Whitney Webb joins Jimmy to explain her deep skepticism of Joe Kent, the former CIA counterterrorism official who resigned over the Iran war, warning that he may be part of a long-game psy-op to create a “domestic terrorist” profile that the national security state can later target. She connects this sentiment to the first Trump administration’s DHS hearings where officials explicitly defined anti-Semitic right-leaning populists as the emerging domestic terror threat—a classification that could now be triggered by conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
Webb argues that the same infrastructure built for the War on Terror abroad is now being turned inward, and that figures like Kent may be engineered to “signal boost” anti-Zionist sentiment to create a category of Americans the government can later round up as subversives. She urges critical thinking and vigilance, noting that the “MAGA civil war” may be deliberately orchestrated to provide pretext for domestic surveillance expansion.
Israel has been fighting a multi-front war since 2023, with the backbone of its forces “based on its reserve battalions, on people that are civilians and that are called by the army to serve,” former IOF officer Guy Poran told Sputnik, commenting on a top general’s warning that the IOF risks “collapsing in on itself” from operational strain.
“Under normal circumstances, they serve 30 days or 45 days a year. Now, because of the GENOCIDE in Gaza” and other war crimes Israel has found itself in, “many of those reserve battalions, the fighting units of the IOF, have been called up for hundreds of days,” Poran, an ex-IAF helicopter pilot-turned peace activist, explained.
Many soldiers have businesses that are falling apart, problems with family life, etc.
On top of that, there is the growing realization in society that these conflicts are political, and not existential, in nature, Poran says.
The Iranian armed forces attacked a US Navy support ship in the port of Salalah in Oman at a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from the coast of the Islamic Republic, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for the Khatam Al-Anbiya central headquarters of the Iranian military command, said on Saturday.
He also said that the number of US refueling aircraft destroyed in the attack on the US military base Prince Sultan in Saudi Arabia has increased to two.
Earlier in the day, Zolfaghari said that the Iranian armed forces had destroyed one tanker aircraft and damaged three more aircraft as a result of a strike on the US Prince Sultan military base.
The Iranian army said on Saturday that it had attacked an ELTA radar in the port of Haifa in northern Israel and fuel storage facilities at Ben Gurion airport with drones.
Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, said on Saturday that it had launched a missile attack on targets in Israel in support of Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, which are being attacked by the United States and Israel.
The Yemeni armed forces launched ballistic missiles at important Israeli military targets in the south of occupied Palestine,” the statement read.
In an official statement, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said the movement is prepared to join the war on Iran’s side if the situation continues to escalate.
In a statement, IRGC’s Public Relations Department said the operation was a retaliation for recent attacks on Iranian non-military industries, as part of the 85th wave of Operation True Promise 4.
According to the statement, IRGC Navy and Aerospace Force personnel carried out successive barrages of missile and drone attacks, destroying parts of several industrial facilities belonging to the aggressor American-Zionist enemy in occupied territories and elsewhere.
During the operation, the IRGC reported that enemy air forces attempted to target their launch platforms using fighter jets and drones. It added that the elite force’s air defense units shot down an American MQ-9 unmanned strategic aircraft over Shiraz.
Iran’s IRGC says that at least 500 US troops have been killed or injured during Iranian retaliatory strikes targeting regional hideouts.

Additionally, an American F-16 fighter jet was struck in southern Fars Province and was destroyed before landing at an airfield in Saudi Arabia.
The Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said in a statement late on Friday that “In the continuation of the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, the IRGC Navy carried out precise multiple attacks against the Zionist-American terrorists in the port of Al-Shuwaikh and also the beaches and port of Dubai, hitting the depressed American soldiers and their tactical equipment.”
“In this operation, which was carried out using ballistic missiles and Qadr 380 cruise missiles, 6 American landing craft utility (LCU) were hit in the port of Al-Shuwaikh,” the statement said, adding that based on the field reports, 3 of these combat ships sank after being hit and the rest are burning.
It said that at the same time, drone operations were carried out against the gathering centers of the terrorist personnel of the American drone unit on the beach and one of the hotels in Dubai, using suicide drones, and these centers were precisely hit.
“During this operation, in addition to the sinking of tactical vessels, a large number of American terrorists were also killed,” the statement added.
In a letter for UN Secretary-General António Guterres and President of the UN Security Council Michael G. Waltz on March 27, Saeed Iravani transmitted a letter from Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad about the catastrophic environmental, public health, food security, and cultural heritage impacts of the attacks by the Israeli regime and the United States on the oil reservoirs of Iran.
A number of relevant bodies in Iran, including the Parliament, are urgently reviewing the issue of withdrawal from the NPT. It is reportedly becoming firmly established in Iran that there is no justification for remaining in the NPT.
In a statement issued on Saturday, March 28, the Armed Forces of Yemen declared that they have carried out their first military operation by firing ballistic missiles at the sensitive military targets of the Zionist regime in southern occupied Palestine.
The statement indicated that this action was in line with Yemen’s previous announcement about direct military intervention in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.
The statement also affirmed that Yemen’s operations would continue until the declared objectives are achieved and until the aggression ceases on all fronts of resistance.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that a warehouse storing Ukrainian anti-drone systems was destroyed in a missile operation in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters of Iran said on Saturday that, simultaneously with targeting the hideouts of American commanders and soldiers in Dubai, which inflicted heavy casualties on them, a warehouse in Dubai storing anti-drone systems related to Ukraine, intended to assist the US military, was targeted by a hybrid operation of the IRGC Aerospace Force and Navy and was destroyed. He noted that 21 Ukrainians were also present at that location.
Fighters from the anti-terror group Islamic Resistance in Iraq have conducted a drone strike against an installation operated by US occupation forces in Syria’s southwestern al-Tanf region, close to the borders with Iraq and Jordan.
Back on March 20, Iraqi resistance groups destroyed three critical sites at the US-run Harir base in Erbil — the capital of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, sharply reducing American military activities there.
“We had previously warned that the invading American army, due to the decisive assault of the Armed Forces (of Iran) and the destruction of their bases in the region, has fled and hidden outside their bases,” the Iranian spokesman said in a statement on Saturday, March 28.
“In recent hours, two of their hideouts were identified, with more than 400 individuals in the first hideout and more than 100 individuals in the second hideout in Dubai, both of which were targeted by precision missiles and drones of the valiant Aerospace Force and Navy of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, resulting in very heavy casualties for them,” he added.
According to the spokesperson, ambulances have been busy transporting the dead and wounded American commanders and soldiers for hours.
“Trump and the commanders of the American army must fully understand that the region will turn into a graveyard for American soldiers…”
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army announced on Saturday that since the early hours of today, the strategic electronic warfare and radar center “ELTA”, part of the Zionist regime’s aerospace group in the port of Haifa, and the fuel storage facilities at Ben Gurion Airport have been targeted by the powerful drone strikes of the Iranian Army.
According to the statement, ELTA munitions industries, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), is one of the leading and most important centers in the field of electronic warfare, producing various types of phased-array radars, early warning systems, airborne systems, and satellite guidance and monitoring equipment.
The Iranian Army stated that damage to this Israeli center has a direct impact on reducing the capability to intercept missiles and drones launched by Iran and the enemy’s electronic warfare support operations, thereby increasing the capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in standoff operations against enemy.
“I tell the countries in the region that if you seek development and security, do not allow our enemies to conduct the war from your country,” Pezeshkian added.
“Israel has hit 2 of Iran’s largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the US,” Araqchi said.
“Attack contradicts POTUS extended deadline for diplomacy,” he added.
“Iran will exact HEAVY price for Israeli crimes,” the top Iranian diplomat warned.
In a telephone conversation on Friday, Araqchi and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov discussed regional developments and the consequences of the ongoing military aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran.
Araqchi noted the efforts of a number of friendly neighboring countries to halt the conflict, underscoring that the fundamental views of Iran regarding the defense of its national rights and interests are completely clear.
Araqchi emphasized that preventing the passage of vessels belonging to aggressors and their allies through the Hormuz Strait is Iran’s legal right as a coastal state, and relevant authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran are fully aware of their responsibilities to ensure navigation security in this waterway.
Araqchi also explained that the movement of vessels belonging to other countries through the Strait of Hormuz is coordinated with the relevant Iranian authorities.

• Targeted multiple assets of American and Israeli military occupation forces in Jordan using appropriate weapons.
Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA) says its key production site in Abu Dhabi suffered significant damage following Iranian missile and drone strikes, with several employees injured.
The strikes came after the US-Israeli aggression against parts of Iran’s industrial infrastructure. Iranian officials had warned the attacks would be met with a firm response to the criminal enemy.
Top officials at the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Iran’s national broadcaster, have strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s killing of two prominent Lebanese journalists while in the line of duty on Saturday.
War today is not confined to a single battlefield. It is being waged across multiple fronts of the wider Muslim world – Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, and now Iran.
These are not isolated confrontations, but interconnected theatres within a broader geopolitical struggle over power, resources, and ideological dominance.
To understand the present escalation against the Islamic Republic of Iran, one must situate it within a longer historical arc – a one defined by intervention, resistance, and the contest over sovereignty in the Muslim world.
1979: The turning point
The modern phase of confrontation with Iran began with the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The popular revolution overthrew the Shah, a monarch whose rule had been secured through foreign intervention. In 1953, a CIA-engineered coup removed the democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, after he nationalized the country’s oil industry, previously dominated by British interests.
Since the launch of the American-Israeli military aggression against Iran on February 28, 2026, a parallel shadow war has emerged across the Persian Gulf, one fought not with conventional arsenal but with cloned weapons designed to deceive.
As Iranian armed forces continue to conduct retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4 against American and Israeli assets, a sophisticated network involving the United States, the Israeli regime, and now Ukraine has deployed hundreds of replica Shahed-136 attack drones against the infrastructure of Persian Gulf states.
These attacks, confirmed by multiple Iranian military sources and documented through recovered wreckage, represent a calculated strategy to fracture regional unity and draw Iran’s neighbors into direct confrontation with the Islamic Republic.
With the aggression now in its 29th day, evidence points to an unprecedented false-flag campaign that weaponizes the very technology Iran pioneered, turning the Shahed drone’s reputation against its creators in a cynical bid to remake the region’s geopolitical landscape.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has denounced a US-Israeli drone strike on the residence of the president of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, describing the assassination attempt as “a clear act of terrorism.”
According to security sources, a drone attack targeted Kurdish President Nechirvan Barzani’s home in Duhok, the northwestern part of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, on Saturday.
Citing these sources, Reuters reported that air defenses also shot down a drone near a Peshmerga base in the region.
In the wake of the attack, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani spoke with Barzani by phone, his office said. He also ordered an investigation into the drone strike.
In its statement, the IRGC described the drone attack on Barzani’s residence as “a clear example of a terrorist act by aggressor enemies.”
The aggression, it said, follows a pattern of “cowardly assassinations” of senior Iranian officials by the US and Israel.
The IRGC added that these “malicious efforts” by the two enemies are aimed at undermining peace, stability, and regional cooperation between the Kurdistan Region and neighboring countries.
A young Bahraini man died in custody after being subjected to brutal torture when Al Khalifa regime agents failed to extract false confessions from him regarding Iran, according to local sources.
Sayed Mohammed Al-Mousawi, a resident of Muharraq Island, was arrested last week while passing through a checkpoint with several other young men, according to Bahrain’s Al-Wefaq opposition society. No valid reason was provided for the detention at the time.
Just days later, on Friday, his tortured body was handed over to his family by Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior, according to local sources.
The Iranian National Football Team paid tribute to the victims of a suspected US strike on a girls’ school in the city of Minab during a match in Türkiye.
Zionist whore, mock “president” rapist peodphile Trump has boasted that Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto leader, is “kissing my ass” and must “be nice” to the US.
Washington colluded with Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria to topple Bashar Assad, Joe Kent has said
The US “worked directly with Al-Qaeda” and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) to topple former President Bashar Assad and destroy Syria, US President Donald Trump’s former counterterrorism chief, Joe Kent, has said.
Kent, who resigned as head of the US National Counterterrorism Center in protest of the US-Israeli war against Iran, made the remarks in an interview with MintPress News on Friday.
The former senior official reiterated his take on the Iran conflict as the latest in a series of wars waged by the US on behalf of Israel, preceded by the Second Iraq War and the Syrian Civil War, in which Washington actively backed terrorist groups, he said.
“We came in and we said: We’re going to work with the Israelis, but we’re also going to have to work heavily with the Sunni population on the ground in Syria to create an uprising,” he added.
“And that’s where ISIS came from. We worked directly with Al-Qaeda; Hillary Clinton’s emails confirm this. The operations that we were doing to support the so-called Free Syrian Army, and there were some moderates there, but the most effective guys initially were Al-Qaeda and then eventually ISIS.”
S ultimately “got out of control,” and the US “had to go back and put out once again the brush fire that we had started,” Kent said, referring to the US occupation of parts of Syria on the pretext of fighting terrorism.
The efforts to destroy Syria ultimately resulted in the fall of the Assad government in late 2024 and the Islamist takeover led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a rebranded Al-Qaeda offshoot.
Kent lashed out at the former leader of the HTS and Syrian interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, pointing to his long record of terrorism – which did not prevent the Trump administration from recognizing his government as legitimate.
“We had him in jail; [he] joined ISIS, broke off from ISIS, hand-selected by Bin Laden’s right-hand man, Ayman Zawahiri, to lead Nusra, and then they rebranded,” Kent said, adding that the “number one way to fool Americans as a jihadist is just put on a suit.”

War against Iran part of broader Western war on interconnected resistance fronts
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/27/765944/war-iran-part-broader-western-onslaught-interconnected-resistance-fronts
War today is not confined to a single battlefield. It is being waged across multiple fronts of the wider Muslim world – Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, and now Iran.
These are not isolated confrontations, but interconnected theatres within a broader geopolitical struggle over power, resources, and ideological dominance.
To understand the present escalation against the Islamic Republic of Iran, one must situate it within a longer historical arc – a one defined by intervention, resistance, and the contest over sovereignty in the Muslim world.
1979: The turning point
The modern phase of confrontation with Iran began with the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The popular revolution overthrew the Shah, a monarch whose rule had been secured through foreign intervention. In 1953, a CIA-engineered coup removed the democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, after he nationalized the country’s oil industry, previously dominated by British interests.
US-Israel-Ukraine axis deploys replica Shahed drones to drag Iran’s neighbors into war
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/28/765964/us-israel-ukraine-deploys-replica-shahed-drones-drag-iran-neighors-war
Since the launch of the American-Israeli military aggression against Iran on February 28, 2026, a parallel shadow war has emerged across the Persian Gulf, one fought not with conventional arsenal but with cloned weapons designed to deceive.
As Iranian armed forces continue to conduct retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4 against American and Israeli assets, a sophisticated network involving the United States, the Israeli regime, and now Ukraine has deployed hundreds of replica Shahed-136 attack drones against the infrastructure of Persian Gulf states.
These attacks, confirmed by multiple Iranian military sources and documented through recovered wreckage, represent a calculated strategy to fracture regional unity and draw Iran’s neighbors into direct confrontation with the Islamic Republic.
With the aggression now in its 29th day, evidence points to an unprecedented false-flag campaign that weaponizes the very technology Iran pioneered, turning the Shahed drone’s reputation against its creators in a cynical bid to remake the region’s geopolitical landscape.
Drone attack on residence of Iraqi Kurdistan president ‘clear act of terrorism’: IRGC
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/28/765992/Drone-attack-on-residence-of-Iraqi-Kurdistan-president-‘clear-act-of-terrorism’–IRGC
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has denounced a US-Israeli drone strike on the residence of the president of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, describing the assassination attempt as “a clear act of terrorism.”
According to security sources, a drone attack targeted Kurdish President Nechirvan Barzani’s home in Duhok, the northwestern part of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, on Saturday.
Citing these sources, Reuters reported that air defenses also shot down a drone near a Peshmerga base in the region.
In the wake of the attack, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani spoke with Barzani by phone, his office said. He also ordered an investigation into the drone strike.
In its statement, the IRGC described the drone attack on Barzani’s residence as “a clear example of a terrorist act by aggressor enemies.”
The aggression, it said, follows a pattern of “cowardly assassinations” of senior Iranian officials by the US and Israel.
The IRGC added that these “malicious efforts” by the two enemies are aimed at undermining peace, stability, and regional cooperation between the Kurdistan Region and neighboring countries.

US ‘worked directly’ with terrorists in Syria on Israel’s behalf – Trump’s ex-counterterrorism chief
https://www.rt.com/news/636560-us-syria-isis-kent/
Washington colluded with Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria to topple Bashar Assad, Joe Kent has said
The US “worked directly with Al-Qaeda” and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) to topple former President Bashar Assad and destroy Syria, US President Donald Trump’s former counterterrorism chief, Joe Kent, has said.
Kent, who resigned as head of the US National Counterterrorism Center in protest of the US-Israeli war against Iran, made the remarks in an interview with MintPress News on Friday.
The former senior official reiterated his take on the Iran conflict as the latest in a series of wars waged by the US on behalf of Israel, preceded by the Second Iraq War and the Syrian Civil War, in which Washington actively backed terrorist groups, he said.
“We came in and we said: We’re going to work with the Israelis, but we’re also going to have to work heavily with the Sunni population on the ground in Syria to create an uprising,” he added.
“And that’s where ISIS came from. We worked directly with Al-Qaeda; Hillary Clinton’s emails confirm this. The operations that we were doing to support the so-called Free Syrian Army, and there were some moderates there, but the most effective guys initially were Al-Qaeda and then eventually ISIS.”
S ultimately “got out of control,” and the US “had to go back and put out once again the brush fire that we had started,” Kent said, referring to the US occupation of parts of Syria on the pretext of fighting terrorism.
The efforts to destroy Syria ultimately resulted in the fall of the Assad government in late 2024 and the Islamist takeover led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a rebranded Al-Qaeda offshoot.
Kent lashed out at the former leader of the HTS and Syrian interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, pointing to his long record of terrorism – which did not prevent the Trump administration from recognizing his government as legitimate.
“We had him in jail; [he] joined ISIS, broke off from ISIS, hand-selected by Bin Laden’s right-hand man, Ayman Zawahiri, to lead Nusra, and then they rebranded,” Kent said, adding that the “number one way to fool Americans as a jihadist is just put on a suit.”
