An overview of front pages for May 5. A primary focus is the escalating war between the United States and Iran, which has severely disrupted global shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and caused oil prices to surge. Domestically, the Supreme Court has issued a significant temporary ruling to maintain mail-order access to the abortion pill mifepristone. Several reports also highlight a hostile political climate, ranging from partisan schisms affecting local businesses in Idaho to the White House reconsidering its hands-off approach to artificial intelligence oversight.
