Iranian officials say Israel carried out some of the drone strikes on Gulf energy sites
Two other Iranian sources told MEE that Israel's foreign intelligence agency, the Mossad, had carried out some of the drone attacks, adding that the Islamic Republic had detected their activity on Iranian soil. They said that authorities were in the process of locating the warehouses used by the Mossad to store their drones and that Iran was committed to "taking them all out". "We would not be surprised if there are such warehouses and operational rooms in other countries in the region that Israel would use to target our Gulf neighbours from," one of the sources said.

At least 87 Iranian sailors were killed in the attack on the Iris Dena on Wednesday. The frigate was sailing in international waters as it returned from a naval exercise organised by India in the Bay of Bengal.

US military launches operation in Ecuador to combat drug trafficking
Ecuador’s defense ministry said details of the offensive operations were classified. The announcement came a day after the South American country said Washington had joined a “new phase” in its so-called “war on drugs”. Daniel Noboa, Ecuador’s president and a close ally of Donald Trump, said Washington was among “regional allies” taking part in the operation against drug cartels, which use ports to smuggle cocaine to international markets.

Rift between Javier Milei and his vice president deepens with accusations of coup-mongering and corruption
The conflict between Javier Milei and his vice president, Victoria Villarruel, continues to escalate. In his opening address of the parliamentary year, while insulting and mocking opposition legislators, Milei alluded to an alleged conspiracy involving members of his government to try to overthrow him — and with a rather unsubtle gesture, he seemed to point to Villarruel, seated behind him.

Anti-dynasty bill passed by House panel criticized: ‘Prohibit, not regulate’
“Any enabling law that falls short of outright prohibition is not reform—it is a mockery of the Constitution, and we refuse to be party to it,” the lawmakers from the Makabayan bloc said in a joint statement. Dinagat Islands Rep. Kaka Bagao also asserted during the deliberation that other provisions filed by House legislators do not reflect on the bill.

Record Numbers of US Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k)s in Trump Economy
Even as President Donald Trump has declared that the US is in a “golden age” with the “greatest” economy on record, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that a record number of US workers are dipping into their retirement savings. The Journal cited recent data from Vanguard Group showing that 6% of the 401(k) plans it administers took a hardship withdrawal in 2025, up from 4.8% that took such a withdrawal in 2024.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis backs a new bill targeting unions; those who support him won't be affected
After losing 209 union elections, the Freedom Foundation and DeSantis are pushing a new bill – Senate Bill 1296 – through the legislature this year. And this bill rewrites the rules for those union elections. Under this bill, the union doesn't just have to win with a majority of the people who decide to vote, they would now be required to have a majority of every employee in the collective bargaining unit.

Tennessee GOP effort to track K-12 student immigration status advances
The new House bill requires Tennessee public schools to collect documentation on either a student’s citizenship or immigration status. Schools would then be required to report that anonymized data to the Tennessee Department of Education, legislative leaders, and the Tennessee Immigration Enforcement office. That sparked concerns from some immigration advocates about data privacy.

>Prominent Iraqi women's rights activist Yanar Mohammed killed by gunmen in suspected assassination
And yet we won't be hearing a peep from any bleeding heart liberal in the west about that. But I guess that's good, even if in a convoluted way: since Iraqi women are deserving of the west's attention - and therefore of a west-led liberation - than we won't probably see Iraqi female schools getting bombed in broad daylight.

Nikos Mottas : Mass Expulsion in Lebanon as Israel Expands War: “We Don’t Know Where to Go”
The recent alert in Cyprus following threats of Iranian drone and retaliatory missile strikes once again exposes a dangerous reality that governments in Athens and Nicosia persistently attempt to obscure: the presence of U.S., NATO and British military bases turns both Greece and Cyprus into potential targets in an expanding imperialist war. For days now, the wider region has been moving ever closer to the possibility of a generalized confrontation in the Middle East. The escalation triggered by the aggressive policies of the United States and Israel against Iran has already created a climate of extreme tension across the entire Eastern Mediterranean. Within this volatile context, the British sovereign bases in Cyprus—long used as operational hubs for military interventions in the Middle East—have been placed on heightened alert amid warnings that they could become targets of retaliation.

Hundreds in Minneapolis Protest the War on Iran
“From Iran to Palestine, stop the U.S. war machine,” chanted the crowd of hundreds that showed up to Chicago Ave. and Lake St. in south Minneapolis on Feb. 28 for an emergency anti-war protest against the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran. Just hours earlier, at least 165 people — mostly schoolgirls — were killed when bombs struck an Iranian elementary school. “These shameful attacks happened right in the middle of U.S.-Iran negotiations,” said Sarah Martin, from Women Against Military Madness (WAMM), into a megaphone hooked to speakers sitting in the back of a truck in the lot of the building that formerly housed Roberts Shoes. “While the Iranian Foreign Minister and his Jordanian counterpart announced that the negotiations were going well, Trump ordered the military attack.” As of March 4, over 1,000 Iranians have been killed by U.S. and Israeli air bombings, including the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with many of his family members and several high-ranking officials. Speakers at the protest shared a main theme; they didn’t trust the government’s reasoning for the preemptive attack, while many noted how the aggressors are closely tied to the Epstein files, and this was a great distraction for them. “I’m here to remind you guys that our enemy is not the people of Iran,” said Mnar Adley, founder and director of independent media organization MintPress News. “Our enemy are the parasitic billionaires that are running this country,” she said are “literally raping our children.”

James Connolly: The Slums and the Trenches
A speaker at a recent recruiting meeting in Dublin declared that the Dublin slums were more unhealthy than the trenches in Flanders, and the same ‘bright saying’ has been repeated in a circular issued by the recruiting authorities. It is the English idea of wit. Consider it, my friends, consider it well. The trenches in Flanders have been the graves of scores of thousands of young Irishmen, scores of thousands of the physically strongest of the Irish race have met their death there in desperate battle with a brave enemy who bore them no malice and only wished well for their country. A very large proportion of these young Irishmen were born and reared in the slums and tenement houses of Dublin. These same slums are notorious the world over for their disease-breeding unhealthy character. All the world over it is known that the poor of Dublin are housed under conditions worse than those of any civilised people on God’s earth. From out of those slums these poor misguided brothers of ours have been tricked and deluded into giving battle for England – into waging war upon the German nation which does not permit anywhere within its boundaries such slums and fever dens as the majority of Dublin’s poor must live in. When at last the common-sense of the people of Dublin reasserts itself, and men and women begin to protest against this suicidal destruction of the Irish race in a war that is not of their making, and for an Empire that they abhor, the cheap wits of the recruiters sneeringly tell them that there is more danger of death in a Dublin slum than in a trench in the line of battle. But you can die honourably in a Dublin slum. If you die of fever, or even of want, because you preferred to face fever and want, rather than sell your soul to the enemies of your class and country, such death is an honourable death, a thousand times more honourable than if you won a V.C. committing murder at the bidding of your country’s enemies.
