It earlier warned civilians to quit swathes of southern and eastern Lebanon. Sign up here.
Where US and Israeli forces struck Iran Original
The United States and Israel launched their most ambitious attacks on Iran in decades on Saturday in an operation that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Russian Lives for Ukrainian Lands
Four years after its full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia occupies about a fifth of Ukraine’s territory. But after taking large swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine in the early months of the war — creating a land corridor to Crimea, which Moscow illegally annexed in 2014 — Russia’s gains have slowed to a crawl as the front lines have largely solidified.

Sen. Rand Paul has repeatedly said he will not vote in favor of the bill and Sen. John McCain, who dramatically sunk the Senate’s last attempt to repeal Obamacare, issued a statement today saying, “I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal. I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried.” Republicans need 50 votes to pass and the bill and can’t afford to lose any more senators’ support.
