Trump glaubte, im Iran einen Akt politischen Caesarismus inszenieren zu können: veni, vidi, vici. Ein kurzer Schlag, ein kollabierendes Regime, ein historischer Triumph. Doch die Realität folgt selten den Dramaturgien imperialer Selbstgewissheit. Mein Kommentar 👉🏽

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

We reported yesterday that footage showed a US Tomahawk missile hitting a facility metres from the school. In the footage, smoke could already be seen rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...
Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girls’ school in Minab.
It’s not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.
Two of the world's most wanted men, Daniel and Christy Kinahan, were photographed at an MMA event, Bellingcat and @thetimes.com found — their most recent sighting since the US issued multi-million dollar bounties. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

If Russia has, to quote President Trump, “all the cards” in its fight against Ukraine, “why has it achieved so little?" Lawrence Freedman asks. “Why has its progress been so often frustrated by a much smaller army’s resilience and innovative tactics, as well as its own operational weaknesses?”
"Iran had built the appearance of a deterrent without the substance of one. When the moment came, the signal proved hollow, and Iran is now paying the price for a weapon it was never willing to actually build."

Given constraints on munitions & logistics, I expected US to launch limited Iran campaign. Trump has instead announced most expansive goals imaginable: regime change, destruction of conventional military + end of nuclear ambitions. Unclear how US will square this circle.
"Newcomers to this existentialist #Simenon... might do well to begin with The Strangers in the House, for it is the quintessential #romandur: direct, spare, sensuously atmospheric, hypnotic in its realism, and honest in a way that few novelists would dare to be." (John Banville)

A reminder that America supplied Iran with its civil nuclear programme with no regard for who might come after the Shah. If there's an emblem of consistent US foreign policy blunder over the last 60 years it is Iran. Alas, it will continue to be Iran.
"Putin's too steeped in blood to accept anything less than Ukrainian capitulation. Because of his stubbornness, he's jeopardising his fortune of having a pro-Russian US president. Some people can’t take yes for an answer." Swamp Notes with the great @christopherjm.ft.com. as.ft.com/r/b9514b95-e...

'“No one seems to be in the loop on anything, from policy decisions to personnel,” a U.S. official in Asia told me. That includes relationships with allies, which have traditionally been routed through State but now are centered on Trump’s own personal communications with world leaders.'
President Trump “misused the State of the Union ritual in ways so radical as to call the ritual itself into question,” @davidfrum.bsky.social argues:

Orbán sucks.
Four years after Russia's invasion, Ukraine has become a proving ground for new technologies of death as relentless drone surveillance extends the battlefield ever further beyond the front.
