Bombs, Bad Bunny, & The Biathlon

Richard Haass

Welcome to Home & Away. Some weeks there is one big thing to write about, others several smaller things. This week falls into the second category. So be prepared for a mezze rather than a main course.

Bomb Bomb Iran?

Israel’s Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu visited the White House this week for his seventh meeting with President Trump since he took office just over a year ago. Netanyahu’s goal this time was reportedly to underscore Israeli concerns with Iran’s ballistic missile program—and to persuade President Trump to do something about it.

It is not clear Trump is on the same page. After the meeting, Trump posted, “There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated.”
