reut.rs/3xJYOKR
Quick Glance: Western States Utilize Turkey as Intermediary for De-escalation Messages to Iran: Diplomat
- Recently, Western states have attempted to communicate messages to Iran via Turkey to reaffirm calls for de-escalation, as reported by a Western diplomat on Friday.
- These messages were transmitted before the reported Israeli attacks on Iran early Friday, resulting in Tehran stating it had no intentions for additional retaliation.
- Following Iran's retaliatory strike on Israel over the weekend, Turkey's foreign ministry acknowledged engagements with Iran and the United States, emphasizing the need for restraint and cautioning against a potential regional conflict with further escalating tensions.
- Acting US Under Secretary of State John Bass visited Ankara earlier this week and held discussions with Turkey's top diplomat Hakan Fidan. A US official mentioned: 'They deliberated on the crucial importance of averting additional escalations or a broader conflict in the region.'

Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia
- President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.
- Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
