Al Jazeera: No Quick Victory Leaves Trump Scrambling to Define Success in Iran - Excuses Trump has used for starting the war with Iran:
1. Iran is an 'imminent threat' to US troops and allies. But US intelligence assessments contradicted this stating Iran is years away from developing intercontinental missles or atomic weapons, which has been true for over 30 years.
2. 'Failed negotiations': This conflicted with ongoing diplomatic discussions facilitated by intermediaries like Oman.
3. 'Regime change initiatives': Concerns emerged that this approach could lead to instability and civil conflict within Iran, mirroring situations in Venezuela.
4. Recent indicators of planned attacks: Pentagon officials later stated there was no evidence supporting such imminent threats from Iran prior to the strikes.
5. Nuclear weapons capability: This claim was downplayed by experts, indicating that Iran was not capable of producing such weapons in the near future.

Guardian: Israeli Settlers Kill 19-Year-Old Palestinian American, Officials and Witnesses Say - As usual, no arrests, no charges. The settlers just shot him down, then clubbed him after he fell and left him for dead. This has become normal behavior for Israeli settlers. The IDF turns a blind eye. All Israeli settelments in the West Bank and Gaza are illegal in the eyes of the United Nations under the Fourth Geneva Convention and UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.

NYTimes: Inside the Doctors Without Borders Clinics That Israel Is Closing in Gaza - "Aseel Hamada sat waiting for a physical therapy appointment at a medical clinic in Gaza City.
She’d lost her right leg from above the knee and suffered wounds to her arm and face on Sept. 9, when the apartment she was preparing to evacuate along with her family was hit by tank fire. She is still waiting to undergo plastic surgery on her facial wounds, which she concealed behind a surgical mask.
Now the clinic, run by Doctors Without Borders, may be forced to shut down.
“If M.S.F. stops working, people will lose their lives”
Thousands of Gazan are in the same situation. The murderous genocide continues. It's all for the profit of the psycopathic rich.
