I must say, I did not have Afghanistan attacking Pakistan on my 2026 bingo card. Will have to do a little digging into finding out how that came about.
When scoundrels fall out. Maybe the great peacemaker can swoop in and do a deal.
And he would likely succeed, as these want to hurt but not destroy or invade each other, and so will want to deescalate later down the line. Desperate and non-serious Trump could be the perfect middle man.
I reckon,anyway. Maybe I am wrong.
You couldn’t make this up.

Israel bombing Iran again:
Not just Israel but the US too. Apparently Iran has launched ballistic missiles toward Israel.
Apparently there have been multiple explosions in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Qatar.
Found this a bit sneaky. Though the beeb understands the uk was not involved in the current phase it seems the door is open to some type of involvement, see the third sentence in the sinpit below…
Doesn’t the Uk have a long relationship with Bahrain or assets in the region? I assume it is a reference to that?
I agree but it is feels like a convenience. In that as there is an understanding that the Uk will “take care” of shielding Bahrain and Uk assets there, it then conveniently allows the US to concentrate resource elsewhere.
Maybe I’m being too cynical.
Everyone is weaselling out/walking the political tightrope but LOL to the Russian response.

The Russian democratic front putting the west to shame … Oh wait … ![]()
US is hunting Iranian T-1 leaders. Khamenei might or might not be dead right now. Head of Revolutionary Guards, minister of defence and head of intelligence seems to be dead.
And no moves ongoing to close the Hormuz Straits.
It’s possible that the US got some cas on the hits on their bases, but Irans problem is that already, missile salvos are lower and lower and sequenced multi-salvo launched is about to get impossible to launch.
Israeli military corrospondent:
Yeah ! ![]()
Interesting points.
