The Strait of Hormuz has erupted into a new flashpoint as Iran and the U.S. clash over control, with Iran attacking a container ship and the U.S. declaring it now under American authority — a claim Iran fiercely rejects. Amid a fragile 60-day ceasefire negotiation, escalating attacks have reignited fears of a wider war, triggering missile alerts in Bahrain and Kuwait, downed Iranian missiles in Jordan, and casualties in Iran. The U.S. retaliates with strikes on Iranian military sites, while global powers urge restraint and freedom of navigation — but de-escalation now feels more like a distant dream.

A horrific fire at a Bangkok music bar has killed at least 27 people and left 25 critically injured, marking the deadliest blaze in the Thai capital in 17 years. Flames roared through the building, smoke billowing into the sky, while investigators focus on the stage ceiling—suspecting flammable decor or faulty wiring. Witnesses say smoke erupted from a circuit breaker before a power outage, followed by an explosion and rapid smoke buildup. Victims were trapped in windowless bathrooms near a blocked rear exit, with another possible exit near the kitchen also obstructed or locked. Families are in anguish, many unable to identify loved ones without ID. The tragedy echoes past disasters, including a 2022 fire that killed 14 and the 2009 Santika nightclub blaze that claimed 67 lives. Authorities are racing to uncover the full cause and prevent future catastrophes.

Ontario’s new colorectal cancer screening guidelines start at age 45—down from 50—effective July 1, targeting those 45 to 74 with a free at-home stool test. Abnormal results trigger a colonoscopy. This shift responds to a rising tide of early-onset cases, now as common in 45-50-year-olds as in 50-55-year-olds. Experts suspect diet and gut bacteria changes, with some patients diagnosed as young as 20. Doctors urge anyone with blood in stool or bowel changes to act fast, and those with family history to consult their provider. The move, especially impactful for those born after 1980, aims to catch cancer early, prevent thousands of cases, and ease healthcare strain.
