They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

The only present U.S. representative walked out of Iranian President Pezeshkian’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly Wednesday. The quiet protest came immediately after Pezeshkian mentioned two airstrikes by American forces in February that killed 178 civilians, most of them children.
