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.

What would be the consequences of a semipermanent hostility between Canada and the U.S.? "They’re massive trading partners with each other, so it would hurt the Canadians more because they’re more dependent on us than we are on them, but it would hurt us as well," said Idrees Kahloon.
"The data that we've gotten from the Pentagon is quite limited. ... While there has been impact, we don't know the scope and scale of it," said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
