Early this morning, Mark's column began "In the early hours of Sunday morning (Iran time), six B-2 bombers flew from the United States and dropped a dozen bunker-busters on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facility at Fordow. Sites at Natanz and Esfahan were also hit..." More on this breaking news here.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked at SteynOnline:
~ Steyn's Song of the Week was on "Soliloquy" from the musical Carousel (adapted from his book A Song for the Season).
~ Mark's Monday Notebook was on the incentivising of political violence.
~ Mark's G7 Summit Notebook was our most read piece of the week.
~ On Wednesday Mark fielded questions from club members around the planet in his live Clubland Q&A. If you missed it, here's the action replay.
~ Laura Rosen Cohen returned on Thursday with her excellent round-up of links and observations on Israel and Iran.
~ On Friday, we shared this exclusive interview of Mark by his former GB News colleague Dan Wootton. This was one of several shows recorded before a live audience on board the recent Mark Steyn Cruise.
~ On this week's episode of Mark Steyn on the Town, we wished a happy birthday to a legendary British lyricist (and beloved Mark Steyn Club member) and enjoyed a cavalcade of Non-Stop Number Ones down the decades. In case you missed it, here's the action replay available for download by club members.
~ Finally, Rick McGinnis was back last night with his review of Michael Powell's "The Small Back Room".
A new week begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 5:30pm British Summer Time/ 12:30pm North American Eastern Time.
