2nd Marine Expeditionary Unit of around 2,200 Marines, 3 warships headed to Middle East as Iran war continues

2026-03-20 / CBS News

A second Marine Expeditionary Unit of about 2,200 Marines and three warships is headed toward the Middle East, as the war with Iran continues.

The unit departed California earlier this week, according to two U.S. officials. The first one, which is coming from the Pacific, is still making its way toward the region, and this second unit may take a few weeks to be in place.

The USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship that had been deployed to Japan, is part of the first group. It’s the most updated of the amphibious warships, known as a “big deck,” which allows more room for F-35 Stealth Fighter Jets, Ospreys and other aircraft.

An Amphibious Ready Group-Marine Expeditionary Unit was last used when the USS Iwo Jima was involved in the operation removing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from power. The group is also involved in drug interdiction and oil cargo ship interception and remains deployed in the Caribbean.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

历经五年修复 柬埔寨巨型湿婆神雕像再现千年风采

（金边法新电）柬埔寨一尊高达5米、重约7吨、曾碎成逾1万块的巨型湿婆神雕像，历经逾五年修复后重现千年风采。

柬埔寨文化艺术部星期三（3月18日）在著名世界遗产吴哥古迹门户暹粒的暹粒吴哥保护区，揭露了全面修复后“重获新生”的湿婆舞像。

这项修复工程自2020年启动，由柬埔寨与法国远东学院合作实施，并获得国际文化遗产保护联盟支持。

这座雕像被认为是东南亚地区规模最大的湿婆神舞像之一，具有重要的历史与文化价值。

雕像呈五面十臂造型，历史可追溯逾千年。雕像在14世纪倒塌后长期处于严重破碎状态，碎片数量超过1万块，在内战时期曾遭盗窃与破坏。

文化部的声明说，在修复过程中，修复人员记录了2750个表面有雕刻的碎片，并发现700多个连接处。经过多年系统修复，目前雕像已恢复完整形态，暂时安置于吴哥保护区内。

文化部说：“此次修复有力地证明了各方为确保掠夺者无法得逞所付出的努力。”

文化部说，希望雕像未来能够迁回原址——国戈寺（Koh Ker），作为传统信仰的象征继续供民众瞻仰，同时也将进一步带动相关地区旅游发展。

国戈古迹位于暹粒东北约100公里左右，10世纪时曾是吴哥王朝的首都，遗址群有超过30座寺庙，于2023年被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。

1960年代中期到1990年代，柬埔寨深陷内战和动荡，红色高棉政权掌权，使珍贵的文化遗产得不到保护。当时许多文物被盗走，多年来预计有数千件文物被走私出境。

上个月，柬埔寨迎回74件文物，这些文物据称是被臭名昭著的英国古董走私犯拉奇福德（Douglas Latchford）所掠夺。

• NHTSA finds no defect in Tesla’s pedal misapplication claims
• Tesla’s regenerative braking common in electric vehicles, NHTSA says
• Petition sought recall of Tesla vehicles produced since 2013

March 20 (Reuters) – The U.S. auto safety regulator on Friday rejected a petition seeking a ‌sweeping recall of about 2.26 million Tesla [(TSLA.O), opens new tab] vehicles, saying it had found no evidence of a safety-related defect.

The decision removes the immediate risk of a large-scale recall for Tesla, but regulatory overhang remains as ​authorities continue to scrutinize its Full Self-Driving driver-assistance system.

A petition in March 2023 ​alleged Tesla vehicles could increase the risk of pedal misapplication, potentially leading ⁠to unintended acceleration due to differences in controls such as one-pedal driving.

NHTSA said it ​found no evidence of a defect or safety risk, citing very few relevant incidents and ​data showing vehicles responded as intended.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The petition had called for a recall of all Tesla vehicles produced since 2013 and proposed safeguards such as ​requiring drivers to apply the brake pedal before stopping.

NHTSA said Tesla’s use of regenerative braking, ​or “one-pedal driving,” is common across electric vehicles and not unique to the company.

The agency identified only a ‌handful ⁠of crashes potentially linked to the issue and said vehicle data showed cars responded appropriately to driver inputs, adding there was no evidence the proposed fix would have prevented such incidents. It said it would continue to monitor any new safety information.

Meanwhile, the regulator on ​Thursday [escalated its probe] into ​3.2 million Tesla ⁠vehicles with Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver assistance on concerns the system may fail to detect or warn drivers in poor visibility conditions.

NHTSA first ​opened a preliminary evaluation into the automaker’s FSD software in October ​2024 in 2.4 ⁠million vehicles. The agency is now opening an engineering analysis, a required step before it can seek a recall.

Tesla said on Friday that the Dutch regulator, RDW, is reviewing its submission ⁠for ​its FSD system and is expected to grant approval ​in the Netherlands around April 10.

The company added the approval could pave the way for recognition across Europe, with ​potential EU-wide clearance anticipated this summer.

芽笼一间寺庙的草丛起火，现场不断冒出阵阵白烟。 （取自蔡引舟脸书）

芽笼一间寺庙的草丛星期五下午起火，一人送院治疗。

这起事故发生在星期五（3月20日）下午12时35分，事发寺庙位于芽笼26巷。

新加坡民防部队答复《联合早报》询问时说，火患涉及一片五米乘五米的草丛，民防人员到场后使用一支水枪将火势扑灭。一人事后被送往莱佛士医院，起火原因正在调查中。

碧山—大巴窑集选区议员蔡引舟后来发脸书贴文说，事发时他与妻子就在附近，两人赶往现场时，一对年长夫妇正尝试用一支水管灭火。

他说：“所幸一名邻居带着灭火器及时赶到，我也顺利在民防部队抵达时将火扑灭。”

根据蔡引舟上传的事发视频，草丛火势不大，但还是引发了阵阵白烟。

应对能源危机 印尼实施节能越南调高油价

发布时间 / 来源：2026年3月20日 19:44 / 联合早报

自2月底中东冲突爆发以来，越南的95号汽油和柴油价格分别上涨超过50%和70%。图为越南头顿市附近海域的白虎油井钻井平台。 （路透社）

（雅加达 / 河内综合讯）中东冲突引发的能源危机蔓延到东南亚，各国急于寻求对策；印度尼西亚颁布多项措施节能，越南则调高燃油价格，并推行使用新燃料。

印尼总统普拉博沃星期四（3月19日）在会议上听取了各部长关于保障能源供应措施的报告。内阁秘书泰迪说：“总统讨论了节能战略步骤，以维护国内能源稳定。”

总统府说，这些措施旨在维持可持续的能源供应，进而稳定经济；跨部门协调将确保政策有效且具聚焦，同时避免扰乱公共经济活动。

印尼政府随之在星期四晚间宣布，由于中东冲突导致能源价格飙升，将安排每周一天居家办公。经济事务统筹部长艾尔朗加说：“这有助于将汽油消耗量大幅缩减至平日的五分之一。”

这项政策虽只面向公务员，也鼓励私营企业采纳。政策的具体细节仍在敲定，将在近期生效。

财政部长普尔巴亚星期四承诺，政府会承担油价上涨带来的冲击，不转嫁给消费者。“燃油价格不会上涨，压力将由国家预算承担。如果我们像其他国家那样允许油价上涨，只会让人们陷入恐慌。”

普尔巴亚说，目前的油价已计入全年补贴预算，仍有充裕的财政空间。他也强调，尽管能源成本上涨，政府仍将财政赤字控制在国内生产总值3%的法定上限之内。

东南亚多国油价高涨 越南推行新汽油

越南政府星期四午夜前宣布上调汽油价格。其中，95号汽油价格较周末上调20%至每升3万零690越南盾（约1.5新元），柴油价格上涨近34%至每升3万3420越南盾。

自2月底冲突爆发以来，越南的95号汽油和柴油价格已分别涨了逾50%和70%。

贸易部发表声明称，此次涨价，是中东冲突、伊朗控制霍尔木兹海峡以及俄乌战争等因素共同冲击的结果。

越南政府说，总理范明政已与卡塔尔、科威特、阿尔及利亚和日本等国通过电话，请求提供燃油支持。

范明政星期四也签署政府指令，越南将从下个月开始使用E10汽油，比原计划的6月1日提前了一个月。E10汽油是一种含有10%生物乙醇的混合汽油。

指令还敦促有关部门出台激励措施，鼓励生产和使用电动车，并呼吁扩大可再生能源的开发和利用。

与此同时，在缅甸，汽油价格一夜间上涨约30%。泰国政府则在星期三（18日）宣布提高柴油价格，油价随之飙升。

新闻网站Axios引述四名知情人士的消息报道，特朗普政府正在考虑占领或封锁伊朗哈尔克岛（Kharg Island），以迫使伊朗重新开放霍尔木兹海峡（Strait of Hormuz）。

此前，伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社星期五（3月20日）报道，伊朗议会国家安全与外交政策委员会发言人雷扎伊说，哈尔克岛安全形势稳定，伊朗石油出口仍在持续进行。

新华社引述雷扎伊说，伊朗目前没有与美国进行谈判的计划，有关停火或谈判的说法均为美国为控制能源价格而散布的虚假消息。

雷扎伊说，伊朗近期行动已取得显著成果，对敌人造成了“更具决定性的”沉重打击。若任何国家以任何形式允许伊朗的敌对方使用其领土或军事基地，将视为直接参战方，成为伊朗的打击目标。

Thune accuses critics of ‘creating false expectations’ amid backlash over stalled SAVE America Act

March 20, 2026 5:00am EDT / Fox News

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Republicans launched a test of Senate Democrats’ resolve against voter ID legislation, and while it may not look like what many wanted, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., argued it was the only path forward.

Thune has been pressured by President Donald Trump, a cohort in the Senate GOP, and a fervent online network of conservatives demanding that he activate the talking filibuster to pass the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.

But it’s a floor tactic that Thune argued has never proven successful in passing legislation.

[REPUBLICANS SIGNAL NO RETREAT ON SAVE ACT AS MARATHON SENATE DEBATE KICKS OFF]

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., pushed back against the external pressure for him and Republicans to launch the talking filibuster, and told Fox News Digital, “Nobody really knows how this ends, and the people who are out there saying they do, don’t.”(Nathan Posner/Anadolu via Getty Images)

“Nobody really knows how this ends, and the people who are out there saying they do, don’t,” Thune told Fox News Digital in an interview. “Because it’s never been done, or at least hasn’t been done in modern history.”

Proponents of the talking filibuster view it as a method to blow through the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold and ensure that the SAVE America Act is passed. But it comes at the steep price of the upper chamber’s most valuable currency — floor time — which, during an ongoing shutdown, is not something lawmakers would want to give up.

Thune added that Senate Democrats have also considered the move in the past under former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and noted that they “opted against it in both cases because I think they felt like the price that we would make them pay wasn’t worth whatever it was they were trying to get done.”

“If I saw a pathway, even if it was a small-percentage pathway of getting an outcome, I’d be more inclined to do it,” Thune said. “But we looked at it, ran all the contingencies, gamed it out, mapped it out, what it would look like on the floor, did the research, studied the history, and couldn’t find a single example in modern Senate history where a talking filibuster actually led to a piece of legislation passing.”

Instead, Thune and Senate Republicans are doing a version of the talking filibuster that does allow for unlimited debate but prevents an unlimited number of amendments from Senate Democrats that would drastically alter the bill and that Republicans know they don’t have the votes to kill.

It’s not a move he made on his own, either. The nature of Thune’s leadership style, which helped secure him the top spot in the Senate GOP, is to avoid unilateral decision-making and instead allow Republicans to come to an agreement on a plan.

Still, there are critics who are unhappy with the plan Republicans landed on given that it doesn’t lower the threshold to pass the bill. But the pressure Thune felt from all sides wasn’t enough to make him cave and pull the trigger on the talking filibuster.

“I think there’s a sort of a leadership guru who, one of his main points is, the first responsibility of a leader is to define reality, and so I try and figure out what’s achievable,” he said. “And there are a lot of folks out there who are over-promising and creating false expectations about what we can get done here.”

Republicans’ plan has seen the Senate engage in three straight days of debate on the SAVE America Act in a bid to force Senate Democrats to argue against the legislation. When that debate comes to an end is still in the air.

Some, like Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who is the lead sponsor of the bill, want the Senate to spend time on the bill for “as long as it takes” to wear down Senate Democrats.

“And if we’re not there yet, we need to continue debating it,” Lee said.

New VA-DOJ agreement on guardianship could put homeless veterans at risk, advocates warn

Veterans’ advocates are raising concerns that a new agreement between the departments of Veterans Affairs and Justice could take away veterans’ autonomy over their health care decisions and deter them from seeking care, particularly those facing homelessness.

The memorandum, announced by the departments last week, would authorize VA attorneys to “initiate and participate in state court guardianship or conservatorship proceedings” while serving as special assistant US attorneys appointed by the Justice Department.

Guardianship “doesn’t take away your physical autonomy, but it can take away your right to vote, your right to marry, your right to engage in some financial transactions,” Jennifer Mathis, deputy director at Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, told CNN. “That’s a big deal. We shouldn’t take that lightly.”

Ad Feedback

The VA said in a statement the agency serves “hundreds of Veterans” who cannot make their own health care decisions and don’t have family or legal representation,including those experiencing homelessness.

Under the memorandum, VA attorneys will be able to initiate guardianship proceedings “in cases where a legal decision-maker is required for post-acute transitions of care.” If the court approves, a third-party, “who is not a VA employee” will be appointed as a guardian, VA press secretary Peter Kasperowicz told CNN.

When a court grants guardianship, it allows a family member or someone appointed by the court to make some or all decisions for another individual. A Department of Justice webpage says that “guardianship results in the removal of an individual’s legal rights and restricts their rights to make their own decisions. For that reason, state laws recognize that it should be a last resort.”

Mathis told CNN she is concerned the memorandum “is that this may be a way to discharge veterans (experiencing homelessness) who are sitting in hospitals to settings that they might not choose.”

“If people are sitting in a VA hospital and not being discharged, it’s very likely because there aren’t enough services or housing, not because they don’t have guardianship,” Mathis said.

Asked about advocates’ concerns that the memorandum particularly impacts veterans facing homelessness and puts them at risk, Kasperowicz said, “VA’s announcement is not aimed at homeless Veterans. It is aimed at roughly 700 Veterans across the country who are currently in VA facilities and are unable to make their own health care decisions and have no family or legal representation to help them.”

“These Veterans remain in VA hospitals, which may not be the most appropriate setting for them, with no way of transitioning to more appropriate care,” he added. “Some are homeless or at risk of homelessness, but the key characteristic is not homelessness, it is the lack of capacity to make their own medical decisions.”

Thomas O’Toole, VA’s acting assistant undersecretary for health for clinical services, relayed a similar message to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs on Wednesday. He told lawmakers, “It is not intended as a homeless initiative.”

Mathis told CNN it is an unusual move to have VA’s lawyers petition for guardianship. However, Kasperowicz pushed back on the claim and said it’s similar to “health care providers and hospitals” filing guardianship petitions, stressing that the lawyers would have to follow the same rules as other petitioners.

Kathryn Monet, the CEO of National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, said with the memorandum, the departments are “trying to make it easier to place veterans in the conservator- or guardian-type situation.”

She told CNN she worries that “there’s a lot of opportunity for misuse,” pointing to the Trump administration’s actions on homelessness, which she described as being “focused on forced treatment and penalizing people for being outside.”

Last summer, for example, President Donald Trump signed an executive order making it easier for local jurisdictions to remove homeless people from the streets. Kasperowicz told CNN the memorandum “has nothing to do with” the president’s executive order and pushed back against concerns of misuse.

Nearly 33,000 veterans facing homelessness

According to a Department of Housing and Urban Development report published in 2024, there are nearly 33,000 veterans facing homelessness and nearly 14,000 of them are unsheltered. According to National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, around 5% of adults experiencing homeless are veterans.

Monet told CNN that stigmas around homelessness may make it easier for doctors to mistake veterans’ choices and behaviors as a sign of mental illness rather than in response to the conditions of poverty.

Homeless veterans are housed in 30 tents on a sidewalk along a busy San Vicente Boulevard outside the Veteran’s Administration campus in West Los Angeles as viewed on April 22, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. During a 2020 count it was reported that there are an estimated 4,000 veterans living on the streets of Los Angeles.

Another risk, she added, is once placed in conservatorship, a veteran experiencing homelessness may not have “the means to a legal defense to get out of this situation.”

Monet also acknowledged the possibility that the memorandum could deter veterans from seeking care.

“That’s the last thing that I want to see happen for a veteran facing housing instability, because VA, for a long time, has been a really strong provider of health care, and the place that is, you know, a resource for folks in poverty,” Monet said.

Democratic Rep. Mark Takano, the ranking member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, also raised concerns that the memorandum will put veterans’ autonomy at risk. He said in a statement, “Veterans fought for our freedom and theirs. The federal government should not be engineering ways of taking it away.”

VA Secretary Doug Collins and Attorney General Pam Bondi have touted that allowing VA lawyers to petition for guardianship would make proceedings more efficient and ensure that veterans receive “timely” care.

“The Department of Justice is proud to partner with the Department of Veterans Affairs to support our nation’s brave Veterans by ensuring that they have the best legal resources available when it comes to making medical decisions and receiving timely care,” Bondi said in the statement. “We owe our Veterans a debt we can never fully repay — but we can give them the support they deserve.”

But even one supporter of the move said it would be tricky to implement.

Stephen Eide, who studies homelessness as a senior fellow at the conservative-leaning Manhattan Institute, told CNN he strongly believes “there should be more use of involuntary interventions to deal with the mental health crisis and the homeless crisis.”

“There is a certain kind of individual — who is homeless or at risk of it — who has a condition like schizophrenia and is not being treated, who simply cannot be relied on to seek treatment voluntarily,” Eide said. “For this type of person, the choices are either no treatment or some kind of involuntary treatment. And I’ll go with involuntary treatment.”

However, he added that addressing the issue “from the federal level is very awkward.”

“It will require a lot of coordination between police, social workers, state and local governments,” Eide said. “There will be complexity in the execution of this.”

维持中立 斯里兰卡曾拒绝美国战斗机降落 | 联合早报

发布/2026年3月20日 16:42

3月5日，一名男子在科伦坡通过手机观看斯里兰卡总统迪萨纳亚克在特别媒体简报会上讲话。 （法新社）

斯里兰卡政府近期拒绝了两架美国战斗机在斯里兰卡南部马塔拉机场降落的请求。

斯里兰卡总统迪萨纳亚克星期五（3月20日）在议会发表讲话时说，根据斯里兰卡的中立政策，政府决定拒绝美国的请求。他说，斯里兰卡一直坚持中立，不会在任何压力下放弃这一立场。

新华社引述迪萨纳亚克说，斯里兰卡同样拒绝了此前伊朗提出的请求。伊朗提出要在3月9日至13日，派三艘海军舰艇访问斯里兰卡。

他告诉议会，这是为了维护斯里兰卡的中立，并确保领土不会用于任何可能帮助或阻碍交战双方的军事目的。

法新社报道，今年3月，美国军队在斯里兰卡海岸附近，用鱼雷击沉一艘伊朗护卫舰。

迪萨纳亚克说：“他们想在3月4日至8日期间，将两架携带八枚反舰导弹的战机，从吉布提（Djibouti）的一个基地转移马塔拉国际机场（Mattala International Airport），我们拒绝了。”

他说，美国于2月26日提出请求。同一天，伊朗也提出类似请求，希望三艘军舰在结束印度海军演习返回途中停靠科伦坡港。

他说道：“我们当时仍在考虑伊朗提出的3月9日至13日三艘军舰停靠科伦坡的请求。如果我们答应了伊朗的请求，就不得不答应美国的请求。

“但我们没有答应。我们始终坚持中立立场。”

迪萨纳亚克此言一出，赢得了在场225名议员的掌声。
