Pan‑Seared Mediterranean Cod in Tomato Basil Sauce Ingredients 4 cod fillets (5–6 oz each), patted very dry 1 tsp kosher salt, divided 1/2 tsp black pepper, divided 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more to finish 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (or 2 cups diced tomatoes) 1/3 cup dry white wine (or seafood/chicken broth) 1/2 tsp sugar or honey (optional, to balance acidity) 1 tbsp capers, drained (optional but great) Zest of 1/2 lemon + 1 tbsp lemon juice 1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced (plus extra for garnish) Sea salt flakes to finish (optional) Instructions Season the fish Pat cod very dry. Season both sides with about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Sear the cod Heat a large skillet over medium‑high. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. When shimmering, add cod and sear 2–3 minutes until the first side has a light golden crust and releases easily. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more (it will finish in the sauce). Transfer to a plate; tent loosely. Build the tomato basil sauce Lower heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 20–30 seconds until fragrant (don’t brown). Stir in tomatoes, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, remaining pepper, and the wine. Simmer 3–4 minutes, stirring, until tomatoes start to burst and juices reduce slightly. Add sugar/honey (if using), capers, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer 1 minute more. Taste and adjust salt/acid. Finish the fish in the sauce Nestle cod back into the skillet (and any juices). Spoon sauce over the tops. Cook 2–4 minutes at a gentle simmer until cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temp about 135–140°F). Basil and serve Turn off heat. Fold in sliced basil and a drizzle of good olive oil. Plate fish with plenty of tomato sauce on top. Finish with extra basil and a pinch of sea salt flakes if you like. Serve with Crusty bread or garlic toast (to catch the juices) Lemon orzo, couscous, or herbed rice Simple green salad or sautéed greens Tips Any firm white fish works: halibut, haddock, hake, grouper, or sea bass. For extra body, whisk 1 tsp cold butter into the sauce off heat. Want more veggies? Add a handful of baby spinach to the sauce in the last minute to wilt.

Wow! Make no mistake: JD Vance is on a campaign to put Israel in its place. Here, he crucially reduces Israel's standing as a partner to the same level as the UK and France. That is, it is NOT a special relationship.

Repot from Qanareet, where at least 10 civilians including a family were killed today in an Israeli bombing. The Israeli army has relentlessly attacked Lebanon for a second day in a row despite a ceasefire being in place. Yesterday more than 50 civilians were killed and today so far at least 20 people have been killed.

Closing the Strait of Hormuz is only the first and the minor step Iran will adapt if paragraph one is not implemented and the US doesn’t stop Israel. For Iran, the security of Lebanon is non-negotiable.

@mooseincrisis 😅😅

Israel's Lebanon campaign is becoming one of the greatest strategic blunders in its history. It is rebuilding Hezbollah's prestige, wrecking ties with Washington, and spending elite officers on a line with no purpose. Here is how: 1) Senior officers know the current fighting serves no useful aim. The IDF holds a line ten kilometers inside Lebanon that does not even control fire over northern Israeli towns. The army tells the cabinet "you decide, we execute," with no real debate on objectives. 2) The cost is rising fast. Lt. Col. Dor Ben-Simhon, commander of the 52nd Armored Battalion, and three of his tank crew were killed near the Ali Taher ridge. He was the fourth commander of that battalion since the war began. His three predecessors were all wounded. 3) It is rebuilding Hezbollah's prestige and influence. Iran understands the trap Israel set for itself and is spurring Hezbollah on. A group that was battered now gets to stand firm against the IDF, link Lebanon to the Gulf, and extract concessions from Washington through Israel. Israel is handing it a comeback story. 4) It is wrecking the US relationship. Trump keeps imposing ceasefires because he fears Israel will sabotage his Iran track. Vance was blunt: Israel should stay quiet and accept terms because its dependence on the US is nearly total. He hinted at consequences, possibly even arms limits. 5) The political story is collapsing. Netanyahu cannot sell success when the Iran campaign ended without its promised achievements and soldiers keep falling in Lebanon. The polls are starting to show it. 6) The leadership is unserious. One minister called for killing a thousand Lebanese per IDF casualty. Another mourned Ben-Simhon and got his first name wrong. Not one government representative came to the battalion commander's funeral. Bennett did. 7) It is weakening the Lebanese government. The Aoun-Salam government staked its credibility on disarming Hezbollah through the Lebanese army, a plan that was popular outside Hezbollah's base. Continued Israeli strikes hand Hezbollah its strongest argument: it will not give up its weapons while Israel keeps bombing. Every strike undercuts the one government actually trying to disarm it. Bottom line: Israel set out to restore deterrence and secure the north. Instead it is restoring Hezbollah's standing, draining its friendship with Washington, and dying on a line with no purpose. Worst of all worlds. This could end with Hezbollah back in

Strait of Hormuz is closed again! Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command announced the closure of Strait of Hormuz due to what it described as the “blatant breach and violation by the United States of the first clause of the ceasefire agreement, and in response to the continuous and relentless violations of the ceasefire by the Zionist regime in southern Lebanon, the merciless killing and displacement of hundreds of thousands of oppressed people of this land, and also considering the failure of the Zionist occupying forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon, it is announced that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to vessel traffic.”
