The Belgian Armed Forces have landed and conducted an armed takeover of an oil tanker, the Ethera, in international waters in the North Sea, during a coordinated operation supported by France, after the vessel was reported to have been exporting Russian oil. The tanker, which was sailing under the flag of Guinea, was forced to the port of Zeebrugge, and is expected to be sold and the funds appropriated by European states involved in the operation.

The Trump administration should abandon any plans to arm Iranian Kurdish forces before the first fighter crosses the Iraqi-Iranian border. Not refine it. Not sequence it more carefully. Drop it entirely. The operation will not topple the Iranian regime, will inflame the Persian nationalism that is the Islamic Republic’s most reliable reserve fuel, and — most damagingly — will hand Tehran a coalition-fracturing tool it did not have to build. There is no version of this gambit that serves American strategic interests.
Most accounts of the Manhattan Project tell a familiar story: American scientists relentlessly racing to design and build the fission bombs that would ultimately fall on Japan. A neglected chapter of the saga was the obsessive advocacy of a handful of physicists who favored a far more potent weapon design. The “Super” of their imagination would derive its explosive energy not simply from fission, or the splitting of atomic nuclei, but also from the fusion of deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen.

German officials speaking to the Wall Street Journal have warned that the country has been left poorly protected against potential air or missile attacks due to the transfer of military systems, and particularly MIM-104 Patriot long range air defence systems, to Ukraine. The issue has been exacerbated by the more recent deployment of remaining Patriot systems to protect Poland on NATO’s eastern flank from late 2025.
The U.S. Air Force on March 4 scrambled two F-35A and two F-22 fifth generation fighter aircraft to interceptor two Russian Tu-142 anti-submarine warfare aircraft in the Alaskan and Canadian Air Defence identification zones, with the Russian aircraft being closely shadowed, and remaining in international airspace. The fighters were supported by four KC-135 tankers, and one E-3 airborne warning and control system (AWACS), while Canada deployed two F-18 fighters and a CC-150 tanker.
Reports from multiple Western sources confirmed on March 5 that the United States Army has expended over 800 anti-ballistic missiles from MIM-104 Patriot long range air defence systems during just five days of hostilities with Iran, after the U.S and Israel both launched a large scale attack against the country on February 28.
A NATO E-3A Sentry airborne warning and control systems (AWACS) have conducted their first ever operational mission over Finnish airspace, positioning them in close proximity to the Russian Arctic and well within range to monitor deep into Russian territory.
