In 1953 the CIA overthrew Iran's democracy because it nationalized its own oil. We installed a dictator. His secret police tortured for 26 years. When Iranians revolted, the only opposition left was the mullahs because we'd destroyed the rest. Today we bombed them to bring 'freedom.'

Jane has been speaking out against imperial USA for so long now. It has to be disheartening to her, at 88 years old, to see the *most* selfish and imperial president in her twilight years.

The Trump regime illegally bombed a school in Iran and the opposition leader demands…an immediate briefing.

When the Republican Party can't explain their strategy (or lack thereof), they gaslight us. The American people can clearly see that President Trump isn't "ending a forever war," he's starting a new one.

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Right now I am leaning towards the concept that our own President is more of a danger to this country than any other country is.

KERMANI: “Your prime minister is a war criminal, you don’t have the moral high ground… What about those schoolgirls killed in Iran?”

Says everything about mainstream media in the West.

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland... the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it's not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

Hard to argue

This point is well taken and we all should be asking why does the U.S. provide aid to Israel and support their agenda? 🔥🔥🔥

This is horrific. While Iranian regime does many evil things to their citizens and the world through sponsoring terrorism, war is never the answer. I hope 🇨🇦 media ask Carney his position now that we’ve seen how USA and Israel are conducting this. I may do an extra OShow on the war in Iran tomorrow.

You wonder how committed Trump really is to seeing this through.

Eradicating the regime through air strikes alone could take weeks or months.

It won't be long before he's feeling the heat from the prospect of an indecisive protracted conflict. Entirely possible he'll end attacks & return to talks.

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next.

The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

TRUMP’S IRAN WAR: we are starting a war illegally (ie without congressional approval), in order to obliterate Iran’s nuclear capability, which the White House has said it does not have any more as a result of the Trump administration’s attack on Iran last year?
In short: An illegal pretextual war.

Reminder that none of things that Trump and his goons want Americans to be afraid of are responsible for bombing Iran. TRUMP DID THAT.

I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.

For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.

Attacking Iran is a gigantic political risk for Trump.

Even with two carrier strike groups and dozens of local bases, there is only so much that can be achieved from air power. Events on the ground cannot be controlled.

This could be an even bigger mess than Iraq, but on a far greater scale.

Trump had no choice but to act. The Iranians were just weeks away from obtaining the missing Epstein files.

Marjorie Taylor Greene unleashed on the Trump administration over its war with Iran, calling them “sick fucking liars.”

Yet again, an American president is sending other people’s kids to risk their lives in a senseless regime change war.

Yet again, we will lose lives, spend billions, and end up dragged into decades of instability.

Day 1 of the war and Israel already did a terror attack on a girl's school killing at least 51 children. What will it take to get people to understand that Netanyahu & Trump are creating the 4th reich? The shadow government of pedophile billionaires running the world are completely unhinged.

Unsure how to report on this fresh absurdity? Translation: the U.S. and Israel, both nuclear powers who have already flattened Gaza, now claim a moral duty to 'preemptively' bomb Iran. Why? A sudden concern for international law and paranoia Iran might develop the very weapons they already have.

Greens hit out at Nigel Farage accusations of cheating. Party Spokesperson: "This is an attempt to undermine the democratic result and is straight out of the Trump playbook. We've just won a historic by-election by a comfortable margin."

Lucy Rigby MP: "This is who Reform are👇

On my way to Gorton & Denton to campaign against Reform’s hate & division, & for Labour’s Angeliki Stogia 🌹

Unity over division every day of the week."

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country.

It's got to hurt

The most hilarious thing about today is Reform blaming their loss on Islamists…

…who famously always vote in their masses for women and gay Jewish men.

Dispatch From South Africa: While I Ate Koeksisters, Britain Voted Green Sunburnt and 11,000km away, I watched a Green shockwave hit Manchester - and Matt Goodwin discover that studio politics has limits.

Beyond the delight I feel at seeing Matt Goodwin stand on a stage looking like he’s chewing a wasp, I’m also delighted at the spectacular win by Hannah Spencer for the Greens.

Something genuinely worth celebrating today.
