Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt After the downing of an Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, the United States and Iran have begun trading missile and drone strikes in the most serious escalation of hostilities since the April ceasefire agreement. President Trump posted on social media Wednesday morning that Iran has taken “too long to negotiate a deal” and would now have to “pay the price!!!” For more, we speak to Mohammad Eslami at Tehran University, who says Trump’s “lies and broken promises” have shattered Iranians’ trust in a diplomatic solution. “Every night, there are lots of peoples chanting all around the street against Trump. And also, … unfortunately, many of them are chanting against negotiation with Donald Trump,” he says. “Right now they are asking the Iranian [forces] to retaliate.” Subscribe to our Daily Email Digest: https://democracynow.org/subscribe

Hitting water sources that are essential for the survival of civilians is a serious war crime - that's not a proportional response - whoever ordered our military to hit 2 civilian reservoirs should be in the Hague for prosecution for war crimes -

I heard other reports that the helicopter in fact had technical issues and that is why it went down. Anyways, here we go again, we all knew this was coming at some point. We are in it for the long haul, whether we like it or not, Israel and the US dragging the world into an economic crash.

USA/Israel destroying civilian infrastructures (apartments, educational institutions, hospitals, water, fuel, electricity infrastructures) vs Iran destroying military installations and bases - so who is no right side of the history and who has the higher moral standards?

Iran has taken to long to do what we want after we destroyed the nuclear deal with them then accused them of having uranium to produce nuclear weapons. The United States elite has become tyrants. It's very Orwellian. Everything the say is BS. They are criminals hitting water infrastructure. The ones in charge are actually the ones destrying the country but they are too dumb to realize it.

The people of the states are between a rock and a hard place. The moment the people respond as we want to, the orange dog dung-heap will give ICE the command to shoot to kill whenever and wherever they want. ICE at this point is comprised of bullies, misogynists, a few people that KNOW they are doing wrong and are so desperate for money that they refuse to obey their own conscience, and individuals who ACTUALLY ARE VERY LOW IQ. These will do whatever they are told because they lack the intelligence to discern legal & good from illegal & bad. Once ICE GETS THAT COMMAND, it will be shooting fish in a barrel and that is exactly what trump wants! He knows that despite there being more guns in the nation than people, he also knows MOST people DO NOT OWN A GUN so literally, a woman going to the grocery store in a blue T-shirt could be killed and ICE would call her a "domestic terrorist"! The people of the U.S. needs for the WORLD TO CUT OFF THIS NATION, SEIZE ALL U.S. ASSETS IN THEIR NATIONS, and pool their own weaponry to warn trump that any attempted military action will be met in kind.
