After the aftermath of two salient events, the victims of one incident of detonative projectile fire are known to the public, and performers of another set of projectiles have been arrested.

It has been slightly over a week ago, that reports went around that some individuals fired rockets from the back of a truck, from a location within Iraq, over onto a location that was hosting US troops in Syria. More recently are reports that four men were arrested in connection to the event. 
The identities of who those four men are, are very hard to find at this point in the Internet.

It has been disclosed to media that the reporters that died in Lebanon were in a car when the projectile struck them. Among them were a woman. Reports provide the names of the victims, and the news agencies they were working for. The agencies were local to Lebanon.

Details beyond that are apparently subject to debate, such as what kinds of positions the agencies had in the interplay of everyone else.

A video has emerged of what is supposedly the moment of the overhead rocket fired into the vehicle the reporters were in, which was nearly overhead save a few degrees. It was not for instance, a long range drone that made twists and turns for 30 minutes from 100 miles away.

What the rationals are for all events is being debated per media as we speak.

Among Possible Issues:
Rules of warfare, regarding the Lebanese reporters. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth? Reports combatted with reports, or scrambling devices. 
Say an enemy spy approached a military base, trying to steal information; if that soy left their country and went to another's to spy on them, the defense of that base might among other options have the right to attack the spy to defend the base, especially if the spy is very elusive and there is no other way to thwart the spying. 
If a spy is in their own land, and they approach an individual that has made a presence in their land, and that individual or group, attacks that spy, to say that the spy was spying is the rationale, is a tougher argument to defend. An even tougher argument is if a reporter was in their land reporting, whether a spy or just a reporter, is attacked. Moreover, attacked while not being in the act of spying or reporting per se.
How else is information going to be made available?
At some point, some level of transparency is appropriate, as the rest of the world has the right to know that fair rules of engagement are being practiced, regardless of who the reporter is, such as yours, theirs, ours, an international agency, or a global news company.

Comments:
It may be more difficult to calculate predictions of developments in the Middle East than what may be calculated.
That's exactly why an environ and atmosphere of war makes for more dangers. Which is exactly why peace is preferred.

Rolling post, comments will be added, post updated throughout the day.

Bulleted points are not in extreme depth or detail, alludes to the idea for gist.

-Vietnam War/ Laos situation repeat.
Nixon, ...reference...there is no war/campaign etc in Laos, but, concurrent or near to that, there were things going on in terms of the US military present there.
At this point, it's not clear whether over several hundred thousand reports of what went on in Laos that still haven't been transcribed about 45 years later is still in that condition, about 5 years after that, now in March 2026.
The intensity of some of the activities/battles, in summary, what happened, is still difficult for the human mind to comprehend.

-While the Holocaust was going on, and while Allied forces conducted the rescue, there was other very intense strife going on in an array of areas of the world, roughly 1943 to 1947- repeat.
What happened, in other regions of the world besides where prison camps were, still haven't made there way to modern day school text books. Advanced college/university material doesn't seem to do much more than touch upon it either.

Today, March 27, 2026, there was a military parade in Myanmar.
Basically the 81st, marking 81 years of defence against Japan.

Next number 82; the 82nd has been seen in news stories on the Internet as at least prospectively slated as involved in 'boots on the ground' for some missions in Iran or area.

Discussion right now-
82nd is one of the best, or at least one of the best the US military has to show, as a historical fact.
Soldiers in 82nd are willing to work for $0 compensation. Sacrifice.
Lately there's been a lot of sloppy, greed implied, back and forth goings on having to do with Iran, and there better not be an attempt to 'use' 82nd soldiers (unfairly). 'If I see it', 'there's going to be some words'.

It is also known that Iran's' Revolutionary Guard, are some highly trained soldiers.

It looks like a stage has been set for a square off, of the best vs the best, (because nobody else feels like doing it.)

Meanwhile, keep in mind the ultimate idea and goals. In general. Which is peace. 

-While developments concerning Iran have taken news and media hype, limelight, center of attention, the following includes major events going on concurrently:
Myanmar/Burma situation
Russia/Ukraine situation 
Detonative devices dropped on Lebanon
Pakistan/Afghanistan 

It's understood that oil and energy in the financial aspect has been affected by the Iran situation.
Myanmar oil prices went up so high, people are now looking at other options of transportation; caps on the amount of gas people can buy are being set on. In effect, restricting travel, at least for some. (This is while the military parade is going on.)

A few days or so back, the US had Japanese Prime Minister a guest. This after about the 80 year mark after the 2 major bombs were dispensed on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, whereat support was 'reported by news media' being asked for in regard to missions on Iran.

Altogether, regardless of how it got there, and who exactly dispensed detonative devices on Iran in the mission called Epic Fury's, quantity is starting to push thresholds where it's larger and larger fractions that equivocate to the middle 1940s era bombs.

It seems as though if the US doesn't get Japan's approval, then a push for a guilty lanyard could start developing from peace groups, that there are now at least 2 similar sets of events, where the US is said in brief to be behind it. Whether the facts are it's entirely true, can be debatable, such as disagreements within military authority ranks, political divides on issues, etc, just like there are political divides on issues now. Nevertheless, when masses of people, especially when English is not their native language, are quickly given the story, what they are told is, the 'US did it'.

The conversations about sentiments and allegiances, they were over here, now over there, but can't be over there without over here, someone is left out, someone does not care if it does not line up or add up, over here, over there...

What is it about?

What are missions that put thousands of people's lives at risk about, money, politics, power, human trafficked attractive people in your house, access to reactional drugs?

Strait of hormones?, oops spelling, Strait of Hormuz.

'Shape it up', shape up preconditions for war; hold it; at this tim, after over 7000 detonative explosions in Iran, there might be room for asking who is the government, unanimously agreed on by the people of Iran, to represent Iran before other world bodies hat recognize countries, is it a continuum of Ayatollahs?

A new playing field of a warfield of simply Iran vs others interested in fighting,  is not the appropriate calling.

Today, March 2026, it is for the best that each movement, each increment of each movement, each word, each set of legislation, best that it be a refined gold nugget, reviewed, and for the best interest of the US short and long term.

Crash last evening...
Communication may not have been optimal...
Whether TSA lapses in employees affected the incident or not, this kind of incident is what happens when agencies like TSA are not at ideal throttle.
Reports are about 400 TSA employees have basically quit in the past few weeks, over pay...

Lawmakers are going to be under more pressure now more than the past few weeks to develop solutions.

Volatility possibilities a factor in determining what to do next, is very old. This time it has an application in markedly attention catching situation, the current conditions of unrest in the Middle East; summarized by Iran has recently been the subject of a high number of missile strikes, along with other activities, such as missiles landing all over the Middle East, something for years was considered an unheard of possibility in the Muslim and Arab Worlds.

In looking ahead, how ever far that is, is based on that in the past 100 years, there has just about always at some point and area within the Middle East, there has been unrest, there is the likelihood that the trajectory over the next at least decade there will either be unrest of some sort, or there will be reasons for someone not to let themselves let things rest, and feel they have a cause to contribute to unrest.

Gas and oil prices may be susceptible to volatility.
Aspects of economics may be volatile, such as here in the US, or in the Middle East, elsewhere, combinations, or all of the above.

Relations with nations may be volatile, allied and at peace in one dimension, but at odds with the same nations in another. For example, when long-time European allies of the US decide they are uncomfortable with a status of military operations, which could occur for example, after a new political party comes to the hilt of power in a nation in Europe.

The location of oil and energy resources, such as beneath the ground or under water, can be independent of geopolitical borders and of course disputes.

In the case of Iran in particular, there quite possibly is or could be, a series of different parties, entities, groups, political parties, religious followings, and more, that may all try to gain power. So if one political party and ideology gets installed, the immediate future might not be a simple of toy soldiers from days bygone. What is meant by that is the vying for power might not be divided into a simple two, either in power, or another group as option to be in power, one with amenable relations to other nations, in this case relevant to the US of course are relations to the US, and another party with relations not as warm.

Instead, based on the typical payout of Middle East politicals for locales in turmoil, there's usually about a half dozen different groups competing all at the same time, no matter what happens, an ongoing situation.

That's volatility. Just to what extent volatility will occur, can be extremely difficult to predict. But in the end, the prospect of volatility will probably exist for a long time.


Opinion afterword
Different methods of suicide related violence is embedded in some areas of the culture in some areas of the Middle East. Intensified activities in Iran are in an era where suicide bombings is still rife in the Middle East in general. There are recurrent reports of incidents in Nigeria, which is to far west extremes in/of the Middle East, debatable where to draw the end/begin line of the region, but is close enough to the northern African/ Middle East zone to make the point.

It can be readily brought to the forefront of minds among millions of Americans what happened in Beirut in October 1983, when the Marine barracks were affected. Of course there is the wish for no such thing to be repeated, nor of course the chance it could, which could mean, situations or settings that could exist where such an incident could conceivably even be planned, might not be in favor.

There have been several incidents in the US, such Austin, Texas attack, on or about March 2nd, and an attack on a synagogue on or about March 12 over a week ago. Whether fully correlated to developments in Middle East, or claimed, or plausible, the events occured and are hence, in the math, of evaluating the entirety of the landscape of emotional comfort.

Right now, March 2026, thousands of families in the Middle East are deeply emotionally affected from what has been going on in this month of March. 

Youthful soldiers being in a region where being upset emotionally is the atmosphere, might not be the safest, is an assessment based off common sense.

What is and what isn't uncertain or eerie might have differing opinions.
Here are a few buzz words and in the news now:

Japan PM slated for a presence in DC.

FYI, through here regarded is the 80th year after the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Americas Counter Cartel Coalition in the news.

More of Iran's top commanders or former top, (or somewhere in a grade between given the circumstance), have been reported recently deceased, the result of actions taken upon Iran that are markedly salient.

Details of what is happening in Iran day today right through here seem to be minimally available in terms of media coverage to aspects of the public.

It's remindful of what happened in Bosnia about 3 decades ago.
It's also remindful of what has happened in Ukraine in about the last 3 years.
Referring to lights off, global communication tools about off. People left in the dark. People have the tight go know what's going on, in general, doesn't have to be detailed minutia, but what is going on with their tax dollars, and how are they (the people, are) being represented.

Sometimes there may be a level of safely assuming the best things are happening and trust is placed, but there's a balancing act, the concern that there could be breaches of the guarantee, that some individuals, such as boots on the ground, didn't lead a troop into doing something absurd, outside the boundary of the mission and permission.

...

Surely there are those of us in the US that want nothing close to the sort of what US Secretary of State John Kerry had to go through in terms of controversy having to do with war.

Update today [no 'to day', too day, 2 day, or any other foolishness/misspellings hidden helpers want to throw in here to meddle with messages of this website] March 19, 2026 @ 12pm EST:
Oil fields and energy targets, in the Middle East, seem to be in the limelight and main points of contention in terms of prospective detonative aerial strikes. Just what exactly has and has not been struck, may have to await 100% verification.

There is some level of obviousness here, where strikes on oil and energy fields could have the ramification of raises in oil and energy prices, which begs the question, what is this all really about?
