More War

Plus: Trump issues a fresh round of threats against Iran, a U.S. missile reportedly hit another school, it's peak bloom for the cherry blossoms in D.C., and more...

Monday morning escalation. President Donald Trump is starting the week off on a belligerent note.

In a Truth Social post, the president said if Iran's new leaders do not agree to a deal to end the war "shortly" and if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened immediately, the U.S. will "will conclude our lovely 'stay' in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!)." (Kharg Island is a small coastal island and an important export hub through which 90 percent of Iran's oil exports pass.)

According to reporting from The Wall Street Journal, Trump is also considering conducting a military operation to seize Iran's 1,000-pound stockpile of enriched uranium. And last night, the president said that Iran is "not going to have a country" unless they submit to U.S. demands to end the war.

The White House reportedly transmitted a 15-point plan to end the war to Iran via Pakistani intermediaries last week. Iranian officials have said they've received the plan, but no direct negotiations are ongoing. An Iranian spokesperson said U.S. demands are "excessive" on Monday.

Meanwhile, Iran continues to launch missiles and drone attacks on its U.S.-allied Gulf neighbors. Iranian-allied Houthis in Yemen entered the war on Saturday by launching missiles at Israel.

In both issuing threats of a wider war and saying the negotiations are going swimmingly, Trump reveals his own eagerness to quickly end the conflict. Unfortunately for Trump and everyone else, the war the president started with Iran is not something he can end unilaterally.

As Reason's Matthew Petti wrote last week:

The fundamental problem is that Trump put Iran's back against the wall. He began the war trying to kill "past, present, and future" Iranian leaders and threatening the rank-and-file with "certain death." Worse yet, Trump played the same trick on Iran twice. In June 2025, he treated U.S. negotiations with Iran as a ruse to enable an Israeli attack. Half a year later, Trump did exactly the same thing, bombing Iran right before the next round of talks.

Iranian leaders now believe (and have said so publicly) that the only way to avoid being attacked again in six months is to extract a high enough price as a guarantee against future attacks. That doesn't mean they will succeed. But it does mean that Trump alone cannot decide when the war will end.

In short, it's in Iran's interest to keep the conflict going and make it as painful as possible in order to deter future U.S. aggression. Truth Social threats won't change that reality.

Mistaken missile strikes. U.S. missiles hit an elementary school and sports hall on the first day of the war, a New York Times investigation has found.

The school and sports hall are immediately adjacent to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps facility. The Times says it's not clear whether the school strike was intentional, the result of a flaw with the type of munition used (which had not previously been used in combat), or the result of improper target selection.

Iranian media claims that 21 people were killed in the strikes, including several children.

The strike occurred the same day as a U.S. cruise missile hit a girls' school in the city of Minab, killing 175 people.

Scenes from D.C.: There's much to complain about when it comes to spring weather in Washington, D.C. Peak bloom of the city's famous cherry blossoms isn't one of them. Who doesn't love a good cherry blossom?

PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM!

It's official! The cherry blossoms are opening & putting on a splendid spring spectacle. See you soon.

• Israeli police prevented Catholic clergy from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate Mass on Palm Sunday, citing security concerns during the ongoing war with Iran.
• Several Australian states are suspending public transit fares to cope with higher oil prices resulting from the war with Iran. Any profit-seeking business would be raising fares right now to profit from increased demand for substitutes to auto travel.
• I doubt any Star Trek: The Next Generation episode passes this test.

...Trump is also considering conducting a military operation to seize Iran's 1,000-pound stockpile of enriched uranium.

Lucky for me my car runs on enriched uranium.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Make that uranium pay its fair share!

[Rev Arthur L kuckland (5-30-24 banana republic day)]

Drop in a few tons of liberator pistols into Iran and tell the people it's up to you now, take back your country

[Fist of Etiquette]

...the president said that Iran is "not going to have a country" unless they submit to U.S. demands to end the war.

Ideally it's the Mullahs that won't have Iran. Or vice versa works too.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Once Iran runs out of cardboard they will have no leaders left.

[Rev Arthur L kuckland (5-30-24 banana republic day)]

Ross Douthat

Who is this guy and why should I care about what he says?

[Fist of Etiquette]

...the war the president started with Iran is not something he can end unilaterally.

The argument has been put forth that this is ending a war started decades ago. Do we think that might be the case?

[Fist of Etiquette]

...the only way to avoid being attacked again in six months is to extract a high enough price as a guarantee against future attacks.

They might want to assess how vulnerable the current president is to public opinion.

[Idaho-Bob]

The school and sports hall are immediately adjacent to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps facility.

Old Hamas trick.

The Times says it's not clear whether the school strike was intentional, the result of a flaw with the type of munition used (which had not previously been used in combat), or the result of improper target selection.

The Times speculating on intent is fucking hilarious. Reason quoting The Times is even funnier.

[Spiritus Mundi]

OMG innocent people get hurt in war! Trump pressed the trigger persoanlly on those sweet, little kids. This has never happened before in the history of war!!! The Iranians haven't struck a single non-military target!

Next up at Reeeeason: the Jews made him do it.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

I feel like we have this ignore the Islamic groups targeting civilians, be outraged at their propaganda of us or Israel accidentally killing a civilian every couple of years.

[Medulla Oblongata]

More Christians macheted to death by Muslims in Nigeria this weekend.

More Christians killed in Nigeria by Muslims than have been killed in all of Gaza during the Israeli "genocide".

https://anglicanmainstream.org/article/over-50000-christians-killed-in-nigeria-by-islamist-extremists/

[mad.casual]

Also an old propaganda trick:

Take the same bombing cite, report on it four weeks later, building by building, to make is seem like *another* building was wrongly or indiscriminately struck when, in fact, you're talking about the same bombing.

E.g.
Four raids were carried out in the bombing of Dresden between Feb. 13 and Feb. 15 1945.

vs.

The Bombing of Dresden destroyed 12,000 homes and dwellings including the Catholic Hofkirche Church, Residenzschloss Dresden Palace, and several Renaissance and Baroque art galleries containing works by masters such as Raphael, Titian, and Rembrandt. Some 31 Hotels, 19 Hospitals, and 17 regional churches and chapels were also destroyed in the bombing.

I mean, if breathlessly reporting on blowing up a school didn't generate the reaction you wanted, I don't see how adding a gym is going to help you rather than just make you look desperate. Maybe try not to desensitize people with "mostly peaceful" burning police stations and cries of "Insurrection!" while dodging all coverage of other actual massacres and violent unrest next time.

I sat through a talk in the early 00s about using software to do this. You feed in, e.g., the straight stats from a game of sportsball and the software can frame it "Commanding 1-0 victory by favorite local team over other town rivals." and "Other town rivals give up narrow 1-0 loss, snatched from the jaws of defeat by favorite local team."

[Jerry B.]

"Russian car finishes second in drag race. American car next to last."

[Minadin]

The strike occurred the same day as a U.S. cruise missile hit a girls' school in the city of Minab, killing 175 people.

Allegedly. These people taking the Iranian state TV's claims as fact also report casualty figures from Hamas like they are gospel.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Im just happy they found another 20 bodies to add to the death count. Sure no actual bodies or names. But that number keeps climbing.

[Medulla Oblongata]

And the "girls school" was adjacent to--shared a wall--with the IRG station that was bombed.

[mad.casual]

Again "same day", it was the same strike targeting the same base.

Even in this photo from Mar. 4, where the school is labeled. The long, narrow building in the middle of the walled compound was identified as a Health Clinic, the northernmost buidling of the two overlapping targets in the Southwest corner is the "Gym". Even this photo from the CBC *still* lists it as "IRGC Naval Base targets".

[Social Justice is neither]

Love how they completely skip over the Iranian war crimes of intentionally mixing military and civilians targets just to blame the US.

[Spiritus Mundi]

...Trump reveals his own eagerness to quickly end the conflict...

Are you sure, because he keeps sending more troops to the region.

Perhaps somebody at Reeeeason should get around to reading The Art of the Deal. It appears the mullahs have done so.

And the school systems, as institutions, deal with it largely the same way the Catholic Church dealt with priests who were molesting minors, move them to different schools and hide the previous allegations from the people the new location serves. Which the Church was roundly condemned for.

I agree they're shuffling them around the same way but it seems like the Catholic Church didn't have SROs walking the hallways that would require an *extra* level of obfuscation to avoid.

Judging by the pictures of the snow shoveling effort, he was overpaid.

Considering how much of the sidewalks are frontage for property owners, the whole thing was a fucking sham. I shoveled my 20' of frontage. My neighbor is a big commercial building; they shoveled their 100' of frontage. My other neighbor is a douchebag, he shoveled a little walkway instead of the whole sidewalk. But at the end of the day, all the property owners shoveled their own properties. Just like everywhere else.

"Those will be counted 3 days after the election."

I think we honestly need to lean HARD into actual voting restrictions.

A great start, aside from the SAVE act, would be tying the vote to tax paying status. If you are a net zero or net receiver of benefits, no vote for you. If you actually contributed, you get to vote.

Well this is a puzzling development considering the US won the war multiple times already, that talks are going very well with a person that can speak for Iran, but can't be identified (which is odd on it's own, considering the US already won), the strait is already open and that Iran already gave us a very nice gift that Trump also can't identify.

4th grade health class:
The universal sign for choking is putting both hands on your throat. If someone tells you they're choking or that they can't breath, do not begin the Heimlich Maneuver. Remain calm. Contact EMTs. The fact that they can tell you they can't breathe, especially loudly or forcefully, means their lungs are still moving air in and out of their airway.

6th grade wrestling:
A legal headlock traps the head and at least one arm using two arms by the athlete employing the headlock. A headlock that circles only the head (without capturing an arm) with both arms is dangerous because it becomes a neck crank or choke. The wrestler performing the headlock needs to either include one or more of their opponent's arms when locking in a choke hold or perform the hold without locking the other person into the hold, using only one arm.

Of note: Headlocks that are illegal in freestyle wrestling may be legal in other forms of wrestling and other grappling sports.

Its no longer a one off, its a recurring theme: annoying privileged spoiled white liberal following around ICE agents who are black and brown screaming at them about how deporting illegals makes them fascist.

They are the "Silence, brown people. A White liberal is speaking" meme.

Seriously, I wonder if they ever notice "hey....a lot of brown people work for ICE and CBP..."

"The Revolving Door Between the Press and Progressive Groups Is Spinning Fast"

https://www.nationalreview.com/2026/03/the-revolving-door-between-the-press-and-progressive-groups-is-spinning-fast/

"There’s the temptation to argue that the conservative-media-to-Trump-White-House pipeline more than compensates for these moves, but this is a cope. The Trump pipeline exists for only one administration, and it draws from a tiny handful of outlets. By contrast, the sheer number of mainstream journalists who have staffed Democratic offices, especially under Obama and former President Joe Biden, is vastly larger, spanning multiple administrations and drawing from a much deeper pool of legacy-media talent. The Trump pipeline is real, but it’s nothing compared to that which exists now and that which existed even decades before Trump gave politics a try."

Spain chooses individual and civilizational suicide.

"Noelia Castillo Ramos is dead. In the mere 25 years she spent on this earth, nearly everyone in her life except for her immediate family failed her. But it was Ramos’s native Spain and its government that may be primarily responsible for consigning her to the worldly torment that she was so desperate to escape. In the end, the most that Spain could do for Ramos was to kill her."

"The BBC reports:

A former friend of Castillo, Carla Rodríguez, tried to enter the hospital to persuade her to change her mind, but told Spanish media that police had barred her from entering . . . . “The institutions that should have protected Noelia failed her,” wrote [conservative People’s Party] leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo on social media. He added: “I refuse to believe that the state did not have the tools to give her care.”"

"Still, even if it distracts him from his country’s many domestic challenges, the prime minister spends much of his time issuing bombastic condemnations of Israel and the United States. And it seems his fellow Spaniards are eager for the distraction. As my former colleague Abe Greenwald has often written, anti-Westernism and its close cousin, antisemitism, help losers avoid confronting the conditions that made them losers in the first place. It’s a dreary, self-reinforcing cycle, but it’s also one to which the Spaniards seem committed.

Ramos’s fate is analogous to that of the country in which she was unlucky enough to be born. Under a leftist government, Spain has no higher ambitions than to become a critic of Western civilization and its priorities as it settles into a warm bath from which it will not emerge. Noelia Castillo Ramos’s ordeal was tough to watch. It is no easier to observe a once great civilization consign itself to civilizational suicide."

This was a line neither the Spanish Inquisition nor Francisco Franco would have crossed.

"Ethics" article argues for compulsory abortions for minors.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/force-pregnant-girls-to-have-abortions-says-ethics-article/

"The authors, a University of British Columbia philosophy professor and an aspiring philosopher, emphasize the fact that minors are children. From “Justice for Girls: On Provision of Abortion as Adequate Care” (citations omitted, my emphases):

'Both opponents of abortion and liberal defenders of a woman’s right to control her own body make a mistake in relation to impregnated children. They both overlook that an impregnated girl is a child. As such, the adults responsible for her care should never pressure or compel her to continue a pregnancy. Nor should they confront her with the three “options” of abortion, adoption, or mothering, as medical professionals are currently advised to do. Instead, her adult caregivers should view her impregnation as a malady and take steps to terminate it.'"

"There is a word to describe “philosophy” like this: totalitarian. Indeed, it reminds me pungently of China’s “one-child” policy that also involved forced abortion.

For those who say that girls will never be forced to abort, just remember that about ten years ago journal articles started pushing puberty blockers for gender-confused children, in some cases regardless of parental wishes. We all know how that turned out in places like California.

In any event, the fact that an article as authoritarian in its argumentation as this one appeared in one of the country’s most prestigious philosophy journals — and passed peer review, no less — is deeply troubling."

I criticized Anthropic's Chief Philosophy Officer (or whatever) for being unserious. In her and Anthropic's defense (as well as validation of their retardation about their models' 'self-confidence'), more seriousness, rather self-evidently, doesn't necessarily fix any given philosophy.
