The Gulf countries are withdrawing their sovereign wealth fund investments. Given that the US is a major recipient, this could be a signal of sorts.
An adviser to a Gulf government said the prospect of an investment review by the wealthy states had caught the White House’s attention. They manage some of the world’s largest and most active sovereign wealth funds, and Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar last year pledged to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the US after President Donald Trump visited the region. They are also big backers of sporting events around the world and have all been investing heavily domestically to develop their nations and diversify their economies. Any move that affects investments in the US or other western states may raise the pressure on Trump to seek a diplomatic strategy to bring the war to an end."
Interesting.

The most familiar emblem of Tehran.
Because chaos and resultant destruction and de-development of the region are in the interest of the US and its shitty little settler colony?
This is so accurate in many ways, but I would add that the true animating core of the american volk is both shopping and an unwarranted feeling of superiority (towards racialised people at home and abroad) arising from a deep sense of inferiority.
As the Kurds who had depended on US support, were betrayed and massacred in their thousands in the 70s, Kissinger famously dismissed the deaths: "covert action should not be confused with missionary work."
The oral histories of Palestinians who survived the slaughter by the Yishuv has borne witness to this bloodshed for decades, and the archival material now catches up.
I love the Palestinian poet flying hope's flag.
Really heartbroken for the tax-evading smug racist private jet fliers stranded in Dubai.

Reform are basically warmongering pricks and even they oppose the war in the main.

Iranian scholar friends, who would like to have their name passed on to media outlets (print or air)?
"A veil burned in Tehran was a cry against state coercion—a fire aimed upward at power. A veil burned in the Dutch parliament in the name of solidarity with Iranian women protesters became a spectacle of state authority—a fire aimed downward at Muslim women."

Geopolitics, Representation, and Solidarity Nazanin Shahrokni March 2, 2026 doi.org/10.63478/3O220ECL Prefatory Note (March 2026) This article was completed several weeks before the ongoing US and Israeli military strikes on Iran, which began while nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States were still underway. Shortly before the attacks, the Omani foreign minister—long a trusted intermediary—publicly indicated that talks had reached an advanced stage, with major concessions under discussion. Military action thus began not after the exhaustion of diplomacy, but in its midst. The strikes immediately widened the confrontation: within hours, Iran launched missiles toward US bases in Gulf Cooperation Council countries, carrying out retaliatory actions it had repeatedly warned would follow any direct attack. The escalation did not remain confined to military installations but extended into densely inhabited urban centers. Coordinated US and Israeli aerial attacks struck Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and several other cities, bringing the war directly into the civilian landscapes in which everyday life unfolds. Officials in Washington and Tel Aviv justified the operation in the language of “helping” the Iranian people even as bombs fell across major cities. Among the most widely mourned casualties are schoolgirls in the southern city of Minab, killed when a missile struck near their school. Their deaths exemplify a broader reality: wars described in military briefings as “targeted” or “precise” nonetheless unfold across inhabited environments where civilian life cannot be disentangled from the objects of military force. What doctrine names precision often appears, from the ground, as the conversion of civilian life into what is bureaucratically termed “collateral damage.” The strikes culminated in the killing of S…

"On Sunday, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that an Iranian drone struck an apartment inhabited by Israelis in Abu Dhabi near the Israeli embassy." i.e. intel personnel.

The Pentagon is putting the responsibility on Trump.
The US spent a lot of it's munitions defending Israel last year... Can it run out of munitions?

The princeling's father on women.
Look up MERIP. They should have good short pieces. Or Jadaliyya.
The Pahlavi princeling so desperately wishes he had a Nobel Prize (like Machado) which he could give to Trump grovelingly.
So Netanyahu is sheltering in Berlin?
