat clashes and heavy losses for both sides. Islamabad accuses Afghanistan of failing to act against militant groups that carry out attacks in Pakistan, which the Taliban government denies.Also: the BBC has obtained a video that shows how Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and stood around as he bled to death.

//The Wire//1300Z February 27, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: FINAL PREPARATIONS BEGIN FOR COMBAT OPERATIONS IN MIDDLE EAST. US MILITARY SHOOTS DOWN BORDER PATROL DRONE IN FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENT. CONFLICT FLARES UP AGAIN BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Middle East: As of this morning, Chinese satellite imagery indicates that Al-Udeid Airbase has been fully evacuated of tanker aircraft, with only a small number of other airframes remaining at this location. The *FORD* CSG has arrived on station off the coast of Israel, and most of the movement of fighter aircraft has slowed to a crawl, as all of the aircraft that have been forward-deployed throughout the region are in their final staging areas, awaiting the launch of the operation.Western Asia: Border clashes between the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan have flared up again, as intense fighting has been reported along the border in the east. Pakistani forces have bombed a few ammo dumps in the Afghan district in Nangarhar, with Taliban forces responding in kind by shooting at Pakistani observation posts along the border. Taliban forces have also claimed to have conducted drone strikes of their own, with improvised explosive drones being used to target several Pakistani military installations overnight.-HomeFront-Texas: Yesterday evening a friendly-fire shootdown incident was reported involving US military forces shooting down a Customs and Border Patrol drone, which was conducting patrols along the southern US border.Analyst Comment: Many details have not been provided on this shootdown incident just yet, however it looks like a CBP drone was operating along the border in the vicinity of Fort Hancock, and due to a lack of deconfliction measures they shot down one of their own drones using a laser-based defense system similar to the system that was being used in El Paso last week.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, so far everything is lining up for the next potential strike window to open up sometime this weekend, with weather conditions throughout Iran being favorable for most military operations. Lunar illumination is good, and there are no cloud ceilings throughout the nation for the next few days.This morning diplomatic efforts to draw down forces throughout the region continue as well. American Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sent an email to staffers at the Embassy this morning, telling them that departure is authorized, and that anyone who wants to leave "should do so today". This timeline lines up with the American tradition of conducting strikes after the stock markets close on Friday, though as to the exact hour of the operation beginning, it's anyone's guess. More broadly, we're now in the most optimal targeting window, and this window will be open for the next few days.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

Jon Lee Anderson is considered one of the great foreign correspondents of our time. Since the late 1980s, his on-the-ground reporting in Afghanistan has provided invaluable insight into decades of conflict and political upheaval. For The New Yorker magazine he covered the US-backed Mujahideen's insurrection in Kabul, was an eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al-Qaeda allies within days of the 9/11 attacks, and reported on the supposed quick and easy victory of America while Osama bin Laden was still in hiding.  On February 10, Anderson joins us in person to reflect on his decades-long career, throughout which he has traced the missteps of the US-led war in Afghanistan, now widely regarded as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era.  Join us live at the Kiln Theatre and ask your questions in the audience  Q&A. ---If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Jon Lee Anderson is considered one of the great foreign correspondents of our time. Since the late 1980s, his on-the-ground reporting in Afghanistan has provided invaluable insight into decades of conflict and political upheaval. For The New Yorker magazine he covered the US-backed Mujahideen's insurrection in Kabul, was an eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al-Qaeda allies within days of the 9/11 attacks, and reported on the supposed quick and easy victory of America while Osama bin Laden was still in hiding.  On February 10, Anderson joins us in person to reflect on his decades-long career, throughout which he has traced the missteps of the US-led war in Afghanistan, now widely regarded as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era.  Join us live at the Kiln Theatre and ask your questions in the audience  Q&A. --- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.
