On the night of April 22, 2026, eight Iranian women were scheduled to be executed. Their crime, according to the Islamic Republic of Iran, was participating in the January 2026 protests that swept through Tehran and dozens of other cities following the death of a 16-year-old girl in police custody. Some threw objects from rooftops. One helped injured demonstrators get medical care. One was arrested alongside her husband and two neighbors from the same apartment building. Iran's revolutionary courts sentenced them to death. The executions were planned for tonight. They didn't happen. And the reason they didn't happen is one of the stranger diplomatic stories of this already extraordinary war. The Women Their names deserve to be written down, because for weeks almost nobody was writing them down. Bita Hemmati is the most documented case. She was arrested alongside her husband, Mohammadreza Majidi Asl, and two neighbors — Behrouz Zamaninejad and Kourosh Zamaninejad — f...

It began with a hole blown in an engine room in the Gulf of Oman. It ended — for now — with a second ship boarded without a shot fired in the Bay of Bengal, thousands of miles away, two days later.

What Was on the Touska On April 19, 2026, the USS Spruance — an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer — intercepted the Iranian-flagged cargo vessel Touska in the Gulf of Oman. The ship was warned for six hours. Its crew ignored every warning. The Spruance then fired several rounds from its 5-inch Mark 45 gun directly into the Touska's engine room, disabling its propulsion. US Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary ...

Before dawn on March 1, 2026, while most of the Gulf was asleep, a swarm of Iranian Shahed drones crossed into the United Arab Emirates. They weren't headed for a military base. They weren't aimed at a port or an airstrip. They were looking for something far more valuable — and far more vulnerable. They found it. Two Amazon Web Services data centers in the UAE took direct hits. A third in Bahrain was damaged by a nearby strike. Structural damage. Fires. Power knocked out. Fire suppression systems flooded the hardware with water. Two of the three availability zones in AWS's entire Middle East region went dark simultaneously — something the system was never designed to survive. Banks went offline. Payments failed. Careem, the Gulf's dominant ride-hailing and delivery platform, went down. Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank — all reported disruptions. The UAE stock market halted. AWS quietly told its customers to migrate their workloads to othe...
