US President Donald Trump reiterated on Monday that he was “open” to engaging with Iran to end the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran in February.
“The failing Nation of Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly. I will determine whether or not the USA will choose to engage — The concept of which we are open to,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said on Monday that it had shot down an advanced US MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz, as diplomatic efforts faced a setback with the postponement of a meeting between Iran and Gulf states.

Donald Trump calls for help from NATO allies in securing the Strait of Hormuz despite saying on 7 March 2026 that they don’t need people to join wars after they’ve already won. He’s challenged with the claim that he lies as much as the IDF.

Israeli military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir on Monday ordered an investigation into the leak of classified material used in a documentary that examines the Israeli military’s use of artificial intelligence in targeting civilians in Gaza.
Zamir also instructed the military’s chief legal adviser to examine whether legal action could be taken in connection with the documentary, titled “Naza,” and against individuals involved in its production, according to an Israeli military statement.
According to the film, AI-assisted targeting systems were used in Israeli attacks in Gaza that resulted in killing dozens of Palestinian civilians.
Zamir convened senior military officials on Monday to discuss the documentary and the allegations it raises.
The Israeli military said it rejected the film’s portrayal of its conduct based on excerpts and a promotional trailer that had been made public. It acknowledged, however, that it had not yet viewed the documentary in full.

The military said it had previously requested access to the complete film so that it could examine and respond to the allegations in detail.
Zamir strongly rejected the documentary’s characterization of Israeli military operations, accusing its producers of presenting false and distorted allegations against Israeli soldiers and commanders.
“Reports surfacing so far indicate that the film is neither a critique of the Israeli army nor an attempt to ascertain the truth,” Zamir said, describing its allegations as “blood libels” and a “deliberate distortion of reality.”
He further accused the documentary of seeking to portray the military as deliberately acting unlawfully and said it could contribute to efforts to delegitimise Israel’s military operations and expose Israeli personnel to legal and other risks.

Norway is moving toward legislation that would criminalise certain commercial dealings with businesses in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, while several other Western countries are considering similar measures, according to a report by Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom.
The newspaper, citing reports and comments by Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, said the proposed legislation would apply to Norwegian citizens and companies engaged in trade with businesses operating in Israeli settlements.
Violations could carry penalties of up to three years in prison, according to the report.
Eide expressed optimism that the legislation could be approved by the Norwegian parliament this autumn, amid growing political pressure for measures addressing Israeli settlement activity and developments in the Palestinian territories.

According to Israel Hayom, Norway is pursuing the initiative alongside 10 other Western countries, although the report did not provide details on the legislative process or proposed measures in each of those states.
Eide also said the US response to the initiative had been “surprisingly mild,” interpreting Washington’s reaction as an indication of changing international attitudes toward Israeli government policies.
Israel’s government has significantly expanded settlement activity in the West Bank since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s current coalition took office in late 2022. According to figures cited in the report, the government has approved the establishment or recognition of 104 settlements and the creation of 160 agricultural outposts.
The United Nations considers the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to be occupied Palestinian territory and says Israeli settlements there have no legal validity under international law.

Donald Trump, the strong and smart (High IQ!) president in spades also explains that he’s a dancing fool but that YMCA is not gay young man.

Over an hour of video, I much prefer far shorter videos but that’s life. You can listen to it instead of watching it of course, get on with something else as it’s on, pause it and come back to it …
I featured a different video with Aaron Bastani from Novara Media on climate which was excellent. That video dealt with the physical realities of climate change while this one deals much more with the politics, how the North Sea has been drained and any new fossil fuels will be sold on the global market with negligible benefit to the UK, climate denial, etc.
Donald Trump urges you to ignore facts and reality and be a Climate Science denier like him. He says that he makes millions and millions for destroying the planet, Burn, Baby, Burn and Flood, Baby, Flood.
Nigel Farage urges you to ignore facts and reality and be a climate science denier like him and his Deputy Richard Tice. He says that Reform UK has received £Millions and £Millions from the fossil fuel industry to promote climate denial and destroy the planet.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham says that he’s going to permit the Jackdaw and Rosebank North Sea fossil fuel projects. He urges you to ignore facts and reality and be a climate science denier like him
