A massive chickenpox outbreak is spreading rapidly across Gaza’s crowded displaced families tents 20 day old Palestinian baby girl Tala Abu Ghali has contracted the disease while living with her family in an extremely hot tent with almost no basic necessities.

Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, was identified earlier today as one of the fatalities from last week’s Iranian ballistic missile strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Pvt. Gonzales was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air Missile Defense Command, based out of Ansbach, Germany.






"Why isn't Iran attacking Israel" During the first days of war, most missile/drones were being intercepted over Jordan, due to ADs deployed there, Radars in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia ... So i believe taking down the "Arab wall" first is a better strategy.


Finding this quite hard to stomach from a country that is bombing the shit out of other countries…



🎥 Crisis Group’s Ali Vaez asked why Iran would “sacrifice” a supposedly generous U.S. deal over control of the Strait of Hormuz, including a southern corridor handling at best 20% of traffic. Vali Nasr rejected the premise, arguing Tehran concluded early that Washington never intended to honor the MOU and was using it to catch its breath before another war. Nasr said Iran had expected another Israeli/U.S. round by October. Instead, it came much sooner. He identified four signals that convinced Tehran the MOU was never going to be implemented: 1️⃣ No money arrived. No frozen Iranian funds were released. Nasr said one person told him that if chief negotiator Qalibaf had returned from Doha with even $1 billion, “the conversation in Iran would have been very different.” Two months of oil waivers do little to change Iran’s economic position. 2️⃣ Lebanon showed Tehran the U.S. would not honor what it signed. Nasr said Washington agreed to provisions on Lebanon in the MOU, then almost immediately helped create conditions for Israel to operate there with the Lebanese government’s approval, effectively stripping Iran of leverage. 3️⃣ The U.S. began rebuilding for war immediately after signing. Military assets poured into the region in a pattern Tehran recognized from the buildup before February. Nasr said the rhetoric around diplomacy was simply not matched by what Iran was seeing militarily. 4️⃣ Washington began “whittling down” Iran’s control of Hormuz. Nasr stressed two separate moves: the U.S. encouraged tankers not to coordinate with Iran at all, then pushed them toward the southern channel. Iran drew the line. Washington responded with a massive escalation, targeting missile and drone batteries in an effort to take control of the strait out of its hands. 🔸Vali Nasr’s key point: Iran does not see this as a choice between economic benefits and Hormuz. In Tehran’s view, there were no economic benefits to “sacrifice” because Washington was never going to deliver them. And without control of Hormuz, Iran believes it has no leverage to force the U.S. to implement any future deal. As Nasr put it, control of the strait gives Iran a “sword of Damocles over the head of the global economy” that Tehran sees as “essential” to getting anything from Washington. @vali_nasr | @CrisisGroup




Jordan FM @AymanHsafadi denied publicly days ago that the US has a military base in Jordan,a line that has been repeated by other officials and government media. It’s not clear why Jordan keeps denying the existence of a US military base the US built with its own money,publicly.
