The United States evacuated diplomats as attacks intensified across the Middle East, with drones striking the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, while President Trump signaled the conflict with Iran could turn into an extended war.

Israel said it sent ground forces across the border into southern Lebanon and bombed Beirut suburbs as fighting with the Iran-backed group Hezbollah resumed after more than a year.

The U.S. and Israel kept up their attacks in Iran, where the death toll rose to 787 on Tuesday, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society. Explosions were heard in Iran's capital of Tehran and other parts of the country.

Trump said Monday that the war could last four to five weeks, but could go longer than that.

The Epstein-Trump war is going to kill so many of our citizens and innocent Iranian school children.

I don't really understand why we're just letting this happen

Any thoughts on how we normal citizens can stop it?

Idk, we're being drown out on social media by the bots and outright manipulation by intrested groups and can't get information out about protests.

Maybe we need to just flood the zone calling for a general strike starting today. Not in a month, and not being held up by astroturfed bs groups calling for it in a month.
