Ceasefire .

President Donald Trump said on social media Monday that a ceasefire deal has been reached between Israel and Iran, just after Iran launched a missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar.

Neither Israel or Iran have confirmed if they have agreed to the ceasefire deal.
The president’s post was written hours after Iran launched the missiles, that targeted the Al Udeid Air Base, in retaliation for the American bombing of Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend. 

The president said in the post that the ceasefire would take place just after midnight U.S. eastern time Tuesday, followed by the official end of the war, 12 hours later.

The war began on June 13 when Israel launched a series of attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities.

Notice..

 President Trump said Monday the Iranian government offered "early notice" about a series of missile strikes that targeted the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, downplaying Iran's response to the U.S. bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend as "very weak."

"I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured," Mr. Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Just a thought.

Poll..

A CNN polling has indicated that Republicans now hold a clear advantage with voters on economic issues. Economic concerns, especially about inflation and recession, have increasingly shaped public opinion and party preferences. Voters now see only 16% of Democrats as strong leaders.  

Reuters/Ipsos polls show the Republican lead is growing. Republicans are expected to hold an advantage as the party is viewed as better on economic matters.

CNN polling analyst Harry Enten said, “How is it possible after all the recession fears? After the stock market’s been doing all of this, after all the tariffs that Americans are against and Republicans still hold an eight-point lead on the economy? Are you kidding me!?”

Reaching .

 In reaching Iran, Israeli aircraft would likely fly over the airspace of several countries situated between Israel and Iran, including Syria and Iraq.

Airspace Transit: Israeli aircraft would have to fly through the airspace of countries located between Israel and Iran, with Syria and Iraq being the most probable routes.

Air Superiority: Israel's success in reaching Iran suggests a significant degree of air superiority over the region.

Air Defense Suppression: Israel has conducted strikes aimed at degrading Iranian air defense systems, including S-300 batteries, likely facilitating access to Iranian airspace.

Refueling Missions: The considerable distance between Israel and Iran (around 1,400 miles) necessitates mid-air refueling for long-range operations, which are supported by squadrons like the "Desert Giants".

International Reactions: The ongoing conflict has led to disruptions in airspace usage, with airlines diverting flights and some countries implementing restrictions.

All the Way..

On the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz endorsed Israel's attack on Iran in an interview with public broadcaster ZDF. He said, “This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us. I can only say that I have the utmost respect for the Israeli army and the Israeli leadership for having had the courage to do this.”
In another interview with the ARD public broadcaster, Merz advocated violent regime change in Tehran. “It would be good if this regime came to an end,” he said. If the Iranian regime is not prepared to enter into talks,  
This regime is very weakened and will probably not return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain. We will have to wait and see,” he says.  

He adds that the Europeans’ offer of diplomatic assistance, should talks resume, still stands as it did before the attacks.  

“If a new situation were to arise, Germany, France and the United Kingdom would again be prepared to provide diplomatic assistance, as they were until last Thursday,” he says.

New..

A team of chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has invented a new process to separate crude oil components, potentially bringing forward a replacement that can cut its harmful carbon pollution by 90%.

The original technique, uses heat to separate crude oil into gasoline, diesel, and heating oil.

Instead of boiling mixtures to purify them, why not separate components based on shape and size?" said Zachary P. Smith, associate professor of chemical engineering at MIT and senior author of the study, per Interesting Engineering.

The team invented a polymer membrane that divides crude oil into its various uses like a sieve.

The new process follows a similar strategy used by the water industry for desalination, which uses reverse osmosis membranes and has been around since the 1970s.
