Here's the latest
• Strait of Hormuz: US President Donald Trump criticized allies who have rebuffed his demands to assist the US in fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz, as administration officials work to rally support for a coalition. No countries have yet committed to sending warships to the key waterway, which Iran claims is operating under “special conditions.”
• Oil prices spike: EU energy ministers are meeting today to discuss how to curb rising energy costs. The price of oil yesterday rose to its highest level since July 2022. US gas prices are now at their highest since October 2023, with diesel just shy of $5 a gallon.
• Across the region: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused neighboring countries that host US bases of enabling attacks on Iran. Meanwhile, Israel says it is expanding “limited” ground operations in Lebanon, where more than a million people have been internally displaced.

Four people were injured in northern Israel after Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets and drones on Monday afternoon, according to Israel’s emergency response service Magen David Adom (MDA).
At least one projectile hit the town of Nahariyya on Israel’s coast, just a few kilometers south of the border with Lebanon. Video from MDA showed flames coming from a heavily damaged building and a destroyed car. Three people were taken to the hospital after suffering from smoke inhalation, MDA said.
The Israeli military said the damage was likely the result of a direct hit, not a failed interceptor missile that crashed back down to earth.
At a separate scene, one man in his 40s was in mild to moderate condition as a result of the blast, MDA said.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack. The Iran-backed militant group said in a statement that they launched rockets and drones at Nahariyya.
Israel’s Home Front Command responded to provide assistance to civilians, the military said.
