This episode of Democracy Now! covers a tense global geopolitical landscape marked by escalating conflict between the United States and Iran, with President Trump threatening intensified military strikes and vowing to 'send Iran back to the age of stone.' Despite these threats, Iran continues retaliatory attacks across the Middle East, including missile strikes on Israel, the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, resulting in civilian casualties and widespread displacement. In Lebanon, the World Health Organization reports over 120 attacks on medical infrastructure, while the UN investigates the deaths of three Indonesian peacekeepers as potential war crimes. Domestically, the U.S. faces internal turmoil: the National Security Agency remains partially paralyzed due to a funding standoff, and the Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump’s controversial executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship—a move met with skepticism by justices. Meanwhile, a federal judge reinstates DACA for a beneficiary, ruling his deportation illegal. In a separate tragedy, a 56-year-old Rohingya refugee died in Buffalo after being abandoned by border agents in freezing conditions, with the medical examiner classifying his death as a homicide due to negligence. The episode closes on a note of scientific triumph with NASA’s Artemis II mission launching, carrying the first woman and first person of color on a lunar flyby.
