Israeli military spokespeople are claiming one of the senior Lebanese journalists killed in a drone strike today was ‘an aggressor, a threatener, an instigator, and a provocateur’. Leb President has pointed out disagreements with journos do not justify assassinating them under int laws

In the dramatic circumstances of war, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda. It is every journalist's duty to verify the news, so as not to become a megaphone for power. They must show the suffering that war always brings to populations, which entails showing the face of war and recounting it through the eyes of victims.

Unreal... The man literally breaks the global energy supply, directly affecting the lives of billions of people and then is like "wait, should we even be there? It's not our problem after all." The level of thoughtlessness and hubris is genuinely off the charts.

Trump: "Maybe we shouldn't be there at all. We have a lot of oil." Trump says other countries should protect the Strait because "we have a lot of oil." After starting a war, disrupting global oil - he's now asking why the US is even there

Governments threatening journalists in wartime is not new, but in the country that wrote the First Amendment it’s pretty depressing.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

@FreddieOos2285 @ZeldalaGrangeSA Well Turkey, as a member of Nato, already has US nukes. I don’t think Iran should have nukes, but neither should Israel. And insulting an entite religion because Hegseth and co are right wing Christian nuts, should also disqualify them from having access to nukes…

The issue with regards to Iran getting Nuclear weapons is that the Saudis will then want one as they are Irans gravest enemy. If they get one then the Turks will want one and then the Egyptians will want one and so on and so forth. Quickly you have a nuclearised middle east in a region that has a significant problem with islamic fundamentalist groups and so forth. That being saod the threat does not explicitly resonate from Iran or from "prophetic muslim delusions" i think he misses the point completely and so does Teump most likely.

That’s the way it is. They give orders from a beach club, some other Americans die in a desert. They make money off the government, everyone else owes more. They get away with crimes, and the people who protest them get arrested and even killed. And on and on. The way it is.

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

In attacking Iran, President Trump “is telling the American people and the world that he expects their blind trust. He has not earned that trust,” writes the editorial board. nyti.ms/46z5ry9

Well I guess thats the end of the 'Bored' of Peace then. They are about to dump the entire world into recess. Yes even the armchair critics will feel this eventually. Those who called for this are not immune to its worldwide effect. Good luck hey! #Iran #Israel

We have just gone to war with Iran without any serious public debate, without any authorization from Congress, without even an explanation from the US president as to why we just went to war. Hope it all works out. Fear that it will not.
