And Iran miss peace talks deadline. And, Alaska, Florida and Wyoming primaries

The U.S. and Iran have missed a deadline to begin peace talks this week, after a conflict that has lasted nearly six months and strained U.S. military resources, including warships and interceptor missiles. That shortfall is already affecting U.S. capabilities in other regions, especially Asia. President Trump ordered the Pentagon to cut joint exercises with South Korea, citing Seoul’s lack of support in the Iran war; the annual drills have been running since at least 1976, largely to counter North Korea. In Gaza, Jared Kushner met Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and said he addressed disagreements after rare talks with Hamas leaders in Egypt.
