The minerals inside your phone, your car, and U.S. fighter jets almost all pass through one country: China. Dr. Gracelin Baskaran, founding director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at CSIS, joins Sir Richard Dearlove and Rosanna Lockwood to explain how China built a stranglehold on rare earth production, and what it will actually take to break it. Critical Minerals are this century's defining supply chain vulnerability: it's a demand problem, a democracy problem, and, for the West, a race against a country that isn't swayed by elections. Also: Israel's espionage escalation against US officials, Poland's rise as Europe's top defense power, and the fall of Orbán's Hungary.

For years, Dr. Kelly Victory warned of the dangers of mRNA shots, only to be censored and criticized by her peers as an “anti-vaxxer”.

Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice. CIA map of Iran US officials justify war on Iran as United Nations, Dems criticize attacks; Iranian Americans in LA protest wars for regime change, say US has no role in MidEast but to exit; Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) official discusses “unnecessary, unconstitutional” attacks on Iran with KPFA; Doctors Without Borders challenging Israeli policy ending permission to work in Gaza; Homeland Security Secretary Noem to testify to congress Wednesday, live broadcast at 6am The post United Nations, Dems criticize attacks on Iran as US officials justify war; Doctors Without Borders, other aid groups lose permission to work in Gaza – March 2, 2026 appeared first on KPFA.
A quiet leak says the loud part: some senior voices in Washington think the politics “work better” if Israel strikes Iran first. Not because it changes the threat. Because it changes the story Americans hear. We pull that thread and walk through the actual mechanics of how a regional spark becomes a U.S. war—and how the talking points are already scripted to sell it as defense, not regime change. We dig into the Wall Street Journal's reporting on U.S. negotiating demands in Geneva: dismantle core facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan; ship out enriched uranium; accept permanent restrictions; get minimal sanctions relief. If the aim is nonproliferation, that package reads like a poison pill. We explain enrichment levels, IAEA safeguards, and why the JCPOA's sunsets never legalized weapons. We also explore practical off-ramps—like diluting higher-enriched stock back to fuel-grade or transferring it to a third country—and why domestic politics and sanctions architecture block viable outcomes. Then we zoom out to missiles, proxies, and red lines that Washington has outsourced to regional partners. That choice all but guarantees future friction and a pretext for strikes. On Capitol Hill, even narrow, monitored enrichment is attacked as “JCPOA lite,” while the constitutional question goes missing. If war is truly on the table, a clean declaration vote would force members to own the decision; a War Powers Resolution that can be vetoed only muddies accountability. We close by assessing costs that seldom make the headline—U.S. casualties, humanitarian fallout, a deepening refugee crisis, and an empowered military-industrial complex—while ordinary Americans shoulder the bill. If this conversation adds clarity, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your take on whether Congress should be required to vote before any strike on Iran. Your voice shapes what happens next.

Ahmad Sharawi Sharawi confirms that self-named president Ahmed al-Shara enjoys full support from regional powers, specifically Saudi Arabia and Turkey. While some US officials have expressed disagreement with al-Shara's campaign against the SDF (a US counterterrorism partner), Turkey actively supports the move because it views the SDF as an enemy it wants removed from northeast Syria.1920 AMERICAN ORPHANAGE ALEPPO

More aid is entering Gaza under a fragile ceasefire, but humanitarian agencies say it remains far from enough to meet the needs of its starving population. But discussions on how to achieve – and maintain – peace have coincided with Israel's Knesset narrowly advancing a bill to apply Israeli law to the occupied West Bank. It's being widely condemned as a preliminary step to approving total annexation.
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. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As US Vice President JD Vance spends his first day in Israel, Magid discusses Vance's comments about the ceasefire, the continued focus on getting all of the remaining hostages' bodies back, and the question of a possible timeline regarding Hamas disarmament. Magid also delves into Vance's statements at a press conference in the new Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat. The CMCC is a new hub inside Israel where participating countries will try and monitor the ceasefire, says Magid, adjudicating violations and handling the movement of goods into Gaza, including aid and security forces, in the future. Vance discussed what role other countries could play, including the question of Turkey and Israel's resistance to that idea, says Magid.

Diplomatic efforts have intensified in the Middle East as the United States works to preserve the fragile Gaza ceasefire following a weekend of renewed violence. The truce, part of US President Donald Trump's multi-phase Gaza plan, was shaken after a Palestinian attack killed two Israeli soldiers, triggering Israeli airstrikes that left dozens dead.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes cartel bounties on U.S. agents, corruption inside Mexico's ruling party, and the alliances forming between cartels, gangs, and leftist extremists in American cities. We also cover the unraveling Gaza ceasefire, Trump's new deal with Argentina, China's role in Russia's war, a coup in Madagascar threatening U.S. mineral supplies, and listener mail on media honesty. Cartel Bounties and Corruption: Mexican cartels are offering up to $50,000 to assassinate ICE, CBP, and DHS officers while partnering with U.S. gangs and Antifa. Trump revoked visas for over 50 Mexican officials tied to cartels, signaling deeper military action may follow. Middle East and Global Conflicts: Hamas refuses to disarm, violating Trump's Gaza ceasefire. Israel accuses the group of hiding bodies of murdered hostages as Trump warns, “Phase Two begins right now.” In Europe and Asia, China is supplying advanced drone parts to Russia, while the U.S. considers arming Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles capable of hitting Moscow. Latin America and the Mineral Wars: Trump pledged $20 billion to Argentina's Javier Milei and new tariffs on Chinese cooking oil after Argentina's soybean sales to Beijing. A coup in Madagascar halted graphite exports crucial to U.S. batteries, with Bryan warning it may be part of China's long game before a Taiwan invasion. Faith, Media, and Integrity: Bryan closes by responding to listener mail about media deception, defending honest reporting over celebrity-driven punditry: “I'm not here to be a circus monkey. I'm here to tell the truth.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Mexican cartels bounty ICE CBP DHS, Claudia Sheinbaum corruption visas revoked, Trump cartel war Mexico, Hamas Gaza ceasefire broken, Trump Argentina Milei $20 billion rescue, China drones Russia Ukraine, Madagascar coup graphite supply chain, Xi Jinping Taiwan minerals, Bryan Dean Wright media integrity
