Summary
Hawk runs through a full Tuesday of news. The headline is a report that Russia has been helping Iran target American military facilities and personnel, relevant because four US service members were killed a little over a week ago. Asked about it, Donald Trump said he does not think it is happening and that he will ask Vladimir Putin directly, prompting former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul to weigh in on a pattern Hawk traces back to Helsinki in 2018.
