Israel is dropping 2,000lb bombs in residential districts in Tehran. "40-50 people" killed in a single strike, local authorities and residents told BBC. The Israeli military says 3,600 bombs dropped on the Iranian capital alone. bbc.com/news/articles/…

This is horrifying. Paramedics in South Lebanon are forced to choose between saving lives or staying alive. They can’t rush to emergency scenes to avoid Israeli double-tap strikes. Israel is hunting rescuers for doing their job. This is a war crime.

Personally, if I didn’t want protesters outside my house of worship, I would probably not auction off other people’s land inside my house of worship.

It’s very curious that the people who spent years warning about “escalation and nuclear war” to argue Ukraine needs to surrender to Russia are not making the same arguments about how Iran must capitulate to an aggressive, nuclear-armed America in the name of peace.

@PawlowskiMario Switzerland ordered some Tomahawks years ago. Now the US said they can't deliver them. So Switzerland said then we won't pay. The US have now seized the funds we paid for the F-35s (which we probably won't get as well) instead. srf.ch/news/schweiz/z…

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. Barksdale is the HQ for our B52 nuclear bombers, it's where Bush sheltered on 9/11, and the drones are reported as "far more sophisticated than anything seen in Ukraine ... and well beyond Iranian capabilities."

@MartinSauerbrey Trump admin definitely hopes to help Orban stay in power and then import some of the tactics that worked best to then use in the US midterms.

The US signed the Budapest memorandum in 1994 which guaranteed Ukraine’s sovereignty in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons. Ukraine is exactly the US’s war
Clash Report@clashreport

Trump: I heard the head of Germany say, “This is not our war” for Iran. I said, well, Ukraine is not our war—we helped. I thought it was a very inappropriate statement to make, but he made it, and he can’t erase it.

Israel’s military says it needs more soldiers as its invasion in southern Lebanon deepens, part of a push to impose a so-called buffer zone along the border. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/sbhoao

This is a feature of Trump-Israeli warfare that doesn't get enough attention. It's dishonorable & extreme even by the conventional standards of premodern warfare.
Philippe Lemoine@phl43

The fact that Israel and the US are killing civilian officials is already crazy enough, but I don't think people realize how utterly insane it is that Israel even put Aragchi, a diplomat, on a kill list. Even Attila and Gengis Khan respected the immunity of diplomats.
