Robert Guest: "The war on Iran has already caused the biggest energy-supply shock in history. It is not just about oil; disruption to supplies of natural gas is even worse. As a result, the world’s economy will be less prosperous, more volatile and harder to govern. Despite the technological brilliance of America’s and Israel’s air war, Iran has shown that it can deploy relatively cheap weapons to inflict serious pain on its neighbors and the wider world."

Nicholas Kristof: "That money (wasted in the first days of the #IranWar) was enough to save the lives of more than 3 million children worldwide, with nutritional paste for malnutrition, bed nets against malaria, vaccination programs and community health workers. Instead we spent it blowing up people and things, and raising gas prices."

Jon Favreau: "This war is so stupid. The nuclear program isn’t getting destroyed. The regime isn’t changing. At best, we set them back a few years at a cost of how many lives? How many dollars? How many new refugees? How much more danger are we all in now? Just absolute moron warmongers who spend all our money to send other people’s kids to kill or be killed."

Report: Millions of Israelis are spending sleepless nights in bomb shelters.

Israel’s radar systems have reportedly been jeopardised, making "it difficult to know when a missile has been launched from Iran."

In addition, "Hezbollah has developed a new long-range missile", one of which fell in Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem, "provoking anxiety among the Israeli public."

Not as many sleepless nights & as much anxiety as Palestinians have had...

"They want our oil, to Balkanise Iran. But they’re failing miserably"

"Washington’s strategy echoes older imperial policies... They want to rule the Persian Gulf like the British did in the 19th C."

Trump "wants to take out the oil-rich southern part of Iran, disintegrate Iran... create a new state in southern Iran & use it to control oil resources while increasing pressure on China & expanding Israeli influence in the region."

Interview: "Trump & Hegseth & Rubio have completely misjudged the nature of this war".

And "the lies that the American mainstream media..are telling the American people.. are putting us in jeopardy in a real substantive sense"...

"because the American people have no way of judging just how foolhardy, how stupid, how unwise, how violative of international dictum & rule this war is."
