Heading and text from article: More War Crimes The New York Times has now confirmed through visual investigation what we have been reporting. The U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb, one of the largest in its arsenal, on a home on Qeshm Island, killing a husband, his wife, and their two-year-old son. The Times found no military site anywhere near that house. Not anywhere close. This is a war crime, plain and simple, and Iranian officials are already vowing retaliation, describing it as a continuation of what they call American atrocities in other Iranian towns. From the bombing of a girls’ school to this, the U.S. keeps killing innocent civilians throughout this war. Was AI used for targeting during this strike too? Are they using the same AI bots that they used for their map of Africa which mislabeled every single country and put them in a random order with no relation to reality? That’s why I don’t laugh off these “mistakes,” like when the U.S. mislabels a map because they used AI. Because they are using these systems to make decisions of life and death.

Heading and text from article: Suspected Iranian Hackers Hit Water Systems In Seven States, Trump Blames Minnesota We covered this a bit yesterday, but I want to make sure you have all the latest info. Officials told the Wall Street Journal that suspected Iranian cyberattacks have now struck water infrastructure in at least seven states. The FBI issued a warning after roughly 30 water treatment plants in Minnesota were hit, forcing some utilities into manual operation and prompting boil-water notices. A memo obtained by WIRED ties the Minnesota attacks directly to Tehran. Trump decided to take Iran’s side in all of this, and blamed Minnesota for being, in his words, grossly incompetent, insisting Iran has bigger problems to worry about. Governor Tim Walz shot back that Trump knows exactly who’s responsible and knows other states were hit too, calling it exactly what modern warfare looks like. Given that Iran has been targeting U.S. water and energy infrastructure for years now, across at least seven states, it would be nice if the president at least pretended to care about protecting U.S. citizens.
