Trump Claims Iran Deal as Russian Missiles Hit Kyiv, Gas Tops $4.56

Trump said a US-Iran deal is "largely negotiated, subject to finalization", the New York Times reported Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and US gas hit $4.56. Russia hit Kyiv with 90 missiles, 600 drones and an Oreshnik, damaging the Cabinet of Ministers and killing four; the EU's Kaja Kallas branded the Oreshnik use "reckless nuclear-brinkmanship" and Ukraine struck back at the Tamanneftegaz terminal. UK AISI said Claude Mythos and GPT-5.5 took over networks 60 and 30 percent of the time; WCK halved Gaza meals to 500,000 daily; and Ebola spread from Congo into Uganda.

Trump says US-Iran agreement 'largely negotiated' as Tehran backs draft plan to reopen Hormuz

President Trump said on May 24 that an agreement between the United States, Iran "and the various other countries" to end the two-month war "has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization", with the terms discussed in a "very good call" with regional leaders and separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The New York Times, citing three senior Iranian officials, reported Tehran has agreed to a draft plan to end fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement follows Trump's May 19 decision to postpone planned strikes as Gulf leaders said a deal was close, and his May 20 call with Netanyahu over a Qatar- and Pakistan-drafted peace memo.

US national average gas price hits $4.56 as Iran war strains summer travel

The national average price of gasoline in the United States rose to $4.56 a gallon on Wednesday, the highest level this year, as Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupts global energy supplies. Every state has now topped $4 a gallon, with Washington state setting an all-time record at $5.79 and Alaska averaging $5.27. The spike has become a central political issue ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, with both Democrats and Republicans criticizing the White House's handling of the crisis.

Russia struck Kyiv overnight on May 23-24 with 90 missiles and 600 drones, including an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, damaging the Cabinet of Ministers and Foreign Ministry buildings, two museums, a philharmonic hall, a theatre, a library, a university, a church, a monastery and around 30 residential buildings. Two people were killed and 81 injured in the capital; four were killed and roughly 100 injured across Ukraine, and a Hrushevskoho Street block containing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's flat was hit. The attack follows May 20 strikes that killed four across six regions and a 1,567-drone, 56-missile two-day assault on May 13-14.

Albania's ambassador was directly endangered when a weapon struck his residential complex, prompting Tirana to summon Russia's ambassador.
