The commander of the Iranian Air Force stated: "We targeted American aircraft carriers with a number of missiles and drones. The carriers' defenses failed to intercept some of the missiles, and they sustained direct hits."
Pro-American media outlets are now promoting the idea that the fire that broke out on the aircraft carriers was caused by an electrical short circuit.

The photo captures them carefully rolling up what appears to be an unfinished quilt that they are working on together outside their home.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Mi state buttando fuori dall’aereo perché ho ascoltato un video senza auricolari al 50% del volume?”: caos sull’aereo, passeggera viene fatta scendere
Su un volo American Airlines diretto a Tampa, la partenza è stata ritardata da una scena che in pochi minuti è finita sui social. Una passeggera è stata fatta scendere dall’aereo mentre il velivolo era ancora al gate dell’aeroporto di Miami dopo un acceso confronto con il personale di cabina. Il motivo? Stava guardando dei video sul suo telefono senza auricolari e col volume molto alto.
Nel filmato, pubblicato su TikTok, la donna protesta con gli assistenti di volo e con gli agenti intervenuti a bordo. “Ho guardato un video per trenta secondi al 50% del volume ed è per questo che mi fate scendere?”, dice più volte, sostenendo di aver interrotto la riproduzione dopo essere stata richiamata dall’equipaggio. “Mi avete dato due avvertimenti e io ho smesso dopo il secondo”, insiste, cercando di spiegare la propria versione dei fatti. La donna, descritta da alcuni passeggeri come “ubriaca”, aveva mostrato agitazione appena salita sul velivolo, fino all’ascolto dei video con proteste dei presenti a bordo.
“È ancora l’America della libertà di parola o no?“
Nel video, la passeggera continua a protestare mentre percorre il corridoio dell’aereo. “È ancora l’America della libertà di parola o no?“, chiede a uno degli agenti. “Non posso esprimere quello che penso?”, domanda poco dopo, mentre gli viene indicata l’uscita del velivolo. “Può farlo laggiù”, replica uno dei poliziotti indicando l’uscita dall’aereo. La scena si conclude con la donna che viene scortata verso l’uscita mentre alcuni passeggeri applaudono gli agenti.
L’episodio accade mentre diverse compagnie aeree stanno rendendo più rigide le regole sull’uso dei dispositivi elettronici a bordo. Alcune, come United Airlines, hanno già aggiornato le proprie condizioni di viaggio: chi guarda video o ascolta musica sul cellulare deve farlo con le cuffie. Chi si rifiuta rischia non solo un richiamo dell’equipaggio, ma anche di essere invitato a scendere dall’aereo prima della partenza.
L'articolo “Mi state buttando fuori dall’aereo perché ho ascoltato un video senza auricolari al 50% del volume?”: caos sull’aereo, passeggera viene fatta scendere proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.
“You’re kicking me off the plane because I listened to a video at 50% volume without headphones?”: chaos on the plane, passenger is made to exit.
On an American Airlines flight direct to Tampa, the departure was delayed due to a scene that quickly went viral on social media. A passenger was asked to deplane from the aircraft while it was still at the gate of Miami International Airport after a heated argument with cabin crew. The reason? She was watching videos on her phone with the volume very high and without headphones.
The footage, published on TikTok, shows the woman protesting with flight attendants and arriving security personnel on board. “I watched a video for thirty seconds at 50% volume, and that’s why you’re making me get off?” she repeatedly says, claiming she stopped the playback after being called back by the crew. “You gave me two warnings, and I stopped after the second,” she insists, trying to explain her version of events. The woman, described by some passengers as “drunk,” had shown agitation as soon as she boarded the aircraft, escalating to protesting the video playback with the presence of other passengers on board.
“Is America still the land of freedom of speech or not?”
In the video, the passenger continues to protest as she walks down the aisle of the plane. “Is America still the land of freedom of speech or not?” she asks one of the security agents. “Can’t I express what I think?” she asks shortly after, as she is directed towards the exit of the aircraft. “You can do that over there,” replies one of the police officers, pointing to the exit of the plane. The scene concludes with the woman being escorted towards the exit while some passengers applaud the officers.
The incident occurs as several airlines are tightening rules on the use of electronic devices on board. Some, like United Airlines, have already updated their travel conditions: anyone watching videos or listening to music on a cell phone must do so with headphones. Those who refuse risk not only a warning from the crew but also being asked to deplane before departure.

#Iran and what to make of it
Timothy #Snyder Mar 02, 2026
Lying is an art, and #Trump is an artist. But he is an artist of diminishing capacity; and he has now chosen to apply his art to war, a subject he finds appealing but about which he knows nothing except that he likes it.

Meanwhile, in Europe..... Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah !!!!
On #trump 2.0 ― an inconsequential European view:
I see lots of previously sprouting if belated plans to tackle global issues unraveling, and lots of nooses tightening.
I could explain 2016 as sheer ignorance, albeit stemming from malignant seeds.
2020 gave #America an opportunity to leave the maga derangement era behind, or at least to render it less harmful but for the absolute freedom to lie combined with the sociopaths' control of key media networks (esp. in the "swing states").
This was created by Rupert #Murdoch (congrats?) in crucial collaboration with pro-fascism American (and South African) billionaires and boosted by hostile foreign disinfo and propaganda networks.
The 'honorary' collusion awards go to the legacy media networks for their incessant sanewashing and bothsideism; and the post-neo-con former Republican Party for not even attempting to fight its fascism within.
🥂 The biggest winners: #putin, #CCP, the kim dynasty, #netanyahu, trump cronies, American regressives and most every current and aspiring autocrat and despot across the planet; corruption and sycophancy.
💩 The biggest losers: US civil society, #Ukraine, #Taiwan, human rights globally, environment, climate change, the eponymous "rules-based world order" and any hope to rebuild a truly effective "coalition of democracies" which the US Democrats knew to be necessary to stop the global slide towards autocracy and "might over right" free-for-all... Despots will be further emboldened to target their subject populations without fear of consequences from the USA.
I'd be tempted to say "Fuck you America. We trusted you", but... oh wait I'm totally saying it!
(I'm pro-EU but recognize that similar forces are at work knee-capping EU ethics and decision-making and the "Fuck EU" types are aligned with the maga)
The magas might be (read: *are*) still a minority in the USA, but so are the decent people standing up for democracy 💔. The large deciding third of the indifferents won the argument.

is for good men to do nothing."

#CNN is publishing "Everyone is watching to see whether #Kurdish fighters will launch a ground offensive into Western #Iran"
Kurdish academic and poet #HawzhinAzeez, former co-director of #TheKurdishCenterofStudies answers
"Who are we? Let me tell you, #America! We are the #Kurds you betrayed in #Rojava, north-east #Syria, your anti-#ISIS coalition partners. You sold us to #Turkey in 2018, which annexed our Kurdish city of #Afrin for allied jihadist factions. Then again in 2019, when our cities of #SereKaniye and #GireSpi were handed over to Turkey for “security concerns,” even though not a single bullet from Rojava had been fired toward Turkey. And once more in 2026, when you handed us over to the former ISIS and #alQaeda Syrian regime under the extreme hardliner #alJolani. Thousands of us were massacred, ethnically cleansed, hunted street by street. Our women fighters were beheaded, their braids cut as war trophies by jihadist men.
We are the Kurds you betrayed in #Basur, northern #Iraq, who held a popular referendum in 2017, winning by 97% to separate from Iraq, a country that had ethnically cleansed and murdered us for years, only for our freedom to be denied. The Iraqi central government, encouraged by your condemnation of our referendum, attacked us and forcibly took over our Kurdish city of #Kirkuk.
Pure Evil. This is from a report on budget cuts made by #Trump --he knows he'll get American troops killed. He Doesn't Care
