Iran operation status reveals dangerous drift and distraction
Iran operation status shows a widening regional war, rising economic risk, and a White House with pressure tactics but no credible exit planhttps://thedemocracyadvocate.com/news-to-know/war-and-conflict/iran-operation-status/
"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.

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.”

He said the foreign ministers of #Turkey, #Egypt & #SaudiArabia endorsed Pakistan’s peace efforts. The ministers are expected to meet again Monday.
#Pakistan has emerged as a mediator, having relatively good ties with both Washington & Tehran. Pakistani officials have said their public effort follows weeks of quiet diplomacy.

Such a mission would expose #US personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones & missiles, ground fire & IEDs. It was unclear Saturday whether #Trump would approve all, some or none of the #Pentagon’s plans.
The Trump admin in recent days has vacillated between declaring that the #war is winding down & threatening to amplify it.

The #Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in #Iran, #US ofcls said, as thousands of soldiers & Marines arrive in the #MiddleEast for what could become a dangerous new phase of the #war should #Trump choose to escalate.
Any ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion & could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Ops forces & conventional infantry troops, said the ofcls.
