Iran Shreds Its Own Ceasefire as US Strikes Back — Trump Threatens Annihilation

Today's lead: Iran is shredding its own ceasefire — US forces struck 10 Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz after Tehran attacked a commercial tanker, Iran then hit US assets in Kuwait and Bahrain, and Trump warned the Islamic Republic could face annihilation. The Lebanon deal signed Friday is already under pressure from its first test.

Also tracking: Zohran Mamdani's wave extends to the New York State Legislature — a slate of "mini-Mamdanis" won primaries Tuesday, including a candidate backing legislation to fine synagogues $1 million for donating to Israeli charities. The Israel divide in the Democratic Party is now structural, not episodic.

In the wire: A Jewish California Democrat was chased from the SF Trans March for not being anti-Israel enough, a new Quinnipiac poll shows 48% of Americans say the US is "too supportive" of Israel — an all-time high — and an IDF officer was killed in the Lebanon security zone, the first Israeli loss since the framework was signed.
