Mike Waltz has a freudian slip and calls Operation Epic Fury "Operation Economic Fury"
En slutsats som även den libanesiska journalisten Kim Ghattas kom fram till i sin bok ”Black Wave” om år 1979 då parallella händelser slet itu Mellanöstern. En av mina favoritböcker om regionen. Även Kassem Hamadés bok är mycket läsvärd. www.svd.se/a/jdqA0z/ar-...
Har äntligen fått tid att läsa ut Kassem Hamadés bok om den shiamuslimske ledaren Musa al-Sadr som röjdes ur vägen under en resa till Libyen 1978. Fint recenserad av Aron Lund. Kassem Hamadé stärker bilden av att Mellanöstern hade varit en bättre plats om Sadr fått leva. www.dn.se/kultur/hans-...

Beijing may still be reaping diplomatic benefit from the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran in being seen as a more stable global partner than the U.S. But in the long run the standoff in the Middle East is causing a global recession which is hurting China’s economy.

INBOX: Amid rising tendons between Trump and Pope Leo, the administration has abruptly canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
The only president stupid enough to do it.
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
We are ready to move forward with a common European army. Not in ten years or two — but now. As soon as tomorrow.

Don't look away: Massive Israeli attacks across Lebanon, including Beirut, with hundreds of casualties reported and overcrowded hospital - only hours after Trump announced a ceasefire agreement with Iran.
And listen less to Netanyahu?
Will Trump fire Hegseth now?
“One month into the latest intensification of strikes on Lebanon, Israel has killed 53 medical workers, destroyed 87 ambulances or medical centers, and forced the closure of five hospitals”— excellent reporting by @justinsalhani.bsky.social on Israel’s campaign to destroy healthcare in south Lebanon

Please tell me if there have been any reactions from world leaders to Trump's vile threats?
The Golestan Palace in Tehran, which reportedly was already damaged by one of the bombs. Or the many other places on UNESCO’s world cultural heritage site for Iran.
The architectural masterpieces in Isfahan, like the Shah Mosque.
And the ancient Iranian Qanat - the underground canal system which I have seen in Yazd as well.
And the historic city of Yazd with its wind towers - perfect sustainable methods of air conditioning.
Trump is threatening to bomb Iran ‘back to the Stone Ages’. He is of course ignorant of the many world cultural heritage sites in Iran, like the Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan. But I wonder what those Iranians in the diaspora who have been supportive of the bombing campaign are thinking now.
The Iranian regime understands the U.S. much better than vice versa, and thus knows how to hit Trump hardest: with the in increasing disapproval of the war and surging gas prices within his Republican base. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Tror inte att en avspänning i Persiska viken är möjlig förrän Trump ersätter krigsminister Pete Hegseth med en försvarsminister. / I don't believe any de-escalation in possible in the Persian Gulf until Trump replaces Hegseth with a Secretary of Defense, instead of the current Secretary of War.
