What to know about the Iran war today:
o Iran has offered a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping if the U.S. drops its military blockade of Iranian ports and vessels, sources tell CBS News. But the offer apparently includes no concessions on Iran's nuclear program, which President Trump has insisted must be dismantled as part of any agreement to end the two-month war.

o Hezbollah's leader has flatly rejected the U.S.-brokered negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, "and their outcomes," raising new doubt over the tenuous ceasefire in the parallel war and further complicating prospects for a U.S.-Iran deal.

o Mr. Trump abruptly called off plans over the weekend to send senior envoys to Pakistan for a second round of direct talks with Iranian officials, insisting his administration has "all the cards" and if Tehran wants "to talk, they can come to us, or...More

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 widespread consequences for Americans as they fuel their cars and book travel. As of midday Friday, Brent crude, the international benchmark, was trading at $105 a barrel, up 44% since before the war...More

No one's doubting the Dodgers but it's time to tip our cap to the red-hot Braves


Keytron Jordan, CBS Sports

The two-time defending champion Dodgers are a great team. They remain a decent bet to win the World Series and have been one of the best teams in baseball all season. I'm sure there will be people out there arguing against this move and it's totally fair to believe it shouldn't happen, but I'm pulling the trigger.

The Dodgers are not the No. 1 team in the Power Rankings this week.

That honor has been stolen by the Atlanta Braves.

What a difference a year makes, huh? The 2025 Braves were arguably the most disappointing team in baseball, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017 and finishing 10 games under .500. This time around, they look a lot more like the version we saw win the World Series in 2021...More

Adam Scott already knows the ending of “Severance.”

“Oh, yes. I’m an executive producer on the show, so I’m involved in all of it. We talk with the writers and Dan [Erickson] all the time. I know everything about what’s going on. [As an actor] I like having as much information as possible.”

Just like the whole world, he’s more than ready for Season 3.

“It’s going to be great. There are so many surprises. I can’t wait to shoot it,” he said. As previously announced, Ben Stiller won’t be directing this time.

“Ben is still very involved in the show. It’s going to be great. You know, it’s been over two years since we finished shooting Season 2. We’re all anxious to get back. We miss each other.”

Scott, who will be receiving the...More

Twenty-two Sri Lankan monks returning from Thailand were arrested on Sunday at the main international airport with a record 242 pounds of powerful cannabis, officials said.

A Sri Lanka Customs spokesman said the group, returning home after a four-day vacation in the Thai capital, had Kush -- a potent, plant-based strain of cannabis -- hidden in their luggage.

"Each carried about five kilos of the narcotic concealed within false walls in their luggage," the spokesman said, adding that the monks had been handed over to police.

They were to be taken before a magistrate later on Sunday.

The monks were mostly young students from temples...More

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was treated for early-stage prostate cancer 18 months ago, he revealed Friday, saying he delayed making the news public so Iran would not use it as "propaganda against Israel."

In a post on X, Netanyahu said he had an early-stage malign tumor — "a tiny spot of less than a centimeter" — that was successfully removed a year and a half ago, and that he is now in "excellent physical condition."

His annual medical report was due to be published two months ago, he added, but he "requested a delay" to prevent Iran from spreading "even more false propaganda against Israel."

Are prediction markets safe places for news junkies to bet on events - or dens of insider trading?

A lot is at stake as states vow to heavily regulate or even ban what they view as illegal gambling operations. Even the Trump family could be impacted as it lays plans to open its own prediction market.

Just how fair prediction markets are now depends partly on the trading venue. They all have different internal policies and different rules, though recent headlines suggest they're all going through adolescent growing pains - and the adults are worried.

Part of the problem is no one on the outside can tell who exactly is placing the winning bets, fueling suspicion some...More

King Charles III and Queen Camilla are arriving in the U.S. on Monday for their first visit as monarchs. The trip, marking the 250th anniversary of signing of the Declaration of Independence, comes at a fraught time for the U.S.-U.K. relationship.

It's not clear how their plans may be affected by additional security considerations after Saturday night's attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner where the president, vice president and Cabinet members were in attendance.

In a statement Sunday, the palace confirmed that the visit "will proceed as planned," adding, "The King and Queen are most grateful to all those who have worked at pace to ensure this...More
