The key questions: How did this happen? Who conducted the strike? And where is the accountability?

I’ll be speaking to these questions in depth over the next few days.

“Mr. Bryant… said the most likely explanation was that the school had been a ‘target misidentification.’”

Let’s talk about a strike that killed nearly 200 civilians in Iran—most of them reportedly young school girls.

the manipulation of Trump and the U.S. by Israel and the hypocrisy while Russia and North Korea present far greater threats to the free world, and the chaos and atrocity unfolding in the Middle East.

A highlight from my interview with AsiaOne where I speak on the blatant lies from the Trump administration to justify large scale military aggression against Iran, the incredible danger in the most powerful military in the world now in the sole grip of a fanatical tyrant…

“America needs a reckoning. We need to decide—what do we stand for? I’ll not lament the end of rule for murderous tyrants in Iran, but I don’t want it done in a way that’s equally tyrannical, and murderous, and in blatant violation of international law as that of the enemies we stand against.”

“Is the Trump administration saying that the ‘imminent threat’ is all of Iran's government and military?"

My commentary to @theguardian.com on the lawlessness and chaos that define the U.S.-Israel aggression against Iran and the recent U.S. torpedo strike that downed an Iranian warship.

Former US special ops @wesjbryant.bsky.social says the US strike on an Iranian warship is illegal. The boat was hit while returning from a training in India.

“By targeting it, is Trump saying that all of Iran’s government and military poses an imminent threat?”

“The regime’s repressive forces will pay for their cruel and merciless actions…” begins the message that Israel sent through a hack of a prolific prayer app that Iranians use for prayer and worship.

I discuss the strategic and moral implications of this in my commentary for @politico.com

“We have a criminal madman in charge of the most powerful military in the world… and spineless generals on their knees to a war criminal and a tyrant.”

Let’s stop pretending anything less. Because NONE of this is normal.

I joined AsiaOne to react to Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s remarks that Israel has a “God-given right” to the land between the Euphrates and the
Nile.

Pure extremism is leading American policy. I will never stop telling them exactly what they are.

“The first step here, if we want peace in Gaza, is Israel—stop bombing Palestine.”

A highlight of my interview with AsiaOne where I discuss Trump’s “Board of Peace” in context with the genocide in Gaza, the standoff with Iran, and a new American tyranny under Trump.

ICE officials knew use of force was rising well before Minneapolis shootings Internal agency emails show a surge in reports of ICE officers using more force going back nearly a year, but DHS leadership did not see it as a concern to be addressed.

Absolutely disgusting. Politico confirms that ICE has known that its officers have been using dramatically more force against civilians and has done nothing to stop it.

This lawless agency needs more than simple 'reforms'. It needs to be defunded and dismantled.

"Trump is a criminal. Per US law, per our constitution, per international law."

I joined Asia One News for a discussion on the current US-Iran conflict where I do not hold back stating what needs said. Because NONE of this is normal and this is not time for anyone to pretend as if it somehow is.
