US withdrawal from Iraq was scheduled a few years in advance. But with Iran hitting US bases there, and Iran-allied Iraqi militias launching drones at Saudi Arabia, the withdrawal looks—to everyone in the region, and the wider world—like the US under fire ceding more of the Middle East to Iran.

Michael King’s dominant pitching backed by impressive hitting has the Padres out to a 7-0 lead after 7. King’s only hit was an infield single when Machado failed to cleanly catch the ball. Such an impressive outing by King. The awesome bullpen will be tasked to bring home the win.

After the first 3 games, the NFL has five 0-3 teams. Due to strength of schedule, the Dolphins would draft behind the Bucs, Texans, Titans and Chargers. Doesn't seem fair, eh? On paper, the Fins are the youngest, least experienced team. But the season is long, so the draft order can change often.
