The 4 American troops killed during renewed fighting between the #US & #Iran in recent weeks are no longer listed as part of the #IranWar death toll in the #Pentagon’s official casualty count. They have been placed in a new, separate category Sunday. It raises questions about properly counting the impact to US service members as the #Trump admin has escalated strikes on Iran. #TrumpsWar #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-casualty-count-pentagon-us-troops-4c578fc74746052627b1c87845fdc0d5

The #US #House again passes resolution seeking to halt #military action in #Iran as some #Republicans defect The House narrowly passed a resolution to halt military action in Iran, sending a warning to #Trump for the 2nd time as the #war has escalated & the future of the conflict is increasingly uncertain. The 214-208 vote requiring congressional approval for the war comes as the #Senate is expected to consider a similar resolution later Thursday. #law #WarPowers https://apnews.com/article/iran-congress-war-powers-resolution-vote-0ba2387a476fe08de0bfd6281adb9639

Though the votes forced by #Democrats are largely symbolic, they are meant as a strong signal to #Trump that his support on Capitol Hill is chipping away as the war drags on & lawmakers in both parties have questioned his admin’s endgame. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast #economy #inflation #affordability #CostOfLiving #oil #energy #EnergyCrisis

The resolution narrowly passed after a handful of #Republicans voted with #Democrats to end the #war. But the vast majority of Republicans voted to back the war & cede congressional #WarPowers to #Trump [as with everything]. Trump has insisted that continued #US attacks against #Iran do not mean a return to war 🙄 or long-term action [BS]. After the first #House vote to halt the war in early June, he posted on social media that it was “unpatriotic” & “meaningless.” #IranWar #law #economy

The #US #military Tuesday identified a soldier who was killed while disarming an #Iran drone in #Iraq as a 30-year-old from North Carolina. The military said it was investigating the death of Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton of Fayetteville during a controlled detonation Sunday at an air base in Irbil in northern Iraq. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #service https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-us-soldier-deaths-jordan-attack-5ec21d4f12fbdee658ec15ed8d3750ee

Swinton will get a Bronze Star, Purple Heart & Combat Action Badge, & be promoted to staff sergeant, the #military said in a statement. Swinton’s wife, Mia Gonzalez-Swinton, posted on social media that she was informed of his death Sunday. The couple have a young daughter. “I will never recover from this, you should be home. We had so many plans for when you got back, I’m sick to my stomach,” she posted Monday. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #Iran #US #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #service

At the one earlier in March, #Trump wore a baseball cap that is for sale on his business’ website. And just days later, his PAC used a photo of that dignified transfer in a fundraising email. It featured Trump saluting with a flag-draped transfer case, which holds the remains of a soldier, in the foreground. #kakistocracy #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #military #service

Now #Trump is doing something similar by claiming the troops most recently killed “don’t want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon.” And everything that’s happened in these episodes makes very clear why∶ Because when troops die, Trump can’t help but think about it in terms of raw politics. #kakistocracy #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #military #service

It’s happened repeatedly since the start of the #war, but his most recent comments to the media over the weekend drove it home. Speaking to NewsNation, #Trump offered something amounting to the kinds of comments expected from a president. He called the deaths “a very sad thing” while adding that they were “in service to our country.” He then repeated his goal that “we’re never allowing #Iran to have a nuclear weapon.” #TrumpsWar #IranWar #law #Congress #WarPowers #military #service

[PLEASE NEVER FORGET, THIS IS AN #ILLEGAL #WAR! #CONGRESS MUST GRANT #WarPowers FOR IT TO BE LEGAL] The #US & #Iran have…returned to all-out #war…. Earlier, the US #military said its strikes targeted Iran’s paramilitary #IRGC to retaliate for Friday’s killing of troops in Jordan. One service member was missing after that attack, but the military’s new statement said “unidentified remains” were found Sunday & were being examined. Since the war began, 17 US service members have been killed.

#US #military says 2 troops are dead & one is missing after #Iran attacked a base in Jordan. A statement says they were killed Friday as the US & partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile & drone attacks. These are the first US deaths due to Iranian fire since the opening days of the #war. It says 4 other service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals were later discharged. The dead were not identified. #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-hormuz-strait-war-july-18-2026-5adfef67554652580963684d9a663af2

The #US airstrikes hit #bridges overnight into Friday in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, killing at least 7 people, #Iran state TV reported. The attacks hit Bandar Khamir, a city on Iran’s coast on the #StraitOfHormuz. The #highway & #railway bridge strikes appeared aimed at cutting off Bandar Abbas, Iran’s main port, from roads leading to Tehran. #Trump #Congress #law #WarPowers #TrumpsWar #IranWar #WarCrimes #civilian #infrastructure #MiddleEast #RulesOfWar #InternationalLaw

While other routes still are open, the #US strikes could expand further, potentially disrupting both the movement of military materiel & goods needed for #Iran’s 90 million people. CENTCOM said it hit dozens of targets in its latest airstrikes, which concluded at dawn Friday, the 6th night in a row of US attacks. The strikes also collapsed a tower at Iran’s Chabahar port on the #GulfOfOman, a key #trade route for landlocked, neighboring #Afghanistan…. #Trump #Congress #law #WarPowers #IranWar

The interim ceasefire agreed to last month has collapsed [media is finally saying it], & the region has endured days of back-&-forth attacks by the #US & #Iran as they battle for control of the #StraitOfHormuz. Iranian officials say US strikes have killed dozens of people & wounded hundreds of others, with new casualties reported in Friday’s strikes. #Trump #Congress #law #WarPowers #TrumpsWar #IranWar #WarCrimes #civilian #infrastructure #MiddleEast #RulesOfWar #InternationalLaw
