DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran has created a government agency to control and tax vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. That's according to the shipping data company Lloyd's List Intelligence, which reported the move Thursday. The Iranian effort to formalize control over the channel raised new concerns about international shipping as hundreds of commercial ships remained bottled up in the Persian Gulf, unable to reach the open sea. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed Middle East peace efforts at the Vatican with Pope Leo XIV, whose opposition to the Iran war has led to open sparring with President Donald Trump.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed “efforts to achieve a durable peace in the Middle East” in talks at the Vatican aimed at easing tensions following U.S. President Donald Trump’s criticisms of Pope Leo XIV. Rubio met with Leo and then Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin on Thursday in a visit that lasted 2.5 hours. Also, Iran said it was reviewing the latest American proposals on ending the war, as Trump threatened the country with a new wave of bombing unless a deal is reached that includes reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. The developments followed days of mixed messaging from the Trump administration over its strategy to end the war.

The New York Times is facing a federal discrimination lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which claims the newspaper passed over a white male employee for a promotion in favor of a less qualified woman to meet diversity goals. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a Times editor who alleged he was denied the role of deputy real estate editor in 2025 because of his race and gender. According to the complaint, the E-E-O-C argues the newspaper engaged in unlawful discrimination by favoring a female candidate as part of broader diversity initiatives. The New York Times strongly denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit politically motivated and saying the company plans to defend itself vigorously in court. The case comes as the Trump administration continues increasing scrutiny of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies at major institutions and corporations across the country.

A judge has released a note tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s first suspected suicide attempt while he was being held in a New York jail. The document was provided by Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, who claimed he discovered the note after the incident. The note had remained sealed in a courthouse vault for nearly five years as part of an unrelated legal dispute. Among the contents is the phrase “time to say goodbye,” though officials say it remains unclear who actually wrote the note. Tartaglione, a former police officer serving a life sentence for killing four people, said he turned the document over to investigators after Epstein’s first reported suicide attempt in 2019. The note was not referenced in extensive government reviews examining the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death.

Iran says it is reviewing a new U.S. proposal aimed at ending the ongoing war, as President Donald Trump warns Tehran could face intensified bombing if no agreement is reached. The conflict has already disrupted global oil markets after the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical shipping routes for oil — was shut down amid escalating tensions. On Wednesday, the United States fired on an Iranian tanker accused of attempting to break an American blockade on Iranian ports. Trump said Iranian officials appear interested in reaching a deal, but warned military action would increase if negotiations fail. Officials in Pakistan, which hosted recent talks between the two sides, say they believe an agreement could come soon despite last month’s negotiations ending without a breakthrough.

A cruise ship connected to a deadly hantavirus outbreak is heading to Spain’s Canary Islands after three passengers were evacuated for medical treatment. According to the World Health Organization, eight cases have been identified so far, including three deaths. Two patients diagnosed with hantavirus and another suspected case were transported for treatment after the ship departed from Cape Verde. Health officials investigating the outbreak believe a Dutch couple may have contracted the virus during a bird-watching excursion before boarding the vessel. Authorities say the couple may have unknowingly brought the infection aboard, leading to additional cases among passengers. Hantavirus is a rare but potentially deadly disease typically spread through contact with infected rodents or their droppings. Officials continue to investigate the source and monitor passengers as the ship makes its way toward the Canary Islands.

DoorDash said Wednesday it expects to spend more than $50 million in the second quarter on gas price relief for its delivery drivers. The San Francisco-based company said in March that it would offer extra compensation to U.S. and Canadian drivers as part of a temporary program to offset a sharp increase in gas prices due to the Iran war. The national average for a gallon of gas on Wednesday was $4.53, up 44% from a year ago, according to AAA. DoorDash said demand for deliveries remained strong in the January-March period despite higher gas prices. Total orders rose 27% to 933 million. But that fell short of Wall Street’s forecast of 954 million, according to analysts polled by FactSet. Revenue also fell short of expectations. DoorDash said its revenue rose 33% to $4.0 billion, which was shy of the $4.15 billion analysts were forecasting. The company said the gas price relief is being funded by adjusting investments in other areas. DoorDash said in November that it would be investing heavily in new products and services this year, including the addition of restaurant reservations in its app and robot deliveries. DoorDash said its net income fell 5% to $184 million, or 42 cents per share, for the January-March period. That was partly due to a 30% increase in research and development costs compared to the same period last year. That beat analysts' forecast of a 36-cent per share profit, according to FactSet. DoorDash's shares rose more than 11% in after hours trading Wednesday.

Police say they've arrested an 18-year-old man after a weekend shooting left one woman dead and 22 other people wounded during a party beside an Oklahoma lake. Police said Jaylan A. Davis turned himself in Wednesday facing an initial charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The shooting occurred Sunday night at Arcadia Lake in the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond. Edmond Police Chief J.D. Younger said at a news conference that the charge against Davis will be upgraded to felony murder because an 18-year-old woman has died from her wounds. Police say others suffered gunshot and shrapnel wounds during the shooting. There was no immediately lawyer listed for Davis in court documents.

ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON/TEL AVIV, May 6 (Reuters) - Iran said on Wednesday it was reviewing a U.S. peace proposal that sources said would formally end the war while leaving unresolved the key U.S. demands that Iran suspend its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. An Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson cited by Iran's ISNA news agency said Tehran would convey its response. U.S. President Donald Trump said he believed Iran wanted an agreement. "They want to make a deal. We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll make a deal," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Trump had sounded more pessimistic about the chances of a deal. In a Truth Social post, he threatened to restart the U.S. bombing campaign in Iran, calling the possibility of Tehran agreeing to the latest U.S. proposal a "big assumption." Trump has repeatedly played up the prospect of an agreement that would end the war that started February 28, so far without success. The two sides remain at odds over a variety of difficult issues, such as Iran's nuclear ambitions and its control of the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war handled one-fifth of the world's oil and gas supply. A Pakistani source and another source briefed on the mediation said an agreement was close on a one-page memorandum that would formally end the conflict. That would kick off discussions to unblock shipping through the strait, lift U.S. sanctions on Iran and set curbs on Iran's nuclear programme, the sources said. It was unclear how the memorandum differs from a 14-point plan proposed by Iran last week, and Iran has yet to respond to the latest U.S. proposal. Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing an unnamed source, said the U.S. proposal contained some unacceptable provisions, without specifying which ones. Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei, a spokesperson for parliament's powerful foreign policy and national security committee, described the text as "more of an American wish-list than a reality." "The Americans will not gain anything in a war they are losing that they have not gained in face-to-face negotiations," he wrote on social media. OIL PRICES TUMBLE Reports of a possible agreement caused global oil prices to tumble to two-week lows, with benchmark Brent crude futures falling around 11% to around $98 a barrel at one point before rising back above the $100 mark. Global share prices also leapt and bond yields fell on optimism about an end to a war that has disrupted energy supplies. [O/R] [MKTS/GLOB] Trump on Tuesday paused a two-day-old naval mission to reopen the blockaded strait, citing progress in peace talks. The U.S. military has kept up its own blockade on Iranian ships in the region. U.S. Central Command said forces fired at an unladen Iranian-flagged tanker on Wednesday, disabling the vessel as it attempted to sail toward an Iranian port in violation of the blockade. NO MENTION OF KEY U.S. DEMANDS The source briefed on the mediation said the U.S. negotiations were being led by Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner. If both sides agreed on the preliminary deal, that would start the clock on 30 days of detailed negotiations to reach a full agreement. The full agreement would end the competing U.S. and Iranian blockades on the strait, lift U.S. sanctions and release frozen Iranian funds. It would also include some curbs on Iran's nuclear programme, with the aim of a pause or moratorium on Iranian enrichment of uranium. While the sources said the memorandum would not initially require concessions from either side, they did not mention several key demands Washington has made in the past, which Iran has rejected, such as curbs on Iran's missile programme and an end to its support for proxy militias in the Middle East. The sources also made no mention of Iran's existing stockpile of more than 400 kg (900 pounds) of near-weapons-grade uranium. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump's ally against Iran, said on Wednesday the two leaders agreed that all enriched uranium must be removed from Iran to prevent it from developing a nuclear bomb. Tehran denies wanting to acquire a nuclear weapon.
