A growing split inside MAGA is putting pressure on Donald Trump’s Iran strategy, as hawkish voices turn against him over reports that he may avoid escalating the conflict. Meanwhile, Ron Dermer says an Iran deal is unlikely and claims Tehran’s military threat has been weakened, while Iran’s military warns of a “harsh response” if Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue.

New polling also shows Americans’ confidence in the economy and democracy is falling, while Markwayne Mullin faces criticism over efforts to remove FDA warnings about kratom risks.
