They are agreeing to reopen it, but only in coordination w/ the military. It seems like US accepted that deal. Or Trump will maybe blow this whole thing up tomorrow.

Khabargozari-ye Seda va Sima (IRIB News Agency) Forwarded from: IRIB News Agency 🚨 Statement of the Supreme National Security Council 🔻 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful The noble nation of Iran should know that, by the blessing of the struggle of its children and the historic presence they showed on the battlefield against the enemy, it is now several months that the officials of the country, in order to halt the fire of the aggression of Iran's enemies and the Front of Resistance, have from the very outset of the war made decisions and taken contact so as to realize the objectives of the war and to repel the enemy's threats — with the result that the enemy has been brought to regret and exhaustion, and to date the country's officials have given a negative response to the enemy's requests for the continuation of the war. Today is the fortieth day of the war. The Iranian government has likewise, on several occasions, by the strike of the will of its mujahid men, presented its fundamental points to the President of the United States, and has emphasized that it attaches no importance whatsoever to the chief enemy. Now, to the great Iranian nation, we give the good news that we have nearly attained all the objectives of the war, and the brave children of you, the historic nation, have brought the enemy to the brink of historic defeat. The historic decision is that the nation, at one stroke, should bring all its claims to a conclusion, so that this is the moment when, if continued, it will lead to the establishment of vast new achievements in the security and political domains in a region founded upon the acceptance of Iran's power and sovereignty, and so that the dignity of Iran and the Resistance be created. In this regard, and in accordance with the prudent guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei (may God preserve him), and the approval of the Supreme National Security Counci…

Friendo have you considered skeeting out something incredibly stupid while mostly distracted by a tedious life task, preferably with an egregious typo in it? Because that right there is the juice

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild.

"Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

what's more obviously happening is that Trump has become party to discussions about Israel's actual objective in Iran, which is manufacturing state failure at the tip of a 2000 lbs. bomb

it's from one Gene Hemphill, who may have put his whole government name on a public comment about Carissa Codel

very few sounds sweeter to my ears than a Southern drawl saying “It’s giving war crime. You can’t do that.”

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.

Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

First unalloyed pushback from a Senate Republican is, unsurprisingly, from Lisa Murkowski.

all that wacky shit Trump is posting sounds roughly the same to my ears as a guy claiming God explicitly chose him to be Israel's personal avenger, but idk, maybe that's just my perspective

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”

After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Drone attack targets US Victoria base near Baghdad airport Iraqi armed factions said on Sunday evening that they had targeted the Victoria military base at Baghdad International Airport using drones. The claim was reported by media channels linked to the “…

My guess is this is probably just footage of Sunday's attack zipping around.

Semi-official Iranian outlets also claiming now that there's been multiple explosions at the US Victoria base near Baghdad airport, which has been repeatedly targeted by drones in recent weeks. Could be recycled footage.

Iran-Linked Hackers Are Sabotaging US Energy and Water Infrastructure As Trump threatens Iranian infrastructure, the US government warns that Iran has carried out its own digital attacks against US critical infrastructure.

As Trump threatens scorched-earth attacks on Iran, a joint advisory from US agencies warns Iran-linked hackers have hit US critical infrastructure: "In a few cases, this activity has resulted in operational disruption and financial loss." www.wired.com/story/iran-l...

You think it's bad here?

The DOJ Misled a Judge About How It’s Using Voter Roll Data The acting head of the DOJ’s voting section told a judge last week that the agency had not touched the nonpublic voter roll data it has collected. That wasn’t true.

SCOOP

A DOJ lawyer told a judge in Rhode Island that voter rolls data the agency has collected from states was being kept separate, and no analysis was being done to identify voting irregularities.

That wasn't true....
