U.S. Pauses Bombing Iran After Officials Warn Trump About Dwindling Munitions Stockpiles (www.democracynow.org)

The U.S. has paused bombing Iran for a third straight night after senior Trump administration officials reportedly warned the president about dwindling munitions stockpiles. In response, Iran said it would pause retaliatory strikes against U.S. bases across the Middle East. Over the weekend, the Pentagon updated its official war casualty database, adding more than 140 wounded service members. The new figures show that 18 U.S. troops have been killed and 624 wounded since the U.S. launched its war against Iran back in February. The Pentagon is separating the casualty figures: Deaths and injuries after the ceasefire ended on July 7 are listed in a separate database labeled generically as “overseas operations casualties.”

Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry accused Ukraine of attacking an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, saying one sailor was killed and another injured. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia ⁠of passing on to Iran its satellite observations in the Middle East, allowing Iran to launch attacks across the region. This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit the White House Tuesday for the first time since the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran in February.

Despite the lull in fighting, Britain said its armed forces were ready to defend itself after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned the U.K. not to allow U.S. bombers to fly from U.K. bases. On Thursday, the IRGC claimed that the U.S. had flown bombing missions against Iran from Fairford Air Base in southwest England.

No we're just throwing people in concentration camps, and murdering them in the streets. Threatening various countries that we'll invade and starting wars. We may not have progressed as far as actual round ups in other countries yet, but Nazi Germany didn't start there either lol.

Organize with your neighbors, arm up, and find ways to root out Republicans out of your local government. If your voting is still in tact, then pound pavement and knock on doors with your organized neighborhood compatriots for local progressive candidates. If you don't know where to start, I started with a BBQ, but I think an Ice Cream Social or Community Potluck are good other options for those that live in apartments. I chose food as my icebreaker, but I'm sure there are other social activities that could serve as bait. Currently we've been stockpiling canned goods, water, antibiotics, and ammunition. Even if ICE doesn't show up(My initial pitch for organizing was about ICE), and things somehow get better without directing any violence on our part other than the act of voting, we figure, at least we're still prepped for emergencies.

And it doesn't matter if we didn't vote for Trump. Trump is still the douchebag in charge, as are his little child raping compatriots in the Republican Party, and being supported by the Supreme Court Justices (rulings that are not enforced, aren't real rulings, just like laws). So until others either see effective protest through civil disobedience, or effective self defense by killing those who threaten harm and have the capability of pulling off said threats, then yeah, I can't blame people for calling us Nazis.

And frankly, if you're not willing to organize as the most basic step, and prefer to keep making excuses, you very much deserve their "Bullying"(lol).
