The Guardian view on the Iran war escalation: as Trump breaks things, who will pick up the pieces? | Editorial

Shortly after the US and Israel began their illegal assault on Iran, with the US president still preening himself over the kidnapping of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro the previous month, a state department official joked that Donald Trump had a new foreign policy credo: “Decapitate and delegate”. It was a reversal of Colin Powell’s invocation of the “Pottery Barn rule” ahead of the invasion of Iraq: you break it, you own it. Gen Powell, then secretary of state, was warning that wars can escalate beyond expectation and are harder to exit than enter. It remains unclear what precisely the Trump administration

Iran military says Strait of Hormuz will be “completely closed” if U.S. delivers on Trump threat

Israeli firefighters said a “direct hit” by an Iranian missile on the southern Israeli town of Arad caused extensive damage, with medics reporting around 30 people wounded. Israeli media showed badly damaged buildings in Arad, about 15 miles northeast of Dimona, a town struck hours earlier. Both towns are located near Israel’s main nuclear research center.  Lt. Col. Nadav Shosh, an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson, said that, in total, more than 70 people were injured in the two strikes. “It is becoming increasingly clear that the Iranian regime is resorting to reckless attacks that only further expose its instability and disregard

Charlie Kirk bullet analysis finds no conclusive link to rifle found near scene | Charlie Kirk shooting

An analysis from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) could not conclusively connect a bullet fragment recovered during Charlie Kirk’s autopsy to the rifle found near the scene of the rightwing political activist’s killing – and the FBI is running additional tests, lawyers for Kirk’s accused murderer said in recent court filings. In the court filings, Tyler Robinson’s defense team also asked for a delay to a preliminary hearing scheduled in May, saying they need time to review the bullet analysis as well as an enormous amount of other material that could contribute to the suspect’s

The oil island that could break Iran

One of President Donald Trump’s most potent moves for crippling the Iranian regime may involve seizing a tiny island where gazelles run free near oil infrastructure. The 5-mile strip of land known as Kharg Island is home to Iran’s most important oil facility, an export terminal in the Persian Gulf that handles up to 90 percent of the nation’s crude. It’s a cornerstone of Iran’s economy and a major source of revenue for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, a pillar of the regime that experts say could put down the kind of public uprising that Trump has called for. If Trump

A Bill Is Being Drafted in the U.S. That Would Allow Miners to Sell Bitcoin to the Government – Major Development

US Senator Cynthia Lummis is preparing to introduce a bipartisan “Mined in America Act” bill that would incentivize Bitcoin mining; under the plan, miners would be able to sell Bitcoin to the government in exchange for tax benefits (CGT exemption). The bill aims to encourage Bitcoin mining within the country and to bring critical infrastructure in this area back to the US. The plan also envisions a model where miners can benefit from capital gains tax (CGT) advantages if they sell their Bitcoin directly to the government. This approach aims to both incentivize mining and increase the government’s strategic Bitcoin

Bitter dispute between Trump and EU over Gaza’s future breaks out into the open | Donald Trump

A bitter dispute between Europe and the US over the future of Gaza has broken out into the open, with the EU’s head of foreign policy, Kaja Kallas, warning that Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” was a personal vehicle for the US president that removed any accountability to Palestinians or the United Nations. Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel Albares, also accused Trump of trying to bypass the original UN mandate for the board, and said Europe, one of the chief funders of the Palestinian Authority, had been excluded from the process. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Kallas
