[2026-03-29] @leftward_ink@x.com: Since this is gaining traction outside of people who live here: it is also important to note that energy reduction already began months ago outside the capital, in the places that even had regular electricity. Israel holds the power switch & the pricing of gas—
@a_samir48@x.com: Btw Iran is the sanctioned country at war not Egypt if u happen to be confused. Glad we have strategic energy security

Australia’s Foresight Failure on US Attacks on Iran — Global Times [2026-03-29]
Expand summary
Australia rushed to cheerlead the US & Israel’s imperialist war of aggression on Iran, with Canberra declaring support for the strikes & refusing to question their legal basis. The neocon fantasy of a swift regime collapse backfired: “The Islamic Republic did not fracture; it consolidated,” & Iranian society rallied behind the flag. Iran’s retaliation & control of the Strait of Hormutz have sent Brent crude past $110/barrel, exposing Australia’s “self-inflicted wound” as a fuel-importing nation with only 36 days of petrol reserves. “BYD showrooms have been mobbed; electric vehicle sales have exploded,” [😎] while AUKUS submarine promises look shaky with US military resources strained by the Iran conflict. Canberra faces “soaring living costs, agricultural risk, alliance doubts & a public increasingly unwilling to subsidize Washington’s adventures. … Following a flailing empire is not leadership; it is national self-harm.”
Israeli Strike Hits Al Araby TV Office in Tehran, Wounding Several People — PressTV [2026-03-29]
Expand summary
An Israeli airstrike targeted the Al Araby TV headquarters in Tehran, wounding at least 10 people & forcing a halt to live broadcasting. Iran’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva called on the international community to condemn the illegal US-Israeli aggression & demanded suspension of aggressor regimes’ ITU privileges. Iran has swiftly retaliated with missile & drone attacks on Israeli-occupied lands & US bases in the region.
Expand summary
As many as 70 British nationals have been detained in the UAE for photographing Iranian drone & missile strikes, facing up to 10 years in prison under “draconian laws that purport to protect ‘national security & stability.’” Tourists, expats & cabin crew are held in overcrowded cells, denied sleep, food & medicine; “even passively receiving an image is deemed illegal” & can result in fines up to £200,000. The clampdown aims to protect Dubai’s “carefully constructed brand” as a safe travel destination. One victim who managed to leave said: “Dubai is a corporation, a gleaming global brand desperate to keep the facade intact. So, once tourists & expats take photos of a missile intercept, or a drone strike, they become the enemy.”
Iran says to target USS Abraham Lincoln carrier if it moves within range – CGTN [2026-03-29]
Threatening Iran by expanding its target bank (& Yemen’s again HAHAHA) to airkkkraft kkkarriers really shows how deep the delusion goes I hope they do it
Belgian media started reporting on there being signals of the US preparing their ground invasion. They gave no further details though. They also said Iran has in turn mobilized 1 million people.
Listen Closely, Gallant: Handala’s Eyes and Ears Are Everywhere
Once again, the vigilant hand of resistance has struck at the rotten heart of the occupying regime. This time, it was Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defense of the Zionist entity, who tasted the bitter flavor of disgrace, helplessness, and humiliation. Through a successful cyber operation, Handala’s sons have infiltrated Gallant’s confidential and personal systems, gaining access to all his secret communications and correspondence.
To prove the authenticity of this operation and to ensure transparency, some of these chats and documents have been published as PoC (Proof of Concept) for the public. However, due to the high intelligence value and ongoing exploitation, the majority of the chats will not be released for now, leaving the regime’s leaders in a state of sleepless anxiety.
So far, over 70 pages of Yoav Gallant’s contacts have been fully exposed, sending a clear message to his friends and accomplices: there is nowhere left to hide.
At this moment, we must thank Mr. Gallant with irony and ridicule, for while he was passionately narrating his crimes, he failed to notice that Handala was listening closely! Just as we previously extracted the coordinates of the secret “Site 81” base from Gabi Ashkenazi’s emails and turned it into a missile target during the 12-day war, this time we have uncovered the exact locations of 11 ultra-secret military bases from your files. These bases will be targeted by precise missile strikes in the coming hours.
As promised, the children of resistance are working tirelessly, day and night, to execute combined cyber and missile operations—leaving no safe haven for the enemy.
Hand in hand, until the complete liberation of Palestine

US-Israeli Aggression on Iran: What Happened on 29th Day of the Imposed War — Press TV [2026-03-28]
On the 29th day of the US-Israeli imperialist war of aggression that began February 28, overnight airstrikes hit residential areas in Tehran, Isfahan, Karaj, & Zanjan—killing at least five civilians in Zanjan—along with Iran University of Science & Technology, a clinic in Minab, & water infrastructure in Khuzestan. The IRGC launched 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚃𝚛𝚞𝚎 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚎 𝟺: 𝙴𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝙰𝚕-𝙰𝚚𝚜𝚊 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚖, striking six American landing craft (three sunk), a Dubai warehouse housing Ukrainian anti-drone systems with 21 Ukrainian personnel present, & the Emirates Aluminum plant in Abu Dhabi which suffered “significant” damage. IRGC air defense shot down an American MQ-9 over Shiraz & struck an F-16 before it could land at a Saudi airport.
Foreign Affairs assessed the conflict as “more akin to Russia’s war in Ukraine” with Iran’s response leading to “a war of attrition & stalemate,” concluding the US “has no clear path to achieving a decisive victory.” Trump acknowledged the USS Gerald R. Ford was attacked “from 17 directions” with Iranian aircraft launching “every 32 seconds,” adding “NATO is a paper tiger” while Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, & Kuwait “fought.” Yemen’s Ansarallah launched ballistic missiles at “sensitive Israeli military sites,” Hezbollah carried out 82 operations against Israeli troops in 24 hours, & Israeli strikes killed two Lebanese journalists. Brent crude rose 53% since the war began, with Bloomberg reporting “the market declines…are turning into a full-blown crash on Wall Street.”

Frame grab from footage depicting a missile launch during the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)'s ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 that began on February 28, 2026
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced targeting two industries connected to US military and aerospace sectors in a combined missile and drone operation.
In a statement on Saturday, the Corps said the strikes were carried out jointly by its Aerospace Force and Navy in response to “the malicious actions of the US-Zionist enemy targeting the industrial infrastructure of our beloved country from the Persian Gulf’s littoral states.”
The two targeted facilities were identified as the Emirates Aluminum (EMAL) plant and the Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA) plant.
The statement highlighted their strategic significance, noting that EMAL houses the world’s longest aluminum production line with a capacity of 1.3 million tons, while ALBA operates with American investment and shareholding. The latter, it added, “plays a significant role in supplying the military-industrial production of the US terrorist army.”
Warning of escalated response
The IRGC emphasized that Iran’s response to threats and acts of aggression “will no longer follow a mere ‘eye for an eye’ approach.”
“Instead, beyond any level of aggression, a decisive blow will be delivered to the military and economic structure of the enemies.”
The strikes have followed targeting of numerous infrastructural facilities inside Iran during the United States’ and the Israeli regime’s latest bout of unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic that began late last month.
The aggressors have, among other targets, struck the country’s major steel producers, universities, schools, hospitals, and residential areas.
Shortly after the onset of the American-Israeli aggression on February 28, the Corps launched unrelenting retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic enemy targets across the region using hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles as well as attack drones.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps struck the Emirates Aluminum (EMAL) plant in the UAE & the Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA) plant in a combined missile & drone operation. The strikes were a response to “the malicious actions of the US-Zionist enemy targeting the industrial infrastructure of our beloved country from the Persian Gulf’s littoral states.” EMAL houses “the world’s longest aluminum production line” & ALBA operates with American investment, “play[ing] a significant role in supplying the military-industrial production of the US terrorist army.” Iran’s response to aggression “will no longer follow a mere ‘eye for an eye’ approach,” in addition, "beyond any level of aggression, a decisive blow will be delivered to the military and economic structure of the enemies.”
Russia is transferring upgraded Shahed drones to Iran, according to AP.
Russian engineers have reportedly improved the Iranian drones, adding cameras, AI components, and jet engines, as well as improving navigation and electronic warfare protection.
Intelligence agencies say negotiations between Russia and Iran have been “very active” this month, but the scale of the transfers is still unknown.
The White House stated that this will not impact the effectiveness of the US, which has already “destroyed more than 140 Iranian vessels and reduced attacks on Iran by 90%.”
Makes zero sense, as parts could just come from China.
🇸🇦 UPDATE: First images emerging from Prince Sultan Air Base show the E-3 Sentry AWACS was not merely damaged, it was destroyed.
The aircraft carries an estimated value of $500 million. The US operates only 16 in its entire fleet, they cannot be replaced.
Footage aired by Al Jazeera from Tehran shows a child’s foot hanging from the side of a house after a U.S.-Israeli missile struck a residential unit.

Disclaimer: please don’t watch this if you have a weak stomach or if you are not mentally ready for this type of images.
Rage, helplessness, pain, and a thirst for yankee/zio blood are what these images generates.
Sadly, it’s just one example among countless horrendous crimes committed by the genocidal maniacs disguised as soldiers of the Yankee empire, since its inception.
A reminder for all those who “care” about the loss of life within the horde of criminals that are the empire’s armed forces. I couldn’t care less; they are criminals of the worst kind, from their commander-in-chief to the last recruit, and let’s not forget all the accomplices in the media.
🇮🇷 The people of Rasht take to the streets with a message for Washington:
“We strongly welcome your ground invasion! Thank you!”
“Iran’s historical sites have room for one more American cemetery!”

26 March 2026Marines, Our Nation is in a consequential moment. Global events are shaping our nation’s security, and we must be ready.
I ask you directly: Are you truly ready to deploy, fight, and win? Are your skills sharp, your standards high, and your gear prepared for immediate movement? Is your desert MARPAT readily available, is your gear packed and ready to pick up and move, or is it stored away in a corner of your home? Are your family’s affairs in order? When the call comes, readiness will be assumed, not questioned. Your readiness is not a declaration; it is a daily commitment.
This is not a theoretical exercise. Our forces are currently engaged in operations connected to Iran and are positioned to preserve stability in the Western Hemisphere. Our enemies get a vote, and a mass mobilization could become reality. We are operating in this environment now. History demands our readiness today, tomorrow, and every day.
Your preparation for combat is forged in your daily actions, your training, and the seriousness with which you handle every responsibility. We are measured not by our intentions, but by what we can do right now.
Check your readiness. Tighten your standards. Prepare your family. Our nation expects a disciplined, capable force ready for immediate action. That force is Marine Forces Reserve. That standard begins with, and must be held by, you.
FIGHT’S ON!
Leonard F. Anderson Lieutenant General, U.S. Marine Corps Commander, Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South
The Iran War’s Economic Winners & Losers – Ones & Tooze (FP) [2026-03-27]
Paywalling the transcript (provided by me here) but not the podcast is so funny to me. Let’s check in on the Keynesians… 😩 Even the little bits like Tooze saying “it turns out” helium affects AI are hysterical! People said that for years grandpa!
Transcript here. Make sure to set your VPN to Brazil so the ads are in Portuguese. 🤩👂
Remember these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the executive officer of the USS Spruance, who ordered the launch of Tomahawk missiles three times, killing 168 innocent children at a school in Minab.
Don’t they have children of their own?
