Middle East oil ex-porters are racing to build pipelines to bypass the straight-of-four
“moves, where shipping has stalled since the beginning of the U.S. Iran War.”
NPR's Genereph has more." U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Basant says the straight-of-war moves will become irrelevant, and the next two years, as new pipelines are built, but that's not how energy analysts see it. That's Robert McNally, a former energy advisor in President George W. Bush's administration.

Empires Polina Litvinova reports from Kiev that Zelensky assumes this will happen after elections in Russia. According to President Zelensky, Russia plans to use new conscripts to completely seize

Tennessee is one of a handful of states to consider ten commandments legislation, and lawmakers
ultimately decided to allow but not mandate their display.
Now an investigation is underway from the American Civil Liberties Union and two groups that advocate for the separation of church and state. They filed records requests with school boards, and one district in a county neighboring Nashville, the board voted to fund printed displays. There were some misgivings, but the vote was unanimous, with members describing the commandments
