Executive Summary
The U.S.–Iran war widened again Wednesday. U.S. Central Command ran a seven-hour wave of strikes overnight on Iranian missile sites, drone bases, naval assets, and coastal defenses. Iran struck back at American bases across the Gulf. Drones hit Jordan’s Al-Azraq base. Cruise missiles hit a Kuwait logistics hub. More fire hit Fifth Fleet facilities in Bahrain. The naval blockade of Iran’s ports took effect Tuesday, and President Trump dropped his earlier plan to charge a 20% Strait of Hormuz toll. Iranian fire on Gulf shipping has continued since the strait closed in late February. Brent crude held near $87 a barrel. Trump said he would spare Iran’s power plants and bridges only if Tehran negotiates.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh told the House he has “no tolerance” for high inflation as June consumer prices fell 0.4% on cheaper gasoline. The Senate held confirmation hearings for two Trump nominees — Todd Blanche for attorney general, and Jay Clayton for intelligence director, a nomination Trump himself had stalled. A Commerce official confirmed Nvidia has begun shipping H200 artificial-intelligence chips to China under license. The House voted 308–117 to make daylight saving time permanent. Wall Street’s biggest banks posted record second-quarter profits.
Trump hosted Iraq’s prime minister and announced a full U.S. troop withdrawal by September 30. Senators unveiled a revised Russia sanctions bill in the late Lindsey Graham’s name. Israel and Lebanon held a first day of direct talks in Rome. A cyclospora outbreak tied to salad greens passed 7,000 illnesses. The country meets a morning of war abroad, a central bank on the stand, and two nominees under oath — three hands on the same clock.
