Summary

Benjamin Netanyahu is now openly signaling the Iran war is far from over, even floating the possibility of U.S. troops entering Iran to secure enriched uranium as fears of deeper American involvement intensify. Neoconservative writer Robert Kagan warns in a dramatic new piece that Washington is facing “checkmate” in Iran and may no longer be able to control the consequences of the conflict. Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted Marjorie Taylor Greene as a “proven bigot and antisemite” during a clash over Gaza.
