🪐 The asteroid 3122 Florence, stretching about 4.5 kilometers wide, made a notable close pass by Earth in 2017, coming within just 7 million kilometers—close in cosmic terms. Florence is classified as a "potentially hazardous asteroid," meaning its orbit brings it near our planet and it is large enough to cause major regional damage if it ever struck, so astronomers closely monitor its future movements. ✨

🪐 The asteroid 2005 YU55, a dark, nearly spherical space rock about 400 meters across, passed closer to Earth than the Moon in November 2011. Classified as a near-Earth asteroid, its flyby at just 324,600 kilometers gave scientists a rare chance to study a sizable object that, if on a collision course, could have caused devastating regional damage. ✨

🪐 The asteroid (234) Barbara is a main-belt asteroid with a unique, highly irregular shape that may be the result of an ancient cosmic collision. At over 45 kilometers wide, Barbara is notable because radar observations revealed its silhouette resembles two objects fused together, an unusual configuration that would cause catastrophic damage if an object like this ever entered a path toward Earth. ✨

Qatar, which shares the gasfield with Iran, “was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it [the attack], nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen”, Trump said, adding that Israel would not attack the gasfield again unless Iran attacked Qatari gas facilities again.
If Tehran chose to retaliate, Trump said: “The United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before.”
Trump’s efforts to deescalate the attacks on energy infrastructure, by threatening to destroy South Pars, did not reassure global markets as concern mounts over the economic impact of the conflict.
Saudi Arabia was also targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles on Wednesday. Any trust with Tehran had been shattered, its foreign minister said. “This pressure from Iran will backfire politically and morally and certainly we reserve the right to take military actions if deemed necessary,” Prince Faisal bin Farhan told a news conference.
A spokesperson for the Qatari foreign ministry described the Israeli attack on South Pars as “dangerous” and “irresponsible”, urging all sides not to target energy facilities.
The UAE foreign ministry also described the move as a “dangerous escalation”, warning: “Targeting energy infrastructure poses a direct threat to global energy security.”
The Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil supplies and seaborne gas tankers usually pass, meanwhile remains all but closed. Trump’s efforts to build a multinational naval force to reopen the key waterway have yet to bear fruit.
A fire broke out on a vessel near the strait after it was hit by a projectile, the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency said, citing a report late on Wednesday. The ship was off the coast of the UAE.
Macron spoke with Trump and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, emir of Qatar, after Wednesday’s strikes on gas facilities. Calling for a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, Macron said:
“Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation.”
On another day of violence in the Middle East, the Palestinian Red Crescent said three Palestinian women were killed in an Iranian missile attack in the occupied West Bank late on Wednesday – the first deadly Iranian strike there, and the first to kill Palestinians since the start of the war.
The European Union meanwhile urged Israel to “cease its operations” in Lebanon, which French foreign minister Barrot will visit on Thursday.
Lebanon was drawn into the crisis earlier this month, when Hezbollah fighters launched rockets at Israel.
Israel retaliated with strikes that have killed at least 968 people, according to Lebanese authorities, and displaced over a million.
More than a week has passed since Trump first suggested the war could be over “very soon”. With no end in sight, some companies are bracing for at least another month of severe disruption.
The Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific suspended flights to and from Dubai and Riyadh until the end of April on Thursday, a move it attributed to “the developing situation in the Middle East”.

Trump Is Threatening to Blow Up the World’s Largest Gasfield
🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣
Trump threatened to “massively blow up” the world’s largest gasfield after Israeli strikes on the Iranian site prompted Tehran to step up attacks on energy facilities across the Middle East.
Israel’s decision to target the South Pars gasfield on Wednesday marked a major escalation of the war, heightening fears of significant disruption to international energy supplies.
Iran promptly retaliated with fresh attacks across the region, including on Qatari liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities – infuriating the US president.
Oil and European natural gas prices rose sharply, with Brent crude – the international benchmark for oil – up 6% at $114 a barrel. Gas prices jumped 23%. Leading Asian stock markets came under pressure, with the Nikkei 225 falling 3.4% in Japan.
The US “knew nothing” of the Israeli attack on South Pars, Trump claimed on social media on Wednesday night. US media reported earlier that the US was aware of the attack. The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed US officials, that the president approved of it, in a bid to pressure Tehran into unblocking the strait of Hormuz.
Authorities in Abu Dhabi said it had been forced to shut down operations at its Habshan gas facility and Bab field because of Iranian attacks that it called a “dangerous escalation” of the war.
Ras Laffan in Qatar, the site of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas hub, has now suffered “extensive damage” after strikes by Iran, the state-run QatarEnergy giant said. Early on Thursday, QatarEnergy reported “sizeable fires” and significant damage at several LNG facilities at the hub. The Qatari interior ministry later said that all fires had been contained.
The strike on South Pars amounted to the first targeted attacks on Iranian fossil fuel production since the US and Israel launched the conflict, almost three weeks ago.

Several lawyers have challenged the legal basis for the administration’s wide-ranging explanations for waging war.
“Those are military policy objectives,” said Wells Dixon, a senior attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights after reviewing Trump’s rationale.
“They are not a legal basis to launch an armed attack against another country.”
Marko Milanovic, a professor of International law at the University of Reading, agreed that Iran may pose a threat, but said that there are many ways to respond. “Using force would require a basis in self defense,” he said.
The Trump administration has previously touted its success in “obliterating” Iran’s nuclear facilities.
But Trump revived the specter of an Iranian threat in his State of the Union address, saying that Iran was “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.”
Trump has not provided public evidence of this threat.
Rubio’s statements invoked two legal concepts that could possibly justify waging war abroad – including the concept of an “imminent threat” posed to American lives, and the concept of launching preemptive strikes as an act of self defense.
There are carve outs within international law that permit states to act in their own self defense. And the concept of an “imminent threat” is measured against evidence of a clear, visible and impending risk.
“For something to be lawful self defense, it has to be necessary – in the sense that there’s no alternative,” said Brian Finucane, a former state department lawyer.
“That’s not the situation here. There was another option: the US could have restrained Israel from attacking in the first place.”
Senator Tim Kaine said he has supported US efforts to defend Israel during previous Iranian attacks, “but that’s a very different matter than the US engaging in the affirmative initiation of war,” he said.
“We shouldn’t be waging an affirmative war on behalf of any nation in the world, no matter how close we are,” Kaine said.
After the Vietnam war, the US adopted new constitutional provisions that say the president should try to consult with members of Congress before committing troops to hostilities.
Last week, Rubio only briefed the Gang of Eight, a group of bipartisan lawmakers privy to information on covert actions and classified intelligence, about US plans to attack Iran.
This week’s war powers vote may shape how Trump proceeds with military action against Iran, even if it ultimately cannot sustain enough support to override a likely veto from Trump.

Trump Has Accelerated Its Drive To Break Free From Europe and His Tantrums
🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣
The Trump administration is waging an illegal war on Iran, one that defies both the US constitution and international armed conflict laws, according to several legal scholars and bipartisan lawmakers.
The Senate will vote Wednesday on whether to halt Donald Trump’s military offensive, which he launched on 28 February.
Hundreds of people, including six US personnel, have been killed in a conflict that has now expanded to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Israel and the Persian Gulf.
The Trump administration has offered shifting explanations for its decision to launch attacks on Iran, at times describing a more pre-emptive war of choice designed to degrade Iran’s offensive and nuclear capabilities.
The cause is that the Iranians weren’t willing to renounce their nuclear ambitions, or that the US joined the attack to protect American interests after Israel had committed to launching a military offensive of its own.
“An Iranian regime armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would be a dire threat to every American,” the president said in his first public remarks from Washington on Monday.
“We cannot allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess such weapons.”
Trump has also described broader wartime objectives, including eliminating threats posed by the Iranian regime, as well as their regional proxy forces.
He has not set out a clear timeline for achieving his various goals.
Rubio offered a slightly different explanation, saying that the White House was compelled to launch strikes on Iran because its close ally Israel was determined to act, and, he told lawmakers Monday evening, the administration believed that any Israeli action would precipitate an attack on American forces.
“It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone – the United States or Israel or anyone – they were going to respond, and respond against the United States,” Rubio told reporters gathered at the Capitol.

The White House has repeatedly rejected claims that the president’s actions amount to authoritarianism, dismissing such criticism as “deeply unserious” and rooted in what the president calls “Trump derangement syndrome”.
When pressed, the president has said he was handed a broad mandate to restore “law and order,” secure elections and dismantle what he has described as a corrupt federal bureaucracy.
“Here’s the reality: President Trump was resoundingly reelected by the American people based on his America First agenda,” White House spokesperson, Abigail Jackson, said in a statement.
“Now, he’s delivering on all his campaign promises – that’s democracy in action.”
While at the White House, Musk took a chainsaw to the federal government, firing thousands of workers in sweeping, indiscriminate cuts that were quickly challenged in court.
Estimates suggest more than 300,000 federal workers left in the Trump-era exodus, draining the government of top scientists, researchers and analysts.
Traditionally autocratic regimes expand social services for supporters as a way to buy loyalty, while stripping away their political rights, Ben-Ghiat said: “that’s how they get so many people to go along and look the other way”.
But Trump, she said, has diverged from that model: rather than shoring up the social safety net, his administration, abetted by Congressional Republicans, has moved to “kneecap” public health and social programs, including child care benefits – cuts Democrats plan to foreground in this year’s midterm elections.
Last year, millions joined No Kings rallies to denounce a president they say has wielded power like a monarch.
At the ballot box, Democrats won successive victories in the 2025 off-year elections, and are well positioned to retake the House – and possibly the Senate – in the 2026 midterms.
Trump, meanwhile, remains unpopular nationally – a vulnerability for his party heading into this year’s elections. A CNN poll found that a majority of Americans believe Trump’s policies have worsened economic conditions in the country, and 58% call his first year a failure.
Trump’s fragile political standing is one indication that the administration’s narrative is increasingly at “odds with what people see – their lived experience,” Ben-Ghiat said. The more that gap widens, she said, “the more people will wake up”.
She pointed to Minneapolis, where Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act as a response to protests against the killing of a 37-year-old US citizen by a federal immigration officer.
Instead of retreating, hundreds of Minnesotans registered for training to become “observers” of enforcement activity.

Trump's First Year:
Broken NATO, Ukraine at War, Political Ribaldry, the Threat to Greenland
🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣
A hundred and sixty five days after Trump placed his hand on the Bible and completed an extraordinary return to power, many historians, scholars and experts say his presidency has pushed American democracy to the brink – or beyond it.
In 2025, the United States ceased to be a full democracy in the way that Canada, Germany or even Argentina are democracies,” Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, the prominent Harvard political scientists and authors of How Democracies Die, and the University of Toronto professor Lucan Way, wrote in Foreign Affairs last month.
They argued that the US under Trump had “descended into competitive authoritarianism”, a system in which elections are held but the ruling party abuses power to stifle dissent and tilt the playing field in its favor.
Since Trump’s first term, scholars have warned that it can happen here. But many now say this moment is different – not only because Trump’s approach is more methodical and his desire for vengeance more pronounced, but because he now faces far fewer internal constraints.
The president’s Republican critics have mostly been driven from public office and those who remain say they fear retaliation for speaking out.
Trump has repeatedly circumvented the GOP-controlled Congress, on spending, tariffs and war powers. And the US’s European allies are scrambling to respond to Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland, by force if necessary.
In an interview with the New York Times earlier this month, Trump declared that the only constraint on his presidential power was “my own morality”.
Quantitive assessments of the country’s democratic health point are bleak.
Ratings of US democracy by scholars – and Americans overall – dropped “significantly” after Trump took office last year, according to data from Bright Line Watch, a nonpartisan democracy-monitoring initiative that surveys political scientists and the public on potential threats and erosions.
In its September survey, experts rated US democracy 54 on a 100-point scale, placing the country closer to illiberal or hybrid regimes than to the full democracies of G7 peers such as Canada or the United Kingdom.
An assessment by the Century Foundation’s new democracy indexing project found that the US had recorded a staggering 28% “collapse” in democratic health over the past year – from 79/100 in 2024 to 57/100 in 2025, the kind of sudden decline more typically associated with coup or other major shock.
Nate Schenkkan, the report’s lead author and a former research director at Freedom House, hoped to help Americans distinguish between the “push-pull” of partisan politics and the “authoritarian behavior” of the current administration.
“When a major change happens in a political system, it’s very unevenly distributed,” Schenkkan said.
“Certain people will feel it first. Certain communities will feel it harder and faster. And it is really important to recognize that just because it hasn’t come to you doesn’t mean that it won’t.”
