Remember how #Vance said he was in constant communication with #Trump?
Well, Trump was at a #UFC fight in Miami while #Iran talks collapsed.
On his way to Florida, Trump said it did not matter to him if a deal with Iran was reached or not: “We win, regardless,” he said.

"American Christians can’t pretend we haven’t seen what our leaders have done this spring. Ours is no longer a government interested in haggling over the finer points of just war theory, a Scripture-shaped standard of ethical conduct in warfare, to defend a military intervention."

“How do you lose a war against a country with one-tenth the wealth of the U.S.?
Be the first to fire a missile. When the missile is a precision-guided cruise missile, and it hits the target it was aimed at, and the target turns out to be a school full of children, and the well-aimed missile kills 180 schoolgirls, you have already lost the war and just don’t know it yet.” - @LuciankTruscottIV

"According to Letters from Leo, the relationship between the White House and the Vatican has sharply deteriorated after Pope Leo XIV condemned the Iran war & called for global peace. Behind the scenes, U.S. officials reportedly threatened and pressured the Vatican, warning that America’s military power gives it the ability to act without restraint & pushing the Church to fall in line."

Israel is waging war on Lebanon. Why is the world calling it a "ground operation"?
I’ve known Lebanon for three decades. What’s happening there now is an invasion. This is Gaza 2.0 – and the world is barely paying attention. By Carole CadwalladrCarole Cadwalladr (The Nerve)
#UN says 1.1 million #Lebanese, an unprecedented number, have been #displaced since early March conflict
And that number, representing nearly ⅕ of Lebanon’s population, is expected to rise following the wave of over 100 #Israel airstrikes on the country on Wednesday, the UN #humanitarian chief in #Lebanon said.
Imran Riza told UN correspondents in a video briefing that Israeli orders for Lebanese to leave their homes now affect 15.5% of the country’s territory.
Israel got away with targeting #healthcare in #Gaza It’s no surprise it is doing it in #Lebanon too
When will @EUCommission and especially @Bundesregierung speak out and stop supporting this insanity? #Complicit #BDSIsrael

“We have heard with deep sorrow the words coming from Donald Trump warning that an entire civilization—the population of Iran—could face total destruction. These threats are truly unacceptable. The idea that millions of innocent men, women, and children could be condemned to death under the pretext of national security is an affront to human dignity and a blasphemy against the Creator of life."

And he calls the left deranged lunatics!
#Trump warns a 'whole civilization will die tonight' if a deal with #Iran isn't reached
Trump issued the stark threat Tuesday, about 12 hours ahead of his deadline for Iran to agree to a deal that includes reopening the #StraitOfHormuz or face punishing strikes.
Trump wrote on his social media site: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

#UN Secretary-General #AntonioGuterres warned the #US that attacking #civilian #infrastructure is banned under #InternationalLaw, his spox said Monday.
“Even if specific civilian infrastructure were to qualify as a military objective,” spox Stephane Dujarric said, an attack would still be prohibited if it risks “excessive incidental civilian harm.”
A court would need to decide whether such attacks were #WarCrimes, he said.

But he also asserted that Americans were dealing with a third wave of leadership that “is not as radicalized.”

"An absolute insane person. My god."

P.S. Are we really going to play the purist CW labeling games — US Pol — when the fate of the WHOLE WORLD is at stake as a madman with his hand on the nuclear button threatens to rain down destruction on a nation he's targeting?
Do we really have the luxury of that kind of purism right now?

The claim came as #Iran fired on targets across the region, setting Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi #oil refinery one fire. The state-run #Kuwait Petroleum Corp said firefighters were working to control several blazes there.
Kuwait also said that an Iranian attack caused “material damage” to a #desalination plant. Such plants are responsible for most of the #DrinkingWater for Gulf states, & they have become a major target in the #war.

…Trump’s speech perpetuated the dissonance that has characterized the #IranWar from the start. In Trump’s first extended speech about the #war, delivered 32 days into it, he did not provide a clearer picture.
This is not the fog of war. It’s the fog of Trump’s rhetoric & perhaps his thoughts.

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the newspaper. “It would also mean we had to be there (on Kharg Island) for a while.”

The division of responsibility has left Israel to hunt & kill Iranian leaders ruthlessly, using an #ArtificialIntelligence apparatus built to #assassinate with lethal proficiency.
As US & Israeli military commanders met to map out war with #Iran, they deliberated over how to divide responsibility for an array of targets, including missile batteries, military bases & nuclear sites.
