    For context: WA is close to passing a law that would add a tax to people earning 1M+ per year that would remove sales tax on various hygiene products and medicine, fund tax credits for families under the poverty line, and provide free meals for students. I guess that’s Nazism to them!

    I still have no idea if it's satire or those people have lead poisoned brains.

    U.S. Forces Issue Safety Warning to Civilians in Iran - x.comU.S. Central Command @CENTCOM

    Note - Xcancel doesn't work.

    TAMPA, Fla. – U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is issuing a safety warning to civilians in Iran, March 8, as Iran’s terrorist regime blatantly disregards the safety of innocent people.

    The Iranian regime is using heavily populated civilian areas to conduct military operations, including launching one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles. This dangerous decision risks the lives of all civilians in Iran since locations used for military purposes lose protected status and could become legitimate military targets under international law.

    Iranian forces are using crowded areas surrounded by civilians in cities such as Dezful, Esfahan and Shiraz to launch attack drones and ballistic missiles. U.S. forces strongly urge civilians in Iran to stay at home. The Iranian regime is knowingly endangering innocent lives. Additionally, Iranian forces are jeopardizing the safety of innocent people throughout the Middle East by deliberately and indiscriminately targeting civilian airports, hotels, and residential neighborhoods.

    “Iran’s terrorist regime is blatantly disregarding civilian lives by attacking Gulf partners while compromising the safety of their own people,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM. Iran has launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and thousands of one-way attack drones since Feb 28. However, launch rates have drastically declined as U.S. and partner forces decimate Iran’s military capabilities.

    The U.S. military takes every feasible precaution to minimize harm to civilians but cannot guarantee civilian safety in or near facilities used by the Iranian regime for military purposes. Unlike the Iranian regime, U.S. forces do not target or intentionally risk the safety of civilians.

    I had to fix the layout by hand.

  • Scoop: U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel strikes, sources say - axios.com

    Israel's strikes on 30 Iranian fuel depots Saturday went far beyond what the U.S. expected when Israel notified it in advance, sparking the first significant disagreement between the allies since the war began eight days ago, according to a U.S. official, Israeli official and a source with knowledge.

    The U.S. is concerned Israeli strikes on infrastructure that serves ordinary Iranians could backfire strategically, rallying Iranian society to support the regime and driving up oil prices. The Israeli air force's Saturday strikes created large fires in Tehran, igniting flames visible for miles and blanketing the capital in heavy smoke.

    The IDF claimed in a statement that the fuel depots "are used by the Iranian regime to supply fuel to different consumers including its military organs." An Israeli military official said the strikes were intended in part to tell Iran to stop targeting Israeli civilian infrastructure.

    Israeli and U.S. officials said the IDF notified the U.S. military ahead of the strikes. But a U.S. official said that the U.S. military was surprised by how wide-ranging they were.

    • "We don't think it was a good idea," a senior U.S. official said.
    • An Israeli official said the U.S. message to Israel was "WTF".

    The White House and the IDF didn't comment. While the facilities that were struck are not oil production facilities, U.S. officials are concerned the footage of burning depots could removedoil markets and push energy prices even higher.

    "The president doesn't like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn't want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices," a Trump adviser told Axios. The spokesman for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, which oversees the military operations, warned Saturday that if attacks on Iran's oil infrastructure continue, Tehran may respond with similar strikes across the region.

    He added that Iran so far hasn't targeted regional fuel and energy infrastructure and threatened that if Iran does, oil prices could hit $200 a barrel. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, one of the most senior officials in the regime, warned that if attacks on infrastructure continue, Iran will retaliate "without delay."

    A U.S. official says the disagreement and what the U.S. expects in the war is expected to be addressed at senior political levels between the two allies.

    I removed annoying shit like "Why it matters:". Also - Axios's layout is idiotic. I created sane paragraphs.

    More than half a million people had been displaced across Lebanon in less than a week of hostilities between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hizbollah, the government said on Sunday. Authorities have registered 517,000 on its online portal, but the actual number is likely to be higher. The cash-strapped government has struggled to accommodate the large number of people who have been forced to flee their homes as Israel has called on residents of large swaths of the country to evacuate.

  • “A strong fist does not mean strong reason...”

    The Guardian

    The US-Israel warn on Iran “should never have happened”, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

    Speaking at a press conference in Beijing, the senior official called for an end to military operations, and urged all parties to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.

    “A strong fist does not mean strong reason,” he said. “The world cannot return to the law of the jungle.”

    Wang is taking questions at the National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s annual parliamentary gathering, which began on Thursday.
