"As long as Trump believes he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants, however, the Iranians have him over a barrel. And with oil prices currently at their highest since 2023, the American middle class is going to burn up as long as he’s over it."

"While Trump’s goal at the beginning of the war was unclear and ever-changing, it is no such thing now, as the Iranians have now determined what Trump’s goal must be: sending America’s sons and daughters to sacrifice their lives in the name of cheap gas."

"I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Aaron Parnas features a resignation letter Joseph Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, just sent to Trump:
"President Trump,
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today."

"More than two weeks after the war started, its goals remain unclear. Is it to degrade Iran’s conventional missile capabilities? Is it to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program? Is it regime change?
Ultimately, the administration’s failure to plan for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is part of a broader failure to plan for anything beyond 'shock and awe.'”

"Source close to the admin: 'He ended up saying, "I just want to do it. He grossly overestimated his ability to topple the regime short of sending in ground troops.”' The source said Trump was 'high on his own supply' after last summer’s quick strikes in Iran and January’s abduction of Nicolás Maduro."

"Never has any party in power shown such gloating bloodlust as Trump and his dimwitted amoral ideologues are, with their infernal infotainment.
On TikTok and X they are peddling short videos romanticizing the war, glorifying cruelty."

As Aaron Rupar says, Peter Thiel's pal Alex Karp, Palantir CEO, loves the macho bluster of Trump's war, as he proclaims:
"What makes America special right now is our lethal capacities. Our ability to fight war."
The techbros, the broligarchy, are all in on the brutality, lethality, cruelty, and want credit for its technological base.

As Aaron Parnas notes, Trump just posted the following on his Truth Social outfit:
"I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so."
War, wielding weapons, killing others with big booms, makes tiny men imagine they're big ones.

"Now that Trump has his war, he doesn’t seem to know what to do with it. He appears to have had no plans in place for either the future or Iran or protection for the straits of Hormuz. Instead, the White House account on Twitter is posting videos that equate war with video games or football."

"War is BOOM BOOM, death raining from the sky, hell wrought on others from thousands of miles away by American soldiers with joysticks. The mangled bodies are not seen. They must be presumed."

"The Trump regime is seeking to deflect blame and avoid responsibility for the largest civilian massacre by the U.S. military [at a girls' school in Minab, Iran] since the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. It’s vitally important to understand what has actually happened and how the White House is now seeking to shift the narrative and evade accountability."

As Aaron Parnas reports this morning, Trump is now threatening to rain "Death, Fire, and Fury" on Iran (though, of course, he imagines the word "rain" is spelled "reign" — since he truly knows no better).
His threats have to do with the fact that the Strait of Hormuz is now impassable due to his war, and this is affecting the global economy, creating political problems for him and Republicans in the US.

"Trump blundered his way into a war in which one of the first acts was the killing of more than 160 innocent schoolgirls. Neither he nor the senior US military comm and has the decency or humanity to admit that they killed hundreds of Iranian children through their recklessness."
