The U.S. has paused bombing Iran for a third straight night after senior Trump administration officials reportedly warned the president about dwindling munitions stockpiles. In response, Iran said it would pause retaliatory strikes against U.S. bases across the Middle East. Over the weekend, the Pentagon updated its official war casualty database, adding more than 140 wounded service members. The new figures show that 18 U.S. troops have been killed and 624 wounded since the U.S. launched its war against Iran back in February. The Pentagon is separating the casualty figures: Deaths and injuries after the ceasefire ended on July 7 are listed in a separate database labeled generically as “overseas operations casualties.”
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry accused Ukraine of attacking an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, saying one sailor was killed and another injured. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of passing on to Iran its satellite observations in the Middle East, allowing Iran to launch attacks across the region. This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit the White House Tuesday for the first time since the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran in February.
Despite the lull in fighting, Britain said its armed forces were ready to defend itself after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned the U.K. not to allow U.S. bombers to fly from U.K. bases. On Thursday, the IRGC claimed that the U.S. had flown bombing missions against Iran from Fairford Air Base in southwest England.
Well then the “world” is wrong. Stop being so fucking stupid and abandoning factual reality.
You sound like that Tesseract guy. It must be everyone else that’s wrong. Not Americans. Factual reality is that Americans caused this mess and no amount of “I didn’t vote that way” whining will change how you’re viewed.
I know my opinion isn’t popular, not even with me, but this is the way it is now.

Your opinion is wrong, factually. It is based on an incredibly poor understanding of the situation. You’re just looking to excuse your bigotry.
Some Americans are to blame, some are not. Which incredibly simple concept are you not getting? Democracy? Or the fact that the US is made up of more than one individual?
There is no logical basis for your bullshit argument and thankfully, no matter how presumptuous and pompous you apparently are, you don’t speak for the entire rest of the world.
Check the rest of the replies to your comments. Even your fellow countrymen are siding with me.
When you commented on the Japanese deserving to be bombed, no the individuals did not. Did Japan deserve to be bombed? Yes, just not with atomic weapons. Similarly, do all Americans deserve to suffer? No. Does America? Absolutely. The fact that you can’t understand that who your country is internationally is who you the American citizen are, just further lends weight to my argument.
Unfortunately unlike previous decades, you Americans don’t get to ignore the other 98% of humanity. Welcome to the century of American humiliation. You chose it, you live with the consequences.
You’re the one ignoring a huge chunk of our population. Shove your hypocrisy up your ass.
Oh, and also apparently we’re simultaneously policing the globe but also ignoring it entirely?
Ignoring the wants and agency of the globe is not incompatible with ‘policing’ the globe, especially given the style of American ‘policing’ is killing random fishermen and triple tapping girls schools.
And who cares about a large chunk of your population that is apparently powerless and too pathetic to do anything to stop the war crimes the US has been committing every single day of every single year since its founding.
Well yeah it is, by definition. If we’re engaging with the rest of the world in any way, we’re not ignoring it. Don’t move the goalposts, you dishonest piece of shit.
What country are you from? Or you another pussy on this site that refuses to divulge because you know what’ll happen? We all know you won’t.
