#Trump says the #US will โ€œobliterateโ€ #Iran power plants if it doesnโ€™t fully open the #StraitOfHormuz within 48 hours

Trump issued the ultimatum on social media while he spent the weekend at his resort in Florida.

He said heโ€™s giving Iran exactly 48 hours to open the vital waterway or face a new round of attacks. He said the US would destroy โ€œvarious POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!โ€

'...Danish soldiers flown to Greenland in January were prepared to blow up key airport runways over fears that US President Donald Trump could invade the Arctic island, Denmark's public broadcaster DR says.

Citing sources in the Danish government and military, and also among European allies, DR says blood supplies were also brought in to treat the wounded in the event of fighting.

[...] A high-ranking Danish security source told DR that "when Trump keeps saying he wants to take over Greenland, and then what happened in Venezuela happened, we had to take all scenarios seriously."...'

Wasn't the stockpile of enriched uranium 640 kgs and not 970 pounds(i.e. 430 kgs)?

Nope.

The #Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the #Iran #war, a senior admin official says.

The DoD sent the request to the White House, acc/to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymityโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s an extraordinarily high number & comes on top of extra funding the Defense Dept already received last year in #Trumpโ€™s big tax cuts bill.

Rania, please tell us more about the situation now. I know the food prices got much worse when #Israel and the US attacked #Iran and #Lebanon, but are food prices still rising or are they starting to come down at all?

Is there much crime or violence within the camps, or are things reasonably calm?

Both the United States and Israel were shaped by political systems built alongside racial hierarchy and contested citizenship.

Each proclaimed democratic ideals while simultaneously managing populations excluded from the full promise of those ideals.

They are both profoundly unfree and racially riven societies..

That shared history matters.

โ€œThe sacrificial nation of Iran doesnโ€™t fear your empty threats. Even those bigger than you couldnโ€™t eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.โ€

Iranโ€™s healthcare system is struggling as the USโ€“Israeli war enters its third week, with about 15,000 wounded overwhelming hospitals. Bombings have hit 31 hospitals and clinics, leaving 12 out of service, and 11 health workers have been killed.

Years of Western sanctions have left hospitals short of equipment and supplies, forcing doctors to work long shifts with limited resources while medical students and retired physicians help manage the crisis.

This not #Warsaw, #Stallingrad, or #Berlin in 1944. This is #Gaza city in 2026.

The #Nazis didn't do this.
The #SovietUnion didn't do this.
#Iran didn't do this.

#America funded this.
#Germany profit from this.
The #EU is afraid to challenge this.

No country in the world is prepared to stop this.
Only people can make a difference.

It is not anti-semitic to fight #Israeli #WarCrimes.

Fight for these people because no one else will.

They are worth it.


"Netanyahuโ€™s cynical deployment of diaspora Jews as a human shield for Israelโ€™s bad actions is neither new nor surprising. Zionists have for decades claimed that Israel is the core of Jewish identity, and that, therefore, criticism or resistance to Israel national policy is equivalent to antisemitism."
