Iran said it launched a military attack on an American base in Qatar -- the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East, according to a statement by the country’s armed forces.
The base, which serves as the forward headquarters for the U.S. Central Command, was considered a prime potential target should Iran retaliate over American strikes on its nuclear installations over the weekend.

We’re on a terrible path that we aren’t even aware exists: collapsing the marine food chain.
The End Permian event did that. It was ugly. Lots of fungal spores in the fossil record, not a lot of bones. Barely anything survived.
We’re having issues with phytoplankton in the #GreatLakes too. Invasive mussels have done huge damage to how the food chain (Esp. in

Het veelbesproken compromis voor Cloud in de Rijksoverheid werkt niet.

Mail in de VS en je bestanden hier? Het werkt niet - Bert Hubert's writings
Zoals ik gisteren schreef, onze maatschappij en overheden draaien in steeds grotere mate op Amerikaanse clouds, en we maken ons hier nu terecht zorgen over. Want het is toch niet leuk dat de Amerikanen mee kunnen lezen in onze (overheids)gegevens, of zonder pardon de steker eruit kunnen trekken. We zouden dit graag snel op willen lossen, maar er zijn geen makkelijke en goedkope keuzes. Inmiddels heeft (volgens geruchten) bijna de hele centrale rijksoverheid besloten om de email toch nog op eige…

Iran launches missiles at US military base in Qatar in retaliation for American bombing (Associated Press)

Wel jammer dat Kati Piri er niet voor pleitte in een motie om als Nederland de Palestijnse burgers van adequate beschermingsmiddelen tegen Israëlische aanvallen en uithongering te voorzien, in plaats van te pleiten voor een embargo op de uitvoer van onderdelen voor de Israëlische beschermingssystemen tegen aanvallen van derden. Moeilijker natuurlijk, maar als politiek signaal mogelijk sterker.

A senior Iranian official has told Reuters that Tehran’s retaliatory strikes will continue.
The official added that Iran has the “necessary rationality” to begin efforts at diplomacy after it had punished “the aggressor”.

Massless monopole-string-domain wall fermions and polyhedral vacuum fermions
Fermion zero modes of Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield monopole-string-domain wall composites in three spatial dimensions are studied. We analytically solve the Dirac equation and prove the existence of one fermion zero mode. Depending on mass parameters of bosons/fermions in the model, the zero modes are localized either on the monopoles, strings or domain walls, which we call monopole-string-domain wall fermions. We also show that in special cases, the zero modes can be confined within a finite…

While we are looking at Iran/Israel/Gaza, Putin continues with his demolishing of Ukraine. Let's hope leaders at the NATO summit also discuss about how to counter Russia and prevent these kind of attacks. We defend Israel with allied forces why not Ukraine?
