#Trump vows to hit more Iranian #infrastructure as nations seek to open #Hormuz

First #POW.
A channel affiliated with Iranian state television claimed Friday that a #US fighter pilot ejected from their aircraft over southwestern #Iran.
It was not clear what may have happened to the plane, including whether Iran was claiming it was shot down or there was another issue. If the claim is confirmed, it could lead to yet another dramatic escalation in the #war, nearing the end of its 5th week. The #Trump admin did not comment.
“A chatbot did not kill those children. People failed to update a database, and other people built a system fast enough to make that failure lethal.”
Maven, the program Google was forced to pull out of and Palantir took over, was the system that identified the girls’ school as a target.

Military planners from about 30 nations will hold talks next week on making the #StraitOfHormuz #secure for shipping, the British government said Thursday, a day after Trump called on other countries to “build up some delayed courage” & reopen the crucial sea route.

…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.

No need to wonder who's in charge. Israel is Washington’s most favoured client state, but it *has* to operate within parameters laid down by the US.
At the same time, Israel influences "those parameters in its own interests, chiefly by shaping military, political & cultural discourse in the US through the many levers available to it."
Just ask whose particular interests are prevailing at any one time.

Does the tail wag the dog? How both sides are missing the bigger picture

US consumers, already feeling pain at the gas pump, can expect higher prices and prolonged shortages for goods of all sorts, including food, as additional consequences of slowed oil production.The Conversation

#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.
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.
#Kuwait’s international #airport has been hit by drone attacks, the Civil Aviation Authority said on Saturday.
It said the attacks severely damaged the airport’s radar systems.
No casualties were reported.

He has pilloried other countries for not helping the US, only to say later he does not need their assistance. He has 2X delayed deadlines for Iran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

CALLING TRUMP'S BLUFF!
Trump says he'll likely hold phone talks with Iran today and claims they both want to make a deal.
HOWEVER......
Iranian Foreign Minister says there are no talks with the United States, claims President Trump's statements are an attempt to lower energy prices and buy time for military plans.
