What we know about renewed fighting between the US and Iran

Renewed hostilities have broken out between Iran and the United States, with each side claiming the other initiated attacks on military and civilian targets. Iran accused the US ⁠of violating a ceasefire by targeting two ships in ⁠the Strait of Hormuz and attacking civilian areas. The US military said it acted in self-defence after Iran launched “unprovoked” strikes on three of its navy destroyers passing through the strait.

U.A.E. says Iran has resumed attacks as U.S. moves to reopen Strait of Hormuz

The United Arab Emirates said Monday it came under attack by Iran for the first time since a fragile ceasefire in the Mideast war took hold early April. The attacks appeared to be in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global energy. The U.S. military meanwhile said it sank six small boats from Iran as it moved to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The U.A.E. Defence Ministry said Iran launched four cruise missiles, with three shot down and one falling into the sea, while in the eastern emirate

Jaslene Massey breaks a U.S. discus record at CIF championships

CLOVIS, Calif. — There were many impressive performances at the CIF state track and field championships on Saturday, but the most breathtaking of all was one the fans packed inside Buchanan High’s Veterans Memorial Stadium did not see — Jaslene Massey’s throw of 196 feet, 4 inches in the discus — a mark that not only broke the state record but was the farthest throw ever by a girl in a U.S. high school meet. The discus competition finished before any of the track events started and was held on an auxiliary field, but the Aliso Niguel senior got a standing ovation

How wing-backs and chemistry helped the US break through against Senegal | USA

The US men’s national team has undergone considerable change from one window to the next throughout Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure. And it makes some sense; the Argentinian had plenty of first-hand assessments to conduct, limiting the core group’s ability to iron out patterns of play and forge partnerships. Still, amid all that turnover, Antonee Robinson and Sergiño Dest were expected to remain the first-choice options at full-back (or wing-back, depending on the system) for the 2026 World Cup. Both had been essential in the 2022 cycle, after all, and continued to fare well when healthy for their club teams (Fulham for

Trump recently edited possible U.S.-Iran agreement, including on enriched uranium and Strait of Hormuz, source says

Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency said Friday that the potential deal on the table with the U.S., which President Trump said he was preparing to make a “final determination” on imminently, was still “in the final stages of ratification in Iran and has not yet been decided.” The report questioned the president’s “claims about the Iran deal,” which Mr. Trump presented in his Friday Truth Social post as demands. They included that Tehran reopen and help to de-mine the Strait of Hormuz, and that the regime cooperate with the U.S. to have its stockpile of highly-enriched uranium “destroyed.”  The Fars

US bombs Iranian military sites while Kuwait is hit by drone and missile fire

The United States said Monday that it bombed radar and drone sites in Iran after Tehran shot down an American drone over the weekend. Iran then said it launched a strike of its own, and Kuwait reported incoming fire. The nominal ceasefire between Iran and the US has been repeatedly tested with such back-and-forth attacks, even as officials from both countries try to negotiate an end to the war. It’s not clear how close they are to a deal — and there is always the risk that an attack could derail those talks. In the meantime, Iran has maintained its

The Iran war just broke the petrodollar

The virtuous loop that has seen America underwrite stability in the Middle East in exchange for Gulf states recycling their dollar revenues into U.S. Treasurys has been broken. The understanding traces back to 1974, when Henry Kissinger struck one of the most consequential financial deals in modern history. Saudi Arabia would price its oil in dollars and park the surpluses in U.S. assets — Treasurys above all. Other Gulf states followed. In exchange, America provided security guarantees and a stable global order. The arrangement was elegant in its circularity: Oil consumers paid dollars for energy, those dollars flowed to Riyadh
