Hello and welcome to today’s episode. Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iran have raised a question: Is the goal really just to halt a nuclear threat, or to topple Tehran’s government? Prime Minister Netanyahu insisted he had “no choice” but to strike, yet the operation—codenamed “Rising Lion”—seems broader. While one enrichment site was hit hard, others were scarcely touched. At the same time, Israel has targeted Revolutionary Guard leaders and even considered plans against Supreme Leader

The Trump Organization recently announced a $499, “built in the United States” smartphone and insisted “manufacturing for the new phone will be in Alabama, California and Florida.” But experts say it’s virtually impossible to build a midrange device with a 6.8-inch OLED display and 120Hz refresh rate at that price point without a global supply chain. Instead, The Verge suspects the T1 is a
