I had a call with the Foreign Minister of Iran Abbas @araghchi . We discussed the situation in Iran and the spiralling escalation in the Middle East. Diplomatic solutions and de-escalation are urgently needed. I emphasized the need to end the strikes on neighbouring countries and restore freedom of navigation in the Strait Hormuz especially regarding the humanitarian aspect of global food security with a focus on fertilizers and other essential goods. Regarding the Iranian nuclear program Austria supports any diplomatic way forward that leads to a new agreement and full cooperation with the @iaeaorg . In times like this it is important to maintain dialogue.

"You don't hit schools, you don't hit energy sources, you don't hit bridges: those are war crimes." UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher criticises actions in the Iran war and says leaders have chosen 'game show gambling' over humanity by hitting civilian infrastructure.

NEW: In a remarkable interview set to air on CBS Easter morning, the conservative archbishop who leads Catholics serving in the U.S. military says the Trump-Vance White House's war against Iran is impermissible under Catholic teaching. Asked to respond to Pete Hegseth's claims that God is guiding the military effort, Archbishop Broglio said the war is not “sponsored by the Lord.” substack.com/home/post/p-19…

More on the bombing of the B1 bridge and the Stone Age. “The U.S. defense official told Axios the bridge was attacked because it was used by the Iranian armed forces to try to secretly move missiles and missile parts from Tehran to launch sites in Western Iran. “The official claimed the missile parts were sent in large boxes and crates across the bridge and assembled at the launch sites. “According to the official, the bridge was also used to send logistical support to Iranian military forces in Tehran. “A second defense official described it as a ‘planned military supply route for sustaining Iran's ballistic missile and attack drone force’ but did not say it was currently being used for those purposes.” The first official may be misinforming Axios since according to Ghodratollah Seif, the deputy governor of Alborz province, and many others, the bridge was not complete or yet being used. The second official is openly advocating attacks on all transport routes as legitimate since they are potential dual use targets. Who knows whether first official knowingly lied or the second official has read the Geneva Convention. Seven dead on a nearby picnic. Above all this is not the route to de-escalation.

Israel is blocking the entry of gauze and antibiotics into Gaza, causing severe shortages. Without these basic medical supplies, Palestinians have had to get preventable amputations due to the spread of infection on treatable wounds. #intcid=_wired-verso-hp-trending-bktb_2e335cc7-6617-46e6-b411-9081e3f0ddae_cygnus-personalized" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wired.com/story/gaza-war…

Karoline Leavitt: "Some of the previous leaders are now no longer on planet Earth because they lied to the United States and they strung us along in negotiations, and that was unacceptable to the president, which is why many of the previous leaders were killed"

BREAKING: The White House said US President Donald Trump would be interested in calling on Arab countries to help pay for the cost of the war.

SECRETARY RUBIO: We always prefer to settle things through diplomacy. But we also have to be prepared for the fact that effort might fail. We are dealing with a 47-year-old regime that still has a lot of people involved in it who aren't necessarily big fans of diplomacy or peace.

BREAKING President Trump tells the FT: — He wants to seize Iran’s oil: “To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran.” — Specifically considering taking Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub — Compares it to Venezuela, saying the U.S. could control oil there “indefinitely” — Trump claims Iran has no real defense there: “I don’t think they have any defence. We could take it very easily.” — Acknowledges it would require occupation: “It would also mean we had to be there for a while.” — Trump claims scale of bombing: “We’ve bombed 13,000 targets… we’ve got about 3,000 targets left.” — Claims “regime change” has effectively already happened — Describes new leadership as “a totally different group of people… very professional” FULL STORY: bit.ly/4lW8Hdr
