Iran's Revolutionary Guard launched drone and missile strikes on Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday, hours after U.S. military action in the region. The sixty-day ceasefire framework, signed just thirty days ago, is already coming apart.

Moving north. Finland's parliament voted one hundred twenty-five to sixty-one to lift its forty-year ban on nuclear weapons.
