Two UAE-flagged oil tankers were struck by drones in the Strait of Hormuz, with no injuries reported but major implications for global energy security. The UAE blames Iran, calling it piracy and a breach of international law, while Iran remains silent. UK maritime authorities confirm similar drone attacks on vessels in the same area, raising alarms over freedom of navigation. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner heads to the Middle East next week to push for Gaza peace talks amid resistance to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, as regional tensions simmer alongside maritime threats.

Oil just surged past $100 a barrel as Middle East tensions explode — U.S. strikes on Iranian tankers and Houthi attacks on Saudi oil sites send shockwaves through global markets. The U.S. blames Iran for funding proxy warfare, while Saudi Arabia stands firmly with Washington. Consumers feel the pain: gas prices climb, diesel soars, airlines slash routes and hike fares. With negotiations collapsing over the Strait of Hormuz — where Iran claims toll rights and the U.S. demands free passage — this volatile standoff could reshape energy costs worldwide.

The GOP is staging a high-stakes, Trump-centric midterm convention in Dallas — a rare spectacle designed to electrify the base and frame the election as a referendum on his agenda. While some candidates skip town to focus on local races, others bet Trump’s presence will energize voters. Tensions simmer as party leaders like John Thune quietly attend despite policy clashes, while Democrats see the spectacle as a gift — reminding voters of Trump’s controversial legacy. For Republicans in tight races, it’s about keeping Trump’s influence alive: if Democrats win, his agenda dies — so they’re rallying to prove he’s still the dominant force. This convention isn’t just about speeches — it’s a test of loyalty, momentum, and whether Trump’s brand still commands the battlefield.
