Important read about some of the lesser known dark motives behind the US attacks on Iran. So ironic that the US gov't accuses other countries of religious extremism while openly admitting it's waging a "Holy War". theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

People of Iran, we are praying for your safety. We are praying that the deranged lunatic in the White House is not allowed to destroy one of the world's oldest civilisations. God does not want this. No true Christian wants this. bbc.com/news/live/c5yw…

Of course I also feel bad for the thousands of people in Iran, Lebanon & Palestine being killed by US & Israel, but I know the Trump voters don’t care about those people. I do hope the Trump voters are changing their minds as their sons are being packed off to a pointless war.

I feel so bad for the American ground troops being forced into this pointless war, young men putting their lives at risk for a deranged president. Americans rise up and take back your country from this corrupt & violent regime!! The world is with you!! theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…
