Summary
Iran dismisses new US talks while continuing attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a bipartisan war powers resolution in Congress. The conflict drives record-high diesel prices, though Energy Secretary Chris Wright argues the cost is justified to prevent Iranian nuclear capability. The Federal Reserve meets to consider interest rates amid rising inflation, while retail sales show a 1.2% rebound. Additionally, the Charlie Kirk family files a wrongful death notice, and Canada seeks an associate membership in the EU to mitigate US tariff impacts.
