If we wake up and find Trump unleashed devastation, Labour’s silence will be absolutely damning.
If Trump has beyond hopefully de-escalated, it’s still damning.
In the face of genocide, what exactly is the point of the silent UK Prime Minister?

China doesn't think the resolution is balanced. It doesn't even touch upon the root cause of the situation, but instead only accuses #Iran in a very unbalanced manner.
In particular, the timing is very bad. We have all heard what the US President has said. Against this background, we think it is extremely dangerous for the Security Council to adopt a resolution like this.

It's astonishing that you, a world leader who many respected for standing up to an illegal attack on your country, now support an illegal attack on another country. It completely kills your credibility.
Right now. Iran is Ukraine. You may not like to hear that but that is a fact
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation. We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction. Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade. Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace. Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country. Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.

Clinton bombed Serbia's power plants for 78 days. Obama destroyed ISIS oil infrastructure serving millions. Neither faced war crime charges.
Now the same media calls Trump's possible Iran strikes a war crime? The legal standard tells a very different story.

There is no military objective that justifies the wholesale destruction of a society's infrastructure or the deliberate infliction of suffering on civilian populations.

@MaxBlumenthal It is surprising how the Iranians only let the rest of the world see what they want. Why don t they allow free access to the internet and everybody to express themselves?

A middle-aged @usairforce colonel went through a shoot down and a parachute drop, was severely injured, treated his own wounds, ran five miles in enemy territory, climbed a 7,000-foot mountain, radioed the proclamation, "God is good," and then holed up in a crevice in near-freezing temperatures for two days while his brothers and sisters came to rescue him. That's America; that's the American military; that's the United States Air Force.

@AdHaque110 Since when anyone takes what Trump says literally? Or you don t have enough experience?

All States must act now to stop this.
Soldiers must refuse unlawful orders.
Members of Congress must call for impeachment and removal.
Every American who loves their country must speak out.
Enough is enough.

There is no evidence that the Iranian state killed tens of thousands of protesters.
The latest confirmed death statistics, according to Human Rights Activists of Iran, are:
6,724 protesters, including 236 children
214 government forces
67 non-protester civilians
There could be others that haven't been confirmed. But nothing like the tens of thousands we keep hearing.
To be clear: the Iranian state clearly committed grave crimes, and the death toll is hideous enough.
It's also clear that some protesters engaged in armed warfare. Trump has claimed the US sought to arm protesters.
But there isn't evidence to substantiate the claims of tens of thousands, a figure which has been used to justify an illegal war in which the US is threatening to literally destroy the country.
For clarity: Human Rights Activists of Iran are a dissident group founded by an Iranian prisoner of conscience.
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani
The claim is that the Iranian government killed more protestors in two days than the British army suffered casualties at the Battle of the Somme in a month. Really? It’s quite obvious why anyone would say that: to legitimate killing thousands & creating a failed state.

@tedlieu @1zzyzyx1 @thejointstaff The only thing democrats know how to do is prosecute….Why don t you propose an alternative or a way out?
English
Dear @thejointstaff: The UCMJ and federal law prohibit war crimes.
Striking civilian infrastructure that causes disproportionate civilian harm constitutes war crimes.
You will disobey those illegal orders.
If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.

WATCH: I asked Trump whether any civilian targets are off limits in Iran. He responded with his strongest threats yet. Trump told me "very little is off limit" and said he has a military plan where "every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again" if his deadline is not met. @politico

Como cliente de varios bancos, entre ellos @Revolut, creo que los bancos "tradicionales" españoles deberían hacerse mirar el tema de sus apps. Cada vez más importantes y cada vez peores. No es un tema de desarrollo porque me consta que sus devs hacen lo mejor que pueden con lo que tienen... el problema es que quien define los procesos, las apps, su diseño, su UI/UX, quien toma las decisiones arquitectónicas, de sistema, lenguajes, infraestructura... no tiene ni idea de lo que necesita un cliente. La hacen pensando en ellos mismos y no en clientes que las usan. La app de Revolut es perfecta porque hace lo que tiene que hacer, en pocos pasos, simples, rápidos, eficientes, bien diseñada, con su accesibilidad completa en su ficha en el App Store... La mejor manera de crecer es ofrecer a los clientes lo que quieren de la mejor manera. Y las apps de banca, de media, no lo hacen.

Chinese audiences liked Mearsheimer for one reason: he stripped away the moral costume.
He did not say the US contains China because China is evil.
He said the US contains China because China is rising.
That is ugly, but it is honest.
What changed in just 3 months is that even this cold realist framework now feels outdated.
Trump’s Iran escalation, Khamenei’s killing, the Hormuz shock, allied hesitation, domestic breakdown, and falling global approval all point to the same thing:
the problem is no longer just American hegemony.
It is American instability.
Mearsheimer explained the empire.
Reality has moved on to explaining its unraveling.

Sharif University is Iran’s MIT. They’ve produced a huge number of engineers who’ve gone on to Silicon Valley and founded some of the most successful American tech companies.
Why are we bombing a university in a city of 10 million people?
Omid Memarian@Omid_M
Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, one of Iran’s top science and engineering institutions, was bombed tonight, and a number of schools reportedly damaged. Founded in 1966 (as Aryamehr University), Sharif is a cornerstone of Iran’s scientific and academic life. Striking and destroying universities and schools is not just an attack on buildings,it is an attack on a country’s future.

1) Trump is being driven insane by his inability to defeat Iran.
2) This is a threat to commit unspeakable war crimes.
3) If he does this, Iran will target energy and water desalination infrastructure in the Gulf, triggering a global depression.

Our signal to the United States and countries in the Middle East about the Strait of Hormuz was that we were open to discussing it.
As of today, I don't see any country lifting the blockade on its own, only joint steps can bring results. Ukraine has experience with launching the Grain Corridor in the Black Sea despite Russia’s attempts to block the flow of food and other goods. The situation now is similar, but it is about energy.
Our suggestion – based on our experience – was as follows. The war and the negotiations on reopening the Hormuz Strait can go in parallel. It’s worth trying to find a diplomatic solution, and this could be beneficial for both sides in the war.
An alternative step would be to control the Strait unilaterally, as Ukraine did with the Grain Corridor. Achieving this would require interceptors, military convoys to escort the vessels, a large integrated electronic warfare network, and other tools. We stand ready to help with this.
But for now, we are not yet involved. So far, no one has made such a request. We are simply sharing our knowledge. If one day our partners want to make use of it, we would be ready.
