Morning Brief: Iran, Trump, TSA
Iran opens Strait of Hormuz to some ships as Gulf countries face strikes, Trump's mixed messages on the war in Iran could hurt the GOP, TSA officers are receiving back pay as DHS remains unfunded.
Iran has opened the Strait of Hormuz to some ships amid strikes affecting Gulf countries. The limited reopening comes as regional tensions continue and details about which vessels are allowed and for how long remain unclear.
Former President Trump’s mixed messages on the war in Iran may hurt the GOP. Inconsistent public statements about the conflict have raised concerns about party unity and could complicate Republican messaging.
TSA officers are receiving back pay even as the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded. Retroactive payments have begun going out to staff, while the broader agency continues to operate without a finalized funding agreement.
