'Don't be a jerk', nuclear on the moon + is Iran winning the war?

The war in the Middle East, sparked by a U.S.-Israel strike that killed Iran's former Supreme Leader and dozens of children, is on a precarious edge. President Donald Trump claims the conflict could end in weeks, threatening to obliterate Iran's energy and water infrastructure—actions experts call potentially war crimes. Yet, as Jennifer Kavanagh, a U.S. defense analyst, explains, Iran has not collapsed; it remains resilient through asymmetric warfare, maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz and inflicting high costs on the U.S. and its allies. Despite tactical U.S. successes, the war has yielded no strategic gains, and Trump’s aggressive posturing appears more about domestic optics than credible military escalation. Meanwhile, Australia and other allies are frustrated by being dragged into a war they didn’t start, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese warning of economic fallout. On a lighter but equally urgent note, Australia is set to enforce 'Don't Be a Jerk' laws—new consumer protections that will ban deceptive subscription traps, hidden fees, and dark patterns, with fines of up to $100 million for violators. These reforms aim to end the nightmare of canceling subscriptions, especially for gyms and digital services. Finally, NASA’s Artemis II mission—launched on April Fool’s Day—marks humanity’s first crewed return to the moon in over 50 years.
