Trump advisers scramble to justify possible US military intervention in Iran | Trump administration

Donald Trump’s likely casus belli for an attack on Iran – which would be the largest US intervention since the Iraq war – is fraught with contradictions, and his top advisers have been left to cover for him as the White House makes the case for intervention. In his State of the Union address this week, Trump alleged that Iran posed a direct threat to the US and that the country was “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America”. But that claim has not been backed up with evidence by the White House or

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made history during the Oklahoma City Thunder‘s game against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night. While leading the Thunder to a 104-102 win was significant enough, Gilgeous-Alexander finally broke Wilt Chamberlain’s record for the longest streak of scoring 20 or more points in a game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s streak of 127 games ends Wilt Chamberlain‘s 63-year-old record.
