Consider This from NPR

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have stood shoulder to shoulder in their war on Iran — both men have said they want to end Iran’s nuclear ambitions, destroy its ballistic missiles and end Tehran’s support for proxy militias across the region. But are they still on the same page on how to end it?

Trump and Netanyahu went to war together. Are they still on the same page?

After a dramatic rescue of a U.S. airman in Iran, President Trump posted a profanity-laden threat to Iran that if it didn't open the Strait of Hormuz it would be "living in Hell." Representative Madeline Dean, Democrat from Pennsylvania told NPR that Trump's handling of the war in Iran - and the recent budget he proposed to fund it - are troubling and un-American.

Reporting on China's move to provide global aid as U.S. pulls out

Some of the most memorable speeches in American history have been delivered in wartime, with presidents seeking to unify the country, explain their strategy and, often, make a moral case for war. But President Trump has always spoken differently than his predecessors, so what does that mean when there’s a war on?

How Trump's war rhetoric differs from past presidents'

Attacking civilian infrastructure is a war crime under international law. So when President Trump threatened to attack power plants and potentially all desalination plants in Iran earlier this week, it raised concerns among some legal experts. Kuwaiti officials also accused Iran of destroying one of its desalination plants earlier this week. 

If a war crime were to be committed during the conflict with Iran, what would accountability look like? Would there be any at all?

American farmers were already struggling, then came the Iran war

Israel’s invasion in Lebanon is rapidly widening and could outlast the war in Iran.

People in southern Lebanon are living through a war within a war.

The war is of course the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran.

The war within Lebanon started with a series of strikes from the militant group Hezbollah.

They launched rockets and drones from Lebanon into Israel.

Israel responded with strikes in Lebanon.

And with that, a conflict that has flared on and off for decades reignited.

Why some Iranian Americans back the war on their country of origin

Americans are keeping their driver’s licenses longer than
ever and driving well into their old age. But how long is too long? And who
decides when to take away the keys?

NPR’s transportation correspondent, Joel Rose, has been
looking into those questions and found that there is no single national standard
when it comes to older adults and driving. And the laws vary greatly from state
to state. 

Often, the decision on whether it is time to take away the
keys is left to family members. And that can be difficult when the driver
resists.

Who decides when you're too old to drive?

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced yesterday that he will resign before President-elect Trump takes office. This comes after Trump announced he would appoint loyalist Kash Patel to lead the Bureau.

President-elect Trump's pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, held several national security positions in the first Trump administration. Since then, he's found money and attention as a pro-Trump influencer promoting conspiracy theories. 

What can that tell us about his plans for the FBI?
