Went back to the reflecting pool with a waterproof camera. Here’s what it looks like underwater where a section has peeled up and was removed.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told ASML tonight that the US government believes that one of its ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines may have somehow made its way into China. Senior administration officials said they have evidence that ASML is not acting in good faith.

Tonight with @kaitlancollins and @BarakRavid on the Iran MOU shortly after it was signed by Trump and Iran’s president—the first document with Iran signed by American president since the 1979 Revolution. @CNN

[David Rennie @DSORennie]

To Asian allies, Carney-esque talk of middle powers saving a benign world order is a fantasy. They are sure only America can restrain a China bent on domination, and dislike what they see as selfish European posturing against Trump. My column from Japan https://t.co/Hl2BpN6eld

Avec tout le temps épargné en ne relevant pas et ne commentant pas les zigzags de D. #Trump sur l'#Iran, je dois arriver à au moins 6 mois d'espérance de vie gagnés...😉(attendons un accord et à ce moment-là, parlons- en) #faits

Si ce texte était exact, ce ne serait pas une victoire mais un triomphe de l’Iran. Je ne peux y croire.

.@IgnatiusPost: “The Trump-Xi narrative isn’t true. America keeps falling uphill.—Hold off on those announcements of the dawn of the Chinese century…China isn’t as strong as it appeared in Beijing, and America isn’t as weak.”

🚨While U.S. officials are optimistic that a deal will be signed within days, they also acknowledge it has not been finalized and could still fall apart. "We are in a very good place — but there are ways in which the deal can be undermined," a senior U.S. official said

[Phil Gordon @PhilGordonDC]

The fact that so many proponents of the Iran war are criticizing Trump’s looming deal is less an indictment of the deal than it is of the war. It means they can't defend the results of the policy they advocated for so long so are reduced to claiming that victory would have been around the corner if only Trump had stayed the course... (which only they seem to believe). They are right that the deal will leave the US worse off than before the war but fail to recognize, or at least refuse to admit, that the mistake was the war, not the deal.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The Telegraph can reveal a secret Chinese surveillance platform used to track foreigners, journalists and individuals deemed “of interest” to the state

@sophia_yan explains how the platform's records label her as "trackable" ⤵️

[Henry Gao @henrysgao]

The biggest myth is that China plays the long game and "think in terms of centuries". Just to name a few recent counter-examples: the disastrous one-child policy, abrupt ending of COVID-zero, and the crack-down on tech firms.

Dommage que je ne fasse plus d’intervention pédagogique pour expliquer la différence entre « politique d’une seule Chine » et « principe d’une seule Chine » car certains en auraient bien besoin…

[Gregg Carlstrom @glcarlstrom]

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 https://t.co/bg5rLtEOJS

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/
