"Great" should not be what you lead with when talking about criminal activity from Trump.

I remember following the 2009 protests in Iran on Twitter, first real live event i saw unfold in that way. Mousavi being targeted is striking

Tweet on X by Amir Kiyae reads: Strikes on Iran appear to have hit the home where opposition leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard have been held under house arrest - both are reported safe, but their residence was damaged. Former President Ahmadineiad's home was also targeted. Israel has stated it is targeting Iranian leaders "past, present, and future." This follows previous Israeli strikes on Evin Prison. Draw your own conclusions,

Home of reformist opposition leaders from 2009 Green Movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard was also hit by Israeli/US strikes. They have been under house arrest by the regime for over a decade.

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

NY Times: "Iranian state media announced early on Sunday that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed. 'To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return,' the news agency said." www.nytimes.com/live...

“Every Republican president comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.”

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how Trump’s ‘anti-war’ campaign was a lie, noting the president has bombed seven countries in his second term.

I hate that I get the reference here

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Says Iran had its chance to "yet refused to make a deal." The US and Iran were in negotiations. Oman was trying to keep talks going....

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on X: "Overnight, on President Trump’s orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY — the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history.

Half a day after airstrikes start, the US defense secretary issues his first statement, which largely echoes what Trump said last night. x.com/SecWar/statu...

In a world in which the United States had stayed in the JCPOA, we would be reaching some of its time limits. If, in that world, the US had acted with good faith, there would have been continuing discussions of Iran's capabilities and place in the nuclear world. We'd likely have a new agreement.

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. “Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran. “Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress. “I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace. “The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort. “I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

The Nihilism of Trump’s War Games - Truthdig At home and abroad, demonstrating strength through punishment is more important than “victory.”

The point of Trump wars is the war. There are plans for condos, but no peace. He preens, extorts what he can, and loses interest, assuming he began with any. What's left is a killer opportunity with no excuse left for it but civilizational extremism that ends either in futility or war crime.

Head of CBS News (and, soon, CNN) taunting Zohran and cheerleading Israel/Trump’s war on Iran almost nobody wants

In case there’s still any question about the agenda behind these networks now

Guess we better hope Iran can't afford to hire someone on TaskRabbit to point a $12 Radio Shack directional mic at this tent.

It is good! Better than it should be!

X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israel’s Attack on Iran WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

“Almost all of the most viral posts reviewed by WIRED on Saturday came from accounts with blue check marks, meaning they…could be eligible to earn money based on how much engagement their posts generate, even if the content is false.”

From @davidgilbert.bsky.social

I have, to be clear, no love for the Iranian government. But the US’s allies are pulling their punches, mentioning Iran’s violations by name and the US’s violations in generalities about the situation. This is not what an even application of international law looks like.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.
