1. “WTF” — The first crack in the US-Israel alliance.
2. The island that could break the global economy
3. Trump said “we’ve wiped every single force out.” Here’s what happened next.
Five stories the American press is underplaying tonight:
Today’s deep dive: what China is actually doing in this war — and what it isn’t. The answer is more complicated than either “Iran’s ally” or “sitting it out,” and the part everyone is missing involves rare earth metals and the US military’s ability to build weapons for the next decade.
And more…
Morning edition is up. I do this so my American friends can see what the US news isn’t showing them.
And food prices in the fall are going be high because of everything happening today.
It's all inside tonight's edition of RofWR.
Anyway, like, subscribe, you know the drill.
Boop. And good night from Paris.
Evening edition is up. This time there are a couple things that really, really stand out to me. First, Iran's war aim is not to win - they know they can't. But if they drag it out so long and make it painful af as their own deterrent for future bombings.
Seven stories the US morning shows won’t lead with. Special forces. Black rain. A nuclear pact. And an oil countdown with a $150 price tag at the end.
Iran’s president apologized to Gulf neighbors this morning.
By noon, Iran’s own military had struck the UAE anyway.
Day 8 Evening Edition of THE REST OF THE WORLD REPORT: what actually happened today. 🧵
I started this for my friends and fam in the US. Every story in THE REST OF THE WORLD REPORT ends with two things: what the international press is saying, and what American readers specifically need to know. Because those aren’t always the same thing. Subscribe on Substack.

Just some of what’s in it:
→ Tehran’s second airport hit overnight
→ UK reversed course — B-1 bombers now at RAF Fairford
→ US approved $151M arms sale to Israel. Mid-war.

→ Iran: “We will never capitulate”
Free as always at:

I started doing a thing for my friends in the US who are interested in what the news outside the country are saying about the war. I really will make an effort to start sharing it here, too. It’ll always be free so go ahead and check it out if you’re in the US and what a different news perspective.
Well that certainly makes it all better
ICE is a bigger terrorist threat to Americans than Iran has ever been.
They won’t even if the entire file gets released unredacted. But the truth will still be true; the president of the United States is a kniwn child rapist and still got elected.
I don’t need the Epstein files. I believe the women. Dude is a child rapist. Everyone knows this. Everyone who voted for him knew this when they voted for him by this third election. They didn’t care.
My beautiful little doggo, Dexter. His red-orange fur, perky ears, and fluffy tail. His little face is laying over his tiny paws as he looks away from the camera.
My beautiful little doggo, Dexter. His red-orange fur, perky ears, and fluffy tail. His little face is laying on a couch cushion as he looks straight at the camera.
France has made it illegal to abandon dogs so, guess I’m stuck with this little guy.
Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad
Surly little shit.
It ain’t like anybody’s been stopping him
I am amused. #FDT
