The Palestinian armed group Hamas has called on Iran to stop its attacks on Gulf states, in a rare appeal to its key ally.
In a statement, the Tehran-backed group urged its “brothers in Iran to avoid targeting neighbouring countries”, saying all regional nations should co-operate “to preserve the bonds of brotherhood”.
At the same time, Hamas, which runs Gaza, affirmed Tehran’s right to defend itself against attacks by the US and Israel, which are continuing to strike Iran.

Crude oil prices are behaving like the tide these days — moving up and down with unsettling force. Just this past week, prices jumped from roughly $78 on March 10 to above $95 by March 13.
For the food industry, this kind of volatility is far more troubling than a steady rise in energy costs. Gradual increases can be managed. Wild swings cannot.
The possibility of a quick resolution to the conflict is looking less likely for the president, but every way out will come at a cost
President Trump has already declared the war on Iran won. But this week he also said that it was still necessary to “finish the job”.
“We don’t want to leave early, do we?” he said. “We don’t want to go back every two years.”
Trump sometimes speaks as a president but often he speaks as a commentator on his own decisions.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has expanded its trade investigations to 60 countries, including Canada, in an effort to shore up the president’s tariff policies.
“We are trying to move very quickly,” United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC Friday. “We are trying to move in a matter of months.”
Greer’s office announced Wednesday that it was launching investigations of the European Union and a handful of other countries under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.
US approval of Britain has plummeted to a record low as Donald Trump supporters shun Sir Keir Starmer, new data shows.
The share of Americans who have a positive view of the UK has plummeted to 76pc this year from 84pc, according to polling by Gallup.
This is the lowest level since at least 1987 and the first time the share has ever fallen below 80pc. Over the last four decades, the number has averaged 88pc.
Doug Ford’s government is moving to exempt ministers and the premier from the public scrutiny of access to information laws.
In a controversial move Friday, Business Minister Stephen Crawford announced the third-term Progressive Conservatives were “modernizing Ontario’s privacy protections and bringing the province’s technology practices into the 21st century.”
But the amendments, which will be introduced after the legislature resumes March 23, mean “excluding the records of the premier, cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants and their offices under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).”
The boundary between digital satire and criminal conduct has become the focal point of a major legal dispute in Munich, as authorities conducted a morning raid on the home and parliamentary office of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) lawmaker René Dierkes.
Evidently it is about a tweet made two years ago by an individual no longer employed by the politician.
I learned a cool new word. Hexenjagd = witch hunt.

LifeSiteNews recently sat down for an interview with Jack Fonseca, director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition, the largest and most significant pro-life group in all of Canada. The group facilitates major pro-life events including Life Chain, 40 Days For Life, and the March For Life. In his position, Jack oversees the responsibility of electing pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Christian candidates across Canada. Jack is a devoted Catholic, father, and quietly one of Canada’s most important figures in the pro-life movement. In this discussion, Jack holds nothing back in discussing the evils of the left-wing abortion movement, the failure of the Conservative opposition, and the strategy behind turning Canada into a pro-life country once again.

OTTAWA — Canada lost 84,000 jobs last month as unemployment inches higher, the latest jobs report from the government says.
And the number of full-time workers experiencing chronic, long-term unemployment is now higher than during the pandemic.
Taking jobs away from urban youth isn’t enough. They need to get the rurals, too. https://t.co/Zcm4sdwY4H

It’s been nearly two weeks since the Trump administration launched a war against Iran, and President Trump is beginning to signal that he wants to wind it down. On Monday, he said “we’re way ahead of schedule,” and that the war would be over “very soon.” On Wednesday during a speech in Kentucky, Trump off-handedly declared “we’ve won,” and said it was all over “in the first hour.”
It’s understandable that Trump would be eyeing a quick end to the war, given spiking oil prices, growing public opposition to the war, and criticism from his MAGA base. But at this point it’s looking less and less like the president will simply be able to declare victory and walk away, however politically desirable that might be.
