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.

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

‘Just war’ has guided Catholic thinking on conflict for centuries – including criticism of Iran war
Just war theory, developed over centuries, focuses on six criteria for assessing whether a conflict is justified.The Conversation
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.
Kind of a backwards roundabout reason for hope? Sort of? In the long run? Maybe?
At the very least, a thoughtful essay that combines two of my favorite writers. #iranwar #fossilfuels @pluralistic

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.”
