"I can't, simply, keep track of the number of cities that are being attacked. It is getting to be a very long list now. ... All across the country you have cities ... that have been targeted. It seems to be that this is no longer just a campaign that is focused on nuclear sites in Iran. This is a very wide range of targets, including government facilities, defence ministry facilities and also the Iranian army and the Iranian national guard."
- Mohamed Vall, Al Jazeera correspondent in Tehran
"Donald Trump has made an appeal and said to the police and to the Republican Guard to 'Lay down your weapons: if you don't, it's likely that you will die.' The problem he's got is that his message isn't getting much beyond the borders here in the United States鈥攎aybe even around the world but it's not getting into Iran. He cut back Voice of America, which had a big Farsi services鈥攚hich would've broadcast the words of Donald Trump."
- Alan Fisher, Al Jazeera chief US correspondent, in Washington
Listening to Netanyahu's latest speech. Same talking points as Trump earlier, about how the Iranian people are getting the support they've been asking for, how this is their rare opportunity to rally in the streets to overthrow their leaders and free themselves from tyranny. How the nations reported to have bombed a school today are "with them."
If anyone was still in any doubt about whether anyone was pouring fuel on the recent Iran protests, hopefully that's been cleared up for them today.

Many news photos are never seen on news sites or in newspapers, because when people's tax dollars are spent on expensive weapons and fired at innocent people it's considered distasteful to show them the consequences.
Some are gruesome, and cross a line. It's not necessary or helpful to share them.
But I think photos like the one above should be shown more often. It's not identifying. It's not gratuitous. It just shows people exactly how their dollars were spent, and that is necessary.
