He vowed to respond to the attack, which he blamed on militant groups backed by Iran, but retaliation could risk a wider war. Air defenses failed to stop the attack at least in part because the hostile drone [approached at the same time an American drone was returning to the base](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnmxXPP4QHAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDEvMjkvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9qb3JkYW4tZHJvbmUtc3RyaWtlLXVzLXNvbGRpZXJzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjQwMTMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExMzgzMiZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTY3NzYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmWxz5C4ZS45NKtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), U.S. officials said. That caused confusion over whether the hostile drone was friendly and delayed the activation of air defenses. Biden has carefully calibrated his responses to the more than 150 attacks by Iranian-backed militias on U.S. forces in the region since Oct. 7. But this is the first attack in which American troops have died, and U.S. officials say a different level of response is warranted. My colleague David Sanger writes that Biden’s options [range from unsatisfying to risky](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnmxXPP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMS8yOS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy91cy1iaWRlbi1pcmFuLWRyb25lLXJlc3BvbnNlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjQwMTMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExMzgzMiZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTY3NzYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmWxz5C4ZS45NKtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). Biden could order strikes on the Iran-backed militias, which would be a major escalation of the attacks it has already conducted in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. But those strikes have not deterred the proxy forces. He could also go after Iranian suppliers of drones and missiles, perhaps even inside Iran, but that could open another front in the war. Iran yesterday tried to distance itself from the attack. A foreign ministry spokesman said that the militias “do not take orders” from Iran.

Former President Donald Trump, who in the past has vowed to pull the U.S. out of NATO and recently threatened never to come to the aid of allies in the organization, looks very likely to be the Republican nominee for the White House. At the same time, some Republicans in Congress are looking to limit American aid to Ukraine. Europe’s worries have been further fueled in recent months by Vladimir Putin’s militarization of Russia’s economy and huge spending increases for the country’s army and its weapons industry. To prepare, NATO will test its readiness in a monthslong military exercise — including 90,000 troops — that began last week. The exercise, which is a test of how NATO forces would respond to a Russian invasion, has rattled nerves in border states, particularly the Baltic and Nordic countries. Analysis: An invasion could happen within five years of a conclusion of the war in Ukraine, according to some officials and experts, who believe that would be enough time for Moscow to rebuild and rearm its military.

The protests have become the first major test for France’s newly appointed prime minister, Gabriel Attal. Many farmers complain that imports are undercutting their livelihood, that wages are too low and that regulations have become suffocating. But their demands are so varied that the protests present an increasingly precarious moment for the government, one that defies easy solutions. What’s next? Attal met with the main farmer unions yesterday, and the government said there would be new announcements today. But it was unclear whether that would persuade farmers to pack up and leave, with rolling shifts set to last at least several days.

What did they watch? [Here’s a look at the trends](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnmxXPP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMS8yOS9idXNpbmVzcy9tZWRpYS9tb3N0LXBvcHVsYXItc3RyZWFtaW5nLXR2Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjQwMTMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExMzgzMiZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTY3NzYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmWxz5C4ZS45NKtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). Original shows were less popular. Last year, the 10 most-watched original shows accounted for 134 billion minutes of viewing time, a 32 percent decline from the top 10 originals in 2022. Instead, viewers turned to older shows: “Friends,” for instance, was streamed for 25 billion minutes last year, up from 14 billion minutes in 2022. But the unexpected streaming hit from last year was “Suits,” a legal procedural that aired from 2011 to 2019. With 57.7 billion minutes of viewing time in 2023, it eclipsed both “The Office” in 2020 and “Stranger Things” in 2022 as the most-streamed show on television in a single year.
