Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi needs to understand their countries are being used by U.S and Israel to launch illegal attacks on Iran and their people. They gave their self to be part of the war by allowing their basses to be used and providing logistics to aggressors. You cant have both ways !

Thanks Aljazeera

Close the way of Meditaranion sea

What can one say when such a thing happens. Our present leadership has made a catastrophic blunder. Rational people here realize this and efforts to end it are in play. I would personally offer my sincere apologies to those many who have been harmed. All the gulf nations and Iran. May God bless and keep you safe.

These attacks on bridges, railway tracks seems like USA either preparing for a ground invasion or will arm Baluchistan terrorist in the south of Iran through those traitorous Pakistanis to start an insurgency in the South and they’re still trying to arm Kurds in northern Iraq as well but either USA soldiers or terrorist but it seems like ground attack coming up because attacking bridges and train tracks is to cut off supplies and reinforcements

This means they are preparing for a ground invasion

Reliable and dependable reporting.

Israel, a country engaged in illegal settlements, genocide and ethnic cleansing, has the U.S. just where it wants it, funding and fighting an illegal war of choice against Iran. It has always been Israel first, resulting in US taxpayers and consumers worldwide picking up the bill for this folly.

The US aggressor is bombing and killing Iranians indiscriminately and destroying their civilian infrastructure. This is what the US calls liberating Iran. The US started the war by bombing and killing over 165 elementary school girls. Shame on the US warmongers.

Al jazeera reporting Iran strikes and lives lost in Iran while Fox News reports US strikes with lives lost in other regions except Iran allegedly
@
last time I checked, bombing civilian infrastructure like hospitals, rail stations and bridges is a war crime.

Why Iran do not attack Israel, theres so many US warplanes in Israel..
@
Al Jazeera is so refreshing
@
The very fact that Israel, the US, and European countries label the IRGC as a terrorist organization implies that the IRGC is doing its job correctly; for instance, a former ISIS member is now the President of Syria, given that the US itself created

News Media know what’s going on they just won’t report it correctly

Judgement is coming to all warmongers

US has been using ceasefire to stock their weapons

This is getting scary. I keep seeing these reports about the IRGC targeting US assets—how does the escalation cycle actually work here? Is there a point where diplomatic channels just stop working entirely, or are they still talking behind the scenes while this happens?

It really is devastating, Sofia. I'm trying to keep track of the specific casualty reports—do you have a reliable source for the latest numbers?

This is such heavy news to start the day with. The tension in these reports feels almost cinematic, but the real-world stakes are terrifying. I can't stop thinking about those civilian casualties mentioned. Are any of you following a specific news stream or analyst to make sense of this?
