Prime Minister Carney, Prime Minister Støre, and Chancellor Merz pose for a photo while observing a NATO Operation Cold Response exercise in Bardufoss, Norway.

Prime Minister Støre, Chancellor Merz, and I agree: by working together, we can better protect and defend the Arctic and High North, and ensure the security and prosperity of the entire region.

Trump: "Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island. Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision. During my First Term, and currently, I rebuilt our Military into the Most Lethal, Powerful, and Effective Force, by far, anywhere in the World. Iran has NO ability to defend anything that we want to attack — There is nothing they can do about it! Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the ability to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East or, for that matter, the World! Iran’s Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Trump: "Moments ago, at my direction, Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island ... those in this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms."

P.P.S tad bit circular reference but so much on the money. "Why would a tanker, a floating bomb make a run if US warship cant"

P.S I know, I know fireballs in tv. But its 12 ships attacked in the entire Sea, not just Strait, in two weeks. 2 heavy damage with zero escort. Crossing during day time. Additional crazy? Irans oil shipments are peaking, they sent out more than normal. Make it make sense

Trumps admin is 🤡, obvious. CENTCOM planning was bad, because of weak leadership and most plans having heavy NATO component, fine. But it is actually solvable problem. Not for tankers but for US Navy ships. And the reasons they are not doing is are ethereal. Zero logic 2/2

Recommend watch. For multitude of reasons but a good overview why most experts are baffled. US actions towards Strait have been, and I did choose the correct term, insane. Even without planning or regarding Iranian hidden "supper-weapons", easy, DOABLE, must actions are avoided 1/2

Key issue, they Stait is not actually militarily closed. But US has done zero effort to enforce it. Risk too high? So hidden risk? There's something extremely wierd going on. And might just be lack of plan from admin. 2/end

To take Qeshm you'd need 10x that and more. And the strait thing is one of the greatest mysteries. Everyone knew, Trumps admin is 🤡 but CENTCOM had 50 years to plan. Was the plan actually Estonian sweepers aka Nato help 🤷. Because what's going on is russia 2022 level planning 1/

Its 1200 combat ready troops, so not much. But, 3/4 of this war is dick measuring, and while stupid its not nothing. Iran can see this as a possibility to KIA US troops or that US is ready to put boots in and that would be a long-war and Iran can't take that one easily

Left side, near waterline damage? Seems logical. But are you thinking one, not two hits or first under over hit? Because the top fire seems different...

Offcourse but historically hunger and thirst topple more government than all the bombs combined

Indeed and thus the risk more you bomb French soldiers in Iraq less time you have against PMOI and one day its Syria (very unlikely but i generalize for underscore its not one way)

Groups in Iran against gov

Kurds have PDKI, PJAK, PAK, Komala

Baloch/Sistan have Jaish al-Adl, BRF, MPF

Khuzestan movement has Ahwaz Falcons, Ahwaz Brigades, ASMLA

Azeris have SADP and SAOCC

Add MEK/PMOI

I mean the country has 16? established separatist/terrorist/freedom fighting groups under different umbrellas. Not all of them are big or effective but some have been laying roots since forever. The brutal supression of protest reactivated many. And then there's Taliban and gazillion Isis ofshoots

They have their own issues tho. Way before the war. Water, energy, inflation crisis, spent reserves and prestige. Not public revolution, a paycheck bounce for security unit you really don't want going without pay. Add all sorts of forces inching for a weakness

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.
