12·1 hour agoWhat the fuck is wrong with the UK these days? It used to be a pretty open-minded place, but now it’s rocketing backwards. Is it just a race to beat Nigel Farage to full-on fascism?

5·2 days agoThe real narrative may have just been that Netanyahu has always wanted to destroy Iran and Trump was stupid and vain enough to be persuaded to do it for him. Since Trump can’t admit a mistake, he has to double down.

News@lemmy.world•Iran begins mining Strait of Hormuz as Washington's tanker escort claim collapses - Türkiye Today
142·2 days agoWright posted that “the US Navy successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing to global markets,” crediting President Donald Trump with “maintaining stability of global energy during the military operations against Iran.”
Within hours, a senior source in the IRGC’s naval force told Iranian outlet Iran Now that the claim “has no basis in truth,” insisting that no US-escorted tanker had transited the strait.
The source described the announcement as part of a “media war and attempts to mislead public opinion,” adding that the strait remains under “precise surveillance” by Iranian forces and that “any military movement in the area is fully monitored.”
Wright subsequently deleted the post without public explanation, undermining a week of administration messaging aimed at convincing the world that commercial traffic would soon resume.
For an administration that relies so heavily on propaganda lies, they are remarkably terrible at lying.
In any case, even if it were true and not a pathetic lie, Donald Trump would deserve no credit for slightly mitigating the problems Donald Trump caused when Donald Trump decided to start bombing Iran and slaughtering its civilians.
