Consider This from NPR

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a close ally of both President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin, conceded defeat in an historic election in Hungary. The results of the vote will have far reaching consequences, potentially reshaping the central European country's relationship with the EU and laying bare the weaknesses of Orban's style of far-right, nationalist populism.

Hungary's Viktor Orban concedes defeat in election with global consequences

It took more than 50 years for humans to return to the moon. Will it take another 50 years before NASA can get back?

Fifty-four years. 

That is how long it has been since human last traveled beyond Earth’s orbit — since the crew of Apollo 17 left the moon behind in December 1972.

This week, NASA’s Artemis II mission changed that. 

Why did it take so long? And given everything we know about the agency’s plans, budget battles and the growing shadow of China’s lunar ambitions — is the road ahead actually realistic?

President Trump is threatening to destroy the nation of Iran if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not reached by 8 p.m. ET Tuesday. 

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” the president wrote on his social media platform.

“I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”

The U.S. and Iran are holding indirect talks on ways to pause, or end, the war. But there’s no real sign of progress.

As Trump’s latest deadline for a deal with Iran ticks closer, where do things stand now?

Trump’s Iran deadline ticks closer. Where do things stand now?

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.

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?
