Full coverage can be found\u00a0here.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=5183\">Houthi attacks in Yemen threaten new shipping crisis in Red Sea as Iran digs in on Hormuz demands<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Iran presses demands on US as shipping standoff grinds on<\/h4>\n<p>An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States met its conditions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt is up to the U.S. side to stop and make amends for its illegal and destructive actions,\u201d Esmail Baghaei said Monday, noting the American blockade of Iranian ports.<\/p>\n<p>Iran wants\u00a0the U.S. to lift the blockade, pay compensation for months of war damage, lift economic sanctions and release Iran\u2019s frozen assets. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 a waterway that normally carries roughly one-fifth of the world\u2019s traded oil supplies \u2014 has become the war\u2019s most lasting consequence. The impasse has kept energy prices as a major focus of U.S. politics ahead of November\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Iran is holding separate talks with Oman over transit through the strait, including potentially a temporary shipping corridor. But it has said any actual reopening is contingent on talks with the U.S.<\/p>\n<h4>Israel declares closed military zone in Taybeh<\/h4>\n<p>Israel\u2019s military said Monday it had declared a\u00a0Christian-majority town\u00a0in the occupied West Bank a closed military zone to keep out Israeli settlers and other non-residents.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The new tactic is designed to keep Israelis out of Taybeh, which is surrounded by settlements to its east and west and has been subject to arson, vandalism and settlers coming onto private and village property. The order does not apply to Palestinian residents or journalists, who the army said would be allowed unless soldiers determine their presence poses a threat. The army said its troops would detain suspects and disperse gatherings to keep the peace.<\/p>\n<p>The designation comes after months of the army and police struggling to maintain order throughout the territory, where at least 87 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in 2026, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian Health Ministry. Parts of Taybeh lie in what\u2019s called \u201cArea B\u201d where Israel maintains security control, but residents have complained that the army and police are slow to respond to attacks by extremist settlers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=5181\">Universities are buying and selling property for data centers, prompting concerns about an AI brain drain<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Yemen provides death toll on Sunday\u2019s Houthi attack on Red Sea town<\/h4>\n<p>Yemen\u2019s Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked a Red Sea port town controlled by government forces on Sunday, killing seven and injuring 30 people. Yemen\u2019s Defense Ministry \u2014 which operates under its internationally recognized government \u2014 said four military personnel and three civilians were killed.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The attack on Mokha is the latest in\u00a0one of the largest waves\u00a0of Houthi strikes on Yemeni military positions and areas held by the Saudi-backed government since a 2022 truce. It comes as threats to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have renewed focus on the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait at its southern tip. Some shipping has shifted toward that route with Hormuz largely off limits to traffic.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Beekeepers try to restart honey production in Gaza<\/h4>\n<p>More than two years of war in Gaza flattened most of the territory and destroyed sectors of the economy, but beekeepers are now beginning to rebuild their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Before the start of the Israel-Hamas war, the sector was based in agricultural lands near the perimeter of the strip, which today remains under the control of Israel\u2019s military. But beekeepers have returned to areas near the Yellow Line that divides the territory and found enough hives to restart honey production. Producers in Gaza City and parts of Jabalia near the line are now maintaining hives to try and provide some income for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n<p>Yet they say their efforts are constrained by Israel\u2019s blockade on many items from entering the strip, including ones used for beekeeping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bee sector is an important sector for sustainability, ecological balance and farming,\u201d said Ibrahim al-Dabbeh, the head of the Cooperative Association of Beekeepers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=5179\">Consolidating debt with a mortgage refinance: Should you do it?<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much humiliation is Trump really willing to endure to heal the global economy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
