Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Meta planning sweeping layoffs as AI costs mount: Reuters
PUBLISHED SAT, MAR 14 20266:19 AM:49
==Meta
is planning sweeping layoffs that could affect 20% or more of the company, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as Meta seeks to offset costly artificial intelligence infrastructure bets and prepare for greater efficiency brought about by AI-assisted workers.==
No date has been set for the cuts and the magnitude has not been finalized, the people said.
Top executives haverecently signaled the plans to other senior leaders at Meta and told them to begin planning how to pare back, two of the people said. The sources spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to disclose the cuts.
“This is speculative reporting about theoretical approaches,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in response to questions about the plan.
If Meta settles on the 20% figure, the layoffs will be the company’s most significant since a restructuring in late 2022 and early 2023 that it dubbed the “year of efficiency.” It employed nearly 79,000 people as of December 31, according to its latest filing.
The company laid off 11,000 staffers in November 2022, or around 13% of its workforce at the time. Around four months later, it announced it was cutting another 10,000 jobs.
Zuckerberg focusing on generative AI
Over the last year, CEO Mark Zuckerberghas been pushing Meta to compete more forcefully in generative AI. The company has offered huge pay packages, some worth hundreds of millions of dollars over four years, to court top AI researchers to a new superintelligence team.
The company has said it plans toinvest $600 billion to build data centers by 2028. Earlier this week, it acquired Moltbook, a social networking platform built for AI agents. Meta is also spending atleast $2 billion to buy Chinese AI startup Manus, Reuters previously reported.
Zuckerberg has alluded to efficiency gains from the investments, saying in January he wasstarting to see “projects that used to require big teams now be accomplished by a single very talented person.”
Meta’s plans reflect a broader pattern among major U.S. companies, particularly in tech, this year. Executives have pointed to recent improvements in AI systems as one reason for the changes.
In January, Amazon confirmed it would cut some 16,000 jobs, amounting to nearly 10% of its workforce. Last month, the fintech company Block
chopped nearly half of its staff, with CEO Jack Dorsey explicitly pointing to AI tools and their growing capability to help companies do more with smaller teams.
Meta’s planned AI investments follow a series of setbacks with its Llama 4 models last year, including criticism that they produced misleading results on the benchmarks used for earlier versions. It abandoned the release of the largest version of that model, called Behemoth, which had been due out in the summer.
The superintelligence team has been working to reassert the company’s standingthis year by building a new model called Avocado, but the model’s performance has also lagged expectations.

Freaks are running the world
Older women set to inherit most of $54 trillion in ‘great wealth transfer’ to widowed spouses
PUBLISHED SAT, MAR 14 20269:30 AM
KEY POINTS
• An estimated $54 trillion is expected to pass on to spouses during the so-called great wealth transfer, with $40 trillion of it going to women who are baby boomers or older, the research shows.
• This is largely because the average life span for males in the U.S. is 76.5 years as of 2024, compared with 81.4 years for females.
• Older women whose spouses have traditionally handled investments and long-term planning may want to make sure they at least know some basics, financial advisors say.
For many married women, one of the biggest financial transitions of their lives will come when it’s least welcome: after the death of their spouse.
Women, on average, live longer than men — a longevity gap that means many wives will outlive their husbands. At birth, the average life span for males in the U.S. is 76.5 years as of 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For women, that average is 81.4 years.
The gap shrinks once you reach age 65. At that point, life expectancy for men is another 18.4 years, or to age 83.4, according to the CDC data. For women, that average is 20.8 years, or age 85.8.
That difference in life span means women are expected to receive most of the spouse-to-spouse wealth that gets passed on during the so-called great wealth transfer. That’s a period between 2024 and 2048 when an estimated $124 trillion will be passed on largely by baby boomers — those born 1946 to 1964 — and older generations, according to research from Cerulli Associates.
Of that amount, an estimated $54 trillion will get passed on to widowed spouses — 95% of which will go to women, according to Cerulli Associates. And, $40 trillion of it will go to widowed women who are baby boomers or older, the research shows.
==Familiarize yourself with the finances••
When it comes to women in these older generations, financial advisors say it is common for couples to have embraced the traditional role of the husband managing the investments and long-term planning.
“In many older households, the husband historically has handled most of the financial decisions,” said certified financial planner Ryan Marshall, a partner and financial advisor at ELA Financial Group in Wyckoff, New Jersey.
“It’s just more common that [older women] hadn’t been part of it,” Marshall said. “They’ve been taking care of everything else in the family.”

Iran women’s football team kept under tight security in Kuala Lumpur
Raha Pourbakhsh
Members of Iran’s women’s national football team, after some delegation members sought asylum abroad, are being kept under tight security during a camp in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Iran International has learned.
Players who arrived on Wednesday are being kept at a hotel where journalists and media are not allowed to enter, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Some players had their mobile phones confiscated, while others were allowed to keep them only under the supervision of security personnel from the Iranian football federation.
Sources told Iran Internationalthat pressure on the players began in Tehran and has continued during the team’s camp ahead of the 2026 Asian Championship.
Mohammad Rahman Salari, a member of the Iranian Football Federation’s board, played a central role in enforcing the restrictions and repeatedly collected and inspected the phones of players and staff after the team’s first match.
Fatemeh Bodaghi, who is traveling with the delegation as manager of Iran’s women’s national team, was described by sourcesas acting on behalf of the federation’s security apparatus under the leadership of federation president Mehdi Taj, monitoring players’ social media accounts and reporting their activities to authorities in Tehran.
Sources alsosaid Zeinab Hosseinzadeh, the team’s physiotherapist, was among those involved in exerting pressure on players.
Farideh Shojaei, the women’s vice president of the football federation, is also accompanying the team. She previously said options for the team’s return to Iran amid US-Israeli airstrikes were being examined, including a possible land route through Turkey, after attempts to return via the United Arab Emirates did not succeed.
Players face pressure after anthem protest
The crisis surrounding the Iranian women’s national football team began on March 2, when the squad refused to sing the Iranian national anthem before their opening match against South Korea at the AFC Women's Asian Cup in Australia.
This silent protest, occurring shortly after the start of the Iran war and the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was immediately labeled an act of "wartime treason" by the state media. As the team progressed through the group stage, they were reportedly kept under strict surveillance by delegation minders, with international human rights groups and political figures warning that the athletes faced severe punishment, including the possibility of the death penalty, if they were forced to return to Tehran.
Six members of the delegation accepted humanitarian visas and remained in Australia to seek asylum, while the rest of the team boarded their flight to Malaysia.

Desertions, shortages and army-IRGC rift strain Iran’s military
Mar 12, 2026 at 09:55 GMT
Iran’s armed forces arefacing acute supply shortages, rising desertions and deepening friction between the regular army (Artesh) and the Revolutionary Guards, according to informed sources who described a military system under growing strain as the war intensifies.
Among themost serious allegations are reports that wounded army personnel have been denied assistance by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps(IRGC), that some frontline units are operating withminimal ammunition, food and drinking water, and that attempts to mobilize reserve forces have faltered.
Tensions between army and Revolutionary Guards
One of thesharpest points of friction appears to involve medical support for wounded soldiers.
Sources saidthat regular army units are suffering significant casualtiesbut that IRGC personnel have refused to transport injured army soldiers to hospitals despite having access to medical facilities.
According to the sources, Revolutionary Guards officials rejected repeated army requests for assistance,citing shortages of ambulances and blood supplies.
Therefusals have deepened anger and resentmentbetween personnel from the two forces, adding to long-standing institutional tensions between the regular army (Artesh) and the IRGC.
Frontline shortages
The reported tensions come alongside severe shortages affecting some frontline and field units of the Iranian army.
Sourcesdescribed worsening logistical conditions that have left troops struggling with limited ammunition and inadequate basic supplies.
In one example cited by the sources, some units wereissued only 20 bullets for every two Artesh soldiers, leaving troops with little capacity to respond to potential attacks.
Field units in several areas are also said to be operating without reliable access to drinking water or sufficient food supplies.
The harsh conditions and what some soldiers perceive as neglect by commanders have contributed towhat sources described as group desertions, with soldiers leaving bases and seeking refuge in nearby towns.
Strain extends to IRGC units
The strain is not limited to the regular army, according to the sources.
Even within IRGC missile units – traditionally among the best resourced parts of Iran’s military – there have been reports of communications equipment failures and shortages of food and other basic supplies.
Despite these problems, the sources said the command structure appears to beprioritizing the delivery of technical components needed to keep missile systems operational, rather than sending additional food rationsor individual equipment to personnel.
The accounts suggest commanders are focusing on maintaining strategic weapons capabilities while troops face deteriorating living conditions.
Reserve mobilization falters
Efforts to widen the manpower pool appear to have run into resistance as well.
Sources said attempts by the Revolutionary Guards to mobilize reserve forces earlier this week produced limited results.
Many of those summoned for service reportedlydid not report to military centers.Instead, some individuals used the situation to leave their areas and assist family members in moving toward border regions in hopes of leaving the country.
(This is sounds as bad as Ukraine.)

Israel says it killed two senior intelligence officials in Tehran strikes

Israel says it killed two senior intelligence officials in Tehran strikes
Israel’s military said on Saturday it carried out a targeted strike in Tehran on Friday that killed two senior intelligence officials from Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters (KACH), the unified combatant command headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces.
According to the Israeli Air Force, the operation targeted Abdollah Jalali-Nasab and Amir Shariat, described as senior figures in the intelligence organization of the KACH. The military said the two men were “eliminated” in what it called a precise strike inside the Iranian capital.
The two officials had recently been appointed after the killing of Saleh Asadi, the deputy intelligence chief, during the opening phase of Israel’s operation dubbed “Roaring Lion.”
Israeli officials said Jalali-Nasab and Shariat were considered high-ranking intelligence commanders and key figures within Iran’s intelligence community.

54 minutes ago
The administration of President Donald Trump has turned down attempts by Middle Eastern allies to launch diplomatic negotiationsaimed at ending the war with Iran, Reuters reported on Saturday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to three sources,several regional countries had sought to open a channel for ceasefire discussionsafter the conflict began two weeks ago with a large-scale US-Israeli air campaign against Iranian targets.
Iran, however, has also ruled out the possibility of a ceasefire for now. Two senior Iranian sources told Reuters that Tehran insists any negotiations can only begin after US and Israeli strikes stop.
