How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.

But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made β€œlethality” a top priority.

its donald trump forbidding iran from mining the strait of hormuz forthwith

I do not give the IRGC or any entities associated with Iran permission to mine the Strait of Hormuz. With this statement I give notice to the IRGC it is strictly forbidden to mine the Strait. The violation of ukase can be punished by law (UCC 1308 11 308103 and the Rome Statute).

I guess it means he found out from TV, which means they're not briefing him about it so it's probably not going on

No he’s done just enough to survive this year. He’s handled all the injuries well. Still not the right guy imo and he’ll continue to be at risk next year

I used to think there was only one really genuinely good dead college coach, Dean Smith, but now that Lou Holtz is gone, there is still only one genuinely good dead college coach

With 95% of precincts reporting, Phil Berger still losing to Sam Page.

A victory by Page changes the nature of NC politics, period.

RACE CALL:

All three North Carolina Democrats (Shelly Willingham, Nasif Majeed, & Carla Cunningham) who voted to overturn Governor Josh Stein's vetoes have LOST their respective Democratic primaries

North Carolina Republicans have only needed a single Democratic defection in the state House to override the Democratic governor’s vetoes this term.

One unreliable Dem already resigned in disgrace a while back. Another 2-3 losing their primaries is a big deal

Prediction: this Duke team will give UNC its worst beating in Cameron Indoor since beating UNC’s NIT-bound team by 32 in 2010. That Duke team won the NCAA championship.
