Vor Krieg fliehen, vom Iran in die Türkei, gehört zu elementaren Menschenrechten. Findet EU-Kommissar Brunner (ÖVP) wirklich das Gegenteil gut? Hoffentlich nicht, aber die Geisteshaltung ist übel.

The view of Tehran’s skyline overnight on Sunday was apocalyptic: Billowing smoke and towering oil fires turned the horizon orange as Israeli strikes ignited fuel depots outside the Iranian capital. By morning, dark, oily smoke hung over the city. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

Furchtbare Szenen in Teheran gestern Nacht. Das israelische Militär hat kritische Infrastruktur in der Stadt bombardiert.

Menschen, die versucht haben Richtung Norden zu fliehen, konnten das wegen der Rauchentwicklung und dem Chaos nicht.

Iran’s 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.

Trump team bashed Europe for a year. Now he wants support in war on Iran. European leaders are ramping up their response to the crisis spreading outside Iran but remain wary of a conflict that could have untold ramifications.

President Trump’s administration spent the past year dismissing Europeans as pathetic and irrelevant. Now, as he wages a war alongside Israel to force regime change in Iran, he wants Europe to cheer him on.

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

He has no clue what he’s doing in Iran. [Cartoon by Brendan Loper]

The No-Explanation War The Trump Administration has decided that it need not make a case for military action. In the current media environment, that approach makes a disturbing kind of sense.
