So you admit it’s a war now? ;)

Institute for the Study of War doing it's daily thing on this one as well ... https://understandingwar.org/research/middle-east/iran-update-morning-special-report-march-4-2026/

Didn't think I did, but haven't dug toooooooooooo deep yet, either. Wonder how the Royalist Centralists feel about the "wanna run our own show" Kurds eventually wanting a piece of the action?

More Old Testament than New Testament, if one wants to use those markers these days.

Kurdish groups seem to have coalesced over the past little bit - except for a couple, with some claims of strikes starting the past weekend ... https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2026/03/kurdish-iranian-opposition-groups-say-iran-targeted-them-in-northern-iraq-claim-operations-in-iran.php...

Concur - and I'm on the side of "different folks, same bus & map" for now, anyway.

There’s a new boss in town under the same board of management, and no collapse of the old system, so we’ll have to agree to disagree on whether there’s a “new” regime or not.

Another quick factoid to throw out there: this is day four-ish of strikes against Iran, and it took about 3 weeks of strikes AND ground combat to bump Saddam & Co. out of power ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_invasion_of_Iraq ... and another 14-ish months with boots on the ground to...

Other outlets running with this from that source .... https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a70590863/jesus-trump-military-iran-war/ https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-troops-told-iran-war-anointed-jesus-bring-armageddon-watchdog-says...
