For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying Russia’s war machine.

So I tracked down government minister Niall Collins at a farming show.

He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected.

Avoidance.

CHART OF THE DAY: US refiners are going gangbusters trying to solve the global jet-fuel shortage (and to cash in record high margins).

The chart shows seasonal jet-fuel output from 2000-to-date (2026 is top line in blue). The bottom outliers are 2020 and 2021 during Covid.

Sources: FIFA wanted level 4 motorcade escort for its president while in Vancouver (ability to go through traffic lights).

That’s 1 level below the pope - but on par with 🇺🇸 president - and higher than 🇨🇦 PM.

The request was denied.

A young girl is her family’s sole survivor from an Israel airstrike. A baby is recovering from head injuries in another. The number of child casualties in Lebanon is abnormally high, doctors say. With @GarwenM @CunninghamCSky @Jeehad_jn @waeltaleb23

Hungary's Péter Magyar spots Viktor Orbán chilling on a balcony at President Tamás Sulyok’s residence:

“Absolute cinema.”

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this every time they see a map of the Strait of Hormuz.

Today’s Israeli settlers acting violently and with impunity video. It’s pretty much daily now

A group of investigative journalists, including @michaeldweiss, obtained another intercepted conversation between Hungary’s FM Péter Szijjártó and Lavrov.

It appears that Moscow may have been able to access virtually any information it sought from the EU/NATO via Budapest.

Trump says the journalist who reported that the US had initially only rescued one F-15E pilot in Iran will "go to jail" unless they reveal their source.

[Redmond Shannon @RedShannon]

The prominence given by international English language media to two missing U.S. pilots in a war that has killed hundreds of civilians is quite something.

A first look at an apparent tungsten pellet from the U.S. strikes on Lamerd, Feb. 28. PrSM is designed to detonate above target and disperse thousands of these pellets outward. Our analysis shows they killed at least 21 people, including girls who were at volleyball practice.

[Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1]

The IDF took what appears to be unprecedented action against the battalion involved in my team's assault & detention.
In many ways, that's due to our position as US journalists. In too many cases involving Palestinian journalists & civilians, we've seen a lack of accountability.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: Tehran was loading five (5!!!) oil tankers simultaneously yesterday at Kharg Island, as the US-Israel-Iran war enters into its fifth week.

While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team.
But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement.

Iranian state TV says "Iran will end the war when it decides to do so" and Iran wants the US to pay war damages and reparations.
Yesterday Trump said Iran would give the US "very significant prize" relarted to oil and gas.

[Press TV 🔻 @PressTV]

Press TV has obtained information regarding Iran's response to the American proposal and Iran's conditions for ending the war, which will be published shortly.
