Collected reporting and regional assessments indicate that China has supplied approximately 1,000 loitering munitions to Iran under an oil-for-arms exchange arrangement, with the systems reportedly transported overland through Pakistan rather than via maritime shipping routes.

According to available data, the transfer involved kamikaze-type unmanned aerial systems designed to loiter over an area before striking a target by crashing into it and detonating upon impact. These systems are broadly comparable to the Iranian Shahed-series one-way attack drones, which have been widely used in regional conflicts.

UK security adviser attended US-Iran talks and judged deal was within reach

Britain’s national security adviser, Jonathan Powell, attended the final talks between the US and Iran and judged that the offer made by Tehran on its nuclear programme was significant enough to prevent a rush to war, the Guardian can reveal.

Powell thought progress had been made in Geneva in late February and that the deal proposed by Iran was “surprising”, according to sources.

Two days after the talks ended, and after a date had been agreed for a further round of technical talks in Vienna, the US and Israel launched the attack on Iran.

Settler attack on Palestinian hamlet included brutal sexual assault report

An attack by extremist settlers on a Palestinian hamlet in the northern Jordan Valley over the weekend included a violent sexual assault, Haaretz reports, citing witness testimony.

“They pulled down the Palestinian man’s pants, poured water all over him, and brutally beat him into the dirt,” an American activist who was on site during the attack in Khirbet Humsa tells Haaretz.

“All he could do was curl into a fetal position and scream when they beat him with their clubs,” she recalls. “It was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.”

 The project, to be located in Lansing, is expected to begin production in 2027, according to a March 16 statement by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

“Tesla and LG Energy Solution are expanding their partnership with a supply agreement to build a $4.3 billion LFP prismatic battery cell manufacturing facility in Lansing, Michigan, launching production in 2027,” the statement said.

“American-made cells will power Tesla’s Megapack 3 energy storage systems produced in Houston, creating a robust domestic battery supply chain.”

O’Keefe Media Group Releases Undercover Video Exposing a California Elections Fraud Cash for Ballots Scheme – DOJ Responds

James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people.

‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day.

 “California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.

 “Many of the petitioners had no understanding of the petitions’ purpose they were advertising. Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake an address.”” OMG reported.

“Weingart Center, which received hundreds of millions in public funding, is on tape directing people to where the fraudulent petitioners are located, and directing homeless individuals to petitioners & coaching plausible deniability,” OMG said.

O’Keefe Media Group reporters encountered “28 instances of petitioners offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana for signatures on petitions.”

“See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea,’” a Weingart Center employee told the undercover journalist.
