Russia has begun arming Iran with drones in what is the first known transfer of lethal munitions from Moscow to Tehran since the war commenced.

Senior Iranian and Russian officials began discussing drone deliveries just days into the conflict, two officials briefed on Western intelligence reports told the Financial Times.

The shipment is expected to be processed by the end of March.

Russia is one of Iran’s closest allies and has provided crucial satellite, targeting and intelligence data, along with humanitarian aid.

Iran has fired more than 3,000 drones in its retaliatory attacks against Israel and Gulf states in the past four weeks.

According to analysts, Tehran is seeking more advanced Russian models to enhance its own capabilities and improve the effectiveness of its strikes.

It is understood that Russia is providing its Geran-2 drone, which is based on the Shahed drones that Iran has been supplying to Moscow to bolster its offensive in Ukraine.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/yemens-houthis-ready-join-iran-war-if-needed-raising-new-shipping-risk-2026-03-26/
ADEN/GENEVA, March 26 - Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement, whose attacks on the Red Sea caused international shipping and trade chaos during the Gaza war, stands ready to strike the key waterway again in solidarity with Tehran, one Houthi leader told Reuters, a move that would deepen a global oil and economic crisis brought on by the Middle East war.
If the Houthis open a new front in the conflict, one obvious target would be the Bab al-Mandab Strait off the coast of Yemen, a key shipping chokepoint and narrow passageway that controls sea traffic towards the Suez Canal after Iran effectively shut the critical Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Shi'ite allies in Lebanon and Iraq have joined the war in the region unleashed by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Tehran. But Yemen's Houthi rebels, heavily armed and capable of striking Gulf neighbours and causing major disruption to maritime navigation around the Arabian Peninsula, have not yet entered the fray.
"We stand fully militarily ready with all options. As for other details having to do with determining zero hour they are left to leadership and we are monitoring and following up with the developments and will know when is the suitable time to move," said the Houthi leader, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the topic.
"Until now Iran is doing well and is defeating the enemy every day and the battle is going in its direction. If anything contrary to this happens then we can assess."
Some diplomats and analysts say the Houthis are awaiting an opportune moment to enter the conflict, in coordination with Iran, in order to exert maximum pressure.
The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz to Gulf Arab hydrocarbon exports and a shift to heavy reliance on the Red Sea might provide such an opportunity.

François Pauly will become the new chairman of the Vatican bank IOR. He is currently president of the Compagnie financier La Luxembourgeoise and former managing director of the Edmond de Rothschild group. His appointment will be effective at the supervisory board meeting on April 28. Jean-Baptiste Douville de Franssu, the current chairman, will remain in office until then.

Since 2014, the IOR has seen significant improvements and is now recognized for its solid financial results, serving 12,000 clients globally, including the Pope and the Catholic Church. Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi praised Douville de Franssu for his contributions to the bank's renewal and expressed confidence in Pauly's leadership.

How’s the economy? Not bad if you’re rich. Demand for luxury yachts and private jets is surging thanks to last year’s tax law. Sales of $10 million-plus mansions are booming as stocks hit new highs.

What if you aren’t rich? The typical American can’t afford the median-priced home. Food banks are seeing a growing number of people skipping meals because they can’t afford groceries, and more middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet.

The amount of wealth held by the top 1% increased at more than double the rate of the bottom 90% in the first nine months of last year, according to Federal Reserve figures.

President Donald Trump’s policies are amplifying these trends. One year into his second term, his administration has cut programs helping lower-income households while advancing policies benefiting the wealthy and corporations. He’s signed legislation to cut food stamps and Medicaid benefits and put new restrictions on low-income housing assistance and student loans. To cope with higher costs from tariffs, he has suggested Americans buy fewer dolls for their children.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has given billions of dollars in tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy and loosened regulations on banks while easing rules around cryptocurrency, which he’s benefited from personally.

“Donald Trump talks a lot about the working class, his MAGA base is primarily working class, but if you look at the data, the working class is doing very badly in the second Trump administration. The real growth in the second Trump administration has been in corporate profits and in the wealth of the people at the top.”

https://nypost.com/2026/03/24/world-news/pope-leo-hosts-exorcist-summit-at-the-vatican-over-fears-of-worldwide-surge-in-satanism/
Pope Leo XIV hosted the world’s most senior exorcists at the Vatican, who reportedly warned him of a terrifying global rise in “occultism, esotericism, and Satanism.”
The Chicago-born head of the Catholic church held a private meeting with a delegation of Catholic priests from the International Association of Exorcists (AIE) this month, according to EWTN Vatican.
“They presented a report on the growing prevalence of cases related to occultism, esotericism, and Satanism, and the spiritual consequences they believe this has for many people,” the outlet reported.
“During the meeting, the Association asked the Pontiff to ensure that every diocese in the world has one or more adequately trained exorcist priests.”
Father Francesco Bamonte, AIE vice president, said ignoring these concerns “leaves many faithful without an adequate response to grave spiritual suffering, sometimes pushing them toward inappropriate solutions.”
“During the audience, the Pope was also presented with the book Guidelines for the Ministry of Exorcism, along with an image of Saint Michael the Archangel from the sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo,” EWTN Vatican reported.
The AIE, headquartered in Rome, is the subject of the 2023 movie “The Pope’s Exorcist,” starring Russell Crowe.
The powwow with the pope was held on March 13, but was first reported on Monday.
Leo, 70, has previously acknowledged the work of trained Catholic exorcists as “delicate” yet “most necessary,” by encouraging priests “to live it both as a ministry of liberation and of consolation, accompanying the faithful truly possessed by the evil one with prayer and the invocation of Christ’s effective presence,” LA Mag reported.

The FBI arrested state Sen. George Rauscher‘s chief of staff in Juneau on Friday after a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Craig Scott Valdez, 36, with sex trafficking children — and investigators believe he may have targeted at least 11 other juveniles across Alaska.

According to court documents, Valdez, whose LinkedIn profile lists him as a chief of staff in the Alaska legislature for the past year, used the popular social media app Snapchat to identify, groom and entice juvenile females in Alaska for the purpose of sexual exploitation.

The combat forces would come from a brigade of about 3,000 soldiers capable of deploying anywhere in the world within 18 hours.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/us/politics/us-airborne-troops-iran.html

Senior military officials are weighing a possible deployment of a combat brigade from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and some elements of the division’s headquarters staff to support U.S. military operations in Iran, defense officials said.

The officials described the military’s actions as prudent planning, noting that nothing had been ordered by the Pentagon or U.S. Central Command, which declined to comment.

The combat forces would come from the 82nd Airborne’s “Immediate Response Force,” a brigade of about 3,000 soldiers capable of deploying anywhere in the world within 18 hours. These forces could be used to seize Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub.

March 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Monday it was banning the import of all new foreign-made consumer routers, the latest crackdown on Chinese-made electronic gear over security concerns.
China is estimated to control at least 60% of the U.S. market for home routers, boxes that connect computers, phones, and smart devices to the internet.
The FCC order does not impact the import or use of existing models, but will ban new ones.
The agency said a White House-convened review deemed imported routers pose "a severe cybersecurity risk that could be leveraged to immediately and severely disrupt U.S. critical infrastructure."
It said malicious actors had exploited security gaps in foreign-made routers "to attack households, disrupt networks, enable espionage, and facilitate intellectual property theft," citing their role in major hacks like Volt and Salt Typhoon.
The determination includes an exemption for routers the Pentagon deems do not pose unacceptable risks.
Lawmakers have previously raised security concerns about Chinese-made routers and Representative John Moolenaar, the Republican chair of the House select committee on China, praised the FCC order.
"Today's tremendous decision by the FCC and the Trump administration protects our country against China's relentless cyberattacks and makes it clear that these devices should be excluded from our critical infrastructure," Moolenaar said. "Routers are key to keeping us all connected and we cannot allow Chinese technology to be at the center of that."
The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately comment.

>A regional Air Canada jet collided late on Sunday into a Port Authority airport vehicle at LaGuardia Airport in New York, an on-the-ground crash that demolished the front of the airplane, killed two pilots, injured dozens of passengers and prompted the airport to shut down on Monday morning, law enforcement and aviation officials said.

>At least 41 people were transferred to local hospitals after the plane, which was operated by Jazz Aviation, struck a rescue-and-firefighting vehicle that had been "responding to a separate incident," a Port Authority spokesperson said in a statement. Two of the injured were Port Authority officers and the other 39 were passengers, officails said.

>"The airport will remain closed until at least 2 p.m. Monday to allow for a thorough investigation," the authority said.

>The collision happened shortly after the plane, Air Canada Flight 8646, which was carrying four crew members and 72 passengers, touched down, according to Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia.

>Jazz Aviation, which is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, issued a statement confirming the incident, saying it happened at 11:47 p.m. Air Canada said on social media that it was "aware of an incident" and that Jazz Aviation would issue updates as needed.

>All passengers have been accounted for, Garcia told reporters at a pre-dawn press conference at the airport. An unaccompanied minor on the plane was reunited with their family, she said.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/u-s-wont-strike-irans-power-plants-for-5-days-trump-says-in-turnaround-on-strait-of-hormuz-deadline

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — President Donald Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz to international shipping, saying Monday that the U.S. would hold off on threatened strikes against Iranian power plants for five days.

In his announcement on Truth Social, Trump also held out the possibility of a resolution to the war — though Iranian officials denied there were negotiations. Trump's turnaround appeared to offer something of a reprieve after the U.S. and Iran traded threats with potentially catastrophic repercussions for civilians across the region.

Trump later told reporters that Iran wants "to make a deal," and claimed U.S. envoys have been holding talks with a "respected" Iranian leader. He said his Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner conducted talks Sunday into the evening, and that the negotiations would continue.

Trump did not name any official or officials representing Tehran. He said the U.S. has not talked to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. Trump said if a deal is reached with Iran, the U.S. will move to take Iran's enriched uranium critical to its disputed nuclear program.

Shortly after Trump's social media announcement — hours before the deadline was set to expire — Iranian state television declared that the American leader had backed down "following Iran's firm warning."

https://www.reuters.com/world/georgia-woman-faces-murder-charge-after-taking-abortion-pill-2026-03-21/
March 20 (Reuters) - A 31-year-old Georgia woman has been charged with murder after she took abortion medication and gave birth to a premature infant who died within hours, according to court documents and arrest records.
Alexia Moore was arrested, charged and jailed by local police earlier this month in coastal Camden County, Georgia, near the Florida border over the episode on December 30.
Nearly all abortions in Georgia are illegal after six weeks of pregnancy. Since the U.S. Supreme Court's overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion, many states have adopted abortion bans.
While other states have sought to prosecute women who had abortions, it is rare they are charged with murder as Moore was. It will be up to state prosecutors to decide whether to move forward with the case.
Moore, who already has two young children, took the abortion medication misoprostol at home then was rushed to the Southeast Georgia Health System Camden Campus on December 30, after experiencing severe pain, according to a police report.
She informed staff of her pregnancy and said she had taken 200 mg of misoprostol before arriving at the emergency room. A friend later told police that Moore took the abortion pill because she did not want another child.
While at the health center, the 31-year-old gave birth to a premature girl who police described as having "major health issues." Police said Moore also took illegal oxycodone, an opioid.
The newborn survived about an hour. The police report did not indicate weeks of gestation for the infant, but the Washington Post reported that Moore was between 22 and 24 weeks pregnant.
A lawyer for Moore could not immediately be reached for comment.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/us/politics/gop-transgender-athletes-senate.html

Senate Republicans tried and failed on Saturday to attach a measure targeting transgender athletes to the restrictive voter ID bill they are seeking to push through Congress, resurfacing an issue aimed at putting Democrats on the defensive ahead of midterm elections the G.O.P. is at risk of losing.

President Trump, who has made the voter ID bill his top legislative priority, had demanded that it include two provisions related to transgender Americans, neither of which have anything to do with elections. One would bar transgender women and girls from playing in women’s and girls’ sports, and another would criminalize gender transition treatments for minors.

Neither of those measures, nor the voter ID bill itself, have the 60 votes necessary to move ahead in the Senate and become law.

But that all-but-certain defeat did not stop Senate Republicans from seeking to shove the measures into the debate over voter identification and proof of citizenship, as G.O.P. lawmakers seek to capitalize politically on an issue that many Democrats remain deeply uncomfortable discussing.
