The day in world news is defined by a volatile mix of escalation and uneasy diplomacy. The U.S. struck Iranian missile, drone and radar sites after what Washington says was an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a response President Trump cast as proportional even as it strains a fragile interim understanding meant to calm months of conflict and reopen the vital waterway. In contrast, Washington also helped broker a rare diplomatic opening as the U.S., Israel and Lebanon signed a trilateral framework for phased border de-escalation, tying Israeli redeployments to verified disarmament and a stronger Lebanese state presence. Elsewhere, California’s appeals court upheld Harvey Weinstein’s Los Angeles rape and sexual assault convictions while ordering resentencing, preserving a landmark judgment even as one chapter of his New York legal saga appears to be closing.
