Iran’s Strait Moves and Pentagon Strain

Iran’s bold moves in the Strait of Hormuz—including an attack on a Singapore-flagged vessel—are rattling global markets and undermining fragile peace talks, while the UN has paused its escort program. Meanwhile, the Pentagon faces mounting pressure: Iran’s assault on a U.S. Navy base in Bahrain may have been more severe than reported, potentially forcing a U.S. troop withdrawal, and a critical weapons shortage threatens regional operations. Domestically, the Supreme Court has handed down sweeping immigration rulings, ending protections for Haitians and Syrians and weakening asylum pathways, while also striking down Hawaii’s gun-carry permit law, leaving lawmakers scrambling. House Speaker Mike Johnson’s housing bill was derailed by Trump’s intervention, and his push for voting reforms stalls amid Republican resistance, as midterm elections loom. In health news, CDC emails expose vaccine and autism response strains, while the National Park Service plans to drain the Reflecting Pool after July 4th, and fireworks caused a disruption at an outdoor movie screening.
