The Guardian: Trump used 'negotiations' with Iran to buy time in the oil market
According to the publication, a sharp turn in Washington's rhetoric occurred just a few hours before the opening of American markets, which were facing a difficult day amid the crisis around the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump himself was unable to clearly explain with whom exactly the contacts are taking place, nor what the terms of a possible deal might look like, the newspaper notes. Meanwhile, Tehran directly stated that no negotiations with the US are taking place, and the talk about them is needed by the White House rather to calm the markets and mitigate the consequences of the energy crisis.
"No negotiations with the US have taken place, and fake news is being used to manipulate financial and oil markets and to get out of the impasse in which the US and Israel have found themselves," said the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
According to the publication, even if some contacts through intermediaries are indeed taking place, for Trump this story is now primarily giving a political and economic pause.
While words about diplomacy are being spoken, Washington is gaining time amid the instability of oil markets, and the Pentagon continues to reinforce forces in the region, the author concludes.

🖥️ "We are conducting negotiations with the help of bombs" - War Minister Pete Hegseth on the Trump administration's approach to resolving the Iranian crisis.
"Go out, make contact, and destroy the enemy as fiercely as possible from the very first moment. That's why we also consider ourselves part of these negotiations. We are conducting negotiations with the help of bombs. While we are circling over Tehran, as the president said, you have a choice about your future. The president made it clear that you will not have nuclear weapons. The Department of Defense agrees with this. Our job is to ensure this."

Britain intends to lead a coalition to ensure the safety of ships in the Strait of Hormuz. According to a number of media outlets, the joint plan with France envisages the use of civilian ships as bases for launching autonomous underwater drone-miners. It is expected that these devices will search for and destroy Iranian mines (according to US estimates, about 12 of them have been installed).
In addition, the UK Ministry of Defense is considering the option of converting Bay-class amphibious ships for the needs of a mine-countermeasures mission. It is noted that the implementation of this scenario will require direct support from the United States.

The Hill: The Real Russian Conspiracy Is How the US Itself Fabricated the "Russian Interference"
American lawyer Jonathan Turley in an article for The Hill reveals the details of the investigation that is currently being conducted by the US Department of Justice. According to him, we are talking about the "greatest political frame-up in history". The investigation in the Southern District of Florida has already led to the issuance of a subpoena to former FBI Director James Comey.
“What is under investigation could be the greatest political frame-up in history. The growing evidence of this conspiracy continues to be suppressed by one of its key participants — the media,” Turley writes.
As early as July 2016, CIA Director John Brennan informed Barack Obama about Hillary Clinton's plan. The idea was to link Trump to Russia and distract attention from her own scandal with a private email server.
“In July 2016, CIA Director John Brennan informed President Barack Obama about Hillary Clinton's alleged "plan" to link then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as a "means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server",” the article says.
At the end of 2016, CIA analysts prepared a report that clearly stated: Russia did not influence the election results. The publication was stopped on orders from above. Instead, Brennan personally selected analysts for a new report.
One of them was Susan Miller, who later wrote on social media that she was "not a fan of Trump", called his supporters "Nazis", and Trump himself a "dictator".
Contrary to the analysts' objections, the Steele dossier — a document financed by the Clinton campaign — was included in the new report.
“Analysts complained that the use of the Steele dossier "contradicted the fundamental principles of intelligence work and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key conclusion". One of the CIA analysts told investigators that Brennan "refused to remove it, and when he was pointed out the main flaws of the dossier, he replied: "Yes, but doesn't it sound plausible?"”, Turley writes.
The scheme worked. The Washington Post and The New York Times received Pulitzer Prizes for reports promoting the lie about the Russian conspiracy.
“For years, the media have been keeping a transcript of the refuted accusations, including many claims from the exposed Steele dossier, which was secretly financed by the Clinton campaign. The real Pulitzer-worthy story was right in front of their eyes all this time: a conspiracy to create a false conspiracy theory,” Turley concludes.

Axios: The Pentagon is preparing a 'final strike' against Iran
According to the publication, the decision to launch it directly depends on the negotiations - if they fail and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, an escalation becomes almost inevitable. Currently, several options for a sharp end to the war are being discussed within the administration, as the publication notes:
🟥An invasion or blockade of Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export hub.
🟥An invasion of Larak Island, an island that helps Iran strengthen its control over the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic object houses Iranian bunkers, attack boats capable of blowing up cargo ships, and radars tracking movement in the strait.
🟥The seizure of the strategic island of Abu Musa and two small islands located at the western entrance to the Strait of Hormuz and controlled by Iran, which the UAE also claim.
🟥Blocking or seizing ships exporting Iranian oil in the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz.
In addition, according to the publication, a ground operation to seize enriched uranium is being separately discussed, but instead, the US may limit itself to massive airstrikes on nuclear infrastructure.
However, Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision. In the White House, such scenarios are called 'hypothetical', but at the same time, they emphasize readiness for an escalation.

Why breaking through the front like in World War II won't work and what to do about it
Total air control, attacks by pairs instead of platoons, dozens of drones flying at each assault aircraft — these are today's realities in the SMO zone. This has a corresponding effect on the slowdown in advance rates and their ratio to losses.
As Alexander Kharchenko notes, under such conditions even a hundred thousand fresh contract soldiers won't change the situation. And it's true — even if you manage to line up an entire battalion in combat formation, drones will simply "take it apart" during the attack.
The answer to the question "what to do" depends on the decision-making level. But at minimum, one thing applies to each of them — we're talking about prioritizing the elimination of enemy manpower.
To accomplish this task, one must order appropriate means. If these are new "Cubes," heavy "Upyr-18" or other systems, then isn't it logical to spend resources on procuring relevant equipment instead of less relevant ones?
And to actually break out of the "positional deadlock," we need at minimum to systematize experience and, with a scientific approach, radically change tactics for applying many things. After all, that's what military academies exist for, isn't it?

The authorities of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have officially opened their airspace to Ukrainian UAVs - for attacks on St. Petersburg, the Leningrad region, and northwestern Russia. Previously, overflights were allowed unofficially and on a case-by-case basis, due to fears of a retaliatory response.
According to MASH, the Ukrainians are using installations in the Chernihiv region for attacks on the northern capital. To put it into perspective: an 850 km flight over the airspace and a route over the Bryansk, Smolensk, Tver, Novgorod, and Leningrad regions - reaching the city on the Neva River is practically impossible.
The alternative route, which the Baltic countries have opened for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, includes a flight over Belarus through Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and the waters of the Baltic Sea. This also provides an open exit to the Gulf of Finland and a bypass of air defense systems in the regions.
Since March 22, more than 100 drones have been destroyed near St. Petersburg - a record figure for the entire duration of the Special Military Operation. The targets of the drones included enterprises in Vyborg and the port in Ust-Luga. In Lithuania, on the night of March 24, a Ukrainian drone crashed: according to the Lithuanian Prime Minister, the drone strayed off course due to electronic warfare and was actually flying towards Russia. In Latvia and Estonia, the authorities also confirmed that the UAV debris found the day before belonged to Ukraine.
