PRESSURE SYSTEMS — LATEST EDITION

September 3, 2026

Across Operation Southern Spear and the Persian Gulf, US boat strikes and aerial bombings of civilian targets like a wedding in Sirik reveal how executive lawlessness is militarizing regional waters while hollowed-out command structures scramble to manage the fallout.
