The future trajectory of American policy in the Middle East now depends on whether Trump gets dragged away from his UFC birthday party to attend a Situation Room meeting about this tonight

So Iran is not handing over its uranium, is "promising" to not acquire a nuclear bomb, and is getting $25 billion in its assets unfrozen and the oil sanctions lifted. Why did we go to war again?

[Barak Ravid @BarakRavid]

Iranian officials haven't confirmed a deal will be signed today. Ebrahim Azizi the chairman of the national security committee of the Iranian parliament wrote on X: "A strong response [against Israel] is coming"

Solar overtook coal in US power generation in May, the first time the renewable source bested the fossil fuel in a calendar month https://t.co/akKKHTz7oj

Kuwait is offering to sell its crude to refiners in Asia for the first time since the Iran war started.

Another key sign that more Middle Eastern crude is flowing “dark” via the Strait of Hormuz by tanker (on top of what’s moved via bypass pipelines)

Trump's polling is at or near all-time lows, including in an area that has long been his superpower: handling of the economy.

Republicans are sounding the alarm, while White House officials are downplaying it & saying things will improve after the Iran war. (Story in reply.)

🚨🚨🚨IDF spokesman: The Air Force attacked military targets in Western and Central Iran a short time ago

Here is a great piece about why oil hasn't surged to $200 yet. But also, this is a good reminder of one of Trump's most consistent rhetorical techniques. I don't recall anyone saying $300, but in this frame, $96 looks even more impressive https://t.co/Cm20GB9Fz3

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

🚨Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs Sunday in retaliation to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said
🚨Why it matters: Iran threatened last week to launch a missile attack against Israel if it attacks Beirut. Such a move could unravel U.S.–Iran negotiations and reignite the war
