☠️ Israel uses phosphorus shells to kill Lebanese civilians Israeli jets dropped widely prohibited white phosphorus munitions on Kfar Roummane and Nabatieh, IRNA reported. The intense heat (up to 3,000 degrees Celsius and more) produced by such weapons often results in victims being incinerated to the point of leaving few remains. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🤬 Gulf allies start choking on Trump’s Iran war Frustration with the US is growing across the Persian Gulf, where Arab leaders increasingly doubt that Demented Don can manage the diplomacy needed to end the war he started with Iran, The Washington Post reported. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain are reportedly united in their aggravation with the Trump administration, with some officials even debating the value of continuing to host large US military bases. 💬 “Trump started this war,” one Gulf official said, “and we are paying the price.” One of Iran’s core demands of the US is exactly this: leave the region. And Iran has shown how much risk US installations bring to the countries hosting them. Trump now waddles between threats, fake breakthroughs and another Truth Social meltdown. One analyst said Gulf allies feel they were “unnecessarily entangled” in a war Trump is now struggling to resolve, while his Iran policy is being described in the region as “erratic” and “unpredictable.” 💬 “Whatever we do,” one Gulf official admitted, “we cannot say no to the United States.” That is not an alliance. That is a leash. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The New York Times reports that the USS Abraham Lincoln's supply crisis traces back to Iran's opening strikes on the war's first days, when Iranian missiles and attack drones heavily damaged the U.S. Navy base in Bahrain, the fleet's main logistics hub in the region for decades. With that hub destroyed and other regional ports like Fujairah also within Iranian missile range, the Pentagon shifted its supply chain to the British-run base on Diego Garcia, 2,200 miles from where the Lincoln and a second carrier strike group operate in the Gulf of Oman. Then-UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially denied the Pentagon access to Diego Garcia, only relenting on March 1 for what he called a "specific and limited defensive purpose." Iran later fired two medium-range ballistic missiles at the island; one fell short into the Indian Ocean and a U.S. warship intercepted the other. The Lincoln has now spent nearly nine months at sea without a single liberty port, well past the point where its crew would be eligible for five "beer days" under Navy tradition. Trump dismissed Democratic senators' concerns about the deployment on Friday, saying the ship is being replaced by the USS George Washington, and separately said the deployment was "not nearly long enough." Hegseth said the U.S. can maintain the Hormuz blockade "indefinitely." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Declining mental health among U.S. service members is being reported beyond the USS Abraham Lincoln to other ships deployed in the region that support operations against Iran, including the USS Boxer. One mother said her son has been aboard the Boxer since March, and while conditions are “not as bad as on the Lincoln,” the ship has gone several months without a port call, and mental health has become a serious concern. She said the aging vessel was originally scheduled for a different deployment but was rerouted to the Middle East because of shortages, despite being expected to retire after the other deployment, and has experienced several problems. Family members also say female sailors aboard the USS Boxer have run out of feminine hygiene products due to prolonged deployment extensions, missed port calls, and a lack of resupply. Sailors asked relatives to send additional pads and tampons so they could distribute them among the crew, but the care packages were never delivered. Source: Aaron Parnas
