Peering into the future with tech-tinted glasses

Middle East mediators are working to coax Iranian and American officials to the negotiating table in Turkey this week in a bid聽to avert further escalation. The Trump administration聽has moved a 鈥渕assive armada鈥 into the Persian Gulf, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and at least 10 warships, which the president compared to the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean聽ahead of a strike on Venezuela last month.

A correction: An early version of the Saturday Daily intro misidentified the nationality of musician Billy Bragg. He is British.
