On April 13, Trump posted himself as AI Jesus, attacked the first American Pope, and ordered a naval blockade of the strait his war closed. Pope Leo XIV called it a 'delusion of omnipotence.'

An estimated 100,000 civilians dead from collapsed water and sanitation. Baghdad still gets three hours of electricity a day, 35 years later. Iran is four times that population, and its grid was already failing before the first bomb fell.
