Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"
Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?
Doocy: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran.
Trump: I have a lot of respect for you. You always been very nice to me. What a stupid question to be asking.
Why Tesla robotaxis can't go driverless:
-4x more likely to crash vs humans
-3x more likely to cause an injury crash vs humans
-FSD knowingly runs red lights/drives the wrong way
-Tesla can't explain why
-Regulatory strangle: 1000s of new FSD crashes found

Iranian foreign minister condemns US attack on freshwater desalination plant - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/iranian-foreign-minister-condemns-us-attack-freshwater-desalination
You’ll never guess who bombed another school today
That’s funny. He barely knows English.
(shouted from the back): "Because you're dying?"
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.
The US lacks hypersonic missiles and its drones are "just an expensive copy of Iran's." America is a luxury terrorism force that can attack soft targets, but crumple against anything hard.

So Bahrain is back on the target list
The destruction of two U.S. missile-defense radars—the AN/FPS-132 in Qatar and AN/TPS-59 in Bahrain—could take years to replace.
Raytheon may need 5–8 years and about $1.1B to rebuild the AN/FPS-132, while Lockheed Martin would require 12–24 months and $50–75M for the AN/TPS-59.

Not clear to me precisely what this means. Clearly it includes Azerbaijan. I've got questions about Bahrain given some recent flights out of there. It also seems to be offering an offramp for others
After US forces bombed an Iranian desalination plant in Qeshm Island, the IRGC retaliated with a strike targeting US forces in the Juffair naval base in Bahrain. The attack on the desalination plant was carried out earlier today, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi commented on the attack saying it's "a blatant and desperate crime", adding that water supply to 30 villages has been disrupted.
Iran gave Bahrain a chance. They decided to let U.S. use their land to attack Iran again. #FAFO

No
It’s a good thing HIMARS are mobile launchers. Otherwise, Russia would be helping the Iranians to target it. I’d wager that it was firing the longer-range ATACMS missiles that were too “escalatory” to let Ukraine use against Russia.
I guess Bahrain is opting out of the Iranian truce offer?

They deserve Dubai and Dubai deserves them
The production rate cannot replenish what sustained Iranian barrages will consume.
The strategic logic behind Iran's targeting is to empty every interceptor magazine between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean.

Iran is simultaneously at war with nine countries, a scale of military operations not seen since World War II. On February 28 alone, Iran launched 315 ballistic missiles and 294 drones across the Persian Gulf, according to Defence Industry EU aggregating official reports.

At 209 drones against the UAE alone, the interceptor expenditure for a single day against a single country approaches $800 million in munitions cost.
The United States produces approximately 500 Patriot PAC-3 missiles per year.

I believe Bahrain said they would run out of Patriot (PAC) interceptors by Wednesday or Thursday, on Monday. Probably one BM hit just before this video, and a second one in it ... they're probably mostly defenceless now. UAE stated they'd be out within 7-10 days from conflict start.

Iran isn’t just firing missiles, it’s targeting the eyes of the missile defense network. Multiple U.S. radars in Jordan, the UAE, and Qatar have been destroyed or damaged. Take out the sensors and systems like THAAD and Patriot lose the ability to see threats coming. #Iran #Israel #Trump
Murtaza Hussain @MazMHussain According to Bloomberg the UAE and Qatar are privately lobbying the Trump administration to bring a quick end to the conflict out of fear of ongoing economic disruption and depleting interceptor stocks:
Qatar has 4 days worth of Patriot missiles left, Bloomberg reports. Trump says things are going great.
10,000 IRGC and police have been killed. Some 170 air raids were declared on day one and it’s dropped to 45.
Qatar says its air defences will be exhausted by Thursday and the UAE by Saturday. Demand for Patriot missiles is huge.
Qatar says it has shot down two Iranian Su-24 Fencers.
The Iranian
Qatar's Patriot interceptor missiles will last four days at the current rate of use, Bloomberg reported. Qatar has requested help countering drones, which have proven a greater threat than ballistic missiles, while the UAE has requested medium-range air defense assistance. #MiddleEast
