Can it be argued that Iran has won the war by surviving and keeping control of the Strait of Hormuz? "I think it depends on who you ask — who’s winning or who’s losing. Certainly, you can’t say the United States has won the war, as President Trump has said," said @amnanawaz.bsky.social.

"Journalists are part of a broader civil society in this country that has been under siege, and what I think a lot of people, when they look at Washington, ... and they say we’re revolted by this spectacle, they include the press in that ...
"It's a tragic moment, of course, that politics and violence have become so interweaved that we didn't even really pause for very long to think about what it meant and what it tells us about our politics today," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social about Saturday's alleged assassination attempt.
"If you're Taiwan's government right now, how are you feeling about America's commitment to your security?" asks @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. "I think, if you're in Taipei right now, there's reason to be nervous," says @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
