reporting is scanty so far, but it seems the US is bombing Iranian-backed groups in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq
Joshua Harris, Chargé d'affaires, US Mission to Iraq in a statement: The United States' war is with Iran only.
with his barbaric pogrom against nonwhites and foreigners in the USA and stuff like this just starting to happen, I don't see how Trump doesn't end up being the principal villain of the 21st century
https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/east-...gy-crunch-hitsThe South Asian nation of 170 million people has started fuel rationing, sent students home and scrapped celebratory light displays over the energy crunch.
One man was killed on Saturday night in the southern Bangladeshi district of Jhenaidah after an altercation over refuelling with staff.
Following the 25-year-old’s death, angry crowds torched three buses and vandalised a petrol station, police said.
On Tuesday, queues stretched for 1.5km (nearly one mile) through Dhaka’s city centre.
“My boss left the car here and took a rickshaw to reach his destination,” said Kamrul Hasan, who was waiting in a vehicle almost at the end of the queue.
Petrol station worker Akhtar Hossain said he had not stopped for hours.
“Even during the Gulf War, we didn’t experience this sort of rush,” Hossain said.

hundreds of thousands of people displaced in Lebanon
Most of you equal princesses should love this move
I recognize they are being bullied. Shia vs Sunni. Now we have 1 Islam.
Europe exited this endless headache. We will fight them at home and deport.

Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait International Airport and the 5th Fleet Navy base in Bahrain got hit yesterday
https://www.stripes.com/theaters/mid...-20916010.htmlThe U.S. naval base appears to have taken extensive damage following several days of Iranian missiles and drone attacks. Iran struck the headquarters of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command at Naval Support Activity Bahrain, as well as multiple warehouses and satellite dishes on base.
anonymous sauces say the US is fed up with the war and wants Israel to stop in one week
https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/03/...o-end-the-war/A senior political source from the Middle East tells Israel Hayom that the US wants the military campaign against Iran to end, and has given Israel just one week to conclude it. The source also assessed that the regime in Tehran is unlikely to be replaced, because such a change would require either a ground invasion by troops or the renewal of large-scale protests inside Iran, something the source does not believe will happen in the near future.
According to the senior source, there is a major gap between how the war is viewed in the US and how it is seen in Israel. In Washington, the source said, officials are worried about the impact on oil prices, whereas Israel sees the war as an achievement and is celebrating it.
Houthis said to be joining Iran in the war
Blocking Bab al-Mandab would close the Suez Canal
Bombing the out of the Houthis didn't work
The US scurried away from Operation Rough Rider to avoid a more obvious loss, without achieving its objectives
Those objectives were removing the Houthis from power and denying them the ability to close Bab al-Mandeb -- the US has apparently failed on both counts
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March–...tacks_in_YemenOn May 6, President Donald Trump declared the strikes to be over, "effective immediately," as a result of a ceasefire between the U.S. and the Houthis, brokered by Oman.[16] The Houthis asserted that the ceasefire did not in "any way, shape, or form" preclude attacking Israel, which had just begun bombing Yemen.[17]
The Houthis resumed attacks on commercial shipping in July, 2025.

epic miscalculation
prove them wrong, Pete Hegseth
begging for help defeating a "100% defeated" Iranian military
escalation seems like a bad idea
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/iran/hormuz-minefieldIn the Strait, Iran Holds the Advantage—and America Has No Good Options
Interesting that Trump includes China in his Truth Social begging
I thought keeping China out of the Persian Gulf was a long time strategic objective
I guess fixing Trump's mess is more important now
(very small but nonzero chance that Trump's insane war of choice eventually gets the US kicked out of the Persian Gulf and China invited to secure it)
will South Korea help now that Trump as removed their THAAD battery?
hard to say
Trump 6 days ago:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9dn3j04lydo...
"The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. "That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer - But we will remember.
"We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"
Speaking on Air Force One in response to a question about the use of UK bases in the war, Trump referred to his post on Truth Social, saying: "We don't need them," appearing to reference the carriers.
...
Everything is obviously going according to plan. Or according to a concepts of a plan.
impeach and remove
Trump's cooked

setting aside neutrality maintained since 1815, Switzerland has called the US/Israel war in Iran illegal
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...ys-2026-03-08/The United States and Israel have broken international law with their attacks on Iran, Swiss Defence Minister Martin Pfister said in an interview published on Sunday, the latest European leader to raise #concerns about the conflict.
and there it is
"There is a risk of terrorist attacks in Switzerland ... the war could trigger a wave of refugees that will also reach us"
Europe received robust immigrant flows during the Iraq war, ~450,000 Iraqis went to Germany
I'm doubtful that'll happen again
I can honestly understand wanting to beg other countries to help at this point, but why do it this way?
I'm really astonished by Trump's repeated public begging
Even if Dept of State is totally cratered out, he can still talk to people on the phone, right?
