"Il linguaggio della guerra, in alcuni palazzi del potere, è tornato a essere epico, eroico e mistico. La vittoria e l’annientamento dei nemici sono un dovere morale per salvaguardare la grandezza del proprio Paese e un dovere garantito da Dio"
La riflessione pacata di Marco Mondini, docente di History of conflicts e Storia contemporanea a Padova, merita la lettura.

La guerra sfrenata e le sue parole

Il linguaggio della guerra, in alcuni palazzi del potere, è tornato a essere epico, eroico, mistico. E noi europei, figli rispettosi dell’ordine multilaterale, dovremmo prenderlo sul serio

On Wednesday evening, #Iran launched missiles at #Israel in what Iranian state-aligned media outlets hailed as one of their biggest attacks yet. Extensive damage was reported in several cities in central Israel, according to the country’s fire & rescue services.

#Trump has sought to reassure Americans, saying the crisis is temporary, but he has also described the run-up in fuel costs as a small price to pay for his #war aims.

…Experts say the price of #oil — & the price of #gasoline — won’t meaningfully drop until supplies can again flow freely out of the Persian Gulf through the #StraitOfHormuz.

…Other #fuel prices are also rising. #Diesel prices stood at $5.42 a gallon Tuesday, up from $3.76 a gallon before the #war — an increase that will directly affect the cost of #shipping nearly everything, from #groceries to furniture.

Ultimately, economists fear that these rising costs will contribute to faster #inflation & a slower #economy. The longer the war lasts, the greater the potential damage.

Before the #IranWar the Strait of #Hormuz was not owned by #Iran. Right now de-facto the strait of #Hormuz has become an inland water way of #Iran. Each ship passing through the strait of #Hormuz has greased palms in #Iran.

Next upcoming toll is in the Bab el-Mandeb where the #Houthis and #Iranians will collect fees.

Congrats #DJT. You have just given #Iran a new revenue stream.

#MAGA = Make Ayatollahs Great Again.

"This decision is part of the decision already ​made by the Spanish government not to participate in or contribute ‌to ⁠a #war which was initiated unilaterally & against #InternationalLaw," Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said during an interview with radio Cadena Ser when asked if the decision ​to close #Spain#airspace could ⁠worsen relations with the #US.

Spanish newspaper El Pais had first reported ​the news on Monday, citing military sources.

The closure of the #airspace forces #military ​planes to bypass #NATO member #Spain en route to their targets in the #MiddleEast, but it does not include emergency situations, El ​Pais added.

Trump again threatens widespread destruction in Iran if a deal is not reached soon

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening widespread destruction of Iran’s energy resources and other vital infrastructure, potentially including desalination plants that supply drinking water. Trump leveled the threats Monday, saying the U.S. would strike if a deal to end the war is not reached “shortly.” Iran, meanwhile, struck a key water and electrical plant in Kuwait, and an oil refinery in Israel came under attack. A drone hit a Kuwaiti oil tanker in Dubai waters, causing a fire. Israel and the U.S. launched a new wave of strikes on Iran, as the war raged with no end in sight.

#Trump also said that #Iran had agreed to allow 20 ships carrying #oil through the #StraitOfHormuz starting Monday morning & continuing over the next few days “out of a sign of respect” [I’m sure, that’s why 🤨].

“I would only say that we’re doing extremely well in that negotiation but you never know with Iran because we negotiate with them & then we always have to blow them up,” he said.

#Trump raised the idea of #US forces seizing Iran’s #Kharg Island, its main #oil terminal in the Persian Gulf.

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the newspaper. “It would also mean we had to be there (on Kharg Island) for a while.”
