EcoHealth and Peter Daszak among the "co-conspirators"? Former Senior NIAID Official Indicted for Concealing Federal Records During COVID-19 Pandemic justice.gov/opa/pr/former-… "According to the indictment, Morens, Co-Conspirator 1, Co-Conspirator 2, and others conspired during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud and commit several offenses against the United States after NIH terminated Co-Conspirator 1’s grant. NIH terminated the grant, Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence (bat coronavirus grant), based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China. NIAID awarded the grant to Company #1 and Co-Conspirator 1, who made a subaward to the WIV. Following the termination, Morens and Co-Conspirator 2 pledged to help Co-Conspirator 1 restore the termination of the bat coronavirus grant and counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab. In anticipation that their communications would be requested through a FOIA Request, Morens, Co-Conspirator 1, and Co-Conspirator 2 agreed in writing to intentionally hide from public view their communications by corresponding using Morens’s personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH email account.

In this interview with @margbrennan the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog pours some cold water on the Omani foreign minister's claim that a nuclear deal was imminent on the eve of the war Somewhat academic at this point, but a useful corrective. Oman (understandably) had an interest in making it seem as if negotiations were bearing fruit. In reality there was still an enormous gulf between the American and Iranian positions cbsnews.com/news/rafael-gr…

On the comparison between Bush's war against Iraq in 2003 and Trump's war against Iran this week, there are some important differences. THREAD 1/

Ayatollah Khamenei was more willing to die than to compromise. Days after his killing, no one in the regime currently has the legitimacy, authority, or the will to reverse a 47-year culture of resistance. At the moment the regime appears more prepared to break than to bend.

"Many people in the Gulf woke up Saturday pissed off at the United States and Israel, and went to sleep pissed off at Iran." Good piece by @yarotrof on how Iran's strikes on the Gulf aren't having their intended effect—compelling them to pressure Trump to end the war—and indeed seem to be backfiring. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

Did you know ? UAE just stopped the biggest modern aerial attack ever 708 Iranian projectiles in 48 hrs ! • 541 drones • 165 ballistic missiles • 2 cruise missiles Double what hit Israel + 5 Arab states combined. Zero major damage. Elite level.

💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years. axios.com/2026/03/02/tru…

"The boss is getting fed up. Some people around him warn him against going to war with Iran, but I think there is 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks," one Trump adviser said

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷Trump meets with top advisers to discuss Iran crisis as war threat grows. My story on @axios axios.com/2026/02/18/tru…

Why is Trump planning to attack Iran again? We were told last summer that our bombing then “obliterated “ Irans nuclear weapons program.

Last year they "urged" China to cut subsidies. Now they have truly thrown down the gauntlet, & are "calling" for such action. The world trembles.

Tulsi Gabbard has been investigating baseless allegations that Venezuelan hackers rigged the 2020 election That's alarming, as it could indicate that Trump is trying to establish a national security rationale for seizing voting machines in November vox.com/politics/47826…
