💢📰 REPORT | New reporting from NYT reveals how Trump decided to go to war with Iran — after a closed-door Israeli pitch and despite deep internal divisions inside his own team. At a secret Feb. 11 Situation Room meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a four-part pitch for regime change, including a video montage of potential replacement leaders such as Reza Pahlavi. JD Vance was absent, stuck in Azerbaijan. Appearing alongside Mossad chief David Barnea and military officials, Netanyahu argued: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in weeks. The regime would be too weak to close the Strait of Hormuz. Street protests — fomented with Mossad help — could trigger an uprising. Kurdish fighters from Iraq could open a ground front in the northwest. Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” Trump’s response: “Sounds good to me.” The next day, U.S. intelligence pushed back sharply. CIA Director John Ratcliffe called the regime-change scenario “farcical,” with Secretary of State Marco Rubio adding: “In other words, it’s bullshit.” Gen. Dan Caine told the president: “This is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They oversell, and their plans are not always well-developed.” Trump dismissed regime change as “their problem” — but remained focused on targeting Iran’s leadership and military. By Feb. 26, in a final Situation Room meeting, opposition inside the room was clear but fractured. Vice President JD Vance warned the war could spiral and drain U.S. resources, but ultimately said: “You know I think this is a bad idea… but I’ll support you.” Rubio said regime change was unrealistic, but destroying Iran’s missile program was achievable. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was the biggest proponent of war and backed immediate action. Military leadership outlined risks, including depleted munitions and the threat to Hormuz, but all stopped short of opposing the plan. Key officials responsible for managing the fallout, like the Treasury Secretary, and DNI Gabbard were notably absent. Trump went around the table asking advisors their view, then made the call: “I think we need to do it.” The strikes began two days later.

@JaneMayerNYer More importantly, mental healthcare professionals warned about this danger 10 years ago based on Trump’s psychopathology.

@MaartenDevant Ja, zeker leuke meubelen. Denk eigenlijk niet dat dit een foto van een huiskamer is maar van een zaak die dit soort tweedehands meubelen verkoopt. Amerikaans antiek of hoe moet ik dat verwoorden.

The Eisenheim altarpiece has perhaps the most unsettling image of the crucifixion in all of western art (with the possible exception of the very similar Karlsruhe altarpiece), as well as one of the most startling images of the resurrection -- an arresting contrast!

This is one of the oldest churches in Kherson, built in 1780 by Greek settlers. Targeted by terrorist country Russia during time when all catholic and protestant Christians celebrate Easter and we Christians in Ukraine start our holly week leading towards our eastern tradition Easter on Apr 12. We pray for our brothers and sisters in Kherson, city that suffers from daily attacks from russian aggressors. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5 Russia must loose and all be held responsible for their crimes!

BREAKING: Israeli settlers attacked the Christian town of Beit Sahour after attempting to establish an illegal outpost on the town's land, firing stun grenades at residents and terrorizing the entire community. The Israeli army arrived and arrested a boy and his father — instead of arresting the settlers who carried out the attack. The Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, Bishop Imad Haddad, issued a statement demanding the release of Amir Jamal Al-Darawi, a 12th-grade student at the Evangelical Lutheran School in Beit Sahour, and his father, who are being detained by the Israeli military. The Christian town of Beit Sahour is under constant attacks by settlers after they established an illegal outpost on the town's land. savewestbankchristians.com

The heroic rescue story in Iran has a strong Jessica Lynch-vibe about it.
