Iran says it attacked “US bases and strategic centres” in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar after the US bombed Iranian cities for a second consecutive night.
The US attacks have killed 14 people and wounded 78 over two days with blasts reported in Iranian cities along the Strait of Hormuz, including Bushehr, Chabahar, Bandar Abbas, and Sirik.
US President Donald Trump says the strikes were “retribution” for alleged Iranian attacks on ships transiting Hormuz.
Iran’s slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will be buried in his hometown of Mashhad today after millions of people attended funeral processions in the Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala.
Here we go again.
Never mind that the bombing campaigns of the past few months accomplished nothing. Donald’s going to do exactly the same thing again and make all of these awful circumstances for the world even worse, on top of likely murdering more Iranian schoolchildren.
I hate that my country is ruled by rich, stupid people, and they’ll never experience any real accountability.
yeah I’ve just about given up on the US people doing anything about any of this.
What should they do? Responses sit either in the non-violent space, which is only effective when the people in power have a sense of shame for ‘failing to represent their constituency,’ or the violent space, which is self-destructive and, if you’re facing the gigantic american system, suicidal, and feeds into rhetoric about how the government needs to crack down on violent extremists, helping to legitimate further authoritarianism.
Along with Israel, Kuwait and the Emiratis were among the main cheerleaders in favor of the US attacking Iran. Seems like chickens coming home to roost.
