#warpowers — Public Fediverse posts

Later Sunday, #Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency cited the governor of #QeshmIsland, located near the strait, as saying under a dozen projectiles had been fired at military targets there, with no casualties. There was no immediate #US military comment. The largest island in the Persian Gulf is home to about 150,000 people.

IRNA said explosions were also heard in the coastal city of #BandarAbbas & inland, in Hajiabad, a city to the north.

Iran's Guards seize #wartime power, weakening Supreme Leader's role

2 months into a war with the #US & #Israel, #Iran no longer has a single, undisputed clerical arbiter at the pinnacle of #power — an abrupt break with the past that may be hardening Tehran’s stance as it weighs renewed talks with ​Washington.

Demand the U​.​S. House of Representatives RE-vote to stop the illegal war on Iran: https://www.change.org/p/demand-the-u-s-house-of-representatives-re-vote-to-stop-the-illegal-war-on-iran

The inspiration is the 19th cent #MonroeDoctrine that prioritized #USsupremacy in the #WesternHemisphere & which #Trump has embraced & renamed the “#DonroeDoctrine.”

Experts say that while the revival of this playbook may have unnerved some #US #allies, it could also serve the interests of #Russia, locked in a war in #Ukraine, a former Soviet republic, & #China, which has long had its sights set on #Taiwan.

The #Senate has advanced a resolution to limit #Trump’s ability to conduct further attacks against #Venezuela, sounding a note of disapproval for the president’s expanding ambitions in the #WesternHemisphere.

Hurlburt cited a retired #US general who viewed the #Trump White House move in #Venezuela & its fixation on #Greenland as reminiscent of teenagers playing the geostrategic board game Risk.

“Once you start down the road of the #MonroeDoctrine or the #DonroeDoctrine, or whatever we’re saying now, you look at a map of the #WesternHemisphere, & there is Greenland,” she said.
