Tech Won’t Save Us (@techwontsave.us)
In the US-Iran war, data centers are a target. Iran has struck several Amazon facilities, including another one just this week in Bahrain. This week @sambiddle.com joins @parismarx.com to dig into why data centers are a target and how the military uses AI. Full ep: https://techwontsave.us/episode/322_why_iran_is_attacking_data_centers_w_sam_biddle

The Strait of Hormuz is the U.S.’ problem now — whether Trump likes it or not

The ceasefire between the USA and Iran is clearly over, so probably the next predictable step is another round of strikes by Israel and the US.

#Trump and #Netanyahu seem to have convinced themselves that the #Iran regime would collapse once decapitated. But as Umberto Eco said in his essay "Ur-Fascism"

"He insisted that the shipping lane would “just open up naturally” after the war"
That's a possibility. If the bombing on #Iran fully stops, what excuse would Iran have to close the strait? Keeping it closed hurts their own oil revenue and the world will blame them for the closure.

Seventeen years ago, while serving as an Iran desk officer in the U.S. State Department, I asked a more veteran colleague about the latest inflammatory statement by Mahmood Ahmadinejad, then the Iranian president. My colleague responded: “Stop paying attention to Ahmadinejad. Only focus on Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. He makes the important decisions.” He added: “But don’t worry. Change is coming. Khamenei”—who was then 69 and widely believed to have cancer—“could die at…

Outcome is very uncertain because both players (Iran and USA) can be lying and are unreliable. But still financial markets have a continuous unwarranted optimism.

RE: #Iran

Trump boasts about striking Kharg Island. There is no doubt the US can almost completely destroy everything in Iran, but still Iran will have the capability to strike back in some way, somewhere, that is what asymmetrical warfare is all about. Trump doesn't seem to realize that. Also just flattening and destroying the whole of Iran is not a strategy...
#iran

Not in every headline anymore but thousands of people are dying in Ukraine every month, that war rages on while we are watching Iran... Also it is and should be Europe's priority.

Iran knows the US is unwilling to resume military operations so it can take a tough stand in the negotiations, drag them out over a long period if necessary. Meanwhile keeping the pressure on Israël by supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran can try to call Trump's bluff, it is not very attractive for him to "restart" the fighting, it would also be terrible for the Gulf states, financial markets etcetera...

Damage for US by Iranian strikes was larger then reported.
#iran

Iran has hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, satellite images show
Imagery published by Iranian state-affiliated media and verified by The Post shows damage to at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at U.S. military sites.

It will be interesting to see how many concessions Trump will make. Because it is clear Trump really doesn't want to restart the war against Iran. It must be a great negotiating position for Iran.
#iran #usa #war

Helping in defense against attacks from Iran should be the maximum that Europe does, no involvement in any actions against Iran, on or above it's territory or anything like that. We need maximum resources for security on our own continent and for the war against Russia. It would be typical Trump to first destroy Iran and then ask Europe to clean up his mess...
#iran

No worries, Trump's diplomatic masterminds are at the helm...Just like with Ukraine.

So Trump is probably looking for some face-saving delay for the deadline. After which Trump will have made himself less credible again (!) for any future deadline. Also what remains is a mentally disturbed president threatening civilzations..
#Iran #USA

Iran talks show glimmer of progress as Trump deadline looms
The thinking in the White House has shifted from "can we get there?" to "can we get there by 8 o'clock tonight?"

Europe should only protect ships in Hormuz under european command, not under NATO or US command because the US is involved in offensive operations against Iran we don‘t necessarily agree with. But i hope Europe stays out of this Trump/Netanyahu initiated conflict.
#iran #hormuz

I am a bit confused, if Trump allows Chinese oil tankers through Hormuz, it will also allow a large part of Iranian oil exports.. (funding the IRGC)? 🤔
Trump is losing leverage as a result from this because Iran will have a steady income from selling oil to china.
#iran #usa

Nice map which explains that oilshortages will start in a few weeks, not everywhere, some parts of the world will be fine.
#oil #energy #geopolitics

From a military point of view, as German Defence Minister Pistorius has noted, the US doesn't need european ships as escorts in Hormuz, if you think about the size of the US Navy. So it is probably just to get Europe involved in Trump's/Netanyahu war on Iran. I hope we will pass.
#Iran #USA

Israël probably won't like the idea of a two-week ceasefire as Pakistan has proposed to Iran and the USA 🤔, also a good time for Iran to recover a little, maybe import some weapons from Russia etcetera
