Hundreds of people are dead. Little girls are dead. Six Americans are dead. Others are risking their lives. Millions across the Middle East are terrified,” liberal podcaster Jon Favreau commented. “It’s not a video game. It’s not a meme. It’s not another chance to troll the libs. It’s fucking war.”

Interview: A War for Oil: US Quest to Control the World’s Oil Trade

"Trump opted to attack Iran despite progress at indirect US-Iran negotiations."

The reason "has nothing to do with its getting an atom bomb". The reason is US control of oil.

"The Trump administration may've been after the ability to turn off the power to countries that don’t follow US foreign policy".

Americans stranded across the Middle East may have to wait “a few days, maybe a week” for evacuation flights, according to former U.S. Ambassador Donald Heflin, who worked on this sort of thing for years at the State Department.

He says the U.S. did not follow its usual protocol of warning Americans to leave as tensions escalated — leaving many scrambling for a way out now.

Democracy Now speaks with Israeli analyst Ori Goldberg in Tel Aviv. He says "there is a broad embrace of this attack" among Israelis, bringing together the country's liberal, right-wing, religious and settler groups.

"They all seem to agree, broadly and deeply, that this war is inevitable," says Goldberg, who adds that nobody has articulated a clear strategic vision for the war.
