Description

Iranian government-aligned media says Iran is walking away from the negotiating table and considering resuming its full closure of the Strait of Hormuz after exchanging strikes with the U.S. and in protest of Israel’s expanding military offensive in Lebanon. NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel explains the latest in the war — and how Israel’s deepest incursion into Lebanon in decades is making progress more difficult. Then, NBC News Senior National Politics Reporter Jon Allen explains why Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s sexting scandal doesn’t seem to be hurting his poll numbers in Maine and how Democrats nationwide are reacting amid their bid to regain control of the Senate.

The fact that Iran cares so much about Lebanon is telling.

This looks like another example of corporate media trying to smear an anti Zionist candidate. Nothing more

There is no ceasefire in Gaza.

Given the situation in the country and the world, some sexting is laughably irrelevant. We are murdering people on the seas, running an illegal war, kidnapping foreign leaders...and driving the national debt into levels that only intentional inflation will be able to solve. We need a Congress that will stand up to the autocracy, and the old guard has proven they won't do it. It's time to drop the purity tests and fight to get Congress working for the people. And media could help by covering the *important issues* instead of politics as a horserace..

It’s one step further than TACO. It’s like Trump‘s making it up—artificially bumping up the stock market. The real news gets out it goes down and then he basically lies and says we’re close again

I am not too impressed with NBC jumping on board with the smear-Graham campaign.

Iran won’t deal until Israel stops bombing Lebanon. Trump is Powerless to stop Israel so the world will suffer because Israel can’t sop committing Genocide. Israel controls America.

Iran can't be seen as surrendering without losing all credibility
