Patrick Wintour O @patrickwintour X.com Trump has given Israel roughly a week to show that it can bring home regime change in Iran. According to Kayhan London "Israeli micro-drones and UAVs began targeting IRGC, Basij, and Law Enforcement checkpoints in several cities including Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and Shiraz. "Under conditions where keeping streets under control is a key element for preserving the survival of the entire regime, targeting the suppressors at checkpoints is in fact a strike against the last protective shields of the Islamic Republic." The death toll is likely to be high. This is Netanyahu's best and probably last chance to fulfil a decades long plan to destroy the regime. He knows he is working against a clock and the oil price.
Well, that’s nice and clear, isn’t it: they’re letting the Israelis dangle for this one. And it’s hard to have sympathy, not least because this is carte blanche to blast fuck out of whoever and whatever they want, under the increasingly wonky US protective shield.
If we would have started the move towards renewables back when President Carter put solar on the roof of the White House, we wouldn't be concerned about the price of gas today. But, no, they had to go and elect a TV-cowboy.
Measles like HIV is a rare immune system damaging virus.
Not only does catching Measles make you more likely to catch Measles again, it also reduces your protection against every other disease.
Including diseases you 'used' to be immune to.
Israel says it is dismissing charges against five soldiers accused of sexually abusing a young Palestinian.
Shell CEO’s pay jumps 60% to £13.8m. Did yours?
Execs rewarded for profiteering.
Average real pay for workers hardly changed since 2008.
Govts claim worker pay rises are inflationary, but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buyback and corporate tax abuses.

We are seeing the deadly cost of cronyism.
The Witkoff-Kushner duo is corrupt, unprofessional, and entirely out of its depth.
It is beyond insane that they are allowed near serious negotiations.
Thanks to their failure, they have tons of blood on their hands

Iran strikes are attempt to hijack the global narrative and drown out Epstein and tariffs with the thunder of cruise missiles.

This is from 1975.

Reuters News flash noting that Iran will not be able to participate in the World Cup after U.S. airstrikes.
Iran won’t be permitted to compete in the World Cup, but the two countries that attacked them unprovoked will be. That’s just so 2026! 🤷♂️

Tice is a weapons-grade moron.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
