The good news is they are still talking. The US is talking to Russia about Ukraine. And the White House is talking to Zelensky too. But right now the two sides seem nowhere close to a breakthrough. Washington and Iran are exchanging letters. But there is little progress toward solving the Iranian nuclear issue. And as for the Houthis in Yemen, bombs are doing the talking. And since Hamas has been dragging its’ feet, there is no real conversation going on. The Israelis have gone on the offensive again.
UKRAINE UPDATE – The US brokered an understanding between Russia and Ukraine that they would not attack each others critical infrastructure. That didn’t last. Ukraine is striking Russian infrastructure and Russia is bombing Ukrainian civilian targets. Now, the White House is saying “Russia and Ukraine have both agreed to “eliminate the use of force” in the Black Sea.” In addition, NEWSWEEK reports that the US “will help restore Russia’s access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems.”[i] We will see.
Right now, the impasse stands. Zelensky has drawn a red line at Russia keeping any territory it controls. And Putin says they are not moving. Currently, the war is going in Russia’s favor. Then we have the Europeans cheering on the war. They are talking among themselves calling it a Coalition of the Willing, consisting of 31 countries. It is reported that a few of them have agreed to send a military “Reassurance Force” to Ukraine. One can surmise that France and the UK are two that would participate. They say they will proceed “with or without” American participation.[ii] Europe is preparing its’ citizens for conflict. “European Union bureaucrats are pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to prepare the kit for war and natural disasters.”[iii]
Here’s some last minute intel that came across my desk. First, there was a body exchange between Ukraine and Russia. This is something that has been going on throughout the two sides exchange dead bodies. Here are the details on the latest and they paint a picture of Kyiv’s dire situation on the ground. “Russia has returned 909 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers, most of whom fell in the Kursk region…. Russia received 43 bodies—35 soldiers and 8 civilians, who had been kidnapped by Ukrainian forces and died in captivity.”[iv] Secondly, Zelensky said US military aid was not a loan. “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine is not ready to recognise the US military aid provided in recent years as a debt within the framework of the mineral resources agreement with the United States.”[v]
ISRAEL – HAMAS – Hamas refused to release more hostages. So, Israel has been striking Hamas in Gaza. On Sunday, “the IDF and ISA conducted a targeted strike in the area of Khan Yunis, eliminating the terrorist Ismail Barhoum, head of Hamas’ finances and institutions in the terrorist organization’s political bureau, and the successor to Essam al-Da’alis, former head of the Hamas Government who was eliminated last week…., Barhoum was oversaw Hamas’ financial management in the Gaza Strip, channeling funds to Hamas’ military wing, financing and planning the execution of terror attacks against the State of Israel…. Barhoum was eliminated while he was operating within the “Nasser” Hospital, while cynically endangering the civilian population in the area. This is a yet another example of the way that the Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law while taking over civilian infrastructure in a manner that prevents the rehabilitation and livelihood of the Gazan population, and while brutally exploiting the civilian population as a human shield for its terror attacks.”[vi]
Hundreds of Palestinian demonstrators hit the streets in Gaza to protest AGAINST HAMAS. Calling for an end to the war, they were chanting, “Out, out, out, Hamas get out.”[vii] Not all were buying their authenticity. Amir Tsarfati opined that it cold have been staged as Hamas operatives dressed as civilians were seen among the protestors. Israel is preparing 5 divisions for a massive assault on Gaza to root out the Hamas terrorists.[viii]
IRAN & THE HOUTHIS – President Trump has demanded Iran stop its’ military nuclear program. Interestingly, the US is staging an enormous amount of air power on Diego Garcia, which could serve as a launch point against the Iranian nuclear facilities or Yemen, where the Houthis reside. There are reported to be 7 B2s on the island along with B52s and hundreds of fighter aircraft. The Iranian missile sites are buried in the mountains and the American force would need bunker-buster bombs to destroy them. The US has those. Iran, for their part has deployed around 250 Red Wasp speed boats to attack American ships in the Red Sea.
On Friday, March 28, 2025, Tsarfati reported that the US had indeed launched a massive attack against the Houthis. “Following last night’s most powerful US strikes on Houthi targets and the elimination of dozens of senior commanders – currently, only five members of their military leaders are left alive. After the attack: “Confirmation of the elimination of Houthi leader Abdul Hakim al-Khiwani, head of the militia’s Security and Intelligence Service, in U.S. airstrikes targeting the military intelligence department in the militia’s military command building in the Tahrir district of Sanaa.”[ix]
Meanwhile, the best that we can tell, Iran is refusing to negotiate with the US. Tehran has warned that any attack by the US or Israel would be followed by an Iranian response against all American bases in the entire region.
Jesus: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” (Matthew 24:4-6)
