Oil prices jump and Dow plummets 1.8% after Israel’s attack on Iran stokes fears of wider war

A new report from the Institute for the Study of War suggests Iran’s missile attacks on Israel may be slowing down—possibly because Israel has been systematically degrading Iran’s missile stockpiles and launch capabilities. In other words, Iran might be running low on firepower, or at least struggling to use what it has left effectively.

Editor’s Note: If Iran’s missile supply is genuinely dwindling, it could shift the balance in this tense standoff. Fewer missiles mean fewer attacks—or at least less frequent ones—which might buy time for diplomacy (or give Israel more room to maneuver). But it’s also possible Iran is just regrouping, so don’t expect the broader conflict to cool off overnight. Either way, it’s a sign the shadow war between these two is getting harder for Iran to sustain.

Renault’s CEO, Luca de Meo, is reportedly stepping down to take the helm at Kering, the luxury conglomerate behind brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent. The move marks a surprising shift from the auto industry to high fashion, raising questions about Renault’s next steps and Kering’s strategy under new leadership.

Editor’s Note: Big-name CEO departures always send ripples—especially when they jump industries. For Renault, losing de Meo could mean a scramble to find a successor who can navigate the electric transition and fierce competition. For Kering, snagging a seasoned exec from outside the luxury world suggests they’re betting on fresh perspectives to shake things up. Either way, it’s a reminder that top talent rarely stays put for long.

The TSA is cracking down on a common summer item, making it clear that travelers won’t be able to bring it through airport security. While the article doesn’t specify the item, it’s likely something many people pack without thinking—like oversized sunscreen bottles or certain types of beach gear—so this heads-up could save you a hassle at the checkpoint.

Editor’s Note: If you’re planning a summer trip, this is a reminder to double-check the TSA’s ever-changing rules. Getting stopped at security is annoying, and nobody wants to surrender their favorite (but banned) item. It’s a small but frustrating part of modern travel—so pack smart!

The Trump administration has struck a deal granting the president unprecedented sway over U.S. Steel through a "golden share"—a rare arrangement typically used by governments to retain control over privatized companies. This move could set a troubling precedent for future private-sector interventions.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about steel—it’s about how much power a sitting president should have over private businesses. If this becomes a blueprint, it could blur the line between corporate independence and political influence in ways that outlast any single administration. Not exactly the free-market playbook.

Amazon has slashed the price of solar-powered pathway lights from $60 to $40, and early buyers are raving about them—describing the lights as "warm," "beautiful," and a breeze to set up.
