3 weeks ago, I stood in the desert on the shores of the Strait of Hormuz, peering into Iran. Today, I’m looking in from the other side - at the Armenia border with Iran - trying to understand what life looks like for those crossing after weeks of war, pressure and uncertainty.

Absolutely extraordinary. As a former OSCE and @unicef.org spokesperson, I’m stunned by NATO SG’s unwillingness - or inability - to condemn threats by Trump (aka “daddy”) to wipe out an entire Iranian civilization. Credit to @jaketapper.bsky.social for asking the question.

Headline: US to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany after Chancellor Merz criticises Trump war plan. “This is another example of the Trump administration shooting itself in the foot…This could encourage Mr. Putin to up his hybrid warfare in Europe and other mischievous deeds on NATO’s eastern flank”

Russia has attacked Ukraine with over 550 strike drones of various types - many targeting western part of country, including the historic center of Lviv. I lived right next to this beautiful cathedral for the first months of the war, always feeling protected

Donald Trump announces a conditional two-week ceasefire with Iran — hinging on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. My hot take from the region, plus why #Turkey may be the quiet winner in this crisis.

Two wars. One connector: Iran. From the Strait of Hormuz to Odesa -I’ve just covered both in under 48 hours. Iran fights in one theatre, fuels another. Ditto for Russia Overnight strikes in Ukraine prove it.

#BREAKING Southern #Ukraine port city of Odesa under what’s being described as “a massive Russian drone attack.” Fires 🔥 described as “terrifying” on one channel. A multi-story apartment building appears to have taken a direct hit. Water in city center - including in my home office - has stopped.

Being a credible global affairs reporter and commentator requires traveling to the frontlines to get the full picture - my quick hot 🔥 take from the Strait of Hormuz… #Iranwar

A shooter got through multiple rings of security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight. Trump evacuated. Everyone safe. This cannot keep happening. Instead of tonight I’ll be live on BBC News tomorrow between 10-11:30pm ET. 🎙️ #whcd #wcd

Massive massive explosions in Odesa city center just after 1am Thursday / 11pm GMT Wednesday. Some Russian drones have evaded robust defenses. The city has suffered an extremely severe attack. Water has stopped flowing, meaning a hit on critical infrastructure #Ukraine

My banner rejecting AIPAC money wasn’t allowed inside the NH Democratic Party event: apparently not in the “spirit of unity.” I’m united with Granite Staters who want big money out of our politics, with no exceptions.

May 31, 1998: Chicago's Scottie Pippen drives and scores with two minutes to go in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Indiana. Pippen had 17 PTS/12 REB/2 STL and Michael Jordan had 28 PTS/9 REB/8 AST in the Bulls' 88-83 win. The Pacers' Reggie Miller scored 22 PTS.

Yes, the grifting is beyond maddening.
