Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area โ€“ along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images โ€“ suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

DoD obviously knows where it conducted TLAM strikes and could have acknowledged responsibility for this tragedy even while it investigated the attack.

That looks like a TLAM and that is almost certainly the IRGC compound in Minab, looking north-ish across Imam Khomeini Blvd./Route 91.

Has he considered not shelving rail projects? Not cutting funding for expansion of public transport could be worth looking at too.

Ukrainian pilots of the 28th Mechanized Brigade documented Russian phosphorus attacks on residential buildings in Kostyantynivka, immediately followed by a FAB-1500 strike. Official estimates show about 2000 civilians still in the city.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Every single detail of this story is heartbreaking.

Every single aspect of this system seems designed to inflict suffering on the vulnerable.

It is time we stop this madness. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. We have to stop these billionaires ruining our planet.

Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa at the UNGA's 11th Emergency special session:

No country in modern history has endured an attack of such gravity, scale, magnitude, and duration.

Russia's war of aggression is imperial and neo-colonial in nature.

Ukraine has significantly accelerated construction of anti drone nets in border areas to protect key logistics roads near the front line, Defense Minister Fedorov said. Another 1.6 billion hryvnias was allocated, with 125 km covered in February and up to 20 km per day planned in March. #Ukraine

Military build ups generate their own momentum. They reach a point where the forces have to be used or pulled out. That was a factor in the timing of Bushโ€™s 2003 assault on Iraq. Trump has now got himself in a position where he needs a wider deal than Iran seems likely to offer. 1/5

Gerry Thornley: IRFU should consider leaving X after racist comments made to Edwin Edogbo It is all well and good the IRFU โ€˜investigatingโ€™ racist comments, when the most effective way to avoid it is to stop using the platform

Just get out of there. Zero upside to stay.

The question is not the lobbying. The question is how many of these lines- like the banning access to social media to under 16s but not making it the duty of Meta to enforce- appear in the mouths of our Ministers over the next few months.

Another masterclass in midfield play from Stuart McCloskey today.

Ireland's top carrier with 15, among the top tacklers. Deft passes throughout and his offloading has become a game-changer for Ireland.

And that track-back tackle on Marcus Smith!

21-42 in Twickenham, what a match! There Irish players stood up and fought and I hope they all take the right lessons out of this. But that utterly changes the #M6N and keeps the Triple Crown alive! #ENGvIRE

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedianโ€™s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the โ€œbanality of evil personifiedโ€ in the U.S. immigration crackdown.
