Even taking Trump’s confused reasons for the Iran war at face value, it’s still a total disaster | Jonathan Freedland Two weeks in, it’s increasingly clear that the US-led war has taken every problem it aimed to solve – and made it worse, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Trump`s White House releases war-porn videos that mix chest-beating clips from the movies, computer game imagery and genuine footage of destruction – and which are sickening to behold.

“Planning around preventing this exact scenario — impossible as it has long seemed — has been a bedrock principle of US national security policy for decades,” a former US official who served in Republican and Democratic administrations said. “I’m dumbfounded.”

What makes Trump think anyone is in a rush to do business with him? Anyone of sound mind wants to see the back of him.

Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

New in PN: Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss

"The evident fact is that the president is completely nuts, and that he’s 'governing' the country — and has now taken the US to war — based on his impulses alone, without even the pretense of a strategy or goal."

Iran’s Control of Hormuz Means It’s Exporting More Oil Today Than Before the War Tehran is letting ships carrying its crude pass through the strait, while it scares off others that would dare.

As a direct result of Trump's ill-conceived war on Iran, oil exports from Iran are going up. That's right: up, not down.

With Iran's IRGC in effective control of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, guess which ships are able to transit safely? Bingo! Those carrying Iranian crude off to China.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

This poem reflects on the basic things every child deserves—safety, education, and a normal day at school—and how the world fails when those simple protections disappear.

What the World Owes Children

A roof.
A desk.
A teacher
who says good morning.

A day that arrives
without fear.

Anything less than that
is a failure
we should never accept.

This poem is a personal reflection on how heavy the world can feel when you see suffering in the news, and the effort it takes to remember that kindness still exists.

A Thought I Had Today

Some days the world
feels heavier than it should.

You read the news,
close the screen,
and sit there a moment
trying to remember

that people are still capable
of kindness
even when history
forgets how.

This poem focuses on the quiet ways people help one another, reminding us that even when the world feels broken, ordinary people often step in to care for each other.

We’ll Be Okay

I’ve seen people
pull strangers from rivers.

I’ve seen neighbors
show up with food
when the lights went out.

The world breaks things,
that much is true—

but people
have always been
very good
at putting each other
back together.

This poem looks toward the future and reminds us that the world ultimately belongs to the next generation, encouraging hope that they will build something kinder than what came before.

What Comes Next

The future
has always belonged
to the children.

Not the generals.
Not the speeches.
Not the maps.

One day
they will inherit
all of this.

Let’s hope
they build something
kinder.

Children in schools should never be an acceptable cost of war.
Resist.

Thinking of the students and teachers at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ primary school.
Resist.

These poems are for them. 💙💙💙
