Day 17. Israel confirmed ground troops are in Lebanon this morning — the 91st Division, in Khiam. Axios says the plan is the largest invasion since 2006. A civilian was killed by a missile in Abu Dhabi. Dubai's airport was shut down before dawn. The IDF says three more weeks minimum. JPMorgan says that means $120 oil — and analysts say prices won't drop fast even after the war ends. Iran's foreign minister: "We never asked for a ceasefire." And the FCC threatened broadcast licenses over war coverage.

Your Substack blog is excellent. My wife and I just began following you. It is excellently sourced. I’d like to know your background. Thank you for your work.
Do we know for a fact that it was an Iranian shot that killed the civilian? That sounds off to me. Why would Iran track and follow a single Palestinian. But we do know someone else who loves doing that. Something’s up with this.
Interesting analysis and your diligence in keeping to information with evidence is to be applauded.
I can't help wondering though, if you provided a view of the "potential result" of some of the reports, would be additional comment under the "What American readers need to know". I wojld suggest mostly along the lines of many countries around the world will blame USA and Israhell for their pain. And they will not forgive.
Maybe you should prepare your American readers for the possible/probable implications after hostilities end.....
