🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel bombed the mausoleum of Simon Peter, an apostle of Christ, to ruins (again) The ancient shrine is believed to hold the burial place of Saint Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ — in Southern Lebanon This marks the third time Israel has targeted the shrine, which dates to the 1st century CE

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports went into effect at 10AM. Here’s what that actually means in practice: When a U.S. Navy vessel intercepts a ship trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz, the options range from a radio warning to the bottom of the ocean: Option 1: Verbal warning to turn back Option 2: Board and seize the vessel Option 3: Warning shots across the bow Option 4: Sink the ship In 1962, JFK imposed a naval "quarantine" on Cuba, deliberately avoiding the word blockade because under international law a blockade is an act of war. The Soviets kept sailing toward the line. For 24 hours the world held its breath. Then the ships turned around. What made Cuba work: both sides had a back channel, neither wanted nuclear war, and Khrushchev had a face-saving exit What’s different now: Iran has declared any vessel approaching the strait a ceasefire violation, the IRGC claims full control of the waterway, and talks just collapsed The first vessel that tests the line will define everything, whether it turns back, gets boarded, or gets fired upon sets the rules for everything that follows JFK left room for diplomacy by calling it a quarantine. Trump has no qualms about calling this what it really is. Source: CNBC, CENTCOM

🇺🇸🇻🇦 By the way, Trump's response to the Pope included: "If I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican." He claimed credit for the Pope's election. Called him weak on crime. Said he prefers Leo's brother Louis because "Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't." The leader of the free world is beefing with the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics over a war the Pope is watching kill civilians in real time. And his main argument is that the Vatican owes him one.
