Trump is considering the biggest adversaries (China and Russia) to be part of G8 or even G9, yet didn’t even mention India. It’s good that India kept its distance from the F-35 deal, and also that Prime Minister Modi canceled this rescheduled meeting which Trump offered — that was a smart move. The G7 countries have become a joke now — most of the top GDP countries aren’t even part of it anymore. Trump is not a stable leader; if he was the president of a powerless country, he would’ve been thrown out long ago.

Iran launched m*ssile att*cks Monday on U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites and escalating tensions in the volatile region.

Qatar condemned the attack on Al Udeid Air Base attack, but said it successfully intercepted the missiles and no casualties were reported. It said its airspace was now safe.

Iran said the attack in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on its nuclear sites this weekend, signaling its likely desire to
de-escalate.

Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas.

Iran announced the attack on state television as martial music played. A caption on screen called it "a mighty and successful response" to "America's aggression."

The Ain al-Assad base housing U.S. troops in western Iraq was also targeted, an Iraqi security official who was not authorized to comment publicly told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
