Such shameless spreading of fake information to bolster a political position is nefarious and extremely dangerous. The outright lies are one thing. But we must also beware — especially in the media — the subtler distortions of truth that get repeated so often that they become fact. Right now, it’s the still unproven claims that Iran intended to attack one or more of our embassies.—Jason Rezaian

I’m far from a Trump supporter. But impossible not to call Iran outcome a win for US president and a big opportunity going forward.—Ian Bremmer President of Eurasia Group

The assassination of Qasem Suleimani does nothing to solve the problem created by Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, when he decided to liquidate the US presence in Iraq in excessive haste, squandering all that had been achieved in the “surge” that ended the last Iraqi civil war. The upside of killing Soleimani is that the Iran regime’s bluff has been called and its vulnerability exposed for everyone in the region to see.—Niall Ferguson

Don’t worry, Mr. President. I’ll see you at your trial.—Senator Kamala Harris Responding to Trump

The US sanctions are very powerful and have partially succeeded in their announced goal: Devastating the economy so badly so that the people will rise up. And the reaction; the protests primarily seem to be over the economy. Also it’s a very harsh, brutal government; it’s a rotten government, there’s no doubt about it. So when there is economic hardship it goes much broader.—Noam Chomsky
