Peloni:  Iran launched ballistic missile strikes on the southern Israeli cities of Arad and Dimona, injuring over 100 people, including several in serious condition, and causing significant damage to residential buildings. Some missiles penetrated Israel’s air defenses, prompting an investigation into the failure. The attack is claimed to be retaliation for earlier strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, and it marks a major escalation in the ongoing conflict, particularly because the targeted area is near Israel’s nuclear research center. IDF source have confirmed that the interceptors fired at these missiles failed, leading to the missile strikes, and that the series of missiles used in this strike are not new.   The interceptors, reportedly fired by US THAAD system, failed to prevent the missiles from striking the residential areas.

Peloni:  Lebanon must produce results, full stop.  No let up on military pressure, and no release of prisoners, and no concessions of any kind should be offered.  Also, Israel should put her sites on clearing the area upto the Awali River, not just to the Litani, which is still quite close to Israel’s borders.

This conflict could finally free Beirut from Hezbollah

When Hezbollah launched attacks on northern Israel on October 8, 2023, ostensibly in solidarity with Hamas, Israel initially considered confronting its stronger northern adversary first before shifting focus south to take on Hamas in Gaza. The Biden Administration vetoed this approach, warning of potential regional or global escalation. Israel therefore prioritised operations in Gaza while engaging in tit-for-tat exchanges with Hezbollah.

It’s terrifying. We could have been mourning the deaths of many schoolchildren in West Bloomfield, Michigan, this week. That was the intention of the brother of the Hezbollah terrorist killed in Lebanon who attacked Temple Israel, a synagogue filled with preschoolers.

Background: U.S. Government Warnings

Iran’s calls of “Death to America” over the past 47 years of its Islamic regime have never been mere rhetoric. U.S. intelligence agencies have long warned that Tehran’s ideological messaging and covert networks could inspire or enable attacks inside the U.S.

The US victories in World War II (WWII) over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan offer profound lessons on transforming militant dictatorships, led by cult-like virtually religious ideologues.

Leonard Grunstein | Mar 17, 2026

The terrorist theocratic Iranian Regime, with unabated nuclear ambitions, in a long-standing state of war of aggression against the US and Israel, is now facing extinction. Coordinated airstrikes by the U.S. (Operation Epic Fury) and Israel (Operation Roaring Lion), targeting the Regime and IRGC leadership, ballistic missile launchers, nuclear sites, military sites, air defenses and naval assets, have been devastatingly successful.

However, notwithstanding the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Regime rejected surrender and continues its aggression with missile/drone attacks against U.S. bases and sites in the region and civilian targets in Israel, as well as the Gulf Arab States.

Peloni: The pretense that an Armageddonis terror regime which has chanted death to America for 50yrs is not a threat to the US while it builds nuclear bombs, along with the missiles capable of delivering these bombs to cities around the US, was always based on something between political rhetoric and fantastical non-realities.  The threat lies in their attempts at maturing the capabilities to fulfill the hopes enshrined in their chants of Death to America.  Some will say that this failed attack on Diego Garcia was the first shot demonstrating this truth, but the reality is that the shots against America began decades ago, in the murder of American servicemen and American citizens across the globe.  Indeed, the slaughter of thousands of Americans demonstrated the intent of the Iranian regime, even as they have bankrupted their nation trying to develop capabilities to fulfill the greater realization of that intent.

“Iran is not a threat.”

Iran just proved it can strike over 2,300 miles—hitting Diego Garcia with missiles it insisted didn’t exist. This wasn’t a test. It was a revelation.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger | “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | March 20, 2026

Watch the video by clicking photo below and read the full original Op-Ed here:

The annual $3.8 billion US investment in Israel (misperceived as “foreign aid”) is the most profitable strategic investment in US history. This video explores how Israel serves as a unique economic and defense force-multiplier for the US, yielding an outsized Return-on-Investment. From upgrading the F-35 and surging its exports, to providing intelligence worth “five CIAs,” the partnership saves the US billions in R&D and replaces the need for multiple aircraft carriers. Discover why this alliance is a critical, mutually-beneficial two-way street for US national security and prosperity.

The language of nuance has become a cover for cowardice, moral inversion, and paralysis in the face of terror and Iran’s ambitions.

The Pretense of “Nuance”

Let’s stop pretending.

What we are witnessing is not confusion or nuance. It is cowardice—cloaked in sophistication, marketed as restraint, and defended as wisdom.

Peloni: Mike Doran and Gadi Taub discuss the current events in the war in Iran and beyond.  Mike addresses the West’s lack of competence in dealing with the Islamist threat on its own shores while also provides an interesting explanation for how there are two clocks counting down which will decide if Trump will declare victory after achieving it or in lieu of achieving it.  He also argues that while he hopes to see the fall of the IRGC, if they are not defeated in this war, there are still many important tools which can defeat them long term.  The second half of the program addresses the campaign in Lebanon and the fallout surrounding the Yemeni Fields Affair.
