A former Pentagon adviser said Iran is entering negotiations with higher leverage than before the war began. The U.S. spent $12 billion, struck 9,000 targets, and deployed the 82nd Airborne.

Apple did not deliver innovation. It delivered a thinner phone with weaker specs, a higher price, and hidden compromises disguised as features. The iPhone 17 Air costs $999, has a single rear camera, and offers less battery life than the cheaper iPhone 17. Apple described it as “a paradox you have to hold to believe” …
