"This decision is part of the decision already made by the Spanish government not to participate in or contribute to a #war which was initiated unilaterally & against #InternationalLaw," Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said during an interview with radio Cadena Ser when asked if the decision to close #Spain #airspace could worsen relations with the #US.

#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.
"Trump’s one consistent explanation is enjoyment. Trump felt good after kidnapping Maduro in Venezuela. He called into Fox and Friends to talk about how nice it would be to repeat the experience. He now says that the war in Iran is 'fun.' Hegseth uses similar terms."

Trump's conflicting messages sow confusion [& disbelief] over the #IranWar
#Trump says the #US is winning the #war with #Iran even as thousands of additional American #troops deploy to the #MiddleEast.
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.

"Before Iran, there was Covid: Trump falls apart in a crisis. But journalists are still letting him write the headlines."
As Dan Froomkin says, this is exactly analogous to how the press behaved when Trump careened from lie to lie and bogus solution to bogus solution during the Covid crisis of his first term.

#WallStreet slumps on #MiddleEast uncertainty. #US #stocks had their biggest loss since the #war with #Iran started, with the S&P 500 falling 1.7%. #Nasdaq confirms correction.
#Trump said Thursday he will delay a threatened strike on #Iran #energy #infrastructure & extend his deadline for Tehran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz until April 6, claiming talks to end the #war are “going very well.” The move marks a pullback from Trump’s earlier warning that the #US would target Iran’s energy plants if the crucial shipping lane remained closed.

"Donald Trump’s unlawful war in Iran is escalating rapidly, and the gap between what he’s saying and what’s actually happening has never been wider. We are now seeing the deployment of one of the most elite rapid-response forces in the United States military, the 82nd Airborne Division. This is not a symbolic move or a small advisory presence."

"We will, eventually, get a negotiated settlement with Iran. There will be no change of the Iranian regime, nor unconditional surrender. Which means that President Trump will have failed to achieve his primary war aims."

"He’s about to wind down and exit because he doesn’t give a damn about anything except maintaining his wealth and power — and the war is now costing him both.
It’s hurting his financial backers in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar — whose wealth has been seriously diminished by the war and whose vulnerability has been exposed."

"The Iran conflict has been sold to the public as a story with a clear objective, to stop their nuclear program, punish its proxies, restore deterrence, and then, by magic, stability reigns. But when you dig deeper, you don’t find a coherent plan; you find a chaotic conflict with no endgame. There is no path toward resolution, but rather an endless catastrophe."

The Washington Post is taking things seriously tonight. Here is their headline:
“Trump threats, U.S. troop build-up raise specter of battle for Hormuz.”
It’s not boots on the ground. It’s blood on the ground. At the whim of one man, the blood of thousands has already been spilled. No matter who it belongs to, all blood is precious."
