Iran says it's in the final stage of drafting an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, while two Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, said an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, which lies on the other side of the waterway, is in the “final stage” of drafting. Speaking Wednesday, he said a joint statement will be issued “if certain parties do not obstruct this process,” apparently referring to the U.S. The agreement is likely to be contingent on the U.S. lifting its blockade on Iran’s ports. The strait is crucial to global shipping and energy supplies. Before the war, which began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in February, about one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas passed through the waterway at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. On Thursday, all eyes were on the U.S. for the next development.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Crews have taken advantage of cooler weather to begin getting a handle on wildfires that have displaced tens of thousands of people around Washington state’s second-largest city, but hotter, drier and windier days lie ahead. Officials reported Wednesday that firefighters had established containment lines around the perimeters of all three fires and that they were focused on reinforcing those lines. Authorities say one of the fires was deliberately set by a man who has been arrested and charged with arson. Together the three have destroyed at least about 850 buildings and forced the evacuation of around 67,000 people since they erupted last weekend.

A Senate committee has voted along party lines to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right and declined to answer questions during a hearing on the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The vote refers the matter to the Justice Department for possible investigation into whether Fauci properly asserted his constitutional protections. Any decision to investigate or prosecute now rests with federal prosecutors, and a congressional referral does not require the Justice Department to take action. Democrats have questioned whether the referral is legally valid without a vote of the full Senate, setting up a likely legal and political battle over the next steps.

Tennessee voters are heading to the polls under a newly redrawn congressional map that significantly reshaped the state's districts, including a formerly Democratic-leaning district centered on Memphis. The Republican-led redistricting effort, backed by President Donald Trump, was approved after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened key Voting Rights Act protections. Republicans say the new map will better reflect the state's electorate, while critics argue it dilutes the voting power of Memphis residents. The primary will determine nominees in several closely watched races as Republicans seek to maintain their majority in the U.S. House in November.

New Mexico has filed a federal lawsuit against the Justice Department and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing the federal government of blocking the state's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex crimes at his New Mexico ranch. State Attorney General Raúl Torrez says the Justice Department has repeatedly refused to provide investigative records that could help determine whether additional criminal charges are possible. The lawsuit argues New Mexico remains one of the few jurisdictions that could still pursue cases involving Epstein's alleged associates. The Justice Department says it is withholding certain records to protect victims' identities and comply with federal court orders, but says it remains willing to assist the state's investigation within those legal limits.

Larry Elder discusses the growing preference among Democrats for a socialist president by 2028, expressing shock at the apparent lack of understanding regarding the history and consequences of socialism. He criticizes the left-wing policies that have led to high living costs, particularly in California, where home prices are twice the national average due to restrictive building regulations and environmental policies. Elder highlights the negative effects of these policies on homelessness, income inequality, and educational outcomes. He argues that despite these issues, Democrats continue to push for more extreme policies, such as reparations and expanded healthcare for illegal immigrants, with little regard for the consequences. Elder concludes by pointing out that many of these policies have already been implemented in California, with detrimental results.
