- 33 minutes ago
- Description
- The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed by Iran for almost four weeks – throwing global oil markets into chaos – and there is no clear end in sight. US President Donald Trump has touted diplomatic efforts to end Iran's blockade, while also moving to deploy thousands more troops to the Middle East and looking into possible US Navy escorts for oil tankers.
Iran has been laying traps and moving military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island, according to people familiar with US intelligence reporting. Talks between the United States and Iran are ongoing – though both sides are describing things very differently.
Here's a roundup of retired US generals analyzing the fourth week of the Iran war.

- Senate votes to pay TSA workers, but when will airport lines ease?

- Description
- The Senate unanimously moved to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and part of Customs and Border Protection, in a rare overnight session. The agreement would fund other DHS components, such as the Transportation Security Administration and US Coast Guard, but the House will still need to act before funded agencies within the department can reopen.
The move is meant to alleviate long lines at airports, while lawmakers continue to debate possible reforms to immigration enforcement by DHS. The move came just hours after President Donald Trump had directed his newly installed Department of Homeland Security chief to swiftly pay TSA agents in a bid to reduce lines at airports as talks appeared to have fallen apart.
