"Large Number" of U.S. Marines Reportedly "Destroyed" by Iran Missiles and Drones
The Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published footage of the implementation of the second phase of the 84th wave, during which it targeted "a gathering center of American-Zionist militants on Bubiyan Island."
The IRGC stated: "A large number of terrorist U.S. Marines were destroyed using various types of suicide drones and ballistic missiles. The dead and wounded were transferred to three hospitals in Kuwait."
The IRGC also said attacks on U.S. "terrorist" forces will continue anywhere in the region until they are completely removed from Muslim lands through powerful and destructive strikes.

Iran claims the Americans have been firing weapons like ATACMS at Iran from this island, but these claims have not yet been verified. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/component/content/article/large-number-of-u-s-marines-reportedly-destroyed-by-iran-missiles-and-drones?catid=17&Itemid=101
Now the only operative plan remains to get Iran to negotiate a ceasefire that can look at least mildly favorable to Trump’s optics. The problem is, thus far Iran has continued to maintain absolutely maximalist demands, such as the total removal of all US bases from the region, as well as guarantees of never striking Iran again.
Disregarding the completely unrealistic—and to be frank, childish—ideas about ground troop invasion of Iranian land, we can therefore conclude that Trump’s one final remaining emergency lever will be to massively bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure, a kind of desperate last-ditch hail mary out of spite, the fit of a sadistic sore loser.
But even this is obviously fraught with great risk because:
It will not accomplish anything, due to Iran’s grid decentralization
It will cause an even bigger headache for the US when Iran responds in kind and lights up the entire region’s critical infrastructure to an even greater degree
But the pressure is actually increasing on the US-Israeli Axis powers because the Houthis have now cashed in their promise of opening up a new front with the launch of ballistic missiles onto Israel earlier today.
Likewise, Hezbollah has been ramping up the humiliation of Israeli forces in lower Lebanon with the advent of FPV drones, including those on fiber-optics, which have reportedly taken out many Merkava tanks in the past few days alone, with footage attesting to various hits. The IDF is scrambling to recover after announcing intent to annex southern Lebanon. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/essential-us-awacs-plane-destroyed

Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.” This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Simplicius, Essential US AWACS Plane Destroyed Amidst New Iranian Attacks, as US Continues Losing Critical Capability in Region
Let us again be clear about Trump’s current plan:
The plan is to continue bombing Iran to maintain psychological pressure while building up troops in the region as a further pressure lever in the hopes that Iran’s leadership will grow frightened and finally agree to negotiate and compromise. There are no real remaining military objectives left because all the original ones were proven to be impossible to actually implement—i.e. regime change, Iran’s surrender, collapse of the IRGC or wider military structure, societal upheaval, etc. Now the only operative plan remains to get Iran to negotiate a ceasefire that can look at least mildly favorable to Trump’s optics. The problem is, thus far Iran has continued to maintain absolutely maximalist demands, such as the total removal of all US bases from the region, as well as guarantees of never striking Iran again.

Lastly, Iran’s National Security Commission voted into effect a rial-based toll system for vessels transiting Hormuz, as well as bans on US-Israeli vessels. It’s unclear if it has been fully made into law, although it appears it would still require full parliamentary approval, as the NSC is merely a committee within parliament. At the very least, it presents a kind of ‘message’ to the world that Iran is formalizing its control over Hormuz, which comes as another humiliating blow to the US’s latest boisterous bleatings of triumph. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/trump-signals-final-sadistic-punishment

Escape Key, Kushner and Witkoff, Three wars, two men — one pattern.
On March 23, 2026, Trump claimed Kushner and Witkoff had conducted talks with senior Iranian officials regarding the terms under which Iran’s energy infrastructure might be spared. Tehran denies the meeting took place, with Ghalibaf himself calling it ‘fake news’ designed to manipulate oil and financial markets4.
By March 25, the White House was working to arrange a meeting in Islamabad, with Pakistan having transmitted a 15-point US ceasefire proposal to Tehran and the IAEA chief confirming he expected talks that weekend.
Three wars. Two men operating outside normal diplomatic channels, at compressed timescales, producing phased conditions rather than political agreements. Neither man is a career diplomat.
Witkoff holds the title of Special Envoy, sworn in by Secretary Rubio, but his background is New York real estate development — his friendship with Donald Trump dates to 1986, when he bought the future president a sandwich at a deli.
Kushner holds no formal title at all. He is the president’s son-in-law, a real estate investor whose family company purchased 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion and spent the better part of a decade trying to refinance it9.
Between them, they are negotiating the reconstruction of Ukraine, the governance of Gaza, and the terms under which Iran re-enters the international system.
But the question is not actually whether they are qualified. The question is what function they perform — and for whom.
In an October 2025 interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes10, Kushner and Witkoff described the function themselves — though not in those terms. They confirmed working Iran, Ukraine, and an Algeria-Morocco deal simultaneously.
Witkoff called peace ‘infectious’ and said leaders were calling the White House asking how to move deals forward. Kushner explained that Trump had delegated broad authority to negotiate — the mandate, in Kushner’s words, was simply ‘don’t make a bad deal’ — and that the two of them had been ‘freewheeling it’, merging separate ceasefire and end-of-war proposals into a single document on their own initiative, then presenting it to the president for his approval.
When asked about doing billions of dollars of business with the same Gulf governments whose representatives were involved in the peace talks, Kushner replied: ‘What people call conflicts of interest, Steve and I call experience and trusted relationships’. Witkoff agreed on camera: ‘We really do’.
Alastair Crooke, a former British diplomat and founder of the Conflicts Forum, described the mechanism in February 2026. The failure to resolve the Ukraine conflict, he argued, is a feature — one that opens a path for business to be done, for stakeholder deals to be cut, and for billions to be shared out.
Trump, Witkoff and Kushner are said to be confident that they can construct a financial reward system for western debt-holders, investors and politicians that succeeds in retaining the financial rewards of war — without the ancillary ingredient of bloodshed.
The territorial issues, security guarantees, EU membership status, and the position of NATO are, in Crooke's framing, ‘downstream details once the larger payment system is organised’.
That sentence deserves to be read twice. The politics is downstream of the payment system, the governance is downstream of the financial architecture, and the settlement conditions are downstream of the clearing house. What Crooke is describing is not a peace process — it is the installation of a new financial system, with conflict resolution as its onboarding mechanism. https://escapekey.substack.com/p/kushner-and-witkoff

Escape Key, Settlement Of Time
Intergenerational equity — the idea that present generations owe debts both to the past and to the future — has become one of the most consequential concepts in international policy. It underpins climate finance, reparations discourse, carbon budgeting, and an expanding web of institutional arrangements that now govern how nations allocate resources across time. What is less widely understood is the architecture through which it operates — and who controls each layer of that architecture...
..The Democratic Deficit - The architecture has a structural feature that distinguishes it from ordinary policymaking: the two populations whose interests it claims to represent — the dead and the unborn — cannot participate in any democratic process. Past generations who were enslaved or colonised are not here to define what they are owed. Future generations who will bear the costs of climate change do not yet exist to contest the discount rate applied to their welfare.
Someone must therefore speak for them. That role falls to the cognitive layer — the philosophers, historians, economists, and modellers whose work defines both what the past debt was and what the future obligation is. Their authority rests on expertise, not on any form of popular mandate. They cannot be voted out by the populations whose claims they adjudicate.
The clearinghouses that operationalise their standards inherit the same insulation, because the entire justification for the architecture is that democratic politics is too short-termist, too captured by present interests, to protect people who cannot vote...
..Stern, Nordhaus, Rawls, and Rothschild operate within it implicitly. The discount rate is not subject to referendum. The attribution of historical emissions is not debated in Parliament. The . ‘Stranded assets’ cannot realistically be appealed.
Each of these decisions is made within the cognitive layer and transmitted downward through institutions that are, by design, beyond electoral reach. https://escapekey.substack.com/p/settlement-of-time
David Hughes, Remembering the Marches - At a time of uncertainty among "the Resistance," it is salutary to remember the marches against government overreach during Covid
Given that the modus operandi of those running the "Covid-19" operation was to push the oppressive restrictions as far as they could get away with, it seems reasonable to conclude that they only backed down once resistance had reached the point of requiring something as radical as the Canadian Emergencies Act to deal with it. The transnational nature of the resistance meant that similar would follow in other countries.
It is telling that the legacy media went to such lengths to mischaracterise and discredit the protests, for any honest reporting would clearly have reflected the illegitimacy of the “measures,” as expressed by the actions of millions of people worldwide.
That the protests were repeatedly met with police brutality and attempts to provoke violence is also significant, as it reveals the iron fist beneath the velvet glove of public health in the biosecurity state.
Although “the Resistance” has since appeared fractured through all manner of psy-ops and infiltration of the independent media, it is important to remember that there are people everywhere who understand that their constitutionally enshrined rights and freedoms are under threat and are willing to resist. https://davidahughes.net/remembering-the-marches/?utm_source=sendfox&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=remembering-the-marches
