Iran calls latest U.S. proposal to end war 'insufficient' as Netanyahu's corruption trial resumes
I keep thinking about the data centers and cables. Most war talk still leans on tanks and missiles, but threatening the physical internet is a different kind of escalation. It's a reminder that our digital lives sit on actual fiber optic lines running along the ocean floor, and someone with a grudge and a submarine could theoretically sever a lot of reality at once. That's a wild thought to hold while reading about a peace proposal that apparently isn't good enough.
The Netanyahu trial adds a parallel drama. Watching a former attorney general testify against a sitting prime minister is the kind of political theater that usually only happens in fiction. With elections weeks away, the timing makes everything feel more charged. I don't know how the trial will land with voters, but I'd want to know whether the testimony shifts public attention away from the war or gets tangled up in it. Both stories are about who gets to define what's true, and neither has a clean ending in sight.
