"The Trump regime is seeking to deflect blame and avoid responsibility for the largest civilian massacre by the U.S. military [at a girls' school in Minab, Iran] since the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. It’s vitally important to understand what has actually happened and how the White House is now seeking to shift the narrative and evade accountability."

Gaslighting Over Atrocities
The Trump White House’s deflections and false claims around a massacre of children cannot be allowed to stand.Jay Kuo (The Status Kuo)
As Aaron Parnas reports this morning, Trump is now threatening to rain "Death, Fire, and Fury" on Iran (though, of course, he imagines the word "rain" is spelled "reign" — since he truly knows no better).
His threats have to do with the fact that the Strait of Hormuz is now impassable due to his war, and this is affecting the global economy, creating political problems for him and Republicans in the US.

"Trump blundered his way into a war in which one of the first acts was the killing of more than 160 innocent schoolgirls. Neither he nor the senior US military comm and has the decency or humanity to admit that they killed hundreds of Iranian children through their recklessness."

"With new evidence emerging that the United States was responsible for the strike on a school in southern Iran than killed scores of children, President Trump baselessly blamed Iran for the attack."

"He’s even stated explicitly that this should be going how it did in Venezuela, where the next in command steps forward and agrees to an indefinite period of vassalhood under not so much the U.S. but Donald Trump himself. What remains of the Iranian state leadership does not seem interested in that."

"Trump started this war as part of the international acting-out he’s been at for the last few months, a way of compensating for reverses at home. If we look at his statements and U.S. actions leading up to the beginning of the war, the impulse or the goal seems simply to be in charge, for Iran to do what Trump says."

Iran: It’s Hard to Know How to Exit When You Don’t Know Why You’re There
In discussions of modern wars, Americans obsess about “exit strategies”. How do you avoid getting “bogged down?” How do you know when the mission is finished?Josh Marshall (TPM - Talking Points Memo)
"House Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford on Fox: 'We have been at war with Iran since 1947.'
… The Republican talking point is to claim that Iran has been at war with us for 47 years, so Trump’s bombings are just a continuation of that and are being done in self defense. But Crawford got it a little confused trying to follow the script."

… Trump was widely criticized for wearing a campaign hat he’s selling on his website for $55 during the dignified transfer ceremony for the soldiers killed during his Iran War.Ron Filipkowski (Meidas+)
"In just over a week, Trump and top administration officials have given at least 17 different responses about why the war began. ...
Hegseth has described the war’s mission as 'very very clear' and 'laser-focused.' Rubio said the war had 'a very clear goal' and he didn’t understand why there was any 'confusion.' Leavitt said that Trump had laid out 'achievable objectives.'”

"The situation is scary. And what’s even scarier is that the 'warrior ethos' gang in the Trump administration seem to have been caught completely off-guard by the fallout from their adventure, even though the military and the intelligence community tried to warn them about the risks."

"Trump sees war as 'blowing things up.' Dealing with the bodies of soldiers he sent to war is—for Trump—an annoyance that delayed his weekend golf by a day, to Sunday, when he wore the same golf hat that he wore during the dignified transfer."

The longer we remain blind to the terrible consequences of war, the more we are risking the most precious gift God gave us: our humanity."

"A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game — it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day. Six U.S. soldiers have been killed. They are also dishonored by that social media post."

The clip was captioned: 'JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY.'"

"The Trump regime certainly frames the war in Iran as a particularly boneheaded and un-nuanced Hollywood film along the lines of 'Rambo' (1985). ... Perhaps even more tellingly, the White House X account posted a video collage of clips from the war intercut with footage from Hollywood action, war, and superhero films."

"The US has a longstanding tendency to see wars as one-sided affairs, with American protagonists, American victims, and a cast of disreputable and/or sympathetic non-American side characters. This is perhaps most obvious in the mass of Hollywod Vietnam war films, of which only rare exceptions include a non-American main character."

"Karl answered that 'nobody questions the success of the military operation, the concern is what happens next.'
'Forget about next,' Trump answered. 'They are decimated for a 10-year period before they could build it back.'
'We’re marching through the world,' Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) told a laughing Maria Bartiromo of the Fox News Channel this morning."
