Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

The deadly toll on journalists in the Gaza war​

Over the past 22 months, the war in Gaza has become the most deadly conflict for journalists in history.

Last week, five Palestinian journalists – Hussam al-Masri, Mariam Abu Dagga, Mohammed Salama, Ahmed Abu Aziz and Moaz Abu Taha – were killed in a double strike on Nasser hospital by the Israeli military, bringing the total number of journalists and media workers killed in this conflict since October 2023 to at least 189, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). Other groups put the tally far higher.

Just one week before, another four Al Jazeera journalists and two freelancers were killed by a targeted Israeli strike on their tent outside al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it deliberately targeted the Al Jazeera crew – the correspondent Anas al-Sharif, who had reported on the war since its outset, the reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, the cameraman Ibrahim Zaher, and Mohammed Noufal, a crew driver and cameraman. The IDF claimed it had evidence that Sharif was a Hamas terrorist.

The CPJ and other organisations say that this claim is part of a pattern of misinformation – along with other cases where slain journalists have been labelled as Hamas fighters or operatives – and is without credibility.

The Israeli military has prevented international journalists from entering and reporting on the war, and has decimated Gaza’s own media community. Under international law, journalists should be protected civilians, yet the CPJ says that Israel is “engaging in the deadliest and most deliberate effort to kill and silence journalists that CPJ has ever documented”.

“Palestinian journalists are being threatened, directly targeted and murdered by Israeli forces, and are arbitrarily detained and tortured in retaliation for their work. By silencing the press – those who document and bear witness – Israel is silencing the war,” the organisation said.

Despite growing global condemnation and concerns over breaches of international law, Israel is continuing its military assault on Gaza and it is likely that more journalists will die as a result.

The Guardian is printing the names of all the Palestinian journalists listed by the CPJ as having died as a result of Israeli military action since October 2023 as part of a day of action in condemnation of the killings and in solidarity with those journalists who remain, reporting on the war in Gaza.

The names on this list not only constitute lost lives, futures and grieving families, but the loss of a generation of journalists killed doing their jobs in the most frightening and devastating of environments and whose bravery and dedication to covering this conflict cannot be replaced.

This list will continue to be updated as more deaths occur. The CPJ list stands at 189. The Gaza Media Center and other Palestinian media groups put the numbers higher, at 238; the UN human rights office puts the figure at 247.

First of all there are millions of local reporters. Surely if they noticed anything anti Israeli they would report it all over. On the other hand if they see something anti Hamas they would be quiet, because Hamas will kill them later.

Secondly what reporters can see in Gaza that any other Gazan cant see? Now everyone has camera in his pocket, also Hamas installed million spying cameras around. If they recorded anything bad against Israel it would be immediately all over.

The reason Israel limits foreign reporters is that we can't guarantee their safety. The situation that we have in Gaza only local reporters only harms Israel.

You are still being ridiculous. You are saying that there is no need for events to be reported by independent journalists. There is a need if the world is to know what is happening in a conflict rather than the fragments of the story that suit the belligerents involved.

Correspondents report on conflicts all over the world. It is their job. They choose to put their safety at risk. Your claim that independent journalists are excluded from Gaza by Israel with a view to safeguarding them is spurious and lacks any merit.

I never said that we don't need independent journalist report. On contrary. But its simply impossible in Gaza. Gaza is a totalitarian place, worth than North Korea. Anyone who dares to speak against Hamas is brutally tortured and executed. As result we get from Gaza only one sided pro-Hamas picture.

What was I saying? Independent journalists seek to present the whole picture, not just what one side or another in a conflict would like to be seen... or not seen. Members of the press are not routinely executed because they do not report things with a strong bias one way or other. Agreed, more press are killed now than in the past.

This article is based on ridiculous assumption that only 69 journalists were killed in WW2. While the actual numbed is tens of thousands.

In Gaza they count anyone who is active on instagram as "journalist". Like infamous Saleh Al jafawari (who was killed by Palestinians themselves BTW).

Near mid-air collision over Paphos after Turkish military provocation Greek City Times

A Turkish and French military aircraft came dangerously close over Paphos, Cyprus, raising fears of a mid-air collision amid rising tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.

greekcitytimes.com

A serious aviation incident was narrowly avoided over Paphos on Wednesday afternoon, after two military aircraft—one Turkish and one French—came dangerously close during operations in the region.​

According to flight tracking data from Flightradar24, the incident occurred at approximately 17:48 local time on March 18, raising alarm over the risk of a potential mid-air collision.

The Turkish aircraft, identified as TUAF727, is an Airbus A400M Atlas operated by the Turkish Air Force. The A400M is a modern strategic airlifter used for transporting troops, equipment, and conducting complex missions.

The second aircraft, operating under the code CTM2084, is believed to be a Lockheed KC-130 Super Hercules used by France, typically deployed for aerial refueling and logistical support.

Observers monitoring the situation reported that the aircraft performed aggressive manoeuvres, with their proximity decreasing sharply—at one point resembling an informal “dogfight” scenario.

The incident comes amid heightened military activity by Turkey in the occupied areas of Cyprus.

The Eastern Mediterranean continues to emerge as a high-risk zone, where overlapping military operations and geopolitical tensions increase the likelihood of dangerous incidents.

Wednesday’s near miss highlights how quickly such situations can spiral out of control, particularly in contested airspace.

While no collision occurred, the event has intensified scrutiny over flight safety and military coordination in the region.

Whether this was an isolated incident or a sign of further escalation remains unclear.

Curious. Where did you find the tens of thousands number? I spent a couple of years working as a journalist for a number of UK publications (not news). Had I come up with a number as you have done, I think the editor concerned would have asked me the question I'm asking you.

Over 60 mln people were killed in WW2. More than current population of Italy. The number of registered journalists in Italy is over 100,000.

High estimates for WW2 are around 85-90 mln, which is substantially more.

Israeli aircraft struck Iranian naval forces in the Caspian Sea, hitting at least five ships and the port of Anzali.

Since the start of the war, Russian media have been discussing how Russia can help Iran.

Nothing.

Due to Western sanctions imposed on Moscow following the war in Ukraine and the war in Iran, all Russian routes to the west and south are completely closed.

The Istanbul Strait is Russia's only remaining route.

Iran appears to be on the verge of becoming the failed state it so desperately tried to turn all its neighbors into.

Russia is next

You have to understand that Jews (except of fews) are disillusioned and live in a religious delusion . They fight all mankind and see them as enemies. There is nothing you can do or tell. It’s like to teach a sociopathtic psychopath.

Strikes on Iran gas fields could force Turkey to ramp up LNG imports​

Damage to Iran’s Asaluyeh gas processing facility in Bushehr province and part of the South Pars complex, following an Israeli missile strike on March 18, risks disrupting pipeline supplies to Turkey, potentially forcing Ankara to increase its reliance on LNG imports.

Iran exports natural gas to Turkey via pipeline infrastructure linked to South Pars, the world’s largest gas field, with flows meeting roughly 15% of Turkish demand.

It remains unclear how extensive the damage to the facility is at the time of writing, but any sustained disruption could create an immediate supply gap.

“An unintended consequence of the strikes on Iran’s gas fields? Turkey may be forced to import more LNG,” Stephen Stapczynski, a Bloomberg reporter covering energy and commodities, said in a social media post, pointing to the knock-on effects of the escalating conflict on regional energy balances.

Turkey, which lacks significant domestic gas reserves, is heavily dependent on imports from a mix of suppliers including Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran. Pipeline gas from Iran has historically provided a relatively stable share of the mix, particularly during periods of peak demand.

If flows from Iran are curtailed, Ankara would need to turn to the global LNG market to compensate. Supplies on that market are constrained since Qatar shut down gas production due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Turkey has expanded its LNG infrastructure in recent years, including floating storage and regasification units, providing some flexibility to absorb supply shocks. It is greatly pushed up imports of LNG shipped from the US.

That's the reason people say the attack of Isreal to Iran gas processing facility is a escalation of the situation.
Iran and Syria is also influenced.guang

Maybe Isreal is going to put middle east become a bigger Gaza.

Pentagon asks White House for $200bn more to fight Iran war - report​

The Pentagon “has asked the White House to approve a more than $200bn request to Congress to fund the war in Iran, according to a senior administration official”, the Washington Post reports.

The newspaper explains:

The funding request is likely to stage a major political battle in Congress, as public support for the effort remains tepid and Democrats have been sharply critical. Republicans have signaled support for the forthcoming supplemental request but haven’t committed to a legislative strategy, or found a clear path to surpass the Senate’s 60-vote threshold.

President Donald Trump campaigned on ending American adventurism abroad and frequently hammered the Biden administration for the amount of money approved to finance the war in Ukraine. By December, Congress had approved roughly $188 billion in spending for the war in Ukraine, according to the U.S. special inspector general for Operation Atlantic Resolve.

As the Post notes, Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised his predecessor for helping Ukraine defend its territory from the full-scale Russian invasion that began in 2022. But Trump has constantly exaggerated or lied about how much the US has spent to help Ukraine deter Russia, offering vastly inflated estimates that could make the cost of his war with Iran seem small by comparison.

Iran launched ballistic missile strikes against industrial facilities in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Iran had previously demanded that personnel at petrochemical plants in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE evacuate immediately. Subsequently, missile strikes were launched against oil and gas facilities in these countries. Iranian media reported that the strikes were carried out in response to Israeli attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in southern Iran.

Trump's anti-terror chief resigned in protest – now he speaks: Khamenei slowed down Iran's nuclear program​

It caused quite a stir when the head of the US National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCC), Joe Kent, handed in a very public resignation on Tuesday.
"I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war against Iran," Kent wrote in a post on X.

Now the former counter-terrorism chief has given his first interview after his resignation.
He has that for conservative podcaster and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Here he says that Iran's now killed supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had kept the Iranian nuclear program in check until his death.

"I'm not a fan of the former Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, but he moderated their nuclear program. He prevented them from getting a nuclear weapon," Kent said.

"If you take him out, if you kill him aggressively, the people will rally around that regime. And the next ayatollah you get - and what I think from all the data we have is the case with his son - the next ayatollah will be more radical. For he will show the people that he will resist."

Asked by Tucker Carlson if Iran was on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon, the now former counterterrorism chief answers no.
The clip can be seen at the top of the live blog.

Context:
Joe Kent wrote in his resignation letter, which he shared on X, that he is resigning from his post with immediate effect because he cannot support the war against Iran.

"Iran posed no immediate threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war because of pressure from Israel and its powerful U.S. lobby."
And later:

"I cannot support sending the next generation to fight and die in a war that serves no purpose to the American people or justifies the loss of American lives."
According to Berlingske's US correspondent, Jacob Heinel Jensen, Kent's resignation underlines that Donald Trump has moved into risky waters on the home front with the decision to go to war:

It "emphasizes that the president is walking on thin ice because he just ran for office to pull the United States out of foreign wars. But Trump has done the exact opposite, and that is problematic for the president."

There is also talk that the Supreme Leader is in Russia receiving treatment for injuries. Is Iran currently leaderless?

Khamenei is likely wounded and in hiding.
Well, Iran has a president, Pezeshkian.
Perhaps Israel is deliberately keeping him alive.
After all, he is the president. Perhaps he could be useful in Israel's plans for Iran's future.
And what the US thinks of Pezeshkian and Iran is irrelevant. The US has no say in this matter🫢
