A week ago, we learned that the Los Angeles Rams wanted to remedy the play they still hold responsible for ruining their season when they played the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. I said then there were two likely paths the Rams would take to propose a change. It turns out there weren’t two options to choose from, there were three and a half, and Sean McVay proposed all of them. “If it doesn’t go through, I’m not losing any sleep over it,” McVay told reporters on Tuesday.

But Beijing has done little more than look on as its geopolitical rival shakes up the rules of engagement. In addition to purchasing the bulk of Iran’s oil exports, Beijing has denounced what it calls “unilateral” US sanctions imposed on Iran, and supported Tehran’s insistence that its nuclear program is peaceful. Still, concern has been growing in Washington about the firming ties between China, Iran, Russia and North Korea. Leaders from all four countries gathered in Beijing last September for a startling show of unity at a major military parade. Some Chinese analysts argue that not providing security guarantees to partners represents a calculated approach from Beijing that differentiates it from the US.

Biden administration officials often cited concern over depleting US stockpiles as a reason for their initial hesitancy in providing Ukraine with certain long-range air defense and strike munitions. “So at some point … this becomes a math problem and how can we resupply air defense munitions.

The US and its allies could also save some of their more high-end air defense munitions by taking down Iranian drones with less expensive alternatives, Gunzinger said.
Iran can continue firing missiles at its present pace for “several more days” before its capacity to hit targets in the Middle East diminishes, Western officials said. U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian launch sites and missile depots have already caused a drop in the rate of Iranian fire, officials said. “If the current rates continue, we assess that Iran has several more days of capability,” one official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the subject. The official stressed that Iran could decide to curtail the pace of strikes to extend its campaign, which has been aimed at spreading the cost of the conflict to Middle East neighbors and U.S. allies. The combined use of high-arcing missiles and low-flying drones has posed a test to air defense systems across the Middle East, officials said, prompting the British government, along with others, to consult experts from the war in Ukraine.
The Texas U.S. Senate Democratic primary election remains in limbo amid legal challenges related to Dallas County, where voters were turned away from polling sites, creating confusion. “Dallas County should have the second-largest voter participation of any county in this state. Voters were rerouted to their assigned polling precincts due to a switch prompted by the county Republican Party. As a result of the confusion, a judge ordered that polling times in Dallas County be extended to 9 p.m. CT. Speaking on the drama in Dallas County, Crockett said, “Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do, and so they specifically targeted Dallas County, and I think we all know why.”

The primary target was Iran’s now deceased supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who Israeli officials believe felt less vulnerable during daylight hours. Defence Minister Israel Katz previously said that Israel did not have the opportunity to target the supreme leader in June, as he likely took shelter in underground bunkers and went silent. Although he didn’t provide any more specifics, it’s likely he was referring to Israel’s salvo that killed Khamenei and many of Iran’s top leaders, which reportedly also drew on American intelligence to pinpoint the location of Iran’s supreme leader in his compound. That confirmation came early Sunday morning, when Iran’s state broadcaster announced: “The Supreme Leader of Iran has Reached Martyrdom.”
According to the agency, around 13 million people are enrolled in Global Entry, which comes with TSA PreCheck. People routinely lose Global Entry due to recent criminal charges or customs violations.
