Russian targeting of U.S. planes continues.  This has to stop.  I would imagine that Russian’s Yelabuga drone factory in Tatarstan is now being discussed in the Administration, green lighting Ukraine.  “Iranian missile, drones strike US military airbase in Saudi Arabia, 12 soldiers wounded – report,” JPost, 3-28-26.  The NYT story on this states “The combined missile and drone attack amounted to one of the most serious breaches of American air defenses in the course of the monthlong war with Iran. At least two KC-135 aerial refueling planes also suffered significant damage in the attack.”  “Strike on U.S. Base in Saudi Arabia Injures 12 American Troops, 2 Seriously, Officials Say,” NYT, 3-27-26.

But note this next story in light of what you’ve just read.  “European allies say Russia is helping Iran more than the U.S. has acknowledged, sources say,” CBS, 3-28-26.

“Iran warns neighbours not to let ‘enemies run the war’ from their land,” Al Jazeera, 3-28-26.  Is this warning solely from Iran, or is it also from Russia?

More missiles in the mix, more interceptors needed.  “Iran-backed Houthis join war with attack against Israel,” BBC, 3-28-26.

“Russia took satellite images of U.S. air base in days before Iranian attack, Ukraine’s Zelenskyy says,” NBC, 3-28-26.  These are before and after images, relayed to the Iranians.

What will the UN say?  “Iran’s Water Weapon Against the Gulf,” Project Syndicate, 3-28-26.

“Saudi pipeline to bypass Hormuz hits 7 million barrel goal,” Fortune, Bloomberg, 3-28-26.
