U.S. launched new airstrikes against Iran early Thursday, and Tehran responded by targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar in crossfire. The strikes came hours after Donald Trump said recent Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz signaled the end of the fragile ceasefire. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff talked to skeptical Republican leaders about the terms of a 60-day window to negotiate a deal over Iran's nuclear program. Stocks dropped worldwide Wednesday after Trump said the ceasefire agreement was "over" but then trimmed its losses. Oil prices rose and stock markets dropped.
Maine Democrat Graham Platner suspended his campaign for Senate on Wednesday night. The state party will choose an alternate candidate to face Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a marquee matchup this fall. A woman accused Platner of sexually assaulting her in 2021. He has denied the rape allegation. Democrats are trying to wrest control of Congress from Republicans and weaken President Donald Trump's grip on power. Flipping the Maine seat held by five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins is critical to those ambitions, and Democrats must field a new candidate with less than four months until Election Day.
Donald Trump flew from Turkey to England on an older Air Force One plane instead of the new, Qatari-gifted aircraft he used to travel to the Nato summit in Ankara. The change in plans prompted questions about security concerns. Trump had flown to Turkey on the new $400m aircraft, which was given to the US as a gift last year by the Qatari government. He is traveling Wednesday to North Dakota on his first trip aboard the new Boeing 747-8 luxury plane gifted to the U.S. by Qatar.
David Hearn, 67, was indicted on a felony destruction of property charge for allegedly damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He is accused of damaging 2 square feet of the sealant from the bottom of the pool and causing more than $1,000 worth of damage.

Several people have been arrested and cited after Trump blamed vandals for destroying the pool. Six people had been arrested for alleged vandalism, but he has yet to provide evidence.

More than 8 million passengers fly through the airport each year. The renaming comes after Gov. Ron DeSantis approved a plan to donate a 2.63-acre property in downtown Miami for the site of Trump's presidential library.

New data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) shows that the El Niño event in the central Pacific Ocean is rapidly surging toward record territory.

Noam Raydan is a senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He believes the unraveling of the 60-day memorandum of understanding (MoU) was always likely to expose unresolved disputes over who controls one of the world's most strategic waterways. Raydan explains why Iran's campaign at sea goes far beyond isolated ship attacks, what recent tanker strikes reveal about Tehran's strategy and why coming days of ship-tracking data could determine whether a new maritime order is taking hold.

Nigel Farage resigned as the member of Parliament for Clacton on Tuesday, triggering a by-election in the seat. The resignation follows speculation concerning undeclared financial gifts Farage has received over the past few years. Christopher Harborne, a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire, gave Farage's party more than 22 million pounds (around $29 million) over the last 7 years. George Cottrell, a British aristocrat who served time in the U.S. for wire fraud, provided funding for parts of Farage's political operation, including social media, staff, security, travel, and accommodation. On Sunday evening, Farage released a statement in which he said he was the victim of an “establishment hit job” and insisted he had followed the rules.
Tropical Storm Bavi is intensifying over the warm Pacific waters east of Guam on Thursday. It's expected to rapidly intensify into a dangerous Category 4 or Category 5 super typhoon that will affect the U.S. Northern Mariana Islands and Guam on Sunday afternoon or evening. Bavi raked across the island of Rota, about 60 miles northeast of Guam, at 9 a.m. local time Monday (7 pm EDT Sunday) at Category 5 intensity.

Trump wants to give Ukraine the right to produce US-made Patriot missile systems in Kyiv. He also wants to offer security guarantees to Ukraine and suggests Europe could get licences for Patriot missile production. The idea of licensed production in Ukraine will deflect criticism that Washington is not supplying enough high-end air defence systems. George Beebe, director of the Quincy Institute's Grand Strategy program, says it won't solve Ukraine's urgent air defense problems. Trump doesn't want to impose further sanctions on Russia as he thinks Putin doesn't like what's going on.
RA San Juan went missing on Nov. 15, 2017, a week after it set off from Ushuaia on Argentina's southern tip for its home port at Mar del Plata naval base. Before vanishing, seawater entered the ventilation system, causing a battery on the vessel to short-circuit and start a fire. It sank and then imploded. Claudio Villamide, commander of the submarine force at the time of the tragedy, was given a three-year suspended sentence for aggravated negligence and breach of duties. He was also barred from holding public office for six years. Three other former naval chiefs were acquitted.
Ukraine's long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries have caused severe fuel shortages across Russia and occupied Ukraine. Russia has banned exports of diesel after Ukrainian drone strikes triggered widespread fuel shortages. The Kremlin is implementing temporary mitigations to try to ensure sufficient gasoline flows to the domestic market while downplaying the severity of the wide-scale gasoline shortages. It will likely fail to address the direct cause of the gasoline shortages - Ukrainian strikes against Russian energy infrastructure, because the Russian defense industrial base (DIB) and military are unable to rapidly strengthen Russia’s air defense umbrella.
