possibility of safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be provided, according to new procedures. But it did not specify what those procedures are. This comes after President Trump halted a short-lived U.S. military operation to wrangle control of the Strait from Iran, and Piers A.A. betrownly reports.
The operation called Project Freedom began Monday with the U.S. Navy guiding just two U.S.
flag merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz, but not before several Iranian revolutionary
guard speedboats were sunk in. Iran then fired at the U.S. Navy and launch missiles at Nabor, the United Arab Emirates threatening a month-long ceasefire. Defense Secretary Pete Haxes said on Tuesday, the operation was "a gift from the U.S. to the world to secure commercial shipping."
But later that day, Trump declared the operation paused. He said it "great progress toward a final deal with Iran but set a blockade on Iranian
“courts, remains in place, ending that blockade as a key Iranian demand.”
A.A. betrownly, and Piers News, Dubai." Results are in from primaries in Ohio and Indiana. In Ohio, former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown will try to win a seat against incumbent
Republican Senator John Husted this fall.
Brown lost his own Senate seat in 2024 to a different GOP challenger. In Indiana, President Trump's endorsements helped five challengers defeat state Republicans senators. The ousted Republicans had opposed Trump's demands for redistricting in Indiana. Separately, there was a special election in Michigan yesterday for a single state Senate
seat. The Democratic candidate won, that means Democrats will control Michigan's state Senate at least through the end of this year. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing the New York Times. The EEOC alleges the newspaper chose not to promote a white male employee because of his
“race or sex, and Piers' Andrea Xu reports.”
The lawsuit filed in federal court alleges that the New York Times passed over the white male employee for a vacant position as deputy real estate editor last year. According to the complaint, the employee was not given a final round interview, despite extensive experience that matched the requirements of the job. Eventually, the job went to a multiracial woman, who the EEOC said, lacked experience in real estate
journalism. The EEOC contends that the hiring decision was influenced by the newspaper's goal to increase the number of black and Latino employees and women in leadership. In a statement, the New York Times called the allegations politically motivated and wrote quote, "neither race nor gender played a role in this decision, we hired the most qualified
candidate, Andrea Xu and Piers News." The Pentagon says the U.S. military struck an alleged drug boat in the Eastern Pacific yesterday killing three alleged drug traffickers. The Trump administration does not provide evidence or information about the allegations of drug trafficking.

“One person is died from a Sunday night mass shooting in a suburb of Oklahoma City, more”
than 20 other people were wounded at a gathering of young people they had congregated at a local park, police say no suspects have been identified. A giant tsunami sent water more than 1,500 feet up the sides of an Alaskan fewer last year. It also happens to be a popular destination for tourists, and Piers Rebecca Hirscher reports
on the findings of a new study about that massive wave event. The tsunami in Tracy Arm Fjord near Juno happened early in the morning last August. No one witnessed it firsthand. Now a study conducted by more than a dozen scientists finds that the so-called Megasunami was extremely powerful.
It destroyed trees and other vegetation hundreds of feet up the steep sides of the fjord, the study was published in the journal Science. The wave was triggered by a landslide next to a glacier, which is rapidly melting because of climate change, making the area unstable. The authors warn that more researchers urgently needed to predict when and where such tsunamis
will happen in the future. Rebecca Hirscher and Piers News came on News Network CNN says its founder Ted Turner has died at the age of 87. He built a media empire that included the TBS Super Station before he launched CNN in 1980. It was the first live 24-hour global news network.
