Exclusive: Trump demands immediate pardon for Netanyahu to focus on Iran "I want him to focus on the war and not on the f*cking court case," Trump told Axios.

President Trump told Axios on Thursday that Israeli President Isaac Herzog must pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "today" — calling Herzog "a disgrace" for failing to act over the last year.

Iran-Krieg: Beschuss einer Schule in Minab – was wir wissen und was nicht Am 28. Februar wurde eine Grundschule im Südiran beschossen. Laut iranischen Quellen starben weit über hundert Menschen. Der SPIEGEL konnte etliche Videos und Fotos verifizieren, die das Ausmaß der Zerstörung erahnen lassen.

Wichtig: Entscheidung der 🇱🇧 Regierung #Hizballah militärische Aktionen zu verbieten wurde auch von d zweiten schiitischen Partei AMAL mitgetragen u die ist zumindest im Parlament auf Augenhöhe. 2023/4 hatten sie noch (symbolisch) mit HA gekämpft. HA hat innenpolitisch keine starken Verbündeten mehr.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Scheinbar werden die Parlamentswahlen im #Libanon um 2 Jahre verschoben. Ist wohl notwendig aber wirft die politische Entwicklung enorm zurück. Ein Land in der Dauerkrise.

Two drones target Duqm Port infrastructure Oman has condemned a drone attack on Duqm port that injured one worker. Authorities are taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety.

Why attacking #Oman? The country which tried to save the negotiations…
Being a mediator should in theory at least spare one from direct attacks…

Bill Clinton beteuert Unschuld – erreicht der Epstein-Skandal jetzt Donald Trump? Das politische Erdbeben im Skandal um den US-Sexualstraftäter Jeffrey Epstein nimmt kein Ende. Die Vorladung des Ex-Präsidenten vor den Kongress könnte zum Präzedenzfall werden

Wenn das ansatzweise stimmt (wovon ich ausgehe) muss man Trumps außenpolitisches Handeln auch vor diesem Hintergrund analysieren.

With these hits on US assets in the region, Iran is answering a long-open question about their capacity to retaliate. There is now a question about Iran’s capacity to continue launching, but it’s now a race to knock out launchers before interceptor stocks are depleted.

US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, gave a truly unhinged interview on Tucker that zealously genuflected to the Israeli right (see left).

Huckabee’s interview was so insane that it united the whole rest of the region—including the UAE—to make a joint statement against his remarks (see right).

Important to remember that prominent leaders of large Druze militias existing b4 2025 are either in Damascus now (Abdel Baqi from Ahrar Jabal al-Arab and Laith al-Balous) or have been pushed aside like Yahya al-Hajjar from the men of dignity.

BRUNO KREISKY AND THE MIDDLE EAST: BUILDING DIPLOMACY AND RECONSTRUCTING PEACE Podcast-Folge · Kreisky Forum Talks · 11.02.2026 · 1 Std. 30 Min.

New podcast out! My panel discussion at @kreiskyforum.bsky.social on Bruno Kreisky’s 115th birthday.
My take: Austria’s role in the Egyptian-Israeli peace accords is underappreciated. #Kreisky Middle East legacy goes beyond the usual narrative.
