Geopolitics
Israel has launched a series of preemptive strikes against Iran, codenamed ‘Operation Rising Lion’, targeting multiple military and nuclear sites in Tehran and other locations. According to Israeli intelligence assessments, the operation resulted in the death of Major Gen. Hossein Salami, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and potentially eliminated the entire Iranian general staff along with several senior nuclear scientists. Iranian state media reported that the strikes targeted key facilities like the Natanz nuclear site and the Arak heavy water reactor, with explosions and smoke visible over Tehran.
Iran has vowed a “decisive retaliation” against Israel and the United States, whom they accuse of supporting the attack. Despite the U.S. distancing itself from the strikes, stating they were not involved and prioritizing the safety of American forces, the U.S. and U.K. have reportedly joined forces with Israel to counter an Iranian drone threat, with fighter jets from all three nations intercepting drones.
President Donald Trump, aware of the strikes in advance, expressed hope that the action would bring Iran back to the negotiating table, aiming to prevent further escalation into a broader conflict. The strikes have led to a surge in oil prices, with both Brent and WTI crude prices rising over 12% due to fears of supply disruptions. However, critics argue that the strikes might be an attempt to sabotage ongoing negotiations, pointing out that the U.S. and Israel might be using military action to pressure Iran into concessions.
Health
Scientists have reportedly found identical DNA changes in 46 individuals, raising questions about the potential long-term effects of mRNA vaccines. These individuals exhibit symptoms similar to those associated with vaccine injuries, including autism-like symptoms, seizures, and developmental delays. The findings have sparked a debate on the safety and genetic implications of these vaccines. However, geneticists caution against jumping to conclusions about vaccine causation without comprehensive studies, noting that genetic mutations can occur naturally or due to various environmental factors.
Defending his purging of the Advisory Commitee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Dr. Paul Offit of profiting $186 million from a vaccine he helped add to the CDC’s childhood vaccination schedule. This accusation stems from Offit’s role on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), where he voted to include the rotavirus vaccine, which he later sold the patent for. Dr. Offit has responded to these allegations, stating that his involvement with the rotavirus vaccine was disclosed, and his financial gain was a result of his work, not his position on ACIP.
US Politics
In domestic news, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to rescind $9.4 billion in federal spending, targeting foreign aid and public media funding. This legislation, which now heads to the Senate, includes cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Institute of Peace, and the African Development Foundation, among others. The bill also codifies previous savings by the Department of Government Efficiency, totaling $180 billion. However, there are concerns that this bill might face challenges in the Senate due to its potential impact on international health programs like PEPFAR.
Controversy surrounds the reported appointment of Billy Long as the new IRS Commissioner. Senator Elizabeth Warren has expressed concerns that this could lead to significant changes in tax policy, given Long’s history of supporting legislation to abolish the IRS and replace it with a different tax system.
Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was handcuffed and removed from a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) press conference after reportedly lunging at Secretary Kristi Noem. Secretary Noem has expressed willingness to contact Padilla to discuss the matter, indicating an attempt at reconciliation or clarification.
