## Resource

Iran’s latest moves, Mexico’s reaction to the El Mayo arrest, and the Tyler Robinson case all raise the same question: whether America still has the will to confront threats directly.  Today we look at the war update in Iran, the power of Mexican cartels, fentanyl, border security, and the political fallout when the U.S. takes action against cartel leaders. At home, the Tyler Robinson case adds another test of accountability, justice, and political violence. Together, these stories show a country facing pressure from foreign enemies, criminal networks, and domestic instability at the same time.
