Then, NBC News foreign correspondent Matt Bradley breaks down what we know about the just-announced 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon — and shares what a senior Hezbollah official told him about its willingness to abide by the deal.

Plus, we talk to NBC News Senior Legal Correspondent Laura Jarrett about her exclusive sit-down interview with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and why he thinks the American public should be “happy” about President Donald Trump’s involvement in the Department of Justice.

"DEADline for Iran" is a pretty freudian choice of words.
"The jury decided on $2.1 million in punitive damages for Meta and $900,000 for YouTube, totaling $3 million in total." What a joke. Zucker-borg prob has that in loose change in his couch.
Stupid Trump. Gas prices aren't going down, but announcing that war is almost over logically affects the market to appear better, but they'll be let down as prices rise. Don't we basically own Venezuela now? What happened to all that nasty crude from the #1 country for oil whose leader we kidnapped? Too bad 47 sold the oil into his PERSONAL, unregulated Qatar account - could've bought US citizens lower gas prices much longer. He should've filled our reserves b4 starting a global war, the moron.
