The front page of The National. The headline reads: THIS IS THE HUMAN COST. The photo stretches across the front and back pages of the paper and is the aerial view of 100 freshly dug graves for the murdered schoolgirls of Minab, Iran

NEW: US & Israeli have bombed a 4th school.

Shahid Hamedane School in Tehran was hit today, following schools hit in Minab and Parand, Iran.

And The National in Scotland seems to be the only newspaper in the Western world giving these war crimes appropriate coverage.

Tomorrow’s front page👇

An aerial view of a hundred freshly dug graves for the school girls while families gather around

Six days on, a New York Times investigation concludes that the US bombed the school.

175 are dead, 150+ of whom are schoolgirls aged 7-12.

The My Lai massacre for our generation.

The Hague - and Hell - awaits.

Red writing seen on the white missile

Wow. Iranian writer & researcher Ary Jeay reports that this is the missile launched at Tel Aviv tonight.

The writing on the missile reads: “In memory of the girls of Minab School”,

A reference to the 150+ children killed when US & Israeli missiles hit a school in Minab, Iran on Saturday.

This is reportedly a Khorramshahr-4 missile with a cluster warhead. It releases 80 submunitions at high altitude.

Iran has been warning it had yet to deploy its more advanced technology. It appears to have arrived in Israel tonight.

NEW: Tel Aviv tonight.

A city about to discover you can’t defend yourself against Iranian cluster bombs.

The front page has a headline over a bombed landscape with smoke rising. The headline reads “A war without a strategy”

The front page of tomorrow’s Economist.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

UPDATE: This man was just appointed Secretary of Homeland Security. No, really.

It’s not just that he’s the dumbest Senator in Congress. He might be the dumbest American in America.

Finished as a serious (and safe) country.

Iran was invited by India to take part. The US was also invited and was planning to take part in the exercise. It withdrew at the last minute. Presumably because it decided to slaughter one of the participants.

A little reported fact is that the Iranian frigate destroyed 2000 miles from the combat zone was carrying ZERO AMMUNITION (a condition of the exercise it was invited to participate in).

The ship was, by any definition, defenceless.

Much like the 80+ sailors left to drown.

Infamy.

Day 6: This is the list of countries either attacked, launching attacks or have military hardware involved:

Iran
Israel
US
United Kingdom
France
Greece
Germany
Italy
Lebanon
Syria
Iraq
Cyprus
Azerbaijan
Turkey
Saudi Arabia
Bahrain
Qatar
United Arab Emirates
Kuwait
Yemen
Oman
Jordan
Sri Lanka

He’s in the Louis Theroux mould. An ability to utterly dismantle an argument and shred someone’s credibility simply by playing their statements back to them.

It’s so effective and, for the subject, devastating.

This doesn’t even touch on the ludicrously changing timeframe for US military operations 👇

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

An aerial view of 100 or so graves dug for the young girls murdered by the US and Israeli air strike that struck the girls elementary school in Minab, Iran on Saturday. 165 were killed, mostly children. A war crime.

“Death and destruction from the sky, all day.”

I try to watch my language on this site.

This man is a fucking psychopath.

NEW: There seems to be an extraordinary suppression of videos documenting the damage in Israel. I wonder why.

This is Tel Aviv–Jaffa, in the Kirya area, opposite the Ministry of Defense tonight.

May the history books record that WWIII began on a vibe.

NEW: Tehran right now looks like the end of days.

Day 5 of “not a war”…

The final photo of the Iranian frigate.

The Sri Lankan navy says it has recovered 87 bodies from the water so far.

For full context, this is periscope footage of a US Navy Submarine torpedoing the Iranian Frigate Dena off the coast of Sri Lanka. It was reportedly there for a military training.

The video is credit to that account. Yes it was a military vessel on exercise near Sri Lanka.

Once you start torpedoing ships in international waters, that are not involved in conflict, you cease to have a limited theater of war.

You have taken a war global.

Every single US asset and citizen, worldwide, just became a target.

Catastrophically reckless.

IRAN WAR OPERATIONAL TIMEFRAME, ACCORDING TO WHITE HOUSE/PENTAGON:

Saturday: “days”
Sunday: “a week”
Monday: “four weeks”
Tuesday: “four to five weeks”
Wednesday: “eight weeks”

They have no idea what they are doing or what they have unleashed.

Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power.

Mullin: “This is war.”

Raju: “You concede this is war?”

Mullin: “We haven’t declared war.”

Reporter: “You just said it’s a war.”

Mullin: *stammer

The irony is Winston Churchill lacked any of the diplomatic patience Keir Starmer has shown towards Trump.

Churchill would have dismissed Trump as an utter buffoon who sows chaos globally and wouldn’t know a war plan if it was pasted to his orange face.

Yes, but reports suggest not all 88 members of the Supreme Council were there.

Iran may wish to halt the practice of gathering all their leaders, in one building, at the same time.
