Netanyahu chose this war. Israel should finish the job itself.
Eliminating Iran's nuclear program is a goal most of the world should share, and countries in the region and beyond are cheering Israel's campaign to destroy it — many, though not all, in secret. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to want more than cheering, at least from the United States. America has the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb, or MOP, that could burrow deep enough, and with enough firepower, to penetrate Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, as well as the B-2 stealth bombers to deliver it. President Donald Trump has sounded both warlike and diplomatic — issuing a statement of the diplomatic sort on Thursday — but he still appears to be weighing a direct U.S. strike in the coming weeks.

Judge Blocks a Trump Effort to Prevent International Students at Harvard
A federal judge in Boston sided with Harvard University on Friday and barred a Trump administration effort to rescind the school's right to host international students. The government's moves against Harvard have thrown the lives of thousands of visiting scholars into temporary disarray. But the ruling by Judge Allison D. Burroughs allows Harvard's longstanding participation in the Student and Visitor Exchange Program to continue, at least for now. The administration had sought to exclude the school from that program, which allows 7,000 Harvard students and recent graduates to study and work legally in the United States. In a three-page preliminary injunction, Judge Burroughs said the government was forbidden from 'implementing, instituting, maintaining, or giving any force or effect' to the Department of Homeland Security's push last month to force Harvard out of the international student program. The judge also ruled that the government had to tell American diplomatic posts and ports of entry to 'disregard' instructions to restrict Harvard's participation. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
