Without people like this there would literally be no journalism left.

Seven months after the so-called ceasefire, people in Gaza say the war has not ended. Bisan Owda reports from Gaza, where bombings continue, large parts of the territory remain inaccessible and families are still living in tents on top of the rubble of their homes.

“They say the war ended. But it didn’t.” With children walking to school under fire and people struggling to access water and basic needs, daily life is still shaped by uncertainty and loss. At the edge of it all, the sea remains one of the few places where people can gather to find a moment of calm.

“They cannot destroy the sea.”

DAI and LUSD are stablecoins without blacklist address possibility.

Iraq treasury is held in US bank account, as Afghanistan before it (confiscated when US left), and Venezuela now. It was always going to end in confiscation.

US seemed to request ceasefire to give it a chance to surrender. Iran said no. But US should be allowed to know/negotiate $ amount requested.

To be consistent with 2-3 week "stone age" campaign, then retreat without peace, no ground troops can be used.

DNC, if it had any anti-war, Israel constraining of maximum evil, could portray some anti-cruelty arguments in the form of political points: massive daily operations budget, high wounded/casualties of US troops being sitting ducks in the region for threat of ground invasions, which DOD is lying about, damage to global oil/GCC product supplies both from Iran to the stone age, and Iran retaliations vs Zionazi axis, including slow to replace global ship inventory, and another 2-3 weeks of starvation of world supplies, or US gas/diesel prices if that is all that matters.

Straights of Hormuz are only closed as long as US remains in the area. World will easily come to agreement on opening SoH after the US leaves. World needs to make this point more forcefully.

In this episode of Photo Evidence, we break down that imagery to understand what was actually hit, and how effective these attacks really were.

From US air bases in Jordan and Saudi Arabia to radar sites in Qatar, naval headquarters in Bahrain, and a command post in Kuwait, the images reveal the scale and precision of Iran’s response.

By comparing before-and-after imagery, we assess what these strikes tell us about Iran’s strategy, and what they may reveal about the balance of power in the war so far.

Zionazi pump (with everything closed for a month ffs) is now dumping. Elbit toxic refinery in flames could be a problem.

LNG means higher natural gas prices for Americans as it is exported to other more profitable markets. Less wind means needing more fossil fuel powered electricity, also raising electricity and heating costs.

Closure of US military bases is easy if they are destroyed and US would have to fund their repair.

I'm sure proxy funding is dependent on Israel behaving.

Financial compensation is fundamentally key to peace/surrender of US in conflict. If US can replace this with very high price per kg of uranium, it can spin it as denuclearization victory, but its all the same cash payment. In Yuan.

everyone's best friend, Israel, being responsible for attack on joing US/UK base could lead reasonable people to reassess friendship. USS Liberty did not cause such re-evaluation.

Iran denied firing it.
