Heck of a job Imperial Empire.
It's possible the US has a new weapon they are itching to try on Iran, laser or maybe a bioweapon. It's the only thing that makes sense for starting a war.
The Empire is run by the insane.....they think this war like most wars will benefit the bankers but it wont... because the Empire does not survive this war.

it is infinitely predictable when you choose the most stupid amongst us to lead the country.

Israel has closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre indefinitely for the first time in the history of Christianity.Holy Week and Easter services will be prohibited. Sunday masses and liturgies cancelled. A church that should be packed with hundreds of thousands these coming weeks is being forcibly shut and silenced.Israel cites it is for ‘security concerns’ while Jewish Israelis are allowed to celebrate in mass gatherings. Alongside the forced closure of Al-Aqsa mosque, reports cite priests aggressively being turned away to perform daily services. Throughout history, wars, tensions, or even the pandemic limited access to the sanctuary, but they had never prevented liturgical celebrations in this central place of Christian faith indefinitely. Christians must not remain silent.

Final report for tonight.QatarGas's Pearl GTL (Gas to liquid) complex is on fire, so it is quite likely that its ASU (Air separator unit) has been destroyed. These units are extremely expensive and are manufactured in Italy by Linde and SIAD Macchine Impianti. They cost about a billion dollars at current inflation rates per unit (when the site was built $400 million) and the manufacturing time takes 3-4 years. Pearl contained 8 units.Goodnight oomfies.

It is stunning how wrong a United States Senator can be. In the short term, attacking the military sites on Kharg island will have no impact on the war, pro or con. But our continued attacks are hardening the resolve of the Iranian side, almost guaranteeing the war's expansion and extension.This war of choice was never necessary, was based on inaccurate or fraudulent intelligence, and the objectives given were in the main militarily unachievable - again, ensuring the war drags on into an indefinite future.At present, Iran retains political and military viability, and is clearly in complete control of the Strait of Hormuz. The amount of firepower we've unleased on Iran, now in the 19th day, has killed a lot of people and caused major damage to Iran, but it has only hardened their resolve, while doing nothing militarily to undermine the state.Meanwhile, we are draining our inventories of our most crucial ammunition categories, have lost 13 soldiers dead and over 200 wounded - so far - and 17 of our regional bases and sites have been badly damaged or destroyed. Our allies have suffered enormous financial loss, and the global price of oil is rising to dangerous heights.There is no evident offramp for President Trump to take, and thus *all these costs* are likely to continue rising, as the war drags indeterminately on. Worst case, this turns into a war of attrition and slowly saps our country of our manpower, our resources, and our money, while driving the cost of everything through the roof with rising energy costs - which could plunge the world into severe recession.This, Sen. Graham

Right now, in barns and equipment sheds across the American Midwest, farmers are making the most consequential decision of this war. Not generals. Not senators. Farmers.At $683 per ton urea, corn economics have collapsed. Nitrogen is the single largest input cost for corn production. At pre-war prices a farmer could justify 180 pounds per acre and expect a margin. At $683 the math breaks. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria. They do not need the molecule trapped behind the Strait of Hormuz. The seed decision is being made this week across roughly 90 million acres of American cropland. Once the planter rolls into the field, the choice is irreversible. Corn seed in the ground stays corn. Soy seed stays soy. The acreage allocation locks in.USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. That report will tell the world how American agriculture responded to the Hormuz blockade. But the decisions it captures are being made now, in conversations between farmers and agronomists and seed dealers who are looking at nitrogen prices and making the rational economic choice: plant the crop that does not need the input you cannot afford.Every acre that shifts from corn to soybeans tightens the corn balance sheet for the rest of the year. Corn feeds livestock. Corn feeds ethanol. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually, consuming roughly 43 percent of the US corn crop regardless of price. That demand is inelastic. If acres shift and production falls while the mandate holds, corn prices spike. Feed costs spike. The protein cascade reverses. The US cattle herd sits at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low. Poultry and pork margins that were benefiting from cheap feed compress when corn crosses $5 per bushel.This is how a naval blockade 7,000 miles from Iowa reaches the American grocery shelf. Not through oil. Not through shipping. Through nitrogen. The farmer cannot afford the molecule. The molecule cannot transit the strait. The farmer plants soy instead. The corn supply tightens. The ethanol mandate consumes its fixed share. The remaining corn reprices. The feed reprices. The meat reprices. The grocery bill reprices.The decision is not political. It is arithmetic performed on a kitchen table by a person who needs to plant in three weeks and cannot wait for a ceasefire, an escort convoy, or an insurance normalisation that the Red Sea precedent says takes years.The deepest penetrator in the American arsenal cannot reach a sealed Iranian doctrinal packet. But the fertiliser price it failed to resolve is reaching every planting decision on 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth.The war’s most irreversible consequence is not happening in a bunker. It is happening in a barn. And by the time USDA publishes the data on March 31, the seeds will already be in the ground.

JD Vance has been useless as well.....the American government is post constitutional.....it does not work for us....to a large degree it clearly does not give a fuck about us.

The USA informed Iran that they consider their military objectives achieved and are preparing to exit the conflict soon, noting that Israel still has some operational tasks to complete before its withdrawal from the war. However, Iran completely rejected this message, stating that it is not interested in its content and will continue the war until it achieves its own long-term goals aimed at preventing the recurrence of such conflicts. It is emphasized that even in the event of the USA and Israel's withdrawal, Iran will continue its actions until its goals are fully achieved, and any departure of Washington and Tel Aviv does not impose any obligations on Tehran.

No Tulsi, Iran is not a terrorist state. That’s Israel & US, carpet bombing civilians in Gaza, Lebanon, ethnic cleaning & genocide, assassinating & kidnapping heads of state, stealing oil & resources. Your Neocon polemics are a joke. FYI - Donald Trump has embraced ISIS-Al Qaeda leader in our White House. Your boss brought shame to the dead US servicemen “brothers & sisters” you claim to be all about ….
