1. Trump keeps Iran blockade as oil firms plan for extended disruption
-- President Donald Trump said he would not lift the U.S. naval blockade of Iran's ports without a nuclear deal with Tehran, while Reuters reported he met oil executives on a possible months-long extension.
-- The decision keeps Strait of Hormuz risk at the center of energy and inflation pricing, with crude near wartime highs and policy pressure shifting from diplomacy to endurance.
2. Supreme Court guts key Voting Rights Act provision
-- The U.S. Supreme Court narrowed a major section of the Voting Rights Act, according to Reuters, in a ruling that limits federal tools used to challenge race-based electoral maps.
-- The decision reshapes election-law litigation before the next cycle and raises the bar for plaintiffs seeking court-ordered district remedies.
3. Appeals court rules Trump's border asylum ban illegal
-- A federal appeals court agreed with a lower court that the Trump administration's border asylum ban is unlawful, according to the Associated Press.
-- The ruling sets up another immigration-policy clash over executive power, border control, and statutory asylum rights.
4. London stabbing of two Jewish men treated as terrorism
-- British police said two Jewish men were stabbed in London and that the attack is being handled as terrorism, with both victims reported in critical condition.
-- The case adds to security pressure around Jewish communities in Europe as officials confront spillover tensions from the Middle East conflict.
5. Britain weighs social-media ban for under-16s
-- Britain opened a consultation on banning social media access for users under 16, according to Reclaim The Net, adding to a wider push for age-gating and child-safety controls online.
-- The debate pits child-protection arguments against privacy, digital-ID, and speech concerns as governments move toward more restrictive platform rules.
