This is terrifying: "According to several reports, it could feature a VLS, enabling it to launch nuclear-tipped cruise missiles or ballistic missiles. Israel would become only the second navy after South Korea known to field a VLS on a modern, air-independent propulsion, conventionally powered sub."

ALJAZEERA: "Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian outlines three conditions to end the war: recognition of Tehran’s legitimate rights, payment of reparations and firm international guarantees against future aggression." Seems like a reasonable starting point after your country was attacked.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime "American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

America has blood on its hands.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Incredible reporting here, that establishes the timeline, the details and the motive for why the elementary school strike that killed at least 165 girls, was likely deliberate. #Iran #iranwar Al Jazeera investigation: Iran girls’ school targeting likely ‘deliberate’ | share.google/TlVxPEsH3JSD...

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation

Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

If records tied to Donald Trump are missing from the Epstein files, that's not a coincidence. The FBI interviewed the victim multiple times, so those records exist. Where are they? Release everything, as the law requires. If there's nothing to hide, prove it.

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

MAGA ignores that the post-WWII multilateral order—anchored by the prohibition of force—is a historic paradigm shift. Replacing "survival of the fittest" with the rule of law brought unprecedented peace and prosperity. Abandoning this structure isn't just changing policy; it's breaking the world.
