In an explosive interview with NDTV, renowned economist and geopolitical commentator Jeffrey Sachs, Professor at Columbia University, delivers a blistering critique of the US–Israel military strikes on Iran.
Nope.
The #Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the #Iran #war, a senior admin official says.
The DoD sent the request to the White House, acc/to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity…
It’s an extraordinarily high number & comes on top of extra funding the Defense Dept already received last year in #Trump’s big tax cuts bill.

And so we are getting progressively sucked into the US/Israeli ignited war with Iran; and forget the idea these will only be used fro defensive deployments & flights.
Any addition to defensive capabilities frees up other military assets for further attacks.
The UK is now (whatever Keir Starmer says & the Tangerine Tyrant companies about) taking part in the war on Iran.
I'll be clear: NOT IN MY NAME
Whatever I may think about Iran this is not the way forward!
“15 minutes before Trump announced that the U.S. would postpone strikes against Iran’s energy infrastructure, the volume of stock market trades mysteriously spiked and the price of oil just as mysteriously plunged."

Trump's #Iran spin falls flat
#Trump has spent a lifetime talking himself out of tough spots. But in the #war with Iran, his trusty technique of sowing confusion to postpone reckonings is beginning to fail.
Ten days in, Trump still hasn’t settled on a consistent rationale for why he went to war. Now, he’s hinting that peace might soon be at hand—even while he & top aides simultaneously warn the fighting might get more intense & last longer.

#Trump admin lifts #sanctions on millions of barrels of #Iran #oil
As oil prices soar, the #Treasury Department has lifted sanctions on Iranian crude already loaded onto vessels — giving Iran’s war effort against the #US a boost.

3 weeks in, #Iran #war escalates beyond Trump's control [not that it was ever in his control after the first attack]
#Trump ends the 3rd week of the Iran war confronting a crisis that seems to be slipping out of his hands∶ Global #energy prices are surging, the #US stands isolated from [former] #allies & more #troops are preparing to deploy despite his promise the war would be only a "short excursion."

Middlebury Institute of International Studies researchers concluded with moderate-to-high confidence that the suspect missile was likely launched from a #US Patriot battery located about 4 miles (7 km) to the southwest of the impacted neighborhood.

"As the U.S.-Israel war on Iran enters its fourth week and President Donald Trump orders the deployment of thousands of additional sailors and Marines to the Middle East, the troops he is counting on appear increasingly wary of the conflict."

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States of America:
Aaron Rupar -- @atrupar
8:21 AM · Mar 17, 2026
#Trump: "Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID!
Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea.
In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Check back in an hour or two to see how our President is doing then...

AP is calling Israel’s #military actions in southern #Lebanon an #invasion.
#Israel has moved thousands of #troops across the border into Lebanon, & Israeli forces & #Iran backed #Hezbollah have been fighting for at least 3 wks
Israeli ofcls, including the defense minister, said they want to take control of the entire area south of the Litani River— ~20 miles north of the border—& that displaced Lebanese residents will not be allowed back until Israel decides its safe.
#WallStreet slumps on #MiddleEast uncertainty. #US #stocks had their biggest loss since the #war with #Iran started, with the S&P 500 falling 1.7%. #Nasdaq confirms correction.

#Trump said Thursday he will delay a threatened strike on #Iran #energy #infrastructure & extend his deadline for Tehran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz until April 6, claiming talks to end the #war are “going very well.” The move marks a pullback from Trump’s earlier warning that the #US would target Iran’s energy plants if the crucial shipping lane remained closed.

The *ONLY* reason Trump would attend the WH Correspondents' Dinner would be to set up for a fake assassination attempt.
Tomorrow there will be a new fundraiser and merchandise.
It's to distract from #Iran.
How can someone fire SIX shots and not hit anyone?
RED FUCKING ALERT
The United States is dropping land mines around villages in Iran. Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.
The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.
LAND MINES ARE A WAR CRIME! What in the actual fuck are we doing here? This is a violation of law, of sense, and of humanity. Den Hague for everyone involved.
"Before Iran, there was Covid: Trump falls apart in a crisis. But journalists are still letting him write the headlines."
As Dan Froomkin says, this is exactly analogous to how the press behaved when Trump careened from lie to lie and bogus solution to bogus solution during the Covid crisis of his first term.
