Is the United States at war in Iran? The simplest answer is yes, although you’d be forgiven for being confused these days.  On Monday, after days of bombing between the two countries, The New York Times reported that we have begun to “edge toward war again.” The Washington Post said we are “escalating the conflict” after “taking away the last major concession” that had “helped foster a ceasefire.” President Donald Trump said directly that we are “reinstating THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE,” but that the Strait of Hormuz, the key waterway that has become the center of the conflict, is “OPEN, and…

Derek Chisora has weighed in on the Joe Joyce retirement debate after seeing his countryman “quit” in round 11 of his clash with Artem Suslenkov. The two heavyweights squared off in Moscow, Russia, last weekend, featuring on the undercard of Murat Gassiev’s successful WBA title defence against Peter Kadiru. Put simply, it was seen as something of a crossroads fight, between a grizzled veteran and an unbeaten, 30-year-old fringe contender. But while Suslenkov had remained unproven at any significant level, Joyce was coming off back-to-back points defeats to Chisora and Filip Hrgovic. Even before those two setbacks, many were calling…

The space between stars just got a little sweeter. Astronomers have detected a type of sugar in space that’s also found in raspberries and self-tanners. The sugar, called erythrulose, lurks in what’s called the interstellar medium: thin clouds of gas and dust littered between stars. Sugar does more than sweeten tea and powder doughnuts. Different varieties fuel our cells and even make up DNA. Scientists are itching to know how sugars form because they’re a key ingredient for life as we know it. Using two dish-shaped radio telescopes in Spain, researchers collected data from a large gas cloud near the…

A sudden military escalation in Yemen has shattered a fragile, informal four-year truce, threatening to expand an ongoing geopolitical conflict into the Red Sea and sever one of the world’s most vital energy arteries.Following days of heightened rhetoric, Yemen’s internationally recognised government bombed the runway at Sanaa International Airport on Monday to prevent an Iranian aircraft from landing.

With the release of the fourth episode of House of the Dragon’s third season, we’ve officially crossed the halfway mark in this story. While the momentum may have slowed relative to the events in the preceding three episodes, a lot of pieces are moving into place for future episodes and character moments to happen. While the third season is definitely a vast improvement over the second season, one area where the show continues to struggle is with Alicent.
