The high profile conservatives setting policy for the US right now are just this stupid.
He really didn't realize that an island has set coordinates, that #Iran doesn't have to go to the Russians to figure out what the coordinates are.
#Trump raised the idea of #US forces seizing Iran’s #Kharg Island, its main #oil terminal in the Persian Gulf.
“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.”

#US cedes key #war mission to #Israel — killing top Iranians
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.
US conservatives are convinced that protests against #Trump are staged by people being paid to protest, but pro-government demonstrations in #Iran represent the legitimate feelings of the country.
(nevermind the dissonance of then expecting the country to pivot after regime change)
The conservative movement is being run by some of the dumbest people these days.
And that's how we get folks cheering on the idiocy that Trump engages in.
Nice. That’s taking a stand.
#Spain closes airspace to #US planes involved in #IranWar, defense minister says
Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran, a step beyond its previous denial of use of jointly-operated military bases, Defence Minister Margarita Robles said Monday.
"We don't authorize either the use of military bases or the use of airspace for actions related to the #war in #Iran," she told reporters in Madrid.
"Trump’s one consistent explanation is enjoyment. Trump felt good after kidnapping Maduro in Venezuela. He called into Fox and Friends to talk about how nice it would be to repeat the experience. He now says that the war in Iran is 'fun.' Hegseth uses similar terms."

US AWACS hit in Iran strike
...The E-3 Sentry is a cornerstone of US air operations, serving as a flying command centre that provides command and control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. In service since the 1970s, AWACS aircraft have played a crucial role in major conflicts, including Operation Desert Storm, the Kosovo war, campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the fight against the Islamic State under Operation Inherent Resolve.
Developed in the and widely exported to allies such as France, the UK, and Saudi Arabia, the E-3 is among the most widely used AWACS platforms globally. It enables forces to monitor vast airspaces, coordinate aircraft, and manage complex battle environments in real time. ...

US AWACS hit in Iran strike: Why damage to E-3 Sentry is a major blow | EXPLAINED
An Iranian strike on Prince Sultan Air Base damaged a critical E-3 Sentry AWACS and injured service members, highlighting vulnerabilities in ageing US air command infrastructure and slowing regional coordination.Wion
Americans are being lied to by the mainstream press about how much damage #Iran and it's proxies are doing in retaliation.
The strike on Prince Sultan airbase in Saudi destroyed an AWACS plane and damaged multiple refueling tankers.
Iran is holding back some capabilities in case of a ground invasion. Thousands of MANPADs and anti-ship cruise missiles have not been used yet.
Much of the world is going to run out of fuel in April.
#OSINT accounts are where the news is now.
"It's been 10 days🚨since #Hegseth & Caine last briefed on #Iran. No CENTCOM briefing since 3/10, & no Pentagon daily press briefing at all. We learn more of what the #US military has been doing from bystander videos than #DoD. Historic lack of transparency & accountability."

❝ The closest historical parallel to what is happening to transgender people in the military is, surprise surprise, Adolf Hitler’s removal of Jewish troops from the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht. The difference is that Hegseth’s policies on transgender people are even more draconian… the only time a country excludes a group of people from the military… is when they do not even see those people as being valuable as slaves, cannon fodder, or bullet sponges… ❞

"Before Iran, there was Covid: Trump falls apart in a crisis. But journalists are still letting him write the headlines."
As Dan Froomkin says, this is exactly analogous to how the press behaved when Trump careened from lie to lie and bogus solution to bogus solution during the Covid crisis of his first term.

RED FUCKING ALERT
The United States is dropping land mines around villages in Iran. Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.
The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.
LAND MINES ARE A WAR CRIME! What in the actual fuck are we doing here? This is a violation of law, of sense, and of humanity. Den Hague for everyone involved.

#Trump said Thursday he will delay a threatened strike on #Iran #energy #infrastructure & extend his deadline for Tehran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz until April 6, claiming talks to end the #war are “going very well.” The move marks a pullback from Trump’s earlier warning that the #US would target Iran’s energy plants if the crucial shipping lane remained closed.
