Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

What a shock. Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating in the war if if indirectly. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

There is absolutely zero explanation for hitting targets like this unless your objective is to destroy any possibility of normal life and produce mass civilian death. Completely unjustifiable and another war crime. We saw this thirty years ago in Iraq.

My colleague Nancy Youssef was at the Pentagon this morning, sitting just three rows from the podium. I asked her what the atmosphere was like after Hegseth’s heartless remark. She told me that his comments “sent a stunned silence through the briefing room.” Even members of Hegseth’s staff, she said, seemed to flinch at what he was saying. “Some put their heads down,” she said, while others just looked around. Someone in the room then said: “That was one of the most insulting things I have ever heard,” quietly but audibly and, as far as Nancy could tell, to no one in particular.

Whining about press coverage of US war dead may be the worst thing Hegseth has done as Sec Def & that's saying a lot.

"....he managed to shock many of them when he cynically used the deaths of U.S. military personnel to air his own grievances with the press."

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

The Longreads Questionnaire, Featuring Rebecca Solnit - Longreads The author of The Beginning Comes After the End talks about jackrabbits, her own “informational hypervigilance,” and the one word she won’t stop using.

What five items would you place in a time capsule?

Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and maybe Mohammed bin Salman, to be opened, carefully, with precautions, in the year 3026.

An important piece showing that losses in court haven’t stopped Trump from seizing Congress’s spending power and targeting dissenters and “blue states.”

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

If we're not going to be old fashioned & Constitutional by requiring Congressional approval for war, then what if we just said every decision maker in the executive branch prosecuting the war is required to enroll their military aged children in a combat role for the war until Congress is consulted?

The Epstein class's kids won't die in this war. Poor families' kids will.

Billionaires won't suffer. Middle class families will pay more for everything.

And for what? For a different hardline cleric to run Iran than the one who was about to die soon anyway?

Let’s get Kai Trump, Donald Trump III, & Barron signed up for the military. After that, we can enlist the 3 Kushner kids, Eric and Lara’s 2 children, Tiffany’s child, and Don Jr.’s other 3 kids. People are dying for their family’s personal interests, it’s the least they can do

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

Trump is draining the US’ weapons stock. Hope there are no more enemies anywhere.

Conflict with Iran? I think you meant illegal, unnecessary war inflicted on us by an amoral administration. So, so weak.

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.
