Day 121. Second night of it now. We struck ten targets near Sirik and Qeshm — close enough to the strait you could throw the question at it — after a drone put a hole in a tanker hauling two million barrels through the very water the deal was supposed to make safe. Iran answered on Kuwait and Bahrain again. Trump wants to ‘complete the job.’ Eleven days ago they signed a paper promising exactly none of this. Here’s what keeps me up: the tankers are still moving — demining’s underway, traffic’s back — so crude closed Friday at sixty-nine dollars, its lowest since February, while the missiles flew over the cargo. Same strait honoring the deal and breaking it in the same breath. I’ll keep the receipts on both. Leave the bottle.
Iran fired missiles and drones at the U.S. Fifth Fleet’s headquarters in Bahrain and the Ali al-Salem air base in Kuwait early Sunday, claiming eight American sites struck; a U.S. official reported no casualties, and Bahrain said a projectile damaged a home near its airport.
Vessel traffic through the strait has recovered to roughly 75% of where it ran before the war after a 60-day U.S. sanctions waiver let Iranian barrels flow and the naval blockade lifted, leaving WTI near $69 and Brent near $72 — the lowest since early March.
The Court, 6–3 in Mullin v. Doe, let the administration end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians, opening years-settled residents to removal; a separate 6–3 ruling struck state laws that require permission before carrying guns onto private property.
The UAE called Iran’s missiles and drones on Kuwait and Bahrain a violation of sovereignty and pressed the U.N. Security Council to act, while Qatar and Egypt urged both sides back to the table.
Algeria and Austria took the final knockout places Saturday to complete the field of 32.
Slade Cecconi held the Mariners scoreless over six innings and rookie Cooper Ingle’s two-run single — his first big-league hit — carried the Guardians past Seattle 4–3 on Saturday.
