Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

He’s going to lose it in a gloriously entertaining way.

Sources Briefed on Iran War Say U.S. Has No Plans for What Comes Next “The administration doesn’t have a clue. They do not have an actual, real rationale, endgame, or plan for the aftermath of this.”

“The administration doesn’t have a clue. They do not have an actual, real rationale, endgame, or plan for the aftermath of this.”

Anyone saying Iran is a bunch of "crazed religious fanatics" should give Pete Hegseth a quick listen.

Democracy in the UK 😄

The final two years of this admin and all four years of the next need to be dedicated to the restoration/reformation of democratic institutions and the prosecution of Trump admin officials for their copious crimes. I will vote for no Democratic candidate who talks about the need to "turn the page."

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

So much peace and stability restored to the region by the administration.

The Washington Post laying off their Middle East team weeks ago is of course a feature, not a bug, of this moment: Broad devaluation of fact based analysis and even the pretense of scrutiny of U.S. policies beyond the superficial press releases of our ossified alliances

'Bored of peace'.

I'm hearing reports that the elderly despotic leader is now afraid to reenter the capital and is attempting to establish a functioning government in a gilded palace located in a remote southern part of the country.

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

Bluesky has as much bad news as X but over here, we're against it

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

From r/xennials…

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

There is only one nuclear armed state in the Middle East. It is Israel.

In a single statement, Pete Hegseth has declared Anthropic a supply chain risk while *also* insisting it must continue to directly supply the Department of Defense for up to six months.

He's also claiming that designation has powers it doesn't (to cut Anthropic off from all business to suppliers).

never mind they're designating Anthropic a supply chain risk and trying to knife the company for refusing to make killbots and domestic surveillance systems for the US government. absolutely insane, shameful, and corrupt behavior

It appears Trump is upset about Anthropic decision not to obey the Department of Defense.
