Lebanon’s health ministry has accused Israel of deliberately targeting health workers across the country. We spent days with paramedics in Nabatieh, which is being hammered by the Israeli military. They live away from their families, and work in constant fear of being attacked.

Aron D'Souza, the man who coordinated with Peter Thiel to take out Gawker Media, has a new venture that says it will use private investigators and AI to apparently push back on unfavorable media stories. It's claiming it has developed an "AI Tribunal," whatever that means.
Objection@objectionupdate

Legacy media. Anonymous sources. Narrative spin. Zero accountability. Peter Thiel is backing the system that ends it. Objection is live. objection.ai

+ Important clarification: President doesn't technically *present* the award, but historically presidents have been present for awards and shake hands of recipients. Trump's plans, as always, are TBD.

Drama at this year's White House Correspondents Dinner: The Wall Street Journal is being awarded the The Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability for its reporting on the "bawdy" letter that Trump set Epstein. Trump, who sued the Journal over this story, is expected to present the reporters with the award.

“From Tehran’s point of view, they think that they have Trump over a barrel. They think they have weaponized the world economy, have taken everything that America can throw at them, and came out standing,” said William Wechsler, director of Middle East programs at the Atlantic Council and a former senior Pentagon official. “Trump blinked first. Now, the Iranians won’t take a deal unless it is a deal in which Trump and Vance completely abandon U.S. national security interests in the Middle East.” @WillWechsler wsj.com/world/middle-e…
Yaroslav Trofimov@yarotrof

Iran has very strong cards going into peace talks with the U.S., top among them control over the Strait of Hormuz. But it risks, once again, overplaying its hand. My latest analysis in @WSJ wsj.com/world/middle-e…

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

History will judge this war not by what Trump destroyed in Iran, but by what it leaves behind: the fate of the regime, its nuclear program, its missiles and proxies—and its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. @AC360 with @brett_mcgurk @CedricLeighton

Here’s the 10 point peace plan found “acceptable” by Trump now circulating. Huge strategic defeat for the US, biggest loss since Vietnam. Shows the surge of Iran as the emerging 4th center of world power.

Now more than ever, our relationships with our neighbours matter. Tonight I spoke with Premier Li Qiang of the People's Republic of China. We talked about the importance of energy security, and how we can work together for the benefit of our nations and our region. We will continue to engage in dialogue to maintain our stable and constructive relationship.

Trump’s threatening premeditated war crimes on a huge scale and much of the news media is reporting it as a diplomatic story.
