          I’d initially planned to write this newsletter about an Israeli strike on an important Iranian gas field last week and what it revealed about the divergent war aims of Israel and the United States. Israel has been targeting Iranian energy facilities, often to the dismay of the U.S.

         <span>
          But then, this weekend, President Trump issued his own threats against Iranian energy facilities — specifically, he threatened to “obliterate” the country’s energy plants — which certainly complicated the picture. So today, I’m trying to make sense of that flip-flop and what it means for the U.S. approach to fighting the war.

          First, Trump insisted he “

         </a>

          . Then he backtracked and said he’d warned Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, against the move: “I told him

         <a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">

          But by Saturday, Trump himself was threatening to bomb Iran’s power plants. In a social media post that evening, Trump threatened to “obliterate” the plants — on which millions of Iranians depend — if Iran did not fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Iran responded with defiance, saying it would retaliate with its own strikes on energy infrastructure.

          But if the attack on the gas field, known as South Pars, pointed to the daylight between Israel and America, with his announcement this weekend Trump seemed to be threatening to do the very thing he’d warned Israel against.

          Both Trump and Netanyahu appeared to be pushing for regime change, encouraging Iranians to rise up against their own government. Both vowed to destroy what’s left of Iran’s nuclear program and the long-range missiles capable of hitting Israel.

          Netanyahu, by contrast, has remained unwavering: He sees the Islamic republic as a threat to Israel’s existence. He’s still hoping the war leads to regime change. But if it doesn’t, he wants it to leave Iran as battered as possible.

          Analysts say the Israeli attacks on energy facilities, and the targeted killings thinning out the ranks of the Iranian government, seem to be aimed at weakening the regime so thoroughly that it leads to what some are calling “state collapse.”

          But targeted killings can work against the goal of regime-change lite, by hardening the resolve of those who are left.

          Israel has higher stakes and narrower concerns. Its position is that an Iran run by the current theocracy, which has vowed to destroy the state of Israel, is intolerable, and that almost any change would be preferable.

          Trump’s concerns are more global. He sees Iran as a bad actor, but the war is hurting strategic allies in the Gulf and helping adversaries like Russia. And it’s unpopular at home: The price of gas is rising, and this is an election year.

          Over the last three weeks, Iran has exploited its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz so effectively that it now looks like a fundamental threat not just to Israel, but to the global economy — not to mention Trump’s midterm elections prospects.

          We should be cautious about reading too much into the words of a president who has offered notably muddled messages around the war. Still, Trump’s latest threat might be a sign that if Iran can’t be persuaded to open the strait, he could begin to view the war from something more akin to the Israeli perspective: That there is no negotiating with Iran’s current government, only battering it until it changes.

          The celebration was especially poignant when Nazar Daletskyi, a Ukrainian soldier, was freed in a prisoner exchange after nearly four years in Russian captivity. A DNA mistake had led his relatives to bury remains that they thought were his.

          BTS is back. And Seoul is into it.

          The excitement over the return of BTS — the seven-member boy band that made K-pop a global phenomenon, then spent nearly four years on hiatus — was palpable in Seoul in the days leading up to its reunion concert on Saturday.

          Restaurants were decked out in purple, the color of Army, as its enormous fan base is known. BTS songs were even more ubiquitous than usual: They were playing at my gym, hair salon and favorite neighborhood cafe.

          On the day of the concert, it felt as if the entire city was holding its breath. The outdoor show took place in Gwanghwamun Square, in the heart of Seoul. By morning, crowd control and security patrols were already out directing early arrivals. Streets and subway stations nearby were closed. The government and even BTS members themselves emphasized repeatedly that safety should be the first priority. South Korea has a recent memory of

         <span>
          In the end, it all went smoothly. During the concert, the audience, which numbered in the tens of thousands, was calm and respectful. It was a tribute, perhaps, to BTS’s standing in the world of K-pop and the sense that the reunion was a momentous occasion. The biggest question looming over the fans — whether the group’s star power was still indisputable — had been decisively answered, and Seoul itself seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief.
