UPDATE: VIDEO ADDED
President Trump Delivers an Address to the Nation,
Apr. 1, 2026
Secretary of State Marco Rubio
appears on Fox News to discuss the various goals and objectives of the U.S.
military operation against Iran. As part of the interview Secretary Rubio
was asked about the strategic conflicts and hypocrisies now flowing from NATO
member states.
The U.S. supports our NATO posture
in Europe in part because it provides us with strategic military bases and
operations that are considered vital to our national interests. However,
as outlined in the Iran conflict, when we need to use those strategic bases the
NATO member states withdraw previous permissions. France has blocked us
from flying over their airspace, Spain and Italy have said the U.S. cannot use
our military bases on their soil for operations. The U.K has refused to
protect and/or escort their own energy assets.
The NATO membership is now a one-way
street where they demand our military protection, but Europe blocks us from
using our own military assets for our independent operations.
Europe, while hiding behind the NATO
protection skirt of the U.S, is simultaneously telling the U.S. what we can and
cannot do with our own military. Secretary Rubio and President Trump are
now confronting this very visible one-way benefit head on. WATCH (prompted).
Today NASA is once again sending
astronauts around the Moon for the first time in 50 years. NASA’s Artemis II
mission is scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center today. The two-hour

NASA's Artemis II Crew Launches To The Moon (Official
Broadcast)
Four astronauts — three from NASA and one from the CSA (Canadian Space
Agency) — make up the Artemis II crew:
– NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander
– NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot
– NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist
– Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission
specialist
After launching into space atop NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the
crew will journey around the Moon and back in their Orion spacecraft, named
Integrity, on an approximately 10-day mission. Artemis II will be the first
crewed flight test of SLS and Orion, testing the technologies we’ll need for
long-term lunar exploration and human missions to Mars.
The Iran war is ending on Trump's schedule,
backed by a pre-planned economic and energy strategy that is breaking the
transatlantic energy-control system while exposing states and nations that
rejected Drill, Baby, Drill.
IT'S ENDING: Trump's Iran Strategy Revealed — And
Britain's Energy Empire Goes With It
Barbara
Boyd argues the Iran war is being compressed toward a defined endpoint
determined by President Trump and key Arab allies in the Abraham Accords, who
want Iran no longer to pose a military threat after attacks on Gulf civilian
infrastructure. She says expectations of U.S. ground troops are misguided and
that a ceasefire is more likely, citing a Pakistan-China backchannel effort
tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s stated willingness to end the
conflict under conditions, and Trump’s public consideration of a ceasefire.
Boyd frames the conflict as an economic operation with military enforcement
aimed at breaking a transatlantic energy-control system: maximum-pressure financial
measures weakened Iran before fighting began, while U.S. agencies expanded
domestic energy output and Treasury managed oil-supply measures to prevent
market collapse. She contrasts Europe and U.S. “green mandate” states facing
high fuel costs with “drill” states she says are buffered.
