Slate: Iran cannot compete militarily with Israel: what options does it have if the ceasefire breaks down?
The strength of Tehran-backed armed groups is dwindling. Hezbollah has retreated after Israeli strikes, and the deaths of figures like Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh are further weakening the network.

The Houthis , meanwhile, are surrounded, and Iraqi militias could act without coordination with Iran.

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
