France: Regime suspects “Iran link” after foiling bomb attack outside Bank of America
Source: SFGate
“French authorities are investigating a suspected link to Iran after thwarting a bomb attack outside a Bank of America building in Paris, the interior minister said Monday. Five people are in custody. Authorities suspect a link due to similarities with other recent attempted attacks in Europe for which a pro-Iran group claimed responsibility, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said. On Saturday morning, Paris police officers spotted two suspects carrying a shopping bag near the Bank of America office in the 8th arrondissement of the French capital. The national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office is looking into alleged terrorism-related offenses. The ‘modus operandi is in every respect similar to actions that have been carried out in the Netherlands and in Belgium’, Nuñez said on French radio RTL. In those cases, there were claims by a pro-Iranian group that ‘linked them to the conflict’ in the Middle-East.” (03/30/26)

by Ivan Eland
“uring the past three-quarters of a century, beginning in 1950 and continuing right through to the current war with Iran, U.S. presidents repeatedly have risked involvement in conflicts that resulted in military quagmires with disappointing endings. Why do presidents keep repeating the same mistakes in the name of ‘national security?'” (03/30/26)

“Kosovo on Monday approved sending troops to Gaza for an international security force as part of a U.S.-backed initiative after last year’s ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Several nations including Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan and Albania have committed troops to the International Stabilization Force to keep peace and back a transitional administration in Gaza under U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘Board of Peace.’ Kosovo’s government said in a televised ministerial meeting on Monday the defence ministry had decided to send a force to Gaza after receiving a U.S. invitation in December.” (03/30/26)

Iran Teaches America How to Lose a War in Thirty Days
Source: exile in happy valley
by Nicky Reid
“Iran as we once knew it has essentially been reduced to the world’s largest open-air burn unit, and yet no one but Donald Trump seems to be foolish enough to believe that America is actually winning this war. Iran may be devastated beyond belief, but someone is still fighting like hell from the smoldering ruins and the imperial machine tasked with swiftly containing this undead menace before the American people can smell a quagmire is beginning to show signs of desperation as they lose control of the narrative. You can see it written all over Donald Trump’s leather face as he attempts to make sense of the havoc in real time, declaring victory over and over again before announcing another escalation of violence, bragging about negotiations that Iran denies having any interest in as thousands of American troops are positioned in the region for an invasion.” (03/29/26)
