Iran says it did not mean to shoot down US Apache attack helicopter near Strait of Hormuz and it was "unintentional."

How about this for a nuanced airstrike?
The Saudis have launched air-raids on Iran, but have indicated explicitly this is in direct response to strikes on Saudi Arabian facilities by Iran, and does *not* represent Saudi joining the US/Israeli campaign of attrition against Iran.

Tl:dr Even the Pope appears unsafe from the clutches of Trump’s fascism.

"Last night, Trump bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.
In the wake of these events, there has been little to no discussion of the theological motives behind all this. But theology matters, and it may be what tipped the scales in favor of attacking Iran."
~ Diana Butler Bass
Bass then points to the recent text of Mike Huckabee, ambassador to Israel, telling Trump he was spared by God to be the "most consequential" president ever.
