#Trump admin sows “confusion” as it tries to reopen #StraitOfHormuz [they just have no idea what they’re doing]

The Trump admin’s approach to the #IranWar over the past 24 hrs has pinballed from declarations that a tenuous ceasefire was holding & military operations were over to new threats of bombing the Islamic Republic.

#Trump posted on social media that the war with #Iran could soon end & #oil & natural #gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that Trump did not detail.

“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote.

Interview: Israel is in a race against time to “lock in its domination” across the Middle East.

Israel’s strategy of “permanent war” allows for only two types of countries in the region:

either dependent or “too failed & fragile to pose any challenge”.

Israel can try to block a US-Iran deal by pushing for a major military operation against Iran, or by constant attacks on Lebanon & Palestine

Bottom line: Just war doctrine doesn’t justify conflict — it restricts it.

And in this case, a growing number of #Catholic voices say the #IranWar doesn’t meet the bar.

Many Catholic leaders argue the #IranWar falls short.

Some say it lacks a clear just cause. Others question whether it was truly a last resort or if diplomacy was cut short.


There is no #ceasefire, stop pretending there is.

#Iran warns #US the fight over #StraitOfHormuz hasn’t ‘begun yet’

#Trump warned Iranian forces would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if they targeted US ships.

Trump made similar threats before—including posting that “a whole civilization will die”—but this time, they were accompanied by military action. Trump posted Monday afternoon that the military “shot down” 7 Iranian boats in the strait.

Iran rejects US claim that vessels have crossed through #Hormuz

The #IRGC said NO commercial vessel or tanker had crossed the Strait of Hormuz in the past few hours.

The IRGC called claims by US officials "baseless & complete lies."

Earlier Monday, US #CENTCOM said 2 US flagged merchant vessels had crossed thru the strait.

LA Times: California braces for uncertainty as last shipment of Persian Gulf oil arrives in Long Beach

"...The last California-bound oil tanker to pass through the Strait of Hormuz since war erupted is at the Port of Long Beach offloading its valuable cargo — 2 million barrels of crude destined to be transformed into gasoline, jet fuel and diesel.....In two weeks, the Hong Kong-flagged tanker will have fully unloaded at the Marathon Petroleum terminal and departed again for distant waters. After that, California must figure out how to replace some 200,000 barrels of oil a day that will no longer be arriving from the Persian Gulf. ..."

completely unsurprising:

#Trump says he's 'not satisfied' with #Iran's newest peace plan

“They want to make a deal, I’m not satisfied with it, so we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters Friday at the White House.

Asked about what he sees as the proposal’s shortcomings, Trump said, “They’re asking for things I can’t agree to.”

the rest of the world?

in #Australia BYD recently dumped a bunch of EVs to benefit from subsidies that were running out. but they were worried they'd have to sit on a massive stockpile of #cars that would go unsold for a long time

nope

#Trump orders #US #military to 'shoot & kill' Iranian small boats choking #StraitOfHormuz

In a social media post Thursday morning, Trump said the military is intensifying its mine clearing efforts in the critical waterway. The move intensified the US - #Iran standoff in the Persian Gulf & raised questions about efforts to end the #war.

#Trump🚨said he's ordered the US Navy “to shoot & kill any boat” that's laying mines in the SoH. He's ordering UW minesweepers to continue clearing the strait🚨“at a tripled up level!”

“No ship can enter or leave w/o the approval of the US Navy. It's ‘Sealed up Tight,’ until such time as Iran is able to make a DEAL!!!”

The US: imposed a retaliatory naval blockade on Iranian ports in the reg.

People still don't know what the mystery meat is and a poster is claiming that water is being rationed as well.

"My nephew is on that ship. Apparently they have been rationing water as well because their distiller has been down. Also, they are not receiving food packages we are sending because whatever mail carrier service they use, isn't delivering to them.

I feel terrible for pushing him to join the NAVY. What a joke we've become"
