Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends. He has no clue what heâs doing in Iran. [Cartoon by Brendan Loper]

Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents. Shameful.

Enligt vita huset pÄgÄr det inget krig mot Iran, och dÀrför behövs inget godkÀnnande frÄn kongressen. Det hela Àr endast en "specialoperation". Precis som i Ukraina, med andra ord.

There is a lot of speculation on Trump's health. Time and time again he talks about what's next. "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make it to heaven" he tells us. Maybe he will end up somewhere else.

Experten om attackerna mot Iran: Inte folkrÀttsligt befogat
USA:s och Israels attack mot Iran Ă€r ett solklart brott mot folkrĂ€tten. Det menar PĂ„l Wrange, professor i folkrĂ€tt. â Risken finns att andra Ă„beropar det hĂ€r exemplet, att Vladimir Putin eller Xi Jinping sĂ€ger att âom USA kan ingripa för att störta en regering utan nĂ„got beslut frĂ„n sĂ€kerhetsrĂ„det, dĂ„ kan vi ocksĂ„ göra detâ, sĂ€ger han.

Kommer den iranska militÀren att vÀnda sig mot sina egna ledare nÀr de blir bombade av "Stora och Lilla Satan" ? Kommer de att sluta leden? Notera att USA och Israel saknar marktrupper för sitt angrepp. Hur ser egentligen Trumps krigsplan ut? Ska man bomba sig fram till det amerikanska mellanvalet ?
