@ianbremmer What should a sovereign state do if their head of state, their deputies, and their deputies were bombed in the middle of negotiations?

first serious iran statement by core us allies, committing to “contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the strait.”
very welcome. let’s see what it amounts to.
UK Prime Minister@10DowningStreet
Together with our allies, we condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

Israel says it is bombing bridges to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines.
But on the ground the reality is stark: entire routes into southern Lebanon are being severed — effectively cutting off around 1 million people from their homes.
Families who have lived on this land for generations now face the very real risk of permanent displacement, unable to return, rebuild, or even reach what remains of their communities.
What is being framed as a military tactic is also reshaping the map of civilian life

@teortaxesTex And the nerds will do what, exactly? They haven't done squat as their allies one after the other have fallen like flies.

man, if Iranians detected and mission killed an F-35 without some asinine non-reproducible one-off trickery, this must be the biggest American loss in this war (SO FAR). China will study the method and scale it up. Buh-bye Aerospace Republic.
I am in disbelief.

@teortaxesTex The brief visible damage ironically makes me think this might be legit. With engine and control surfaces intact, it's not out of the question that it could cruise out. Of note, she looks in full afterburner before the hit, clear Mach disks. Running hard. I think they knew.

Jeffery Sachs: “Israel's doctrine is kill its adversaries. Kill them in mass numbers, kill the civilians, kill the women, kill the children. They don't discriminate between civilians and military targets. They leveled Gaza... It is a rogue, brutal regime...”

Afghanistan/Pakistan: “The Pakistani authorities must now explain what information they acted upon, and steps taken for verification. They must also carry out an independent, impartial and timely investigation into the circumstances of this strike and the resulting civilian casualties, with the results made public with a view to ensuring accountability." amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Iranian moderates tried for years to get sanction relief through all sorts fraternization schemes, covert sit-downs w/US diplomats, technically complex agreements, with little succeess.

Haven't seen enough IR footage to determine whether this is legit footage of the F-35 that was damaged.

Iran’s IRGC released a footage reportedly showing U.S. F-35 jet being hit over Iran. Note that we can’t independently confirm the authenticity of the footage.

More confirmation of Persian Gulf countries using their territory to stage attacks against Iran. What was the plan here exactly?
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
U.S. missiles that hit Iran likely were fired from Gulf countries that have taken the brunt of Iranian drone and missile attacks—although none acknowledges allowing use of their land or airspace on.wsj.com/4rLLyvx

One uncomfortable observation is that the Iranian official representatives speak more coherently, truthfully & sensibly than Trump & Hegseth.
This is by no means a support of the Iranian autocratic theocracy, but an observation of the immense fall of the US under Trump.

Meanwhile, hardcore liberals like Slavoj Zizek blamed the Bhagavad Gita for the Holocaust.
He didn't blame 2000 years of anti-Semitism in Christian society
He chose to blame Hindus
But no liberal objected to that

Intentions are what truly matter. Nolan quoted the Bhagavad Gita to convey Oppenheimer’s remorse over creating the nuclear bomb, while Aditya Dhar used the Gita quote to stir anger among people. Similarly, films like Swades, Lagaan, and The Legend of Bhagat Singh referenced religious texts, but their purpose was never to provoke anger.

Almost three weeks into the war, Iran has carried out several dozen strikes on the critical energy infrastructure of all GCC countries and Israel, while its own oil and gas industry has remained largely unscathed (with the exception of part of the South Pars field that Israel hit yesterday.) The U.S. is now considering lifting sanctions on shipborne Iranian crude. The asymmetry of fear so far is clearly in Tehran’s favor.
