Four world-news shocks to watch today

Four big world stories hit at once, and they all point in the same direction: more pressure, less stability. Here are the 4 developments you need to know right now.

🧵 1/6

Iran-US tensions escalated again: The Guardian says Trump threatened to hit one bridge or power plant for every future attack in the Strait of Hormuz. Risky message for a chokepoint world[1].

🧵 2/6

Oil markets felt it fast: Brent climbed above $95 for the first time in six weeks, and analysts warn it could reach $120 if Hormuz exports stay shut. Fuel and inflation could be next[2].

🧵 3/6

Ukraine reset its top military command. Zelenskyy replaced army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, and the new chief says counteroffensive pressure will step up. That hints at a more aggressive phase[3].

🧵 4/6

Nicaragua’s congress moved closer to scrapping competitive elections, with a new work plan to carry out Ortega’s order. That is another sharp step toward tighter authoritarian control[4].
