Instead, it is pursuing a survival strategy of fighting on and selecting targets to raise the war’s costs so high that the U.S. and Israel would think twice before attacking again. Also: today’s stories, including how the disruption of oil-tanker traffic is becoming increasingly urgent for the global economy; how a bipartisan bill aimed at addressing housing affordability that passed through the U.S. Senate could hit a snag in the House of Representatives; and whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can declare victory without a regime change in Iran, despite it being his goal in the war.

    U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s tone in his public statements about the war in Iran is drawing criticism that it glorifies violence and is posturing that runs counter to professional soldiering.

Also: today’s stories, including why oil prices spiked to near $120 per barrel Monday before retreating below $100; why 17 candidates are competing in Tuesday's special election for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District; and why Balendra Shah is on track to become Nepal’s next prime minister.

Also in today’s stories: why Kristi Noem lost President Trump's trust; how war in Iran adds to existing strains on U.S. employment; and contributor Murr Brewster shares her enduring love of libraries.
