‘Two options’ for Trump in Middle East war: ‘he waits or he escalates massively’

‘Two options’ for Trump in Middle East war: ‘he waits or he escalates massively’

Published by Sam Flores

US President Donald Trump confirmed on Fox News that the US and Saudi Arabia coordinated attacks on Iran-backed Iraqi militias with the Iraqi government itself. But Iraq has called the strikes a ‘blatant violation’, and its prime minister has called off a meeting with the Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salmane due to the attack. This comes as the US struggles to put an end to the war with Iran. FRANCE 24’s Angela Diffley tells us more. Keywords for this article Source link

What are Trump’s military options? | US-Israel war on Iran

What are Trump’s military options? | US-Israel war on Iran

Published by Sam Flores

Last week, it was reported that US President Donald Trump placed massive attacks on Iran on hold after a meeting with advisers at the White House. Clearly, domestic political pressure on him and on the Republican Party over rising economic costs is fierce. Current polls suggest nearly 70 percent of Americans oppose the war. Despite assertions, notably by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, that Iran’s military has reached “its lowest point ever”, Iran is still able to conduct massive drone and missile strikes. Some intelligence suggests Iran has reconstituted and increased its capacity to build these weapons. Meanwhile, the US has moved more aircraft and missile defence units in preparation for what may be a campaign to target staging points for Iranian forces. Two Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) and components of the 82nd or 101st Airborne are currently stationed in the region. Yet, reports that the US and its Gulf allies have exhausted defensive missile magazines, as well as Tomahawk land-attack missiles, may be a powerful constraint. While Trump appears not to have made a …

As the war rekindles, what options are left to the US and Iran?

As the war rekindles, what options are left to the US and Iran?

Published by Sam Flores

The US and Iran have rekindled their tit-for-tat strikes as both battle over control of the Strait of Hormuz. It comes a month after a preliminary deal was signed to end the conflict. Kuwait and Bahrain faced renewed aerial attacks from Iran, with Theran saying it was targeting US military bases in the Gulf. But how long can that conflict last?

Gig Work, Planning Agency, and the Relevance of Outside Options

Gig Work, Planning Agency, and the Relevance of Outside Options

Published by Jenni Sidey

Brightly clad delivery drivers, darting in and out of restaurants and traversing the city on bicycles, mopeds, or in cars, have become a persistent sight across urban areas. Their routines persist even when heavy rain or oppressive heat empties the sidewalks. These delivery drivers are the most visible representatives of a growing segment of the labor market: gig workers, who have no stable employment contract but get paid for each task they complete. The recent rise of gig work has been driven by technological advances, like smartphones and the Internet, which allow for just-in-time coordination. Yet the work arrangement itself is not a novel phenomenon. In early industrial England, handloom workers were typically paid per piece, dockworkers in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries were hired on a daily basis, and day laborers have been common in agriculture since ancient times. In fact, from a historical perspective, the formal employment exemplified by unionized work in the post-war era is the aberration. Yet such formal employment has become the norm throughout wealthy countries. Our social safety nets …
