More News Than Just "Frankenstorm"

As you would imagine, Hurricane Sandy is the lead story in the NY Times, Washington Post, CBS, and NBC. We are in no way detracting from concern over the loss of life and property experienced. However, there are other noteworthy events going on around the world as well. Just wanted to tip everyone off about a blurb in the AP which, so far as I can tell has only been picked up by ABC (though not a main story)and Israel's Haaretz newspaper. Seems that Iran is conducting military exercises near its border with Iraq, a provocative action that has potentially far reaching implications for the region. Particularly so with an increasingly anxious Israel that appears to be looking for an excuse for an attack on Iran.
