Israel Says It Has Assassinated Iran's Security Chief, Ali Larijani, Known for Negotiating with the West
How long will the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran last? Regime change in Iran will not be as "easy and quick" as U.S. warmongers may have initially believed, says Iranian American political analyst Trita Parsi. Israel claims that it has successfully assassinated Iran's powerful security chief Ali Larijani, who Parsi says could have played a role in future ceasefire negotiations. "The Israelis have fought so hard to get the United States to go into a full-scale war with Iran for more than 20 years," says Parsi. "It is in their interest to prolong this war as long as they can, and kill off any potential off-ramps that Trump may be looking for."

Anderson Cooper Literally Calls Bulls*** on Surrogate's Trump Defense
CNNCNN anchor Anderson Cooper was flabbergasted Wednesday by a surrogate's defense of Donald Trump, calling his explanation for the former president's bombastic statements literal "bulls---."

On AC360, former California Lieutenant Gov. Abel Maldonado, a Republican, said that Trump's recent comments calling for the military to "handle" Democrats were simply his way of expressing his inner New Yorker. "He's a fighter," Maldonado added.

The conversation began when Cooper brought up Trump's former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, who, alongside other military leaders, have begun to warn of the dangers of re-electing the former president. Milley has called Trump a "fascist to his core."
