A U.S.-led naval blockade is disrupting Iran’s “shadow fleet” of tankers, which Tehran has used to secretly ship oil despite sanctions, according to The Wall Street Journal. Heightened enforcement in key waterways is squeezing Iran’s ability to move crude, raising pressure on its wartime finances and tightening global energy market oversight. 

The United Arab Emirates is seeking financial support from the U.S. to help shore up its economy during wartime disruptions, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The request underscores concern about regional instability and energy-market shocks, as U.A.E. officials look for backing to stabilize markets and maintain critical financial flows.

Iran’s Shadow Fleet & A Wartime Financial Lifeline

Waltz Bombing Iran Wouldn't Be A War Crime

Pentagon Review Withdrawal From Afghanistan 

Review Smelled 'Like A Cover-Up' 

Parmesan Cheese as Loan Collateral

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said that bombing Iran’s bridges and power plants would not constitute a war crime, defending President Trump’s threat to target Iranian infrastructure if diplomacy fails. Waltz argued that much of Iran’s infrastructure has dual military use, making it a legitimate target under the laws of war, while critics warned such strikes could cause massive civilian harm. 

The Pentagon says its review of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is nearly complete, with a final report expected soon. The investigation examines decision‑making leading up to the 2021 evacuation, including security failures during the Abbey Gate bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members. 

A Gold Star father whose son was killed in the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing says a previous Pentagon review of the Afghanistan withdrawal “smelled like a cover‑up,” as a new investigation takes a much deeper look at what happened. The new Pentagon review panel has examined more than 9 million documents, compared with about 3,000 in the earlier review, and is preparing a final report expected in the coming months. 

An Italian bank has begun accepting Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan cheese) as collateral for loans, recognizing the cheese’s high and stable value. Because the cheese has protected designation of origin (PDO) status and increases in value as it ages, banks can securely store it while producers access cash during long aging periods.

NFL Draft Coverage with Harper LeBel

Removing Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium would be extremely difficult but not unprecedented, according to The Wall Street Journal. The report outlines past cases—such as Libya and post‑Gulf War Iraq—where international pressure, inspections, and agreements succeeded in eliminating or exporting nuclear material. Experts say similar efforts with Iran would face major logistical, political, and security hurdles, making it one of the toughest challenges in any future nuclear deal. 

President Donald Trump says talks with Iran are back on, signaling a renewed diplomatic push to end the war even as deep divisions remain between the two sides. The announcement has sparked behind‑the‑scenes efforts to bridge gaps over security, sanctions, and Iran’s nuclear program, while Trump has also warned of further military action if a deal is not reached.
