Iran and the U.S. have reached an agreement to end hostilities and open the Strait of Hormuz to seaborne traffic. The focus of the MOU is on economic measures, from ensuring the free flow of traffic through the strait to providing Iran with economic incentives for good behavior.

President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have signed a memorandum of understanding laying out terms for ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement calls for a permanent end to hostilities and starts a 60-day negotiating clock to reach a final deal on the future of Iran's nuclear program. It will see Iran dilute its stockpile of enriched uranium in exchange for sweeping economic relief from the United States. In France, Benjamin Reverber has called it a "historic opportunity to prevent Iran from acquiring any nuclear weapon".


The US is planning to withdraw access to deep strike capabilities for NATO allies as part of its plan to pull out of Europe's security architecture. European nations are stepping in to replace roughly $40 billion to $50 billion in American military assets.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a six-month Pentagon review of American forces in Europe. The outcome of the review will depend on how fast European countries take responsibility for their own security. NATO’s top military officer is weighing alternative plans to defend Europe should it come under attack from Russia, after the United States announced it is cutting the number of aircraft and warships that it would provide in a security crisis. Last month, the Pentagon warned its NATO allies it would be scaling down its commitment to focus on potential threats elsewhere.


Ukrainian drones have hit a Moscow oil refinery for the second time this week. The facility supplies nearly 40% of the Moscow region's petrol and 50% of its diesel fuel.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Russian oil facilities, aiming to cut Moscow’s revenue for the war and make Russians feel the consequences of the invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had held “an important coordination call” with the presidents of the U.S. and France and won pledges of support from this week's G7 summit. He is expected to hold talks in Brussels later Thursday with NATO and EU leaders about the possibility of a continental system to defend against ballistic missiles.


Doughboy's CHGO Enterprises will serve 'basic comfort food' to attract visitors from the soon-to-open Obama Presidential Center a mile-and-a-half away. After nearly a decade of planning and fundraising, the center opens to the public on Friday following an official dedication on Thursday.

The Obama Presidential Center opens to the public on Friday following an official dedication on Thursday. The privately funded $850m presidential centre, opening nearly a decade after Obama left office, sits on a 19-acre campus in Chicago’s Jackson Park close to where he lived as a young man and entered politics. It is expected to be the biggest gathering of donors, fundraisers and business leaders aligned with the Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. On 14 June Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday by hosting a raucous crowd for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on the White House South Lawn. Four days later Barack Obama will unveil a monument to his legacy that honours the audacity of art.


Tropical Storm Arthur was downgraded to a low pressure area along the upper Texas coast Wednesday night. Forecasters expect its remnants to bring life-threatening flooding and days of heavy rains to parts of the southeastern United States.

Tropical Storm Arthur was downgraded to a low pressure area along the upper Texas coast late Wednesday night. It is expected to continue weakening as it moves across south-eastern Texas and western Louisiana before crossing the southeast US on Friday. Some communities in Louisiana and Mississippi were distributing sand bags to residents and cleared debris from drainage systems ahead of the storm. Forecasters still expect the storm to cause life-threatening flooding, property damage and disruptions to commerce and travel. Several inches of rain are expected from the storm in the southeastern US into Friday.


Shelter-in-place order in effect for the area south of 101 Freeway to Washington Boulevard and east of Soto Street to Indiana Street due to the risk of hazardous air. The fire was reported at 2:30 p.m. on the roof of a commercial building in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles.

A massive fire broke out at the Lineage cold food storage facility on South Los Palos Street in Boyle Heights. The shelter-in-place order for nearby residents was lifted around 8:45 p.m. About 70 people were evacuated from the area. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it's believed to be caused by an ammonia leak. In August 2024, firefighters responded to a solar panel fire on the roof of the same building and had to fight it with water drops.

Democrats refused to agree to extension of a warrantless surveillance authority under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as long as Bill Pulte was set to assume the role. The Republicans moved too fast with the hearings of Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which delayed the nomination of Donald Trump's director of national intelligence nominee.

Trump blocks the Senate from confirming Jay Clayton as director of national intelligence. The delay hurts Republicans' efforts to reauthorize a key surveillance law. It also hurts Majority Leader John Thune's plans to fast-track the nomination in a bid to unlock Democratic votes for the now-expired spying program. Trump is escalating his war with Congress against members of his own party in Congress. He threatened not to sign a reauthorization of a critical surveillance law unless the Senate passed a sweeping election bill that has already failed.


Romanch Mahajan, 18, died after falling from a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park on Tuesday, June 16.

An 18-year-old tourist visiting New York City with his family was killed when a Central Park carriage horse got loose and took off in the park on Wednesday afternoon, throwing him from the carriage. The driver has been suspended and the horse taken out of service. Two people were flung from the careening cab as the horse bolted through the park's busy loop. A video shows a person being thrown from the speeding carriage. It happened near Tavern on the Green around 2:45 p.m.


The Trump administration spent $14.2 million on a no-bid contract to have the bottom of the reflecting pool painted and the seams resealed for the 250th anniversary of US independence celebrations.

The Trump administration has spent millions renovating the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to make it "American flag blue" for the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations. The new hue comes despite significant cost and controversy. It is something of a stumble after boasts by President Donald Trump about how he was able to make the famous landmark look so much better than his predecessors did. After last weekend’s hot weather, residents noticed that the pool had turned green. The reason is residual algae from the supply lines which have been sitting dormant for eight weeks while construction has been taking place. Interior Department says it's part of the normal startup process.
