The Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah has released footage showing successful strikes on Israeli Merkava main battle tanks, one of which was seen being destroyed in the Tel Al-Nahas area on the outskirts of the town of Kafr Kila in southern Lebanon. Footage has shown extensive use of Russian Kornet anti-tank missiles, which were first used by the paramilitary group to repel an Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2006. Hezbollah for the first time since 2024 initiated hostilities with Israeli forces on March 1, in response to Israeli and U.S. attacks on its close strategic partner Iran.
In contemporary South Asian crises, velocity matters more than military power. Velocity means how fast responsibility is assigned, actions are authorized, limited operations are executed, and a dominant narrative is established before diplomatic intervention. Rather than focusing only on military capability, velocity is about the speed of coordinated action. Countries that move swiftly to shape events gain political advantages, even if their material strength is less.Pakistan’s post-2025 defense reorganization, in line with the 27th amendment to its constitution, acknowledges this shift.
Congress has unintentionally shifted the burden of preventing an unconstitutional war squarely onto the military. By failing to exercise its war powers, it has positioned the American military as a firewall made of parchment between itself and the White House. Democratic members of Congress and the Senate have issued solemn warnings regarding unlawful orders and disobedience, hoping the military will do what Congress hasn’t: prevent an unconstitutional war.This is not the right path.
The Israeli Air Force has reported the successful shootdown of an Iranian Air Force Yak-130 combat trainer over the capital Tehran, as part of its sustained military offensive launched alongside the Untied States on February 28 which is aimed specifically at toppling the Iranian government and installing a Western-aligned replacement. The shootdown, if confirmed, would represent the first ever achieved by the F-35 against a manned aircraft, making it the second fighter of its generation to have achieved this.

Satellite images of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar have indicated major damage from Iranian ballistic missile strikes, and possibly from strikes by single use attack drones. Iran has launched by far the largest simultaneous set of attacks on U.S. bases across the Middle East in history, with these having begun on February 28 after the United States and Israel initiated large scale attacks on targets across the country, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other figures in the country’s political and military leadership. Al Udeid is the primary hub of U.S.

In recent weeks, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) has come under attack by politicians in the Virginia Legislature through House Bills #1374 and #1377. These baseless bills attempt to once again falsely portray the problem at VMI as being an institutionally racist and sexist school that resists change.
