A British Special Forces base in northern Iraq repelled a record 14 Iranian suicide drones last night in a dramatic escalation of the conflict. Despite US President Donald Trump offering an olive branch to the Tehran regime, its military launched its biggest attack yet on UK troops. Confirmation has been sought from the Ministry of Defence regarding whether any British troops were wounded as the deadly drones rained down. The Special Forces base in Erbil, in the Kurdish-controlled sector of Northern Iraq, has been singled out by Iran over recent weeks. More than 50 Iranian drones have been aimed towards the multinational camp, though the figure could be much higher. Following previous attacks Italian troops withdrew from the base. Earlier this month an Iranian attack killed a French soldier who was conducting a counterterrorism training excercise, which French president Emmanuel Macron condemned as 'unacceptable'.

Egypt Today Magazine Egypt will impose earlier closing hours for shops, malls and restaurants for a month and is considering partial remote work for government employees, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Wednesday. The measures aim to reduce energy consumption, Madbouly said, amid the ongoing military escalation in the region. The US-Israeli war in Iran and the retaliatory Iranian strikes across the region since February 28 have disrupted energy flows, driven up oil and gas prices, and heightened instability in the Middle East. “We are facing a truly exceptional global crisis, and its repercussions will be severe for the entire world,” Madbouly said in a press conference after the weekly Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. He said Egypt’s natural gas import bill more than doubled from $560 million per month before the war to $1.65 billion currently. Rationalization Plan Madbouly announced that all shops, malls and restaurants will close at 9 pm, except on Thursdays and Fridays when …More
From Wisdom 2: 12-24, we find a great reflection for Lent and Easter and the world crisis we presently face. Let us lay traps for the upright man, since he annoys us and opposes our way of life, reproaches us for our sins against the Law, and accuses us of sins against our upbringing. He claims to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. We see him as a reproof to our way of thinking, the very sight of him weighs our spirits down; for his kind of life is not like other people's, and his ways are quite different. In his opinion we are counterfeit; he avoids our ways as he would filth; he proclaims the final end of the upright as blessed and boasts of having God for his father. Let us see if what he says is true, and test him to see what sort of end he will have. For if the upright man is God's son, God will help him and rescue him from the clutches of his enemies. Let us test him with cruelty and with torture, and thus explore this gentleness of his and put his …
Reinaldo Nann worked in Peru as a Fidei Donum missionary from 1991 in Lima, Trujillo, and Iquitos. In 2017, he was appointed bishop of the Prelature of Caraveli. He resigned in 2024 to marry a year later. Reinaldo Nann’s March 22 defense of Leo was supposed to calm the scandal. It did the opposite. On Religion Digital, he flatly acknowledged that the young Robert Prevost participated in the 1995 ecology and theology symposium, that the event included a ceremony to Mother Earth, and that Prevost knelt in that setting. He then described the scene as an interreligious act involving an offering to the earth and a dialogue with the earth. Even en.news, in summarizing his argument, captured the absurdity of the whole thing with a headline that boiled the defense down to this: Leo did not worship Pachamama, he merely offered to her. Religion Digital’s own author page says Nann was appointed bishop in 2017, resigned in 2024, and married in 2025. Read that again slowly. The “defense” does not …

A woman interrupted a Confirmation ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Navan, claiming she had a bomb. Priests and teachers calmly escorted her out, preventing panic among the large crowd of children and families. She was arrested at the scene and has since been charged, with a court appearance pending.
The Iranian Embassy in Afghanistan also claimed that Trump had “backed down” after Iran’s “firm warning” that it would retaliate against strikes on its energy infrastructure by attacking power plants across West Asia.
There hope yet for Trump maybe kill two birds with one stone Death grip of American Jewish Congress and Islamic dictatorships . That old saying give them enough rope they will hang themselves This war maybe a cleansing in disguise? Just a thought
Iran’s Foreign Ministry, however, has said in a statement to Mehr News that there is currently no dialogue between Tehran and Washington, adding that Trump’s remarks are an effort to “reduce energy prices and gain time to implement his military plans.”

Reinaldo Nann - a German-born Peruvian bishop (2017-2024) who civilly married a Peruvian woman in 2025 without being laicised - tried to defend Leo XIV from accusations of worshipping the Andean goddess Pachamama in 1995. On 22 March, Nann wrote on ReligionDigital.org that Leo XIV "is not an idolater, nor did he worship Pachamama". However, Nann admits that "the young missionary Robert Prevost did indeed participate in this 1995 ecology and theology congress, and within the context of a Mother Earth ceremony, he knelt". Nevertheless, Nann "cannot see any worship of Pachamama as a goddess". "We see an interreligious act where a representative of Andean culture makes an offering to the Earth — a gift and a dialogue with the Earth.' Other people, including Augustinian priests, attended this ceremony, which forms part of Andean culture. Respecting the Earth as a 'being with a soul' does not mean that it is not a creature of God. Pachamama is the earth, or rather the soul of the earth. …More
