A missile rips through the night sky — then a blinding fireball engulfs the scene as the strike hits, all caught on video. The strike left around 75 people injured in Arad, including 10 who were seriously hurt and rushed to a hospital in Beersheba, according to The Jerusalem Post. Arad Mayor Yair Ma’ayan said that no one who was in a shelter was injured. Another missile struck the city of Dimona earlier on Saturday, injuring 33 people, according to first responders. Dimona is the location of the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center. Children were among the injured in the attacks. Attempted interceptions, according to the Israeli military, failed to stop the missiles. Videos circulating on social media appear to show the missiles making impact and the significant damage they caused.

President Donald Trump took no time taking shots at Robert Mueller, who died at the age of 81, his family announced on Saturday. “With deep sadness, we are sharing the news that Bob passed away last night. His family asks that their privacy be respected,” the family said in a statement. Mueller had reportedly been suffering from Parkinson’s disease, though an official cause of death was not immediately disclosed. But within minutes of the announcement, attention shifted from Mueller to President Trump’s reaction. In a blunt post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP”  The post immediately ignited outrage across media and political circles, with critics seizing on the tone and substance of the statement. MSNBC commentator David Corn framed Mueller as a principled figure undermined by Trump-era politics, “Robert Mueller was an honorable public servant,” Corn said. “He just never understood what he was up against with the Russia investigation: Trump’s virulent, unprincipled, and unrelenting disinformation campaign. RIP.” Robert Mueller was an honorable public servant. He just never understood what he was up against with the Russia investigation: Trump’s virulent, unprincipled, and unrelenting disinformation campaign. RIP — David Corn (@davidcorn.bsky.social) March 21, 2026 at 1:26 PM Former cable host Keith Olbermann responded even more aggressively. “Predictable really. Trump is the worst person in the history of the United States of America. Period,” Olbermann wrote, before adding in a follow-up post that Trump’s reaction suggested “even Trump knows Mueller DID NOT clear him.” “Trump is always classy,” said Tim O’Brien, senior editor of opinion for Bloomberg, adding, “Mueller was right and I still have a bromance with Putin.” Before rising through the ranks of federal law enforcement, Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, where he was awarded both a Bronze Star for valor and a Purple Heart after being wounded in combat. He later built a reputation as a steady institutional figure, ultimately being tapped by George W. Bush to lead the FBI just days before the September 11 attacks. Over a 12-year tenure, Mueller reshaped the bureau’s priorities toward counterterrorism and intelligence gathering in the wake of 9/11, serving under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Mueller returned to public life as special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election—an inquiry that would define his public legacy and fuel years of political division. His 448-page report, released in April 2019, detailed numerous contacts between individuals tied to the Trump campaign and Russian actors, but did not allege a criminal conspiracy. At the same time, the report outlined episodes in which Trump sought to influence or curtail the investigation, including efforts to assert control over it. Mueller ultimately declined to make a prosecutorial judgment on obstruction of justice, citing longstanding Department of Justice guidance against indicting a sitting president. Trump has maintained that the investigation fully exonerated him, a claim that remained a point of contention long after the report’s release. Mueller’s death, and the immediate reaction to it, underscored the extent to which his legacy remains deeply polarizing. For many Trump allies, he remains tied to an investigation they view as politically motivated and unfairly damaging. Trump’s response ensured that, even in death, Mueller’s name remains at the center of one of the most contentious chapters in modern American politics.

Hundreds of left-wing activists from the United States, Europe, and Latin America descended on Havana this weekend, meeting with communist officials, staying in upscale hotels, and traveling in air-conditioned buses as ordinary Cubans grapple with widespread blackouts and severe shortages of basic necessities. The “Nuestra América Convoy,” also called the “Our America Convoy to Cuba,” brought roughly 650 delegates from 33 countries and more than 100 organizations to the island, transporting about 20 tons of humanitarian aid, according to organizers. Delegates arrived by air from countries including Italy, France, Spain, and the United States, with additional participants traveling by sea in a flotilla from Mexico. Some activists arrived earlier in the week, delivering supplies to hospitals in advance of the main delegation. Some delegates were reportedly housed in high-end accommodations, including five-star hotels, while others were seen traveling in air-conditioned buses and attending official meetings with Miguel Díaz-Canel at government facilities. Large portions of the island have experienced prolonged blackouts, with outages in some areas stretching beyond 20 hours a day. The country’s fragile infrastructure has been pushed to the brink, leaving millions struggling to access food, water, and medical care. The Cuban government and activists have blamed U.S. energy restrictions, particularly moves by Donald Trump to target oil shipments, for exacerbating the island’s economic collapse. Organizers framed the convoy as a direct challenge to what they describe as “collective punishment.” “We cannot allow this,” said David Adler of Progressive International, one of the groups behind the effort. “We cannot normalize it.” Cuban officials echoed that message, with Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío insisting that the country’s political system is “not up for negotiation” in any talks with Washington. At the same time, critics argue the regime’s decades of centralized control and economic mismanagement have played a central role in the island’s long-running hardship. The optics of foreign activists enjoying stable electricity and modern amenities while locals endure daily deprivation have drawn sharp backlash, particularly from Cuban exiles. “This is a gigantic mockery of the entire Cuban people,” said Mayra Dominguez, a Cuban living in exile in the United States, to the New York Post. “The left visits Cuba as if it were a party at a zoo and they go to admire the misery from a luxury hotel.” Cuban artist Salomé García Bacallao, now based in Miami, similarly criticized the government for welcoming foreign delegations while many Cubans remain barred from returning home. The convoy includes a mix of activists, political figures, and organizations from across the global Left. Among them is leftist streamer Hasan Piker, who broadcast from Havana to his large social media following while promising to produce additional “content” from the trip. Other participants include international political figures such as Jeremy Corbyn and representatives from leftist parties across Latin America and Europe. Some of the groups involved, such as The People’s Forum and Code Pink, have previously drawn scrutiny from U.S. officials over alleged ties to foreign influence networks. The effort has also been linked to Mariela Castro, daughter of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, underscoring the close coordination between activists and the Cuban government. Organizers say the convoy delivered solar panels, food, and medical supplies, including cancer treatments, to help alleviate the island’s crisis. Cuba has also received aid shipments from countries including Mexico, Brazil, and China in recent weeks, as concerns grow over a potential humanitarian emergency. Still, questions remain about how the convoy’s aid will be distributed, and whether it will reach ordinary Cubans or be funneled through government-controlled channels. Such efforts often double as political theater, bolstering the regime’s narrative while doing little to address systemic issues. The images coming out of Havana this weekend highlight a jarring divide: foreign activists documenting their “solidarity” tour with reliable electricity, comfortable transport, and direct access to top officials. Meanwhile, millions of Cubans live through daily blackouts, food shortages, and a collapsing economy. For many watching, especially those forced to leave the island, the contrast is not just striking, it’s infuriating.

Iran launched missiles on Thursday at a U.S. and U.K. base in the Indian ocean, far beyond the range its leaders have long claimed to maintain, revealing that Tehran has been lying about its ballistic missile capabilities for quite some time. According to the Wall Street Journal, multiple U.S. officials have said Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a remote but highly strategic joint U.S.-U.K. base in the Indian Ocean. Neither missile struck the base, one reportedly failed mid-flight, while the other was engaged by a U.S. interceptor. The strike marked Iran’s first operational use of an intermediate-range ballistic missile and a clear attempt to project power well beyond the Middle East. The launch directly contradicts recent public statements from Iranian officials. Just weeks earlier on “Meet the Press,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed concerns about Iran’s missile range, calling them “misinformation” after President Trump announced that the development of longer-range missiles was one of the primary factors for U.S. intervention in the country. “We have intentionally limited ourselves to below 2,000 kilometers of range because we don’t want to be felt as a threat by anybody else in the world,” Araghchi said. Located roughly 2,500 miles (or 4,000 kilometers) from Iran, Diego Garcia sits well beyond the range Tehran has publicly claimed. Diego Garcia serves as a critical hub for U.S. military operations, hosting strategic bombers, nuclear submarines, and naval assets central to projecting power across the Middle East and Indo-Pacific. Farzin Nadimi, an Iran expert with the Washington Institute, noted that while Iran’s missile development is often framed around threats to Europe, the ability to strike Diego Garcia is likely the more immediate strategic goal. “If they have sufficient range to reach Europe, they have sufficient range to reach Diego Garcia,” Nadimi said. “But I think Diego Garcia is more critical because of the location.” Iran may have achieved the longer range by modifying existing missile systems most likely by reducing payload weight to increase distance. That kind of engineering is complex and typically requires extensive preparation, suggesting the capability may have been in development long before the current conflict. “Iran likely prepared long in advance,” Nadimi said, noting that such modifications would be difficult to execute under sustained military pressure. Groups like the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control’s Iran Watch have speculated Iran may have already possessed missiles capable of reaching up to 2,500 miles, far beyond its stated limits. Following the strike, the United Kingdom moved to expand U.S. access to its regional military bases, particularly for operations tied to the Strait of Hormuz, signaling concern that the conflict could widen. “The UK remains committed to defending our people, our interests and our allies,” the government said in a statement. For now, the missiles did not hit their target, but the message appears to have landed. For years, Iran has framed its missile program as limited, defensive, and regionally contained, but through the undisclosed development, Tehran has now demonstrated a willingness, and an ability, to reach far beyond its stated boundaries, and in doing so, it has shifted the strategic calculus for both Washington and its allies.

Former FBI director Robert Mueller, whose investigation into President Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign made him a Democratic hero, is dead at 81. As special counsel, Mueller led the probe into whether there was Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The investigation, which took place during Trump’s first term, earned Mueller praise from Trump’s enemies, and scorn from the president. “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday.Muller had Parkinson’s disease, the New York Times reported in August. He served as the head of the FBI during under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama from 2001-2013. This is a developing story, please refresh the page for updates.
