I saw at least two major news sites say the State Department urged all U.S. citizens to leave "more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries" but, frustratingly, listed only a few of those countries.

But Al Jazeera had the full list, and also noted how weirdly this was communicated — via a statement on X from the assistant secretary for consular affairs.

From one of their reporters: “This is not how this is done. The State Department has very complex processes to notify Americans in these places that they need to leave. That hasn’t happened. It’s not official government policy, at least it doesn’t appear to be yet, because this isn’t how they announce official government policy."

And: “It’s not quite clear what this means, and exactly how Americans could leave the entire Middle East since commercial traffic has been interrupted so much because of all of the missiles."

The State Department has urged all Americans in the Middle East to leave immediately, but U.S. embassies in the region are telling people trying to flee that they are on their own.

Apparently senile #Trump started his #IranWar because of a debunked conspiracy theory that Iran cheated to make him lose the 2020 election to President Biden. I keep thinking we've got to be in the stupidest timeline but Trump somehow always manages to prove me wrong.

OK, for those not following along at home (and seriously, don't) #Trump is now reversing course by 180 degrees and claiming that it was he (Trump) who --> tricked <-- #Netanyahu into attacking #Iran first

These people are insane

Trump throws Rubio under the bus, gives a clearly bogus new rationale for attack on Iran, saying it was his opinion because of the negotiations last week in Geneva, that Iran was going to strike first, so “if anything” he forced Israel’s hand.

Let's run that by again:

"so “if anything” he (Trump) forced Israel’s hand"

Good Lord...

This story is shocking - not at all surprising mind you - but fuck me all of these quotes from active military and their advocates are straight up insane

🇺🇳 🍞 Humanitarian supply lines across the Middle East are coming under increasing strain as rising security risks disrupt maritime routes and close airspace, the World Food Programme warned on Tuesday.

Challenges in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea are driving up transport costs and delaying deliveries, while the agency adapts by shifting to alternative routes.

"Stocks dramatically pare losses after Trump offers Gulf shipping safety"

So, what?

Trump is going to attack Iran if...

...Iran attacks any oil tankers in the Gulf?

The Gulf of which?

The Gulf of "America"?
