More than one week into the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has trickled away to virtually nothing. Oil prices and global anxieties have both spiked, which in turn have prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to suggest the U.S. Navy might escort merchant vessels through the crucial strait. That’s a risky proposition in itself, but there’s also no concrete plan on the table yet, despite Trump’s efforts on Monday to calm markets. Until then—whenever and however that happens—the violence will continue and the turbulence in global oil and commodities markets with it. In the first days…

It is the first time in 10 years that the Hammers have reached this stage of the competition but Bowen insisted the aim is for the Irons is to…

President Donald Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, one of the most visible administration figures spreading immigration falsehoods and the public face of what Trump calls the largest domestic mass deportation operation in U.S. history. Noem falsely said no American citizens had been arrested as part of sweeping enforcement efforts and inaccurately said the majority of detained immigrants had criminal records. She also quickly labeled two U.S. citizens fatally shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis as domestic terrorists, although that was not supported by the facts. On March 5, Trump said in a Truth Social post he would…
