Our troops are being told that war with Iran is part of a biblical prophecy for Armageddon that Trump was anointed by God to carry out.
This is what happens when Christian Nationalism infiltrates the government. And people are dying because of it.
Screenshot of a warning to Americans to "depart now via commercial means due to serious safety risks" from Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
Warning American citizens to evacuate over a dozen countries three days into this war, when commercial flights are already shut down, demonstrates the Trump Administration’s lack of planning or coordination.

Every Just War scholar since the Iraq War: "We need a whole new jus post-bellum theory to ensure our countries never again go to war without a credible exit plan."
This administration just went to war without even a fig leaf of a legal basis & no plan at all for the war or its aftermath.
Trump spent the last year firing counterterrorism experts - including recently firing a dozen FBI agents from "an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran."

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran.
I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.
Trump’s war in Iran is not smart, not legal, not morally right and not in our national interest.
Congress must act and vote for the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.
Congress decides whether we go to war, not the president. Trump needs to justify these military operations to the American people, especially now that six American soldiers lost their lives. That’s why I’m voting YES on @kaine.senate.gov’s War Power Resolution.

"the United States of America and Israel decided to launch military operations. These were carried out outside the framework of international law, and we cannot condone them"

Today parents in Iran buried 165 children killed in the attack on a girls’ primary school by the United States and Israel.
From Gaza to Iran, this is what “liberation” by the West looks like.
Thank you to Bristol’s Interfaith Group for such a clear, united statement that this march does not represent them or the faith communities they serve.
Bristol will not fall for Islamophobia masquerading as unity.

And another new low. Helping the US commit war crimes. At least Blair had a pretext. God weeps and bleeds with the victims and all victims of violence.

The govt must do more than express concern over the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank - they must take action.
Ban trade with illegal settlements and impose new sanctions on Netanyahu and all responsible for this violence.
A Guardian graphic showing a change in European gas prices between 7 December and 1 March. The title reads "European gas prices have surged in response to the Iran conflict". The subtitle reads "Netherlands day-ahead contract, € per megawatt-hour". A red line on the graph steadily rises, peaking at just over 40 at the end of January, then falling again throughout February. The line steeply increases to over 44 on 1 March.
Today’s Spring Statement comes at the same time as skyrocketing oil and gas prices, following Trump’s strikes on Iran. Meanwhile, unemployment is forecast to climb to 5.3%.
There is something the UK Government could do that would help...
Completely generic and not remotely consistent with an “imminent threat”.
03.03.2026 12:15 — 👍 135 🔁 56 💬 7 📌 2This too! In my own experience (5 Middle East evacs) we always closely coordinated with British/allied colleagues, particularly when citizens from our countries and those of other friendly countries were at risk. I’m sure that’s happening on the ground but, sadly, they’re probably playing catchup.
03.03.2026 14:35 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Indeed. Spare a thought for the 300K Brits in the region. America has no plan to protect American citizens, & gave no thought to those of allies or even the opportunity for us to formulate our own plans independently.

@darrenpjones.bsky.social
Is it legal to collude with the initial aggressor in their continued illegal attack? Is it even in the UK's interest to do so? If your answer is "no" to the former & "yes" to the latter, would you still support allowing the US to use our bases?
Trump says the UK-US relationship 'is not what it was' after Iran strikes - 'has it been damaged?'
Darren Jones said 'I recognise the President would rather we were involved in the initial strike... we will only engage British armed forces when there's a legal basis to do so'
In a normal world, where the US government was doing its job and coordinating among its constituent parts, this would’ve been done sometime ago and over stages so Amcits in the region could have viable options and not have to just pull evacuation plans out of their rear ends. But what do I know?

Zero controversy over the usual complex nuances that might, at a stretch, pass for a legal case. Everyone is saying this war is straight-up illegal. It rests on the bald assertion "Trump can do as he likes."
03.03.2026 13:50 — 👍 0 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0It's plain as the nose on your face that Trump is behaving like a mediaeval tyrant king. A normal republican President would make the case for war to persuade allies, Congress & the American people that it is right, necessary & in the national interest. They know this is wrong. They don't care.

The White House has submitted its War Powers report to Congress for the attack on Iran.
The justification for military action rests on 1) Iran's supposed continued quest for nuclear weapons and 2) the threat Iran's missiles pose to US forces, vessels, civilians and those of partners. 1/n
