Pete Hegseth Says Largest Volume of Strikes to Date in Iran Expected Today Before Tomorrow’s “Complete Demolition” of Iran

War Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters on Monday that Iran would face its heaviest round of US strikes ahead of Trump’s deadline for Iran to make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face “complete demolition.”

President Trump held a press conference on Monday with Secretary Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, and CIA Director John Rattcliffe, following the successful search and rescue operation for the crew of an F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jet that was shot down last week over Iran.

While discussing the mission to rescue two downed Airmen in Iran over the weekend, Hegseth praised God for the successful mission and the Easter miracle, commending the brave heroes’ “faith and fighting spirit.” The pilot who was stranded for nearly 50 hours in enemy territory, Hegseth said, sent his first message, after surviving the incident and making it to safety, from inside Iran on his emergency transponder, saying “Good is good.”

He further revealed that the President had ordered “the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation” before tomorrow’s deadline, where bombs will rain down “even more than today.”

“And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely because this President does not play around. You can ask Soleimani, you can ask Maduro, you can ask Khamenei,” Hegseth declared.

The US and Israel Are Making Gaza-Style War The New Normal

One of the most appalling aspects of the Gaza genocide — besides its near-unprecedented slaughter of children and other innocents and its near-obliteration from existence of an entire society, unpparalleled in the modern era — is that officials in both the United States and Israel were overtly hoping to make it the new, horrifying standard for modern war. As we’re seeing right now in Iran and Lebanon, they’re not wasting any time applying that standard elsewhere.

Last year, as Gaza lay in ruins with more than 10 percent of its population killed or injured, the New Yorker ran a chilling story related to the Gaza genocide. The magazine reported that a variety of US military lawyers and legal experts viewed Israel’s spree of murder and destruction in Gaza as not just a completely acceptable way to prosecute a war but as “a dress rehearsal” for a future conflict with a US adversary like China: namely, one free of restraint, adherence to international law, and squeamishness about killing civilians.

What Israel did with full US backing in Gaza, in other words, should be the new normal for war, at least when “our side” does it.

The report sat uncomfortably alongside a pattern of US and Israeli officials incessantly invoking the Allies’ carpet bombing campaigns during World War II to justify the genocide they carried out. For almost the entire period after the war, those bombing campaigns were universally understood to be war crimes and a moral horror — including by Curtis LeMay himself, the psychotic general who led the firebombing of Japan and later itched for nuclear war with the Soviet Union — and one that the civilized world immediately outlawed after that war, when it created the system of international law that today clings on by its fingernails.

It was so appalling that even Richard Nixon felt the need to pretend to the press in 1972 that the Dresden firebombing had gone too far and that he would never do such a thing to Vietnam, even though he would be totally justified if he did. (He did do it, for the record). Yet for the past three years, American and Israeli hawks have no longer even bothered to pretend.

What is now playing out in Iran and Lebanon is this doctrine in action.

Israel bombs Tehran as Iranians taunt Trump

Israel has conducted yet another wave of strikes against infrastructure targets including an airport in Tehran, after striking at least two petrochemical facilities in Iran the day before.

In the meantime, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense claimed the debris from a successful “interception and destruction” of at least seven ballistic missiles fell in the vicinity of its energy facilities, with the damage still being “assessed.”

Israeli forces attacked Iran’s largest petrochemical facility in the South Pars natural gas field and a petrochemical complex in the city of Marvdasht earlier on Monday – as US President Donald Trump has stepped up threats to strike Iran’s infrastructure if American and Israel-linked shipping is not allowed through the Strait of Hormuz by Wednesday.

“It is Trump who has about 20 hours to either surrender to Iran or see his allies return to the Stone Age. We will not back down!” Mahdi Mohammadi, a senior adviser to Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, claimed.

Tehran has reportedly rejected a US ceasefire proposal, circulated by Egyptian, Pakistani, and Turkish mediators, instead offering a ten‑clause plan that calls for a permanent end to the war. The demands reportedly include an end to conflicts across the region, protocols to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of sanctions, and provisions for reconstruction.

Rep. Tim Burchett Makes Stunning Statements About the Existence of Alien Life Forms on Earth

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee spoke to TMZ earlier today and made some amazing comments about the existence of alien life among us, claiming that he and others were recently briefed by a high ranking government official.

The two TMZ hosts who were speaking to Burchett asked him to be specific about whether he was talking about alien tech or alien life forms and he said it is both.

It is ironic that Burchett is talking about this as the world is watching the amazing Artemis II moon mission.

From TMZ:

Rep. Tim Burchett says a member of our government has told him extraterrestrial beings have visited our planet, traveling on an otherworldly craft … and made contact with humans!!!

The Congressman from Tennessee joined us on “TMZ Live” Monday and we asked him about aliens … and he didn’t hold back.

Rep. Burchett says he’s had multiple government and military officials tell him extraterrestrials exist … it sounds out there, but he insists it’s true.

Don’t go running for the hills … Rep. Burchett says there doesn’t appear to be any danger to human life. After all, he says their technology is so advanced and so far beyond our comprehension that these life forms could have wiped us out long ago … and we’re still here.

FBI Director Kash Patel Allowing FBI to Bury Seth Rich Case or Does He Even Know What’s Happening?

Attorney Ty Clevenger has been working on the Seth Rich case for a decade.   The Deep State actors running the government continue to stall and defy court orders, and Clevenger continues to demand justice.

It is believed that Seth Rich is a pivotal key to the Russia Collusion coup attempt of the first Trump Administration.

The Deep State DOJ and FBI have gone through extreme efforts to cover up any information they have on Seth Rich.  Rich is who many believe transferred DNC emails to WikiLeaks during the 2016 election.  He was a Bernie fan who worked in the DNC at that time.  He was reportedly upset with what the DNC was doing to Bernie.  On July 10, 2016, Rich was found shot in the back due to what law enforcement labeled a burglary, and yet his wallet, phone, and watch were left on his person.  This is at the time WikiLeaks began dropping damaging DNC emails that showed the inner workings of the Hillary campaign.

It is believed that Seth Rich forwarded emails from Podesta to WikiLeaks. 

We all know without a doubt that it is a lie to claim that the Russians were involved in the transfer of these emails.  There is simply no evidence that Russia was involved, and there never has been evidence that Russia was involved.

Hillary wanted to deflect attention from her email scandal and the contents of her emails.  She also wanted to punish whoever sent those emails to WikiLeaks.  This is why many believe Seth Rich was murdered.

War-Torn Congo Agrees to Take U.S. Deportees Under Latest Trump Crackdown

The Trump administration has secured a new agreement with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to take in deported illegal aliens.

Deportees will begin arriving in the troubled African nation this month under the new arrangement, according to the country’s Ministry of Communications.

The arrangement is described as temporary, with the U.S. covering all logistical costs.

The DRC said the agreement reflects its “commitment to human dignity and international solidarity” and confirmed each case would be reviewed individually.

Their statement read:

This initiative is established in accordance with the sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of the Congo regarding the management of access to and residence of foreigners on its territory, and is part of its international and regional commitments regarding the protection of migrants’ rights.

It also reflects the Congolese State’s unwavering commitment to human dignity and international solidarity. A country deeply affected by humanitarian realities and already hosting populations of diverse nationalities, the Democratic Republic of Congo remains committed to the values of hospitality and shared responsibility among nations.

NBC Report Drops Truth Bomb: Newsom’s Lies About Gas Prices Are Pure Gaslighting

Rising tensions tied to the war in Iran and its impact on global oil shipping routes are contributing to higher gas prices across the United States, with California drivers facing some of the steepest costs in the country.

The national average price for gasoline has now surpassed $4 per gallon, while California’s statewide average is hovering just below $6.

In several locations across the state, prices have climbed even higher, widening the gap between California and the rest of the nation.

As consumers question why California continues to pay significantly more at the pump, analysts point to a combination of long-standing state policies and factors that remain less clearly understood.

Dr. Severin Borenstein, faculty director of the Energy Institute at Haas at the University of California, Berkeley, said California’s higher fuel taxes, environmental fees, and unique gasoline blend account for roughly half of the price difference compared to the national average.

However, he said those factors alone do not fully explain the current price gap.

“The difference is what I call the mystery gasoline surcharge,” Borenstein said.

According to Borenstein, prior to 2015, California gas prices generally tracked closer to the national average, with an additional 90 cents to $1 per gallon attributed to the state’s taxes and environmental requirements.

Latest Operation Epic Fury Data: 365 US Troops Wounded in Action, 13 Dead

The Pentagon has added Operation Epic Fury to its casualty database, as of April 3 showing 365 U.S. troops wounded in action and 13 killed.

The update marks the first time the Department of Defense has publicly included Operation Epic Fury in its official casualty tracking system, offering the clearest snapshot yet of the human toll tied to the operation. The figures provide new insight into how the military is tracking wounded and killed troops as the conflict unfolds.

The update follows weeks of rising casualty reports tied to the operation. On Friday and into Saturday, a search remained ongoing for one of two F-15E crew members taken down in Iran. U.S. officials said March 1 that three service members had been killed and five seriously wounded. By March 2, the number of those killed had risen to six.

Reporting later in March put the death toll at 13 and the number of wounded near 300, highlighting a steady increase as the operation expanded.  

Military.com sought clarification on how the Pentagon defines those killed in action, died of wounds, or non-hostile deaths. A Defense Department duty officer directed questions to U.S. Central Command.

Saudi Prince Reveals Obama Gave Iranian Regime $150 Billion – And Iran Did Not Build a Single Street

This past week, Saudi Prince Mohammad bin Salman revealed that President Obama gave Iran $150 billion when Obama was in office, and the regime did not even build a single street with that money.

Instead, they used the money to make missiles and drones and to fortify their proxy armies in the region like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers a safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons, who was indoctrinated into jihadism.

This was Barack Obama’s way of destabilizing the Middle East. And Obama did this all in public view. Well, most of it.

This was a direct threat against Israel and American allies in the region. Obama always brought chaos with him and left a trail of destruction. He took actions to spread this chaos and evil across the Middle East.

The Gateway Pundit readers know that we have reported on Barack Obama’s pallets of cash sent to Iran in the dead of night.
