For the Israelis, who seem to have established near total control of Iran's airspace. Iran is still capable of popping out ballistic missiles and launching them, but the launchers are being steadily eroded away. Israel now has the freedom to go after, shall we say, less military and more political targets. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair VIP, reads NYT, WSJ: What In the World Happened to Iran? UPDATE: Trump Warns Tehran to Evacuate. Matt Margolis at PJM, Trump Departs G7 Early. Is Something Big About to Go Down? Althouse doesn't approve of the G7's grammar, and blames Trump, "We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza." "That's the official statement, quoted in "Trump leaves G-7 meeting early to deal with Mideast; signs group statement/Trump signed the G-7’s statement backing Israel and criticizing Iran after discussions with other leaders and changes to the initial draft, a U.S. official said" (WaPo). "This sentence feels as though it began with many different words that have been swapped out for awkward substitutions. We're told Trump wouldn't sign the original draft. I'll bet that was better written, but the edited version we see won Trump's signature. Perhaps he wanted it to say nothing specifically discernible (other than "including a ceasefire in Gaza"). And perhaps he wanted to endorse military victory for Israel — AKA "the resolution of the Iranian crisis" — and didn't want or need to say it outright. He did get the others to sign onto that."

Capt. Ed, YGBFKM: Iran Wants a Do-Over ... With Nukes; UPDATE: Iran FM: Help Us, Obi-Wan Trumpnobi; Netanyahu: Nope. "The Wall Street Journal reported just a few minutes ago that the regime wants to call a time out and return to the table, while offering nothing new at all:" Ace, Iran Is Now Begging the US to Step In and Force a Ceasefire on Israel "Killers, but of the absolute coward type.

Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee "Some confusion--there were NO INJURIES to US Personnel at US Embassy Branch--the minor damage to property were from the shock waves (i.e. "concussions") from the nearby blast. Not human concussions. Repeat--NO INJURIES thank God!" Quote Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee "Our @usembassyjlm US Embassy in Israel & Consulate will officially remain closed today as shelter in place still in effect. Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch in @TelAviv but no injuries to US personnel." Dave Bernstein at Insty, I DON’T THINK THE AYATOLLAH IS TRYING TO BRING THE US INTO THE WAR: "But some of his subordinates seem to have other ideas. Iran-backed militias in Iraq have tried to attack US bases with drones. And yesterday the US embassy annex in Tel Aviv, which is really our primary building in Israel, was damaged by an Iranian rocket. I am very familiar with the geography there, my wife once did a “detail” for the US government in that building. On one side, you have beach and ocean. On the other, you have mostly low-rise buildings and parking lots. To the north and south, you have a bunch of scattered hotels, with space between them. In short, if you are firing rockets accurate within X meters, but not fully accurate, this is not an area you’d be targeting because you’d be unlikely to hit anything significant, and your rocket might well just fall into the ocean. Which suggests that someone was, in fact, targeting the embassy."

WJ, Murder Suspect in Utah 'No Kings' Shooting Was Trump-Hating, Antifa-Loving Leftist. PM reports Salt Lake City ‘No Kings’ protest murder suspect pushed Antifa views, "Arturo Gamboa, the man charged with murder after a deadly shooting at Salt Lake City’s “No Kings” protest, appears to be a self-described anti-government radical who publicly supported Antifa." "While Gamboa did not fire the shot that took the life of 39-year-old Arthur Ah Loo, police say his armed and threatening behavior sparked the confrontation, says the Salt Lake Tribune." Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck, "Here’s a sampling of No Kings protesters. The big divide is that these elderly people still get their news from legacy media and they believe it. They do limited to no questioning of what they’re told to believe. That won’t change but their influence is dying while ours grows." John Hinderacker at Power Line, No Kings at the Old Folks’ Home.

"Voters do not declare political affiliation when they register in Minnesota, and a state report connected to the work force board listed Mr. Boelter’s affiliation as 'none or other' in 2016. A similar report in 2020 listed him as having 'no party preference.' But David Carlson, a roommate and close friend of Mr. Boelter’s, said Mr. Boelter voted for Donald J.
