U.N. Probe Says U.S. Airstrikes in Iran May Be War Crimes

The Federal Reserve’s latest interest-rate increase is expected to affect borrowing costs, consumer spending and the broader U.S. economy. President Trump said the United States and Denmark reached an agreement to expand the U.S. military presence in Greenland after months of tensions over the island, while Russia held its first nationwide parliamentary elections since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A U.N. investigation concluded that two U.S. airstrikes in Iran that killed at least 178 civilians, including many children, may have been indiscriminate attacks and war crimes, while also documenting abuses by Iranian authorities. Russia and China separately vetoed a U.S. effort to renew U.N. monitoring of Iran’s nuclear sanctions, and Canada’s prime minister promoted proposed associate membership in the European Union as a way to strengthen the country’s sovereignty and ties with the United States.
