This is the kind of journalist an editor yearns for at a time like this: A Persian-fluent reporter w/ deep experience covering Iranian politics and policies.
She used to work at the Washpost.
Then Bezos dismantled the international coverage.
Now she’s at the NYT

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Then refused to save the drowning
Exclusive: US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on February 28 but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation reut.rs/40b19JN
If this is true, that the Iranian vessel was returning from an international exercise with other countries INCLUDING the United States - and was thus unarmed - & that the US did not make efforts to rescue the crew, that makes Hegseth the "Secretary of War Crimes"

Israel may genuinely not give a shit about global energy prices vs the chance to collapse the Iranian state (hence the reports of attacks on water infrastructure now).
The US, OTOH, cares a GREAT DEAL about energy prices and a functioning global economy.
Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.
He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere — not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.
Spanish 🇪🇸 assembly member politician openly called out US and Israel for attack on Iranian kids
"You can't be defending the rights of women by killing and celebrating deaths of 160 kids. I oppose Trump and Netanyahu" 🔥

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."
Nope. He suffered an illness that affected his brain. Now he does not appear fit to serve; he can’t even properly speak to the press in short full sentences.
Pennsylvanians are well aware of what we are stuck with!!! He said he won't resign.
If you want to throw your influence around, make sure Democrat leadership FULLY UNDERSTANDS that a primary candidate needs to run against him in 2028!!
He also had a brain illness. When voters elect a candidate for office under one party and then his personality changes and he now works for the opposition, where is the accountability?
And why are there no professional journalists making hay investigating this story?
They are without a moral compass. They had a submarine go into international Waters off the coast of Sri Lanka and take out an Iranian boat participating in an regional international exercise.
Violating the rules of engagement; an odious, cowardly and shameful order for our disciplined US Navy.
I feel like the one thing most everyone can agree on is that nothing Trump and Hegseth say can be trusted, from casualty figures to claims that Iran is begging for a negotiation, from the prospective timeline of the war to whether either man gives a shit about the Iranian people
As Iranian missiles streak across the UAE skies, “influencers” paid for by the regime have been posting near identical messages—they feel totally safe and have absolute confidence in Dubai’s future.
Also: any influencer who criticises Dubai's government risks large fines, jail or visa revocation
The competition for the dumbest member of the United States Senate has just heated up with the elimination of one its strongest contestants!!
Politicians are there to help the people of their country. As you can see, that is not happening. So…..this is what you have instead. You must stop him. Now.
“You’re a U.S. senator!”
Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽
This should go great
👇👇
History will remember Kristi Noem for her corruption and the sheer cruelty & chaos she unleashed on our streets.
Good riddance, but Congress should not tolerate more of the same from whoever comes next.
We need accountability and reform for ICE and Border Patrol.
This is actually a twofer. Firing #KristiNoem also means firing Corey Lewandowski at #DHS.
Replacing them both with an equally dumb corrupt weirdo, means the #ICE killings and cruelty will remain the same.
Kristi Noem is out. But Democrats' fight to rein in ICE continues.
I'm challenging Congresswoman Clark because she will not fight to Abolish ICE or stop funding ICE. She's not serious about getting to the root of these problems. Instead, she insults your intelligence by pretending these reforms will stop the violence.
We need a bold vision. Not empty rhetoric.
Emmanuel Damas died at ICE's Florence, AZ Detention Center — at least the tenth person to die in DHS custody this year.
I spoke with Emmanuel's brother this morning to offer my condolences. His family deserves answers & accountability, and I won't stop pushing until they get it.
ICE arrested Nashville journalist without warrant, attorneys say
🤬🤬🤬🤬

Tr*mp didn’t fire Kristi Noem because she had 100 people killed in a flood. Not because Americans were murdered by ICE. Not fot arresting legal permanent residents and US citizens. Not for keeping children in fetid, rancid concentration camps.
Tr*mp fired her because she made him “look bad.”
