🇺🇸 USA Lynchings: "Strange Fruit" 2026
Civil rights organizations and federal lawmakers have raised urgent alarms over a disturbing rise in Black Americans found hanging in public spaces, leading to demands for Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI investigations into potential modern-day lynchings. A high-profile example includes the BBC News Coverage regarding the death of Tasia Fortune.
At least 10 reported hangings of Black individuals have occurred across various states, including Mississippi,
Michigan, and New York.
Historical Context & Reports: Civil rights advocates have documented over 70 suspected modern-day lynchings in the U.S. since 2000.
Disputed Rulings: Families and legal representatives frequently dispute local police conclusions that quickly rule these deaths as suicides without conducting proper investigations.
Congressional and International Action Lawmaker Demands: Lawmakers led by Representative Ayanna Pressley, alongside Representatives Yvette Clarke, Jasmine Crockett, and Al Green, have written formal letters to the DOJ and FBI demanding comprehensive federal oversight.
Calls for Commissions: Civil rights groups like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF) have urged Congress and the United Nations to investigate whether racial bias in local law enforcement has caused systemic failures in properly investigating these deaths.

🇾🇪❌️🇸🇦 High-quality satellite image of Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline pumping station No. 9, which was struck.
This is the second oil pumping station on the East-West pipeline in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, to be struck by Yemeni armed forces.
**We are now looking at six months for the pipeline to come back online, that is if the hostilities were to end tomorrow.

🇾🇪❌️🇸🇦 The Chinese 155mm AH4 towed howitzer is among the weapons left behind by Saudi-backed forces while retreating from Yemen's west coast and fleeing the Ansarullah forces.
The weapons has a maximum range of 40 km. However, base-bleed rounds can be fired as far as 70 km.

🇺🇸❌️🇮🇷🇮🇶An E-11A early-warning aircraft departed Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, heading toward Iraq. This operation coincided with extensive reconnaissance activities carried out by P-8A and MQ-4C aircraft, as well as three aerial refueling tankers, across the Persian Gulf, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
**Here's hoping General Majid Mousavi, has his deterrence and retaliatory missiles/drones nicely lubed up, because he may have to insert them exceptionally deep in the US rear later.

🇬🇧❌️🇾🇪 The British government's chief executive, Andy Burnham, is reviewing Saudi Arabia's requests for military support against the Yemeni Ansarullah, including assistance in defending oil infrastructure and preventing further Yemeni armed forces' advances.
Burnham has agreed to send British military advisors to Saudi Arabia, but it is unclear whether he will approve the other requests.
**Should Burnham be stupid enough to get militarily involved, he will be remembered as the man who sank Britain. Ansarullah has a full list of the UK merchant shipping and their timetables from the last time that it imposed its blockade in the Red Sea. The Ansarullah's previous blockade severely damaged the UK economy contributing to the fall of its Conservative government.

French state media reports that with each passing day, the Iranian people grow increasingly repulsed by the US and Israel and rally around the leadership; the "Jan-Fada" (Devoted Self-Sacrifice) campaign, with its figure of over 14 million participants, serves as evidence of this.
**By the time it concluded, the "Jan-Fada" campaign had reached more than 30 million volunteers.

The statement, released by Meysam Zahourian -the representative for Mashhad:
The time has come for Iran to withdraw from the NPT; Iran's security is our red line. The NPT has yielded nothing for Iran but one-sided obligations and international pressure.
Iran's continued membership in this treaty cannot be justified in light of the security threats facing the country.
