Surging EAC grabs share of lead with escape vs. Arellano; Mapua, Perpetual gut out wins
Emilio Aguinaldo College narrowly escaped a determined Arellano University with a 66-64 win on Wednesday to extend its winning streak and grab a share of top spot in the 18th Filoil Preseason Cup. The Generals wasted a 12-point lead, but restored order in the endgame thanks to clutch baskets from holdovers Brianne Angeles and Nicole Quinal to surge to their fourth straight wins for a 6-1 card. More importantly, EAC forced a tie at the top with Colegio de San Juan de Letran. Down one in the final minute, Angeles completed a layup off a dish from rookie EJ Castillo, making up for a missed three-pointer in the previous play to give EAC a slim 65-64 lead. Quinal then split his free throws after forcing a foul from King Vinoya to seal it for the Generals. Quinal top-scored EAC with 15 points while Jude Bagay and Ruzzelle Dominguez posted 11 and 10 markers each as the Generals continued to make its case as a title contender ahead of NCAA Season 101. In other games, Mapua University and University of Perpetual Help System DALTA took care of their jobs against Jose Rizal University and San Sebastian College-Recoletos, respectively. The defending champions Cardinals relied on an all-around outing from graduating Clint Escamis to pull off a 76-68 win against the rebuilding Heavy Bombers. Escamis posted 13 points, seven assists, and three rebounds to help Mapua improve to 4-2 while Cyril Gonzales churned out a team-high 21 markers together with four rebounds, two dimes, and two steals. Perpetual, on the other hand, halted a three-game slide by eking out a 75-61 win against the Stags behind near double-double showing from debuting transferee Patrick Sleat. The former FEU star poured in 13 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and two steals while sophomore Mark Gojo Cruz supplied the help with 12 markers, six boards, and two dimes as they hiked their card to 2-4. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Israel Says It Assassinated Iran's Most Senior Military Commander
Israel said it had killed a newly installed senior Iranian military official on Tuesday, just days after his predecessor was slain, further destabilizing Iran's military chain of command as the war entered its fifth day. Since Israel began bombing Iran on Friday, it has killed at least 11 senior generals while striking Iranian nuclear sites and missile launchers, in what it calls an effort to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. On Tuesday morning, the Israeli military said it had killed Maj. Gen. Ali Shadmani, describing him as the most senior military commander in Iran. He was appointed to his post four days ago, replacing a general who was killed by Israel on the first day of hostilities. Iran did not immediately comment on Israel's claim about General Shadmani. If confirmed, his death would deal yet another blow to Iran's beleaguered military leadership. A senior Israeli defense official said that the killing of General Shadmani reflected Israel's decades-long effort to infiltrate Iran's intelligence services, as well as the careless mistakes senior Iranian officials have been making as they try to flee Israeli attacks. Later on Tuesday, the Israeli military launched more airstrikes, with dozens of aircraft bombing the Isfahan area of central Iran, targeting missile launchers, according to Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, the Israeli military's chief spokesman. He said in a televised briefing that Iran still had 'significant capabilities that could cause serious damage.' President Trump declared on Tuesday that 'we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran' and called for Iran's 'unconditional surrender' amid growing signs that the United States was considering joining Israel's bombing campaign.

The Generals rode on the steady shooting of Brianne Angeles, Joshua Tolentino, and Jon Cudiamat to race to their third straight win and hike their record to 5-1, tying De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde at second spot. Angeles top-scored with 12 points laced with four rebounds and one assist while Tolentino and Cudiamat each chipped in 11 markers as the Generals continued to prove that they're a legit title contender come NCAA Season 101.

It was all EAC since then with Jethro Bacud even sending them to a 26-point cushion after his layup midway in the fourth period, 70-44. The loss, meanwhile, sent the ALTAs to a 1-4 slate. Only Patrick Sleat could come up with a double-digit production after the former FEU standout posted 10 points. Before this game, EAC had also frustrated defending champion Mapua University, 71-64, before pulling off a tight 75-71 escape victory against Jose Rizal University.

An Iranian Bomb Won't Be Stopped by Bombing Alone
Whatever their differences, the US and Israel share one overriding priority when it comes to Iran: to prevent the regime from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Devastating Israeli airstrikes have both delayed that possibility and, over the longer term, made an Iranian attempt to 'break out' more likely. The US must focus on what it can do to lower those odds. Israel's initial surprise attack killed several high-ranking generals and nuclear scientists and knocked out many of Iran's air defenses. Israeli forces have targeted the country's three main nuclear sites at Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, apparently crippling its only uranium-conversion facility. The strikes widened over the weekend to include gas fields and other energy-related targets, even as Iranian missiles hit Tel Aviv and Haifa.
