It is just after midnight in New York and five a.m. in Dublin. The Iran story broke nearly three hours ago but not a word yet on the website of Ireland’s paper of record. This used to be a newspaper.

Except in the Dustin Hoffman movie, the war was an invented Hollywood creation, whereas Trump’s effort to move the focus away from his impending and evidently worsening impeachment crisis by assassinating the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards could start a real war.
