Summary
The U.S. naval blockade at the Strait of Hormuz is causing major economic damage to Iran, reportedly costing about $435 million per day and cutting off much of its trade.

Meanwhile, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani continues to gain attention, though concerns about his approach and temperament are emerging over his campaign promises.
