The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

WORD FACT

While today it can refer to any feeling of illness or discomfort, “nausea” originally referred specifically to seasickness.

This explains its similarity to the word “nautical”: both words ultimately come from Greek “naus”, meaning “ship”.

Excellent NYT video analysis finds that the bombing of scores of schoolchildren in Iran came amid other US strikes in the vicinity:

Finished this monster. What can I say? A modernist masterpiece that belongs to the same shelf as The Magic Mountain, The Death of Virgil, and Berlin Alexanderplatz. A decadent baroque symphony of a novel. Unjustly neglected. Its reputation will continue to grow.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

Ugh there’s hardly any safe pathways!

Pacific route?

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

Killing people far from any conflict, no matter whether or not they may get involved - is murder, and, literally, terrorism.
