The use of starvation as a weapon against civilians is a war crime under Article 54 of the Geneva Convention. It's a war crime when Saudi Arabia does it in Yemen. It's a war crime when Israel does it in Gaza. And American military aid to Israel facilitates that war crime.

Chilling words from Israeli Defence Minister: “As of now No electricity, no food, no fuel for Gaza .”

- One bombed hospital might be a horrible mistake - Two bombed hospitals are undeniably crimes against humanity - More than a hundred bombed hospitals is the work of the most effective and barbaric terrorist organization the world has ever seen.

@Glenn_Diesen But every time he makes a threat like that he will go after infrastructure if they don't open the Strait, he makes it harder to back down without forcing it open. And forcing it open would inevitably drive up casualties making it hard to declare victory w/o regime change.

@Glenn_Diesen Trump could publicly commit not to re-invade buying them time to rebuild or could sign a deal guaranteed by Russia/China. And he could pitch it to the public and say he decapitated the old regime responsible for killing soldiers in Iraq and got a better nuclear deal than Obama.

Trump cannot declare "victory" without opening the Strait of Hormuz. The US is building up it's troops levels as its desperation grows.

@RhondaGarad It also never made any sense for Iran to launch missiles at Diego Garcia and deny doing it. It's not like the missiles could destroy the base. If they had launched them, the whole point would be to do it as an intentional display of a new capability which requires taking credit.

Update Diego Garcia: Further info shows the most likely scenario is that NO missiles were fired on or near Diego Garcia. No credible satellite, radar, video or debris has been released to show any missiles were fired at or near Diego Garcia—only claims from unnamed US officials first made by Reuters and repeated. Iran denies it. UK and in-depth investigation disputes Iran has missile capability beyond 2-3k. Looks like a nothing burger started by unnamed US Govt sources and just repeated without critical examination.

The Trump admin is asking for $200B more to fund the war in Iran. Here's what we could do with that money for Americans struggling in this economy instead.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

$200 billion would pay for free college for every American, $10 day childcare, 1000 new trade schools, the 40% federal share of special needs education and a lot more. What are we even doing here? MAGA is now Iran first?

NEW: “Israel's defense minister said he ordered ‘an acceleration in the destruction of Lebanese homes in contact-line villages...in accordance with the model of Beit Hanun and Rafah in Gaza.’” That’s an open admission of intent to commit ethnic cleansing. jpost.com/israel-news/de…

CNN reports Israel is dropping massive bombs directly on residential buildings in eastern Tehran. The blasts are so powerful they are leveling entire apartment blocks and severely damaging surrounding civilian neighborhoods. Absolute war crimes.

No Kings is planning 3000-events on 3/28 and its 1700-word press release makes zero mention of Iran, only opaque mentions of “illegal wars” (which ones?) I like many of the orgs involved but what’s the utility of these generic “anti-authoritarian” word salads at this moment

Kharg Island is 500 miles *past* the Strait of Hormuz and only 15 miles from Iran's coast. Iran war boosters don't want to you to think about what that would mean for US troops ordered to land there: @RStatecraft responsiblestatecraft.org/kharg-island-i…
