It’s one of those days where the news moved fast in every direction at once. Wars got hotter, trade fights got pricier, and Apple finally did the thing everyone expected for years. Here’s the day in ten stories.

1. US forces sink five Iranian oil tankers, and Iran fires missiles at a US base in Jordan. This is the sharpest exchange yet between the two countries, and it’s a big reason oil prices are spiking.
2. The UK, France, and Canada move to ban trade from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. A dozen countries are now restricting settlement goods, and Israel is already retaliating against Britain specifically.
3. Canada’s $27.6 billion in retaliatory tariffs on US goods take effect. The trade fight between the two allies just got a lot more expensive for shoppers and manufacturers on both sides of the border.
4. Wall Street slides as oil surges past $100 a barrel. Rising oil, rattled nerves over Iran, and the Canada trade spat all piled up to make it a rough day for stocks.
5. Apple unveils its first foldable iPhone, the Duo. It’s the biggest redesign of the iPhone in almost twenty years, and new CEO John Ternus chose it to headline his first product launch.
6. OpenAI rolls out GPT-6 Astra, its first model built to operate a computer on its own. Rather than just answering questions, this one can click around your screen and carry out multi-step jobs without much hand-holding.
7. Republicans kick off an unprecedented midterm convention in Dallas. No party has ever held a midterm convention before, and this one is built entirely around firing up voters ahead of November.
8. A National Guard member is arrested in DC after allegedly pulling a gun over a haircut dispute. It’s a strange, unsettling footnote to the bigger debate over troops patrolling the capital.
9. Mars has a hidden heat divide, and half of it may be molten. The discovery could finally explain why the planet’s two hemispheres look and behave so differently from each other.
10. Scientists find a bacteria enzyme that breaks down both plastic and penicillin. It’s an early discovery, but it hints at one small tool that could help with plastic pollution and antibiotic resistance at the same time.
