* A ceasefire in which the firing hasn’t ceased: “Kuwait briefly shut the country’s main airport Wednesday after Iranian drones heavily damaged a terminal building and killed one person — the latest salvo in a series of back-and-forth attacks by Tehran and Washington that have tested a fragile ceasefire.”
* In related news: “The strikes came as semiofficial Iranian news agencies said the country had stopped communicating with mediators about extending a ceasefire in the war with the U.S. and Israel. A regional official said Tehran wanted the truce in Lebanon enforced before returning to talks.”
* Meanwhile, in Russia: “Ukrainian drones on Wednesday attacked St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, on the opening day of an annual economic conference that President Vladimir V. Putin has tried to cultivate into a showcase of a modern and prosperous country.”
* I wonder how many consumers are aware of these concerns: “Americans face a new round of punishing price increases for fuel and other products as oil and gas inventories plunge to historic lows around the world because of the war in Iran, energy executives and analysts warn.”
* Elections have consequences in Budapest: “Hungary has signaled it will drop its long-standing opposition to Ukraine’s bid for EU membership, allowing it and Moldova to begin formal negotiations to join the bloc in the coming days, four diplomats told Politico.”

The venerated show’s newly named executive producer, Nick Bilton, announced the network ‘parted ways’ with Pelley in a Tuesday note to staff obtained by MS NOW.”
* Trump commuted Santos’ sentence last fall, and I wonder if he would be willing to intervene on his behalf again: “Federal authorities are investigating whether former Representative George Santos engaged in insider trading by betting on a prediction market about whether he would show up at President Trump’s State of the Union address in late February.”
See you tomorrow.
