Gas prices could soon breach $5 a gallon if Strait of Hormuz remains shut, J.P. Morgan analysts say Gasoline prices in the U.S., which have risen $1.16 a gallon since the start of the Iran war in February, could top $5 a gallon as soon as later this month if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed through mid-April, according to J.P. Morgan energy analysts. Higher prices at the pump could also consume "much or all" of the larger tax refunds many Americans were expected to receive this year because of the Republican-backed tax and spending bill passed in 2025, they note. "Every 10¢ rise in the average price of regular gasoline this year would add just over another $12 [billiion] to the annual outlays for gasoline," J.P. Morgan said in a note to clients.

This season, six of those 10 teams will be in either the Play-In Tournament or the playoffs proper: the Charlotte Hornets, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors.

Vance says "ceasefires are always messy" and U.S. "never indicated" Lebanon would be included in deal with Iran Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday said "ceasefires are always messy," and responded to claims by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf that the U.S. has violated three clauses of the ceasefire agreement in its war with Iran. The U.S. never promised Lebanon would be included in the ceasefire agreement, Vance said, despite Iran's claims it was, chalking that up to a "reasonable misunderstanding" between the parties. Vance said he's not confident in how well Ghalibaf understands English, "because there are things that he said, frankly, that didn't make sense in the context of negotiations that we've had."

Not only was it the hottest March on record for the U.S., but the amount it was above normal by beat any other month in history for the Lower 48 states.

Iran has already hanged seven people in connection with the protests, which activists say were put down in a crackdown that killed thousands and led to tens of thousands of arrests. Rights groups accuse the Islamic Republic of using the death penalty as a tool of repression to instill fear in society, and fear it will ramp up capital punishment in the wake of the war against Israel and the United States. The four were sentenced to death by a Tehran Revolutionary Court presided...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

One Republican voted with nearly all Democrats, just shy of the support it needed for passage.

Airlines cut routes in response to rising jet fuel costs amid Iran war Airlines are cutting routes this summer as they face rising jet fuel costs amid the Iran war. Air Canada, Delta, and other airlines said Friday that certain routes will be impacted.

"Jet fuel is a huge cost for airlines, especially on longer-haul flights." Airlines pre-sold tickets based on expectations that fuel costs would remain relatively stable. Rooney expects them to cancel some flights based on rising fuel costs. Jet fuel prices have doubled since the war began on Feb. 28, raising costs for airlines.

Hungary drops veto, clearing path for $106 billion EU loan to Ukraine The European Union issued preliminary approval on a $106 billion loan for Ukraine Wednesday, after Hungary lifted its months-long veto on the funds. Most of the funding will go toward Ukraine's defense sector, which officials in Kyiv say is central to Europe's long-term security. The move may also signal a more constructive relationship with the bloc following the ouster of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán earlier this month. The loan, originally introduced in December, had been held up by a dispute between Hungary and Ukraine over an oil pipeline that runs through Ukrainian territory.

In fact, she was the victim of a horrendous one. In 2022, Ramos was sexually assaulted by a group of men, which compounded her existing mental struggles and led to at least two suicide attempts. One of the attempts left her with permanent injury and constant pain. Eventually, she appealed to die by euthanasia, which had been legalized in Spain in 2021. For two years, her parents tried to save her with the help of a Christian law group. In the end, the government and medical authorities determined her life was not worth living.

For decades, the U.S. and the U.K. have enjoyed what Winston Churchill called a "special relationship."

In 8 weeks, the Iran war has dented the U.S. economy. The damage could linger, economists say. In the eight weeks since the Iran war started, the conflict has driven gas prices above $4 a gallon, strained homebuyers and pushed inflation to its highest level in nearly two years. Even if the war ends soon, Americans are likely to feel the financial sting for months, economists say. "I think the damage has already been done, in part because there's no going back on oil prices, at least not any time in the near future," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told CBS News. The war has disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway through which one-fifth of the world's oil supply normally flows. Oil prices have jumped as a result, creating...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

United Arab Emirates says it will permanently leave OPEC on May 1 The United Arab Emirates said on Tuesday that it is leaving the OPEC oil cartel after more than 50 years of membership. The UAE said its decision to exit OPEC followed an "extensive review" of its production policy and future capacity. The statement also cited "geopolitical fluctuations" affecting short-term oil supplies, a reference to the Iran war. The conflict has caused oil prices to surge as the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world's oil supply normally flows daily, remains blocked. There has been speculation about whether the UAE would continue to participate in OPEC, given the country's desire to increase oil production, according to Capital Economics.

How a whiffed NFL field goal helped save this Kentucky Derby horse expert's life When former New York Giants' placekicker Younghoe Koo completely missed the ball on a field goal attempt against the New England Patriots last December, the broadcasters weren't the only ones laughing. Mark Toothaker, a stallion sales manager for Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, was on the couch cracking up with his wife, Malory, about the whiffed field goal and consequential turnover. Then, he felt something strange. "I felt a shock in my left arm, and then I never felt anything else. Had no pain, anything after that," Toothaker said. He didn't wake up for 25 minutes and was told at the hospital that he suffered a seizure. Doctors...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The move comes amid pressure on the health insurance industry to limit prior authorizations, the process by which health care providers such as doctors or hospitals obtain approval from patients' insurance carriers to deliver care. Prior authorizations have long drawn criticism for the time they require of physicians' offices and for hindering patients' access to care, with the American Medical Association finding that such offices spend an average of 12...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Trump promised cheaper drugs. Some prices dropped. Many others shot up. Since his second term started, President Trump has announced, negotiated, or floated a flurry of initiatives aimed at taming the excesses of the pharmaceutical industry. No surprise. About 60% of American adults are "worried about being able to afford prescription drug costs for themselves or their families," a recent KFF nationwide poll showed. More than 80% consider the price of prescription drugs "unreasonable," and most support increased regulation to lower costs. Americans pay about three times as much as people in other countries for the same prescription drugs. Last July, Trump sent letters to 17 drugmakers, demanding they voluntarily lower drug prices. Then the president said he'd negotiated...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Trump says Iran's government is in a "state of collapse," but analysts see evolution, not fractures A man walks past a large banner depicting Iran's current supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and his predecessor and late father Ali Khamenei along a street in Tehran on May 6, 2026. AFP via Getty Images President Trump has said "infighting and confusion" within Iran's ruling regime is partly why it's been so difficult to strike a deal to end the war launched by the U.S. and Israel on Feb. 28. Analysts tell CBS News, however, that while power structures are shifting, there's little evidence of divisions hampering Iran's leadership, and Mr. Trump's rhetoric may be more an effort to find a scapegoat as the White House grapples to present its own policy...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
