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.

    Your responses here don’t help. You are playing the rude, standoffish yank, and that fits the ‘all americans’ narrative perfectly. Gives ‘not all men’ vibes.

    With all due respect, I think I have a reason to be upset. It’s entirely unjustified. I think calling someone you know nothing about a Nazi just might be considered “rude”. I’m being equated with the greatest monsters in human history because of where I was born. And if I were doing this to people from another country, I have my doubts you would be ready to justify my actions.

    I am not the cause of people calling me a Nazi. The fact that I’m American is the reason. All these people who don’t know me get to trash me left and right and I’m the asshole if I don’t like it. It’s bigotry by definition.

    And frankly, if we’re “Nazis” the rest of world is doing a very, VERY poor job of stopping us. Or doing anything. In fact, I can probably guarantee most of the people calling me a Nazi have leaders that work with Trump and allow him to visit their countries and such.
