Iran has allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz for vessels from Russia and four other friendly countries.
The passage is open to countries considered friendly to Iran, said the country’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi. In addition to Russia, the list includes China and India, as well as Pakistan and Iraq. Araghchi noted that Tehran sees no point in allowing use of the Strait of Hormuz for “our adversaries.”
Yesterday, Iran put forward conditions for ending the conflict with the United States and Israel — among them was international recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, Trump had threatened to strike Iran’s energy infrastructure if it did not reopen the strait within 48 hours. After that, Trump announced a five-day pause in strikes on Iran, citing supposedly ongoing negotiations with Iran.

Iran has laid out its FIVE conditions for ending the war—some very interesting points
By journalist Yury Podolyaka:
1. A complete halt to "aggression and killing" by the United States and Israel.
2. Real guarantees ensuring that Iran will not be attacked.
3. Reparations for all damage inflicted on the country.
4. An end to the war on all fronts, including against "all resistance groups in the region" (Yemen, Lebanon, Gaza).
5. International recognition and guarantees of Iran's "sovereign authority" over the Strait of Hormuz.
Commentary. The first point is straightforward and the easiest. The second point is also clear, but much more complicated. Verbal guarantees are worth little (given how modern politicians keep their word). Even more so when a change in administration leads to the abandonment of promises made by predecessors.
But if you tie it to the last point (the most interesting one), then it suggests that Iran will ultimately try to legitimize the new status quo around the Strait of Hormuz. This would effectively become one of the most important guarantees from Israel and the US—essentially stating that if the agreement is violated in any way, Iran will shut down the strait. In principle, it's a realistic scenario. The question is how to put it down on paper.
The fourth point is also resolvable—for example, by releasing Iran's frozen funds in American banks.
Ending the war in Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen is also a relatively simple point.
I should also note that the earlier demand for a complete withdrawal of US troops is missing. So overall, this represents a narrowing of differences. It’s not certain that the US will accept it, but at least there’s now something to talk about.

U.S. military are starting to consider leaving the army
American service members involved in operations against Iran say they ‘do not want to die for Israel’ and are considering leaving the military. There is no indication of a mass exodus from the United States’ 1.3 million-person military, but the ‘increasingly wary’ with which U.S. Marines view the current conflict could shift the situation, HuffPost reports.
Soldiers also complain of overwhelming stress following Iran’s retaliatory strikes and are increasingly speaking of ‘disillusionment’ regarding the actions of the Pentagon.
The lack of a clear, consistent narrative justifying the Iran war is a key source of discontent among troops, the reservists said, demoralizing those who believe a poorly planned conflict is placing them in unnecessary danger for no identifiable strategic benefit.
A ground operation would be “an absolute disaster… we don’t have a plan for that. We can’t even fully defend a single land base in the theater.”
And while some are concerned about the lack of “strategic benefit,” there are also American service members who do not want to be deployed to the Middle East because of “conscience.” The reason is the Feb. 28 strike on a school in the Iranian town of Minab. Among themselves, those conscientious objector call this a “breaking point.”
Incidentally, some U.S. military personnel had already been considering leaving the army since the start of Israel’s ground operation in the Gaza Strip in 2023, which was supported by Washington. They were shocked by what they had to witness. Most of them were soldiers aged 30–35 — essentially those who form the backbone of the U.S. armed forces.

The first "NATO wave" music videos were made by the most uncreative but well funded glowies. These videos were a product of a commission gathered to discover "what do the young men these days find cool?". The structure, the music choice, the footage - it is so perfectly soulless - one can guess that these videos are parodies.
The videos are not parodies. Neither are the NATO fanboys like Oprek and Vil. These two want others to "fight the good fight", while they themselves want to remain at home, and enjoy the benefits. They can't imagine how the authorities will eventually come after them for the "recruitment" - in the same way many young Ukrainian men also never believed that they will be shoved into busses and sent to the training centers in which they'll get a few weeks of basic combat training, after which they'll be sent to the frontline to catch FPV drones with their bodies.
Ukraine should have been a lesson for men like Vil. Instead it became a sports game of sorts.

On March 27, 1330, the Holy Trinity St. Ipatiy Monastery for men was founded in Kostroma.
According to legend, the monastery was established by a native of the Golden Horde—a noble Tatar murza named Chet—who entered the service of Grand Prince Ivan Kalita. On his journey to Moscow, the murza stopped to rest at the spot where the monastery now stands. In a dream, the Mother of God appeared to Chet, promising him healing if he built a monastery in honor of Saint Ipatiy. After his recovery, Chet was baptized (and is regarded as the progenitor of the Godunov family) and founded the monastery.
The monastery’s territory comprises two parts: the Old Town and the New Town. The Old Town was developed with funds provided by the Godunov family, while the New Town was added by order of Tsar Mikhail Romanov.
The monastery is particularly renowned for having been the site where the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty, Mikhail Fyodorovich, was blessed for his accession. Every Romanov revered the monastery as a family shrine, and almost every Romanov ruler visited it upon ascending the throne.
Following the October Revolution, the Ipatiev Monastery was closed, and a settlement was established on its grounds for residents of the industrial outskirts of Kostroma. In the late 1950s, work began to transform the site into a historical and architectural museum-reserve.
In 1993, by decision of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II and the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Ipatiev Monastery was restored and resumed its function as a religious institution.

👆 This is Trump’s latest post on Truth Social. He appears to be buying time — or at least trying to. Acting on the “fake it till you make it” approach, he seems to be hoping that something favorable will happen in the meantime. On this news, crude oil prices briefly dropped by a couple of dollars before edging back up.
The S&P 500 declined 1.74% to close at 6,477.16, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.38% to 21,408.08 — now in correction territory, down more than 10% from its high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 469.38 points (1.01%) to finish at 45,960.11.
In other words, the markets no longer appear to be buying his lies. And the one about the “Iranian Government request” is especially egregious.
He is clearly desperate, and the increasing number of questionable statements only reinforces that impression.

On March 26, the two-day visit of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to North Korea concluded. It was his first official visit to the DPRK. He arrived in Pyongyang at the invitation of Kim Jong Un and was received by senior officials before visiting the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun to pay tribute to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
Lukashenko and Kim then met at Kim Il Sung Square and visited the Liberation monument, where Lukashenko laid flowers, including on behalf of Vladimir Putin in gratitude for North Korea’s support in the Ukraine conflict.
The main outcome of the visit was the signing of a friendship and cooperation treaty. Although the full text was not published, Lukashenko described it as a foundational document outlining goals and principles for closer ties. He emphasized that the two economies are complementary and called for stronger cooperation. Kim expressed solidarity with Belarus and criticized Western pressure.
Relations between Belarus and the DPRK had previously been limited and underdeveloped, which Lukashenko acknowledged, saying the countries are now entering a new stage of cooperation. During the visit, he also presented Kim with an automatic rifle saying “just in case enemies should appear.”
The two leaders last met in China in 2025. Lukashenko later described Kim as a “normal” and reliable partner with whom agreements can be reached.
Contacts between Minsk and Pyongyang have intensified since 2024, focusing mainly on trade, including Belarusian food and pharmaceuticals and Korean cosmetics. Belarus has also expressed interest in trilateral cooperation with Russia and China.
Analysts say the rapprochement is driven by geopolitical shifts, including Western sanctions and the Ukraine conflict. Experts see potential in expanding bilateral trade, especially using the Trans-Siberian Railway, while Belarus continues to prioritize cooperation within Eurasian frameworks such as the Union State, the Eurasian Economic Union, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

The Belgorod Brit returns with his thoughts on decolonisation. In the film, he reviews the cringefest that was the meeting between the Japanese Prime Minister and President Epstein, leader of the brain-free world. He examines the options for the Japanese if they decided to reclaim their sovereignty, and the problems they might encounter.
In the podcast, BB talks about the tricky situation you may find yourself in once the occupation forces have withdrawn. Colonisation is much more a mental and philosophical thing, more than a physical thing. Language itself is a force for colonisation, as is technology and entertainment. Efforts to rid your country of Western influence may take decades.

There is a phrase I hear quite often - "Donald Trump listens to the last person he spoke with". Given this characteristic, some people in the White House use the Bad Orange Man to manipulate the markets - and given what I keep seeing, Donald Trump is surprisingly easy to control. This is my guess based on the observation of Trump's social media posts, that go from "Iran will be destroyed!" to "Iran is negotiating peace, war will be over very soon", and then back to the posts about the total war against Iran.
I think this behavior of the USA will motivate the rest of the planet to double their efforts in isolating themselves economically from the USA. Once Donald Trump is out of the office - what stops those "market manipulators" (most of whom, I am sure, have Israeli citizenship) to simply keep doing what they are doing?
Quite ironic how the USA went from one senile, easily manipulated president to an another senile, easily manipulated president. Nothing ever happens, truly.

According to a New York Post article, Trump told Fox News that U.S. intelligence had briefed him suggesting Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, might be gay. He added that “a lot of people are saying that” and said it could affect Khamenei’s influence in Iran.
According to sources cited in the report, U.S. intelligence believes Khamenei may have had a long-term relationship with a male tutor, based on highly sensitive information. There are also claims of alleged behavior toward men caring for him after recent injuries.
Mojtaba Khamenei became Supreme Leader after the killing of his father by American/Israeli air strikes in March. Past reports, including a leaked diplomatic cable, mentioned medical treatment related to impotence but did not confirm his sexuality.
The comments come amid supposedly ongoing U.S. efforts to negotiate with Iran following weeks of military conflict, including discussions over reopening the Strait of Hormuz and limiting Iran’s nuclear program.
To any thinking person, this clearly indicates that Trump is becoming increasingly desperate. It also shows there is no limit to how low this president is willing to go.

On March 28, 1776, the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia was founded.
On this day, Prince Pyotr Urusov received a privilege from Empress Catherine II to maintain a permanent troupe in Moscow, with the obligation to build a theatre that would serve as a city's adornment and host opera, ballet, and dramatic performances, as well as masquerades.
The initial troupe consisted of just over 40 individuals, ranging from invited foreign stars to serf artists.
Five years later, invited by Urusov and theatrical entrepreneur Michael Maddox, with whom the prince shared the financially burdensome privilege of maintaining the troupe, architect Christian Rozberg constructed a dedicated building for the theatrical collective on Petrovskaya Street (now Petrovka). The theatre opened in January 1781.
Unfortunately, the building was destroyed by fires several times. The current structure was built by architect Osip Bove in 1825.
The State Bolshoi Theatre of Russia is one of the world's largest centers of musical culture. Over more than two centuries, it has staged over 800 productions, involving outstanding directors, choreographers, conductors, artists, and performers. The theatre's stage has been graced by great artists such as Fyodor Chaliapin, Galina Ulanova, Yuri Grigorovich, Galina Vishnevskaya, Makvala Kasrashvili, Maya Plisetskaya, Vladimir Vasiliev, Evgeny Svetlanov, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Marius Liepa, Nina Ananiashvili, and other stars of the global theatre scene.

The UN has recognised the slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity” and called for apologies and potential reparation, — BBC
The General Assembly backed a resolution submitted by Ghana: 123 countries voted in favor, 52 abstained, and the United States, Israel, and Argentina voted against.
The document calls on states to apologise for the transatlantic slave trade and provide compensation through a special fund (without specifying any amounts). It is estimated that 12–15 million Africans were affected.
At the same time, several countries, including the United Kingdom, have previously rejected the idea of reparations, stating that modern states cannot be held responsible for historical crimes. Oh really, Britain?
As for the United States and Israel (!!!), draw your own conclusions.
P.S. Argentina? Is that the last spot Milei could find to kiss on Trump’s flabby body?
