What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• Trump told NBC News on Saturday, 3/14/26, that Iran was ready "to make a deal, and I don't want to make it because the terms aren't good enough yet."  But on Sunday, 3/15/26, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi refuted Trump and said it has not asked for a ceasefire.
• LIVE from BBC News.
• Quote of the week:  “The natural aim of military operations is the enemy’s overthrow.” – Carl von Clausewitz
• FCC chair threatens TV networks amid Iran war coverage – but his warning rings hollow.  In other words:  He's powerless.
• The damage to the world economy from the Iran war will be severe, but uneven.
• How much the war in Iran is costing Americans.
