The U.S. has bombed the bridge connecting Tehran with Karaj, the highest and one of the most important bridges in the Middle East.

My initial reaction on a Bay Area television station to Trump's Iran speech last night. The five-minute interview starts a little after the two-minute mark.

The United States has bombed and severely damaged the Pasteur Institute in Tehran, one of the Middle East's most important research and public health centers, originally established in 1920 through an agreement between the Institute Pasteur of Paris and the Iranian government.

The United States is continuing to widen its attacks on Iran's civilian infrastructure, including destroying a major highway bridge and even attacking several universities. Trump doesn't mind, though, since Iranian missiles and drones can't reach the United States and they will go after comparable targets in Israel and the Arab Gulf states instead.

Though much of the media coverage may lead one to think otherwise, polls show a large majority of Jewish Americans and Iranian-Americans oppose the war.

Finally, we are seeing Democratic senators willing to acknowledge the deep-seated racism in Israeli law. As recently as 2016, the national Democratic platform praised Israel as a beacon of “democracy, equality, tolerance, and pluralism.”
From Sennator Van Hollen:
Just yesterday the Netanyahu govt adopted a law to hang Palestinians who commit certain crimes in the West Bank but not Israeli settlers who commit the same crimes.
Why are we sending a blank check of billions of $ to a govt that pursues these & other blatantly racist policies?

Repost from Jack Hicks:
Sina Toossi posts:
This is what it looks like when a war isn’t going to plan.
Unable to stop Iran’s missile and drone fire, the U.S. is escalating by bombing more civilian infrastructure – like a major bridge linking Tehran to Karaj that millions rely on.
So much for the ludicrous claim that anything about this was to “help the Iranian people.”
This is a brutal campaign to break a country of over 90 million people.
All while Hormuz remains closed, global economic costs mount, and Iran continues striking targets across the region.
There is no strategy here. Just desperation. Trump is escalating toward more barbaric attacks and rhetoric to mask a war that is not going his way.
