Food. Tens of millions in the Gulf States rely on food moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Another part of the global supply chain that's under intense stress. Right now, not much of anything is moving through the strait, the cheapest and best method of moving the ginormous amount of supplies required for daily life for that many people. What happens if this thing drags on for weeks and months? What happens to the governments of Qatar, UAE and Bahrain when their people can't adequately feed themselves?

It's not a matter of getting supplies through. It's a matter of getting enough supplies through for that many people. If not by sea, then it's a massive and extraordinarily expensive problem in a region not known for it's infrastructure. This in no way, shape or form mirrors the US or Europe. Other than slivers of populated areas on the coast, those countries are vast swaths of nothing. Nothing but sand and desert with few roads and next to no infrastructure. Redirecting supply chains may not be possible. Certainly not to serve that many people.

What a mess.

Or families, or poorer communities, especially those who aren't WASE (White Anglo-Saxon Evangelical).
How many deaths did shutting down USAID cause? How much hardship in the US itself been caused this year by shutting down or narrowing the requirements to get food, energy, health, housing, and other low income assistance programs?

Trump-US Corp doesn't care about anyone who can't afford to pay for it's product (access to the government and it's resources) or can entertain it's C-suite and upper management.
And as an organization, Trump-US Corp is basically a collective of cults - basically "Conservative" Nationalism, which includes anything from Libertarian Techno- Fascism to Evangelical Nationalism; it assumes that the 250 million or so native born citizens residing in this country who don't belong to their associated cults doesn't belong in this country.

In Trump-US Corp, if you can't pay or pray enough to participate, you're not worthy enough to survive.

To paraphrase a collection of philosophical commentary I've heard from these so-called conservatives over the years, here is my rendering of the internal Trump-US Corp catechism:

We are the Blessed, the Golden Children of God; the True Americans and proud citizens of US created in His rich Image.
Those who aren't Blessed enough to be US are destined to hell; they and their worthless spawn must either submit or die in a work camp or a ditch.
Shithole countries who won't submit to US will be reduced to dust.
For the Golden ones, the Leaders, the Blessed Real People of God are US.
All other creatures are but useful tools, toys, or vermin.
Pass the Collection plate, Venmo, Debit, or Credit; Cash or Property accepted in the back office.
Amen

They just react. Like the Silicon Valley mantra I despise so much "move fast and break things." No, it's move fast and fuck things up. Then the rest of us rational people have to clean up the damn mess.

Most media is not remotely covering this adequately

They're just off to the next shiny object.

by our and Israel's abandonment of all pretense of concern for fundamental human rights.

No major news source or really anyone has validated this. Same quote being run mostly in Iranian publications. No verification. US denies it.

Qeshm Island Has 150,000 people on the entire island. It doesn’t make a lot of sense unless something errant hit it or it’s damaged by a close by hit?? It’s not on mainland Iran.
