1. Just to add, fwiw: the news I'm seeing indicates that

both Iran and the US & Israel are threatening destruction of one another's infrastructures including nuclear power plants in the region, and as you probably know, we're already bombing the nuclear plant in Isfahan, although I think we're claiming that we're somehow doing so without risk of nuclear catastrophe, which seems to me implausible.

And Iran has now sent 2 ICBM missiles, apparently coming very close to hitting an island target 4,000 mis. away, which we claim we've intercepted but without clarifying whether we nonetheless suffered any damage from the flack. The 4,000-mi. range could reach central Europe, among other places.

And Trump's declared a deadline of 48 hrs. for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face all-out destruction – that's been ticking down for a while already – and Iran's basically saying f.u. and forget negotiations, since Trump's proved we absolutely cannot be trusted.

And hundreds of Israelis and thousands of Iranians have already been killed, many of them civilians including many children; and of course there have been many more wounded.

If I were the rest of the world, I'd band together to try to stop the US & Israel.
