“There is no thought process into what any of this means long term,” said one official. “It’s not coordinated regime change. It’s just ‘bomb them until they’re less of a threat.’”
Asked about the administration’s plan for Iran after the war, that official responded: “Whatever.”

Has there been a regime in recent memory that has terrorised so many people for such a long time?

My 89 yo Lebanese-Palestinian-Italian grandmother, who fled the Nakba in 48 as a child to Lebanon, has essentially never lived more than a few years at a time in nearly a century of existence without being impacted by Israeli state violence.
And then they call this 'crisis in the middle east.'

Thread - let’s stop pretending that there are no spaces left to build. There are loads.
Golf courses are monumental waste of resources while only benefiting a tiny fraction of the population.

Netanyahu shaking hands with Putin
It's amazing to me that there are still people who think they can be pro-Ukraine and pro-Israel at the same time. This is from Netanyahu's 2019 campaign, 5 years after Russia annexed Crimea. Keep on deluding yourselves that you can be moral on one cause and immoral on another.

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.

President Trump told Axios in an interview Thursday that he needs to be personally involved in selecting Iran's next leader — just as he was in Venezuela.
Trump revealed this exclusively in an eight-minute phone call — his second conversation with us to explain his war planning.
Why it matters: Trump confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei, is the most likely successor — while making clear he finds that outcome unacceptable.
For several days, the Iranian regime has postponed the announcement of the new supreme leader. But statements by Iranian politicians on Thursday suggested an announcement could be imminent.
What he's saying: "They are wasting their time. Khamenei's son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela," Trump said.
He added that he refuses to accept a new Iranian leader who would continue Khamenei's policies, which he said would force the U.S. back to war "in five years."
"Khamenei's son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran," Trump said.
The big picture: Trump's comments represent an extraordinary claim of American power over Iran's political future, adding to uncertainty over the massive U.S. military campaign he launched on Saturday.
The backdrop: Mojtaba Khamenei — the 56-year-old son of the assassinated supreme leader — has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed his father, though no formal announcement has been made.
A hardline cleric with deep ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Khamenei has never held public office.
Israel bombed the Iranian building in Qom housing the clerical body responsible for selecting Iran's next supreme leader on Tuesday, seeking to disrupt the vote-counting.
Between the lines: Trump compared the Iran succession to his intervention in Venezuela, where vice president Delcy Rodriguez took over after U.S. forces captured Nicolás Maduro in January.

So Trump is demanding he gets to pick the next Iranian leader while we're in the middle of a shooting war with them. Elsewhere, he also just told Channel 12 news in Israel that Herzog must pardon Netanyahu immediately, mid-war.

Palestinian refugee camps of Burj Barajneh and Sabra and Shatila are being evacuated
These are the people who fled the Nakba and their descendants
The same state, Israel, is the cause of both

There's a political firestorm in India about the fact that our Big Strong Heroic regime invited this unarmed ship from a former (?) allied state to our waters and then stood by and said nothing as Big Daddy USA blew it up. From the world's largest democracy to small fry nazi state on Empire's plate.

![An Iranian warship destroyed in a US torpedo strike on Wednesday was "defenceless" and participating in an international naval exercise as a guest of the Indian navy, according to reports.
Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal said “the Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk [sic] part in our Milan exercise”. Sibal added that because it was taking part in an exercise “it was defenceless”.
Indian politician Supriya Shrinate said on social media: "These Iranian navy men parading at an event in India, were our guests. Invited by us.
