A #MiddleEast-based maritime center overseen by the #US #military warned Sunday that there’s a “high” risk to US associated ships after the American strikes on #Iran #nuclear sites.

“The threat to US associated commercial shipping in the Red Sea & Gulf of Aden is currently assessed as HIGH,” the Joint Maritime Information Center, which is overseen by the US #Navy, wrote in an advisory to shippers.

The #US #military struck 3 sites in #Iran early Sunday, inserting itself into #Israel’s effort to decapitate Iran’s #nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals could spark a wider regional conflict.

#Trump says Iran’s key nuclear sites were “completely & fully obliterated” by US strikes. Speaking hours after the attacks, he threatened more strikes & said Iran faced a choice between “peace or tragedy.”

Reuters images showed #Marines apprehending a #civilian, restraining his hands w/zip ties & then handing him over to civilians from #DHS.

Asked about the incident, US #military's Northern Command spox said active duty forces "may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances."

"Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel," a spox said.

Per Idrees Ali of Reuters:

The #troops are authorized [by whom? Not by law] to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until #LawEnforcement can arrest them.

Federal agents have just handcuffed California Senator Alex Padilla and forcibly removed him from a news conference when he dared to question Kristi Noem. This is a demonstration on the body of a Latino elected official of what the Trump regime intends to do to any of us who question.

The latest deployments prompted a new wave of misleading images to spread—some purporting to show #Marines & the #military service’s weapons in action. One was a still from “Blue Thunder,” a 1983 action-thriller about a conspiracy to deprive residents of #LosAngeles of their civil rights. It features a climatic dogfight over the city’s downtown.

Notably, #PeteHegseth has railed against #military lawyers who promoted what he saw as unduly restrictive rules of engagement aimed at protecting #civilians in war zones. He has fired the top judge advocate general (#JAG) lawyers who give advice on legal constraints.
