-International Events-
1. U.S. launches new strikes on Iran for the second night in a row: The massive four-hour aerial operation targeted Iran's core defense networks, deploying U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps assets—including 49 Tomahawk cruise missiles—to destroy military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites across southern Iran. Iran’s military retaliated by declaring the strategic Strait of Hormuz entirely closed to traffic, threatening to fire upon any commercial ships or oil tankers transiting.

2. Third tanker hit near Oman after US attack kills three Indian sailors: A US attack on the Palau-flagged Settebello on Wednesday killed three Indian sailors, the Indian government confirms. CENTCOM has confirmed strikes on Settebello and Marivex but is yet to comment on reported strikes on Jalveer. The US says the crew "repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces", adding its aircraft hit the tanker's engine room as it transited the Gulf of Oman. (BBC)
3. Chaos Continues in Northern Ireland: Anti-Migration Rioters Clash with Police, Set Vehicles on Fire: Hordes of black balaclava masked men clashed with riot officers of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) on Wednesday in areas such as the Belfast suburb of Newtownabbey, where a lorry truck was set on fire by agitators. The truck is believed to have been a municipal “gully emptier” used to clean street drainage systems. Nearby, police were forced to deploy a water cannon to push back a large crowd attempting to break into a Newtownabbey hotel, likely over at least rumours of migrants being housed inside. (Breitbart) (AC- EU and other MSM outlets are minimizing the reporting or even blaming US sources for instigating the rioting, anything to deflect the true narrative and source of the anger.)
-US Events-
1. Feds charge 8 pro-Palestinian activists with conspiring to intimidate U of Michigan officials: Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment Wednesday against eight pro-Palestinian activists who are accused of conspiring to run a criminal intimidation campaign against U of Michigan officials while trying to force the school to cut financial ties to Israel. The document highlights several incidents that made headlines in the past few years, including fake bloody corpses that were placed in an elected university board member's yard and the spray-painting of anti-Israel messages at the home of the school's president at the time, Santa Ono.

2. Alabama's nitrogen gas executions constitute cruel and unusual punishment, judge rules: A federal judge has banned Alabama from executing a death row inmate by nitrogen hypoxia, reversing a previous opinion and concluding that the controversial and relatively new execution method is unconstitutionally cruel. The ruling, issued Tuesday, permanently prevents the state from putting Jeffrey Lee, 49, to death using nitrogen gas.(CBS)
