Workers in the US have more in common with workers in Iran than with their own billionaires and politicians.
Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Seems troubling.
More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

So far weβve heard 12 different primary reasons for the war, 7 different main objectives, and 5 different exit strategies.
A PM under an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes backed by a U.S. president who tried to overturn an election, killed the Iranian supreme leader / dictator.
Iran now bomb 4 authoritarian countries: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain.
And weβre told democracy will come out of this.
I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Marylandβs families and communities.
I served in Afghanistan and Iβve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.
