The irony of Trump having pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, of money laundering charges last year, only to be faced with Iran using Binance as a shadow funding mechanism to keep the regime and country afloat, can only be described as tragically sad.
Of note is Zhao's involvement with the big Abu Dhabi investment that really launched World Liberty Financial (Trump crypto). As they say, your sins will find you out.

The storyline is that she is leaving to care for her husband that has a rare form of bone cancer. Hmmm........
Bone cancer is the worst. The pain will be excruciating.
Yes, absolutely the right call. You don't leave your spouse to die like that alone.

If President Trump agrees to a 60-day ceasefire extension based on vague Iranian promises to “discuss” nuclear issues, it’s game over. That pushes the crisis into late July or early August, when major military operations become far less likely ahead of the midterms.

Sounds like the bombing may resume if Iran is actually making public statements like that. It can't be going over well with the US reps or the administration.
You don’t sideline an ally who fought along your side in a major military operation. Either this is just another in a long list of smears against Netanyahu, who the disreputable NYT and Jerusalem Post despise, or a very big strategic mistake.https://t.co/GbjZFPkoNY
