US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Iran of failing to honour commitments in negotiations reached with Washington last month and said Tehran is not serious about talks. He warned that allowing Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz would set a dangerous precedent for international trade and freedom of navigation. Oil prices climbed toward $95 a barrel on Wednesday after U.S. Central Command completed its 11th consecutive night of strikes against Iran's military targets. Four tankers carrying Saudi crude were diverted out of the Red Sea on Wednesday, one day after three others had done so following threats from Saudi Arabia.

U.S. Central Command carried out its 10th consecutive night of strikes on Iran in a push to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The latest attack came after Washington announced the death of three US service members killed during an Iranian attack on a communications network in Jordan.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had attacked and stopped two “non-compliant oil tankers” attempting to transit the Strait as the war reignited.
Donald Trump has approved an agreement with Saudi Arabia that could provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear program. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says any deal signed by the U.S. would not lead to proliferation. The deal is expected to last 30 years and involve US firms such as Westinghouse in developing the programme. It could allow for the building of a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia following a joint US-Saudi study. Experts say the deal could potentially provide Saudi Arabia with a path to nuclear weapons unless stringent safeguards are put in place.
Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine testify before the Senate Appropriations Committee to seek $67.1 billion in supplemental money for the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The Iran war has cost the Defense Department $37.5 billion to date. Sen.

President Trump is imposing 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, from hockey equipment to alcoholic beverages. The new tariffs are set to take effect on Aug. 19. The administration says it's payback for Canadian duties on American cars, dairy products, and alcohol. The Supreme Court threw out Trump’s import duties on many foreign products in February, but the latest tariffs draw on a different presidential power that permits “new or additional duties” on any country that discriminates against the commerce of the United States.
Trump threatens to bomb Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site. He also blames Jordan for the deaths of at least two US troops when an Iranian missile hit a Jordanian air base last week. The US military has now released the identities of four service members killed in the renewed fighting. U.S. forces struck Iran for the eleventh consecutive night as CENTCOM sent aircraft to hit military sites, including command centers, maritime assets, and drone facilities. Iranian media reported explosions in Bushehr, home to the Iranian nuclear power plant.
Two U.S. troops were killed in action and one remains missing in Jordan on Friday while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Another four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals and discharged. Unidentified remains found near the site of an attack by Iran left two dead and one missing. An American service member was killed Saturday in Iraq during "controlled detonation" of a downed Iranian drone. President Donald Trump is attending the dignified transfer Wednesday of four US service members killed in the Middle East. It will be the third funeral since he launched the war in Iran in February.

The Red Sea has served as the main alternate route out for millions of barrels of Saudi oil per day.

Single bus fares across England will be capped at £2 from January. The nationwide cap is currently set at £3 until the end of March 2027. Some metro mayors, including London and Greater Manchester, already have lower top rates for single tickets. A £2 cap had been in place between January 2023 and December 2024, but the Labour administration argued it was not affordable. New Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the cap on bus fares as one of his first changes in office. It will cover all of England, excluding London, and is expected to cost more than £500m.
Yemen's Houthi rebels threatened to block ships from Saudi Arabia if they tried to pass through the Red Sea. Marco Rubio called Iran the "troublemaker" of the Gulf region. The Red Sea is a crucial outlet for oil rerouted from the Strait of Hormuz to global markets and an important conduit for grain and other imports to Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries. A blockade could pressure President Donald Trump to scale back his strikes on Iran in two major ways: by threatening economic calamity through skyrocketing oil prices and by pressuring Saudis to disallow use of their bases and airspace for attacks against Iran.
