enemy gets a vote
https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-in...gw-data-centerIran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a clear public warning to the U.S. that any damage inflicted on Iran’s power infrastructure will be met with decisive retaliation. Specifically, IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ebrahim Zol hari threatened the “complete and utter annihilation” of U.S. and Israeli facilities. The ‘hidden’ $30 billion Stargate AI datacenter in Abu Dhabi was singled out as a juicy target for Iranian destruction later in the video. The threats come on the heels of Iran reportedly delivering enough damage via rocket strikes to some Amazon AWS data centers that they have shut down.

The difference - and I can't believe I'm about to say something nice about the Spartans - is the Spartans had the good sense to keep with their allies.

Axios reporter: ‘Iran retaliated to the U.S. strikes by launching ballistic missiles towards U.S. bases in Jordan’

Answering a displaced service member’s question about retrieving personal goods from the base they previously called home, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle said the Navy would not be using Naval Support Activity Bahrain for the foreseeable future.

no declaration of war, therefore no benefits for the bereaved spouse
https://www.notus.org/defense/air-fo...ssing-benefitsThe Air Force is reviewing the case of a Gold Star widow from Alabama who wrote on social media that she was deemed ineligible for additional benefits following her husband’s death because Congress had not officially declared the military operations in Iran a war.
A spokesperson for the Air Force said in a statement that military officials spoke Monday with Libby Klinner, the wife of Maj. John Alexander Klinner, who was one of six service members killed when an aircraft crashed in Iraq during a refueling mission on March 12. The spokesperson added the Air Force wanted to ensure Klinner received “all eligible benefits she and her family are en led to.”
...
Two days later, Klinner said the director of mortuary affairs informed her the Air Force was “initiating an audit on our benefits to ensure that we receive all that we are en led to.”
The Air Force spokesperson said in a statement that they are “committed to addressing her concerns with care and respect,” but did not elaborate on why Klinner was initially told she was not en led to the extra benefits. The Air Force did not answer questions on whether other Gold Star families have also experienced similar issues.
