🇮🇷 🇮🇱 NYT Video confirms that "the Iranian Strike (on Beersheba) came in the last hours before Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire"... and not after the ceasefire was agreed upon by both sides. Iran did not violate the ceasefire as Israeli Defense Minister Katz would have you believe.

🇷🇴 ROMANIA ELECTION: Surprise-Surprise! Pro-Russia populist independent right candidate Calin Georgescu who ran his campaign primarily on social media, took a surprise lead Monday in Romania’s presidential election, knocking the EU-leaning premier out of the race that will be decided in a December run-off. Georgescu defied opinion polls and emerged in first place with 23 % of the votes even though in November, pollster Inscop projected he would win 5.4% of the vote. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu was in third place with 19.15 % of the ballot in Sunday’s election after 99% of the vote was counted, eliminating him from the December 8 run-off. He is not challenging the result. During his campaign, Georgescu called for an end to aid for Ukraine and sounded a sceptical note on Romania’s NATO membership. "Romanian people are crying out for peace", said Georgescu on Sunday - The Social Democrat party has shaped Romania’s politics for more than three decades and people have grown tired of it. Romania, which has a 650-kilometre (400-mile) has also a vital coast on the Black Sea which plays a vital strategic role for NATO as it facilitates the transit of Ukrainian grain Calin Georgescu will now head into a run-off against the second-placed candidate in the election. “Georgescu won the anti-establishment vote,” a fast growing trend in the EU.

What does Dr Zvi Herman Berkovits, Benjamin Netanyahu's top physician, who regularly travels with the Israeli prime minister, have to say about the claims surrounding his alleged death? On Feb 28, 2026, Netanyahu’s state jet, the “Wing of Zion” Boeing 767, took off from a base near Beersheba, circled over the Mediterranean for ~4 hours, then flew on to Berlin, where it was officially “parked for safety” with only crew on board. The critics say that the loiter window could have allowed his onboard medical team, which includes personal physician orthopaedic, cardiologist Dr Zvi Sirotkin, urologist Dr Mordechai Duvdevani and orthopaedic specialist Dr. Eyal Heller, to stabilise him in flight before a covert hospital transfer. That speculation is reinforced by Israel’s own urban design. Core military and intelligence infrastructure from the Kirya (“Israel’s Pentagon”) to secret underground bunkers like the "Pit” or "Fortress of Zion,” “Site 81” beneath or adjacent to civilian towers, are all embedded inside Tel Aviv neighbourhoods. So when an Iranian missile directly hit an apartment block in Tel Aviv on Feb 28, killing a foreign caregiver and injuring more than 20 people, we cannot exclude the possibility that nearby or subterranean command infrastructure, and in theory even Netanyahu, could also have been affected, despite official claims it was “just” a civilian target. Then, on March 2, 2026, as Iran’s IRGC publicly claimed it had hit Netanyahu’s office in Tel Aviv with Kheibar/Kheybar‑Shekan missiles, Berkovits went on Romanian TV (Digi24, “Retrospectiva săptămânii”) the same day to provide an update regarding Netanyahu's condition and declared “all a lie” and insisted Netanyahu was “absolutely healthy, he has nothing.” The segment, billed as a check on the PM’s status, quickly turns into a polished hasbara piece about Israeli resilience, “great optimism,” a population “very happy in a way” despite missiles and closed schools, and a war “coordinated with America.” We can only wonder why Bibi's physician spent 90% of this interview speaking about the war in a very politicised way, rather than seriously addressing the claims and providing substantial and verifiable evidence of Netanyahu's well-being. We’re sharing the video of that Digi24 interview, which we translated from Romanian to English using AI. The translation is very approximate, but good enough to show how a supposed health update sits on top of: ➡️ an unexplained four‑hour holding pattern by a plane built to be Netanyahu’s flying bunker and operating theatre, and ➡️ a missile war in which “civilian” Tel Aviv neighbourhoods may also conceal deep military command infrastructure. I have no idea if Netanyahu is dead or alive, but the released AI videos that are supposed to prove he is in good health, sure look very suspicious...

Larry C. Johnson & Scott Ritter: Why War with Iran Would be America's Biggest Mistake Scott's reality is based on too many assumptions and misguided concepts, despite his legendary honesty - Russia and China are going to play ball and follow international rules whilst Iran gets destroyed (really?) - Iran will or has acquired nuclear weapons (in reality, there is no evidence of either, just statements) - Iran is under no moral obligation to follow any of its NPT commitments as long as Israel's nuclear weapon program represents an existential threat to its nation and remains unregulated - How does the US intend to invade Iran when today, the Marine Corps could barely produce a regimental combat team, and that would be light infantry, virtually useless in a modern warfare setting, according to Colonel Gary Anderson. - It takes a ground incursion to root out the launchers and command and control installations... In my opinion, a nation-ending strike, to use Scott's own words, seems a bit far-fetched. - - How much technology transfer has occurred between China and Iran, and between Russia and Iran? do we actually know? What Scott proposes is for Iran to bend its knee and swallow their pride to save their population, when the US cannot be trusted, with Netanyahu in charge of US foreign policies in the ME and free speech in the US? What guarantees can the US provide to Iran? None because the US doesn't call the shots, Israel does. Perhaps the time has come for the US to stop backing Israel's war crimes and recognise the threat Israel's hegemony represents to the entire region. The new JCPOA suggested by Trump must be binding for both Iran and Israel, or it won't be a deal.
