What a war.  Just when AI videos are big!

The world is mocking Trump.  The Chinese videos are sterling quality.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

An extensive update on the Iran War Thread with as much as is possible, verified data that shapes the region.  Some Ukrainian soldiers were in the wackzone and left for Bandera as well.

(No cronetoo, last night I did not sleep too much 😳 )

Changes continue at a breakneck speed. Changes in the world, on our planet are now undeniable and so fast that getting our arms around them takes grit and time:

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Medvedev with an uncharacteristically mild statement:

The deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council has warned the US that the fate of any ground invasion of Iran would be a crushing defeat, adding that such a move would entrap Washington in a quagmire similar to the Vietnam War.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The Houthis, Ansar Allah or the Yemeni Armed Forces have officially joined the war on Iran and the first missile barrage went into the Negev, Southern Occupied Territories.  These were military sites.

The Iranian approach is now increasingly coordinated, where multiple fronts (Now Yemen, some action from Iraq, Hezbollah and simultaneous strikes from Iran) act in parallel under the principle of collective response.

Yemeni Armed Forces | Houthis announce first military operation targeting Israeli military sites in southern occupied Palestine with ballistic missiles. This follows previous statements supporting Iran and resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.

🔴 The operation coincided with actions by Mujahideen in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, achieving its objectives.
🔴 The Yemeni Armed Forces | Houthis assert that operations will continue until all aggression against resistance fronts ceases.

I guess we can understand why Trump’s envoy Witkoff is a damn fool.  He is an silly man that needs to go to a funny farm.  This is why Russia ‘negotiates’ with this fellow.  It is probably the funniest ever.  It is a larp comedy.

Steve Witkoff – We want Iran to thrive and survive in the country that joined League of Nations’.  ‘We just don’t want the destabilizing forces that they’ve generated’

The League of Nations was officially dissolved in 1946 and replaced by the United Nations, which was established to continue the mission of maintaining world peace.  Or is he trying to be sneakily clever and hide that they want Iran back under a controlled regime?  Does he not understand that the world has changed?

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Russia to ban exporting gas and oil starting April 1st until July 31st, according to Russian media TASS.

MOSCOW, March 27. /TASS/. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak instructed the Ministry of Energy to prepare a draft government decree banning gasoline exports from April 1, 2026, the Russian Cabinet said after meeting on the situation on the domestic petroleum products market.

“Alexander Novak instructed the Ministry of Energy in conclusion of the meeting to prepare the draft decree prohibiting gasoline exports from April 1, 2026,” the government said.

This measure is aimed at stabilizing prices and ensuring priority fuel supplies to the domestic market.

The Sky is raining missiles in Tel Aviv.

IMG_9597

Iranian missiles hit their targets with high precision in terms of target identification and the destruction they cause, but strict Zionist censorship prevents the dissemination of the facts as they are few videos reach the public, and the number of casualties among the Zionist government or Jewish settlers is not announced.  The sheer number of visual reports are increasing though and we are receiving many more than before.  Hezbollah is destroying the Merkava tanks at a rate of knots.   Since the start of the Zionist terrorist aggression against Lebanon, a total of 60 Merkava tanks, 9 armored personnel carriers, and 7 D9-bulldozers have been destroyed by the Lebanese Resistance Hezbollah.  IDF soldiers are experiencing casualties, also at a rate of knots.  In the past 24 hours alone, 22 Merkava tanks have been taken out.    Hezbollah is doing what they are imminently suited to do and that is fighting a guerrilla war.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The arguments for a ground attack on Iran are becoming increasingly absurd. The messaging is becoming more insane and further unhinged.  The mental illness is not contained in Trump alone.  US Vice President J.D. Vance claims that Iran was planning to use nuclear suicide belts and kill tens of thousands of people, and therefore, it should be attacked.

Meanwhile, over a million Iranian citizens have been mobilized in anticipation of a US ground operation.  According to information published in numerous foreign newspapers, citing several members of Congress, an attack on Iran may occur in the near future. I hope (and this is not an anti-war message unfortunately) Iran takes the offer from the DPRK to enter the war.  The DPRK has 1.2 million soldiers and as reported from Russia, the help that these soldiers lent to the Russian forces during part of the SMO, made serious inroads.  As far as we know, the DPRK can also lend a nuclear umbrella.  A move like this could break the escalation machine.

There are regular reports of various US ground forces entering the region although there are no US bases for them.  The current soldiers and personnel live in hotels but certainly not on a base.   Up to now in terms of serious discussions that come my way, there is not one serious military commentator, planner, experienced war analyst or military expert, that believes a ground operation will be successful in any configuration.  To the contrary, the US forces will be massacred.  Iran will be badly hurt, but the US cannot win this war.

IRAN HOLDS THE LEVERAGE.

Depending on US decisions in the next days, we will either see the fall of the GCC, an economic world wide disaster which may be baked into the cake at this stage, or an ongoing war of attrition.  Or the US will simply TACO and declare victory.  This eventuality will not include Israel, and the US will attempt to keep this segment of the fight alive.  “IDF’s disregard of Trump’s energy strike pause may reveal growing rift between US, Israel”.  No, it is not a rift, it is policy and the US feigns ignorance.

Although my tongue burns if I speak about Zelenski, Ukraine and Saudi Arabia have signed a defense cooperation agreement.

There are internal reports that the IDF is falling apart.  Social cohesion in Israel is clearly fracturing.  The average Israeli is not willing any longer to sleep in shelters and are turning on their government or leaving.  Any shenanigans in terms of gaslighting peace agreements from the US side will attempt to save their Israeli proxy (or boss) in one way or another.

Like Professor Hudson, I am astounded that the rest of the world’s leaders are seemingly playing possum.  There are active attempts at serious pushback:

Malaysia has declared its trade deal with the United States “null and void” following U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down Trump-era reciprocal tariffs.  The detail here will be posted during the course of the day.  GO MALAYSIA!

Iran wins the AI trolling war.  Geopolitics prime set together a series of the most excellent trolling videos:  https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/67336 

The lego series is excellent:

Iran’s AI propaganda video masterclass

Iranian media, IRGC-affiliated channels, influencer networks and independent content creators are flooding social media with a stream of polished, emotionally powerful and hilarious AI-generated videos, with some surely destined to be featured in future documentaries and lectures on the history of the current conflict.

Far from the AI slop content that we’ve all become used to, many of the videos serve as effective propaganda in the best sense of the word – the dissemination and deliberation of info and ideas to put forward Iran’s case in the face of US-Israeli aggression.

The clips feature:

🔴 regular references to Baal, the devil-horned demon of Western occult tradition associated with child sacrifice, which Iran effectively declared war on in February amid the publication of the Epstein files

🔴 abundant references to the files themselves, (correctly) framing the war as an existential struggle between Iran and the global Epstein class

🔴 multiple videos making reference to the brutal double tap attack on an Iranian girls school on day 1 of the war

🔴 a series of endearing, Lego-inspired videos, from a modern retelling of the Quranic Battle of the Elephants featuring Trump and Netanyahu, to a full-length rap about Trump the reckless gambler

🔴 comedic clips, like Trump talking to himself while pretending to negotiate with the Iranians

🔴 a video feat. Scott Ritter on Trump’s total ignorance of the Shia faith, the Twelvers, the story of Husayn ibn Ali, the Battle of Karbala, and the fact that for Iranians, this is a religious war

🔴 and even a movie trailer-style “based on a true story, unfortunately” clip featuring real-world actors parodying Netanyahu’s ‘Iran is two weeks away from a nuke’ rhetoric and the chaos unleashed by Trump’s decision to unleash this war.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Peskov: 

The US, obviously, seeks to bring international energy infrastructure under its control

💬 “The fact that the United States tends to take control of the international energy infrastructure is obvious,” Peskov said, answering a question about the Kremlin’s position regarding the desire of the United States to solely manage the gas pipeline.

Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with France TV (https://t.me/SputnikInt/101913) that the United States was talking about its desire to take over Russia’s Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.

Other statements by Dmitry Peskov:

🟠 Both Russian and American businesses are missing out on profit because the US is in no hurry to restore mutual cooperation

🟠 The matter of economic projects with the US, including rare earth mining in Donbass, was not discussed at Putin’s closed meeting with business

🟠 Russia has no details on alleged US-Iran negotiations

🟠 Ukraine continues attempts to disable the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC)

🟠 Ukraine persists with its energy blackmail, harming the interests of companies from Russia, the United States, and Kazakhstan

🔹🔹🔹🔹

RUSSIAN MOD WEEKLY UPDATE:

🟠 In response to Ukraine’s terrorist attacks, Russian air and missile power unleashed six strikes on Ukrainian defense infrastructure using high-precision weapons

🟠 Four settlements were liberated over the past week by Russian forces

🟠 The Russian army destroyed one MLRS vehicle, 147 tanks, 543 motor vehicles, as well as 85 field artillery systems and mortars

🟠 Air defense superiority: four long-range Neptune missiles and 3,138 fixed-wing drones were shot down by Russian air defense systems over the past seven days  (In this past week, Russia dealt with the biggest drone strikes ever during the course of the SMO).

🟠 Ukrainian losses: around 8,880 troops killed or wounded

Mar 26

⬇️ Of course, negotiations only happened in Trump World 🐵.    Iran also did not gift the US 8 ships full of oil.  You know what Trump counted?  Tankers that were allowed to leave the Strait heading for other countries like Bangladesh, China, India. It had nothing to do with Trump. Truthful things rarely ever come out of his mouth.”  He now says Iran asked him for seven days, but he gave them ten.  Our default position should be to understand it is propaganda and lies.  

And then he declared victory again.  “In a certain sense …. ”

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Talks between a Russian parliamentary delegation and members of the US Congress have begun in Washington, senior Russian lawmaker Boris Chernyshov has said.  The meeting will involve both Republicans and Democrats, as well as representatives of several Russian parliamentary parties, Chernyshov, a member of the LDPR Party, who is also taking part in the meeting, said in a message published on Telegram on Thursday.  The lawmakers plan to present Moscow’s position to their American counterparts and “create the basis for future dialogue,” the vice chair of the Russian lower house, the State Duma, said.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Nicholás Maduro and his wife Cilia appeared in court today.  U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein appeared skeptical that the U.S. was justified in blocking Venezuela’s government from paying Maduro’s legal fees.  However, the judge signaled he would not dismiss the drug trafficking case against the ousted Venezuelan president on that basis, as Maduro’s lawyer had argued he should.  Hellerstein did not issue a formal ruling on either the fees or the motion to have the case thrown out.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Trump is insane.

“One missile went 2,500 miles; they supposedly didn’t have a missile like that.  …They shot the now-famous Ireland… the island that the UK was very afraid to give us.”  “I am the opposite of desperate; I don’t care” – Trump

Bear in mind Israel is being demolished bit by bit.

“Iran is looking for an off-ramp, following your powerful threat on Saturday.” – US Real Estate Developer and Professional Liar, Steve Witkoff, says he presented Iran with a 15-point “peace deal” through Pakistan.  There is no peace deal.  This is all pretense from the Great Pretenders.  They are desperate.

We will continue negotiating with bombs – Hegseth

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Take a look:

Pakistan cannot confirm its role as mediator because Iran has not confirmed its roll as mediator. Pakistan writes letters to Iran and Trump calls it negotiations or talks.

Iran is in a position similar to Russia. Russia has its peace requirements and will not change. So has Iran and will not change. Anyone can talk, but if this is correct, Islamabad works for Trump.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

There has still been no progress on the main issues in the negotiations on Ukraine, including the territorial one — 🇷🇺 Peskov.

Still in a coma!  BRICS Summit Set for September in New Delhi

India plans to host the upcoming BRICS summit on September 12–13 in New Delhi, according to a government source cited by TASS. Member countries have already been informed about the proposed dates, although formal invitations have not yet been sent. India is holding the BRICS chairmanship in 2026, placing it at the center of coordinating the group’s key agenda and meetings this year.

They announce meetings, but there is nothing there.  Only pictures.  https://www.brics2026.gov.in/event-overview/

Iranians from all over the country have gone to Kharg Island, waiting for the possible arrival of American soldiers to welcome them.

Mar 25

Desperation: The US and Israel have assassinated numerous Iranian officials and have now allegedly removed Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf from their hit list – temporarily – to have someone to talk to.

President Donald Trump has claimed that the Iranians are desperate to reach a deal with him, but fear retribution from their own people if they publicly admit to that.

“They want to make a deal so badly, but they’re afraid to say it because they figure they’ll be killed by their own people. They’re also afraid they’ll be killed by us,” Trump said, without revealing who his alleged secret interlocutors were.

(They are not off Bibi’s kill list and in reality who in Iran will ever again trust the US on any level?)

🔹🔹🔹🔹

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Democrat Emily Gregory won Tuesday’s special election for a Florida state House seat covering the district that includes Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort as voters reject his war against Iran.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Deathseth:

“Never in history has a country been defeated as Iran has… We wiped it off the face of the earth, and then it was defeated.”

Saeed Jalili, member of Iran’s Expediency Council, explaining why the assassinations do not deter the Iranian people:

“Iran today is stronger than ever. Iran stands alone, across every dimension, against them.” “They don’t understand this. They think: strike this person, remove this official — and the issue will be finished. The roots are far deeper than that.”

Other serious news: Latest strike near Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran happened IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE OPERATING POWER UNIT — Rosatom head Likhachev. ‘The situation continues to unfold along a negative trajectory’. The ‘Infernal Escalation Machine’ is in full swing.

Mar 24

Trumpworld:  Trump on CNBC – the deception continues:

WAR IS OVER!! IT’S ALL FAKE NEWS!!!  “We’ve won this war. The only one who likes to keep it going is the fake news.”  The New York Times, ABC, NBC — all lying, he says. “It’s not a close battle. They’re totally defeated.”

Trump when asked if he was negotiating on who controls the Strait of Hormuz?  “We can have control of anything we want.”   “We killed all their leadership. Then they met to choose new leaders. And we killed all of them.”

He also revealed Iran gave the U.S. a mysterious “present” — oil and gas related, “worth a tremendous amount of money,” which arrived today. He won’t say what it is.

“I don’t trust them.” — “Then why negotiate?” — “Because they’re gonna make a deal.”

The new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, he added, was “racked up pretty good” in the strike that killed his father.

Pete Hegseth: “We negotiate with bombs. You have a choice — as we loiter over the top of Tehran.”  He also said Iran’s military was destroyed “more rapidly and historically than any modern military in history,” and credited Trump for “untying the hands” of warfighters to “destroy the enemy as viciously as possible.”

Trump is simultaneously claiming Iran is begging for peace. Hegseth is describing bombing people into a deal from above Tehran.

Back to the real world.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The Strait of Hormuz is slowly opening.  Chinese ships are through in the last hours.   We now know of Japanese vessels, Indian vessels and of course Iranian traffic flows as Iran implements a new dispensation for the Strait.

Pepe Escobar says:

And just like that, the most crucial chokepoint on the planet is under new management.

Have petroyuan, will travel.

Pay the tool booth, will travel.

Have a clearance code from the IRGC, will travel.

Bon voyage.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

What days, when the most important news of our days, is the mockery?

Iranian Embassy in South Africa homes in on Trump ‘managing’ the Strait of Hormuz with ‘whoever the new Ayatolah is’, with a little kid’s steering wheel for Trump.

China homes in on ‘Paper Tiger’.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Emmanuel Todd is more serious. A summary:

If Iran withstands this shock, the American empire will end.

“And in fact, the lesson the Iranians are teaching all the Gulf states is that the Americans are not at all a protection, but on the contrary, a source of insecurity.

The Iranians can’t say it, but the likely objective of this war for them—and this would be the real strategic catastrophe for the Americans—would be for all the Arab Gulf states to ask the Americans to pack their bags.

In other words, if Iran holds out, if Iran achieves its objectives, then it is effectively the end of the American Empire. And that is an absolutely thrilling historical moment.

That is true, but there still is the very real threat that Greater Israel inherits the cloak of empire.

Counting roughly, there still are 40 countries that are US-centric and want to be US-Centric.  By definition, they are pro-zionist and for Israel as the US is.  There are 60+ countries (including the Gulf countries) that are in a complete state of confusion and shock, and in the process of understanding that they are losing what they thought was their ‘protector’.   We will most probably see borders change.    Then we have approximately 60 countries that can be counted as knowlegable on the system of multi-polarity, multi-lateral decision-making and literally multi-human-existence without an erstwhile dollar as ‘reserve’ currency.  These countries are not necessarily prepared for a new global dispensation and on the whole, lack economic sovereignty to a pitiful extent.  Todd may be right in his perspective of a thrilling historical moment and we will celebrate.  But let us also be real.  The work starts now.

Mar 23

Who is visiting China? The dates for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China are currently being finalized and will be announced soon, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko told reporters.

According to him, Moscow is ready for negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement, but no specific dates have been determined yet. Rudenko noted that Russia has never harbored any illusions about the United States, so its attitude toward the US has not changed amid the situation in the Middle East.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov may travel to India soon.

Iran fires 77th and 78th wave after rejecting US talks as ‘fake news’

‘Trump’s psychological operations are worn out’ — IRIB

 

Please note, it is not a fake. It is on his Truth Social here: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116278232362967212

Notes:  -We cannot believe a word he says.

-He is throwing Bibi (dead or alive) under the bus … note, no word about zionists ‘postponing’ strikes.

-He is fully TACO’ing? Or fake TACO’ing.

-He is trying to buy time?

-He is buying off his Gulf partners?

-He is giving the assault on Lebanon time?

-Everyone has walked out of the so-called Board of Peace?

-The zionists are crying too much because they have been massively attacked and the iron dome is a dome of paper now?

-He is flatout lying. (You win the prize, but only half a prize – there is more).

-Russia and China quietly threatened?

-He is manipulating the oil market (and other commodities – oil price dropped immediately).

-We wait for Iran to make a statement ….. AND, its out.

Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

There are no talks between Tehran and Washington. The U.S. president’s statements are part of attempts to lower energy prices and buy time to implement his military plans.

Yes, there are initiatives from regional countries to de-escalate, and our response to all of them has been clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all such requests should be directed to Washington.

‘There is no direct contact with Trump, not even through intermediaries’ — Fars News

(Lying DingDong SofS! – Apologies for the non-professionalism! Lying Killer DingDong  Idiot SofStinkingS!)

From the Kobeissi Letter:

This is absolutely insane:

At 7:04 AM ET today, President Trump said “the US and Iran have had productive discussions” to end the Iran War.

By 7:10 AM ET, the S&P 500 surged +240 points adding +$2 TRILLION in market cap.

27 minutes later, Iran completely denied all of President Trump’s claims and said there has been “no contact” with the US.

By 8:00 AM ET. the S&P 500 had fallen -120 points erasing -$1 trillion in market cap.

That’s a $3 TRILLION swing market cap in 56 minutes, just in the S&P 500.

What is happening here?

🔹🔹🔹🔹

This is Sky News, brutally mining the situation. But, I think for once they are realistic.

Another ‘leader’ that is barking mad desperately seeking for relevance in the chaos: ‘Argentina is in a position to guarantee Europe’s energy security’ — Argentina’s President Milei

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Dominic Li, one of the Chinese representatives on the UN Human Rights Council:

“When the national security law came into effect in Hong Kong in 2020, the West condemned us, imposed sanctions, and accused us of human rights violations. But here’s the thing. Since then, Hong Kong’s economy has recovered, tourism has flourished, and residents have regained a sense of security.

So I want to ask you. Why on earth does the US arrogantly lecture us about morality? A country ruled by Epstein’s people is lecturing my country, which has lifted 800 million people out of poverty!

Who gave the UK, a country that arrested 12,000 of its own citizens for social media posts, the right to lecture us about civil liberties? And why are NATO countries lecturing us about human rights while completely ignoring the Zionist genocide in Gaza?

Who are they to lecture us about justice? We will not allow our nation’s voice to be silenced by those who view human rights as a bargaining chip and a foreign policy tool. We will not listen to those who weaponize human rights while their own hands are stained with the blood of Palestinians and Iranians!

They conveniently forget this. And we will not rest until all countries are treated equally here. Until hypocrisy is exposed. Until genocide is resisted. And until peace prevails not just in words, but in deeds. Thank you, Mr. President.”

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Iranian Defense Council: The only way for countries not involved in the war to pass through the Strait of Hormuz is by coordinating with Iran.

You don’t even need to read between the lines.

Chinese spokesperson Mao Ning, when asked whether her country exports military or dual-use materials to Iran, stated:

China opposes the illegal military strikes against Iran by Israel and the United States in violation of international law. China supports Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and national dignity, and in protecting its legitimate rights and interests.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Netanyahu (dead or alive) calls on world leaders to join US-Israeli war on Iran. So much for ‘winning’ the war…

Netanyahu: ‘Time to see leaders of REST of countries JOIN UP’ against Iran. ‘Happy to say I can see some of them BEGINNING TO MOVE in that direction’. ‘But MORE is needed’

The death blockade on Cuba:  Cuba’s national grid collapses for second time in a week

The third major outage this month affected 10 million people, leaving them completely disconnected, as the US-imposed oil blockade disrupted fuel supplies.  I cannot confirm but media is in that in one hospital, every patient on a ventilator, and every baby in an incubator died last night.

Iran’s president urges BRICS to ‘play role’ in stopping attacks on Iran.

Pezeshkian has said that since India currently chairs BRICS, it should help halt aggression against Iran

In a phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pezeshkian also proposed establishing a regional security framework made up of West Asian countries “aimed at ensuring peace and stability in the region through regional cooperation without foreign interference.”

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) opened Saturday in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.  We will see if the region supports Cuba and what they decide in terms of self.protection and the so-called US new stance, claiming the hemisphere.  There is also the issue of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro where Venezuela is prohibited to fund his defense in US courts.

Burkina Faso remains a rare light in our current darkness.  They’ve set together a Five-Year Economic Plan with $64 billion after kicking out French neo-colonizers
(Full article (https://peoplesdispatch.org/2026/03/14/burkina-faso-launches-five-year-plan/) on People’s Dispatch)

“Using our sovereign resources, we can sustainably transform our economy and improve the lives of our people,” insisted Finance Minister Aboubakar Nacanabo, highlighting the significance of this break from the previous regime’s reliance on external funding.  The objectives are:

1) Reduction of the poverty rate from 42% to 35%

2) Increase in life expectancy from 61 to 68 years

3) Increase in electricity generation capacity from 685 MW to more than 2,500 MW

4) And, most importantly, retaking control over the whole territory of the country​

This is what happens when you kick out the colonizers.  Burkina Faso did an interesting thing by suspending the export of fresh tomatoes to supply local factories in order to create more valuable tomato products for export.  This is exactly what China asked South Africa to do.  Develop your products!

China: “We don’t care. China has been here for 5000 years and most of the time, there was no United States”
