Don’t mention the war, escalated bombardment edition

Don’t worry, if it doesn’t come from the Guerre region of France it’s just a sparkling military engagement:

U.S. and Israeli forces expanded their bombardment of Iran late Saturday, including with strikes on fuel depots near Tehran, as Iran’s de facto leader vowed to continue retaliatory strikes and to make the nation’s enemies “pay the price” for attacking it.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the attacks on fuel depots, which appeared to be the first on Iran’s energy infrastructure since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran last weekend, were part of Israel’s attempts to reach “many more targets” in order to destabilize Iran’s government and “allow for change.”

The Israeli military said it had targeted the fuel depots because they were being used by Iran’s military. U.S. forces on Saturday intensified strikes into Iran against a swath of military targets, including Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, air defenses and missiles, a senior U.S. military official said.

Iran’s de facto leader, Ali Larijani, a close confidant of the slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s, said that Iran was determined to avenge the killing of the leader, who died on Feb. 28, the first day of the U.S.-Israeli campaign of airstrikes against Iran. Mr. Larijani said the United States “must pay the price.”

“Americans must know that we will not let them go,” Mr. Larijani said on national television, as the war entered a second week. “Our people are with us, our leadership is united, there is no division in fighting Israel and America.”

Earlier, Mr. Trump blamed Iran for an airstrike that hit an elementary school in Iran on Feb. 28, killing scores of children. “In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran,” he said, adding, “They have no accuracy whatsoever.”

A New York Times visual investigation indicates that the school was most likely hit by an American airstrike.

It was an INSIDE JOB! I’m surprised that Alex Jones hasn’t gotten a job as a spokesman for the Department of Hegseth yet.

Meanwhile, we would appear to have yet another military engagement crime:

Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior said early Sunday that an Iranian drone attack damaged a water desalination plant.

If this ever turns into a war things could get really bad.
