Given that Iran had neither shown any preparations for an attack on Israel nor made any military threats against it, the “preemptive strike” was certainly illegal under international law.
Did Israel Just “Blow Up” Trump’s Bid for an Iran Nuclear Deal?
On Thursday, Trump said he worried an Israeli strike might sink Iran nuke talks — or maybe it would help! What Netanyahu wants seems obvious.

This is insane. Musk, the world's richest man, owner of the most influential political messaging platform, and a de facto government member and top ally to the president, is accusing a journalist of being a criminal, because she reported on one of his racist DOGE staffers. This is fascist behavior.

Ukraine has created an experimental weapon that can intercept Russia’s guided bombs. They reportedly shot down a Russian KAB for the first time in the suburbs of Zaporizhzhia.
If they can recreate more successful intercepts it’ll save thousands of lives.
