Sudden Shake-Up at the Justice Department

Attorney General Pam Bondi is sworn in ahead of testifying before a House Judiciary Committee hearing on oversight of the Justice Department, on Capitol Hill. In a surprising move that has sent shockwaves through Washington, former President Donald Trump has dismissed Pam Bondi from her role as U.S. Attorney General.

Security Council Faces Tensions as Hormuz Shipping Resolution Heads to Vote

 

The United Nations Security Council is preparing to vote on a Bahrain‑backed resolution aimed at safeguarding commercial shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil transit route currently disrupted by ongoing conflict.

China has firmly opposed any authorization of force, warning that such measures could legitimize unlawful military activity and escalate regional tensions. Russia and France also broke the Council’s “silence procedure,” prompting further revisions before the text was put “in blue,” meaning it is ready for a formal vote. 

Oil prices have surged since the U.S. and Israel struck Iran in late February, effectively closing the strategic waterway and intensifying global economic pressures. Bahrain, supported by Gulf Arab states and Washington, hopes the resolution will secure at least nine votes without triggering a veto from any of the five permanent members.
