Good morning. We're covering fears of escalation in the Middle East and tensions over race in the U.S. presidential election. Plus: A slower Olympic pool?
Iran and Hamas vow to strike backThe assassination yesterday of Ismail Haniyeh, a top Hamas leader, in Tehran has left the entire Middle East on edge, bringing vows of revenge from Iran's leaders and threatening to derail fragile negotiations about a Gaza cease-fire. Both Iran and Hamas accused Israel of killing Haniyeh, which Israel has neither confirmed nor denied. Now, the focus is on whether a response from Iran and its proxies could lead to a regional war. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Haniyeh's assassination would prompt a "harsh punishment," and officials said he had issued an order for Iran to strike Israel directly. In recent years, Israel has carried out several high-profile assassinations in Iran, rattling the country's leaders. In November, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel told reporters that he had ordered the Mossad, Israel's foreign intelligence service, to "act against the heads of Hamas, wherever they are." White House reaction: For President Biden, the back-to-back assassinations of a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon and the political leader of Hamas in Iran have once again scrambled the geopolitical equation and revised the risk assessment of a wider war in the Middle East. In Israel: Riots broke out after Israeli soldiers were detained on suspicion of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee, highlighting a growing divide among Israelis about the conduct of their soldiers. Hamas: Haniyeh was among the most senior members of the leadership of the militant group. Who are the organization's other prominent leaders? 🇺🇸 U.S. ELECTION 2024 The presidential election is less than 100 days away. This is what we're watching.
Harris and Trump spar over racial identityAt an event for a prominent Black sorority last night, Kamala Harris criticized comments Donald Trump had made about her racial identity hours earlier. His remarks showed "divisiveness and disrespect," she said, adding, "The American people deserve better." At a conference for Black journalists, Trump falsely suggested that Harris — who is of Jamaican and Indian heritage and attended a historically Black university — had previously identified as Indian, then "all of a sudden, she made a turn, and she became a Black person." Here's a fact-check. Trump also repeatedly chided a reporter as "rude" and "nasty" after she read a list of his past comments about Black people. Read more about his confrontational interview. Here's the latest on the election:

Accused Sept. 11 plotters to plead guiltyKhalid Shaikh Mohammed, the man accused of plotting the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and two of his accomplices have agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in exchange for life sentences rather than a death-penalty trial at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, prosecutors said yesterday. A senior Pentagon official approved the deal, Defense Department officials said. The men have been in U.S. custody since 2003, but the case had become mired in pretrial proceedings focusing on whether their torture in secret C.I.A. prisons had contaminated the evidence against them. The plea averted a trial of as long of 18 months, or alternatively, the possibility that the military judge would throw out confessions that were crucial to the government's case. The three men will still face a mini-trial of sorts, but probably not before next year. Details: "These three accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of the 2,976 people listed in the charge sheet," a letter from war court prosecutors to family members of victims of the attacks said. Related: Zacarias Moussaoui, the only prisoner convicted in the U.S. of having ties to the attacks, was denied his application to serve out his life sentence in his native France.
The Olympic Games
Gouda, the small city where the renowned Dutch cheese is made, is subsiding as sea levels rise, threatening centuries of tradition. "I wouldn't expect much cheese from Gouda anymore in 100 years," one expert said. "If the land turns into water and the cows disappear, the cheese will have to come from the eastern part of the country, and it won't be Gouda anymore." Lives lived: Sir Kenneth Grange, the British industrial designer whose cameras, food mixers, lamps and even taxis and trains were celebrated examples of modernist, post-World War II design, died on July 21 at 95.
Is the Olympic pool too shallow for speed?At this year's Olympic swimming events, favorites like Ariarne Titmus and Léon Marchand have already won gold — but no one has set a world record yet. The reason may be the depth of the pool at Paris La Défense Arena, where the races are taking place. Olympic swimming pools are usually three meters deep, like the "Water Cube" at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the site of 25 individual and team world records and 65 Olympic records. But the pool at La Défense is only 2.2 meters deep. "When you swim, you create a wave, and the wave goes behind and goes under," said one scientist. "And if the pool is too shallow, the wave reflects from the bottom and causes the water to be turbulent, and therefore it slows down the swimmers." For more: Katie Ledecky set an Olympic record in the 1,500-meter freestyle, and Léon Marchand set one in the 200-meter butterfly.
