And the sultanate's news agency reported Iranian drones had struck some sites in Oman. Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Bagr Galiboff wrote on X the era of one sided deals is over.

The arc of that relationship feels very much of this political era. You know, earlier in his career, Graham was known for his bipartisan bent, notably on issues like immigration reform. And then as he made his own bid for the Republican nomination for president in 2016, you know, he called Trump a bigot, said he would destroy the gop. But over the last decade, Graham's posture toward Trump changed dramatically. He became a close confidant to the president, to the point that when Graham beat back a primary challenge earlier this year with help from Trump's endorsement, he said, Mr. President, you are not far behind God.

A DEA agent with the task force fatally shot a 47 year old man last week, just days after a Tennessee guardsman fatally shot a 20 year old. These shootings, along with three others, are still under investigation by the state. Memphis District Attorney Stephen Mulroy points to the way officers are trained for the task force. In trainings, he observed, Mulroy says instructors mocked the concept of de escalation and referenced the prosecution of the officers accused of killing George Floyd and Eric Gardner as witch hunts. Other Tennessee das have rejected Mulroy's statement, saying it undermines prosecutors and law enforcement to promote a political ideology.
