The six-month mark of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran is arriving with new emphasis on economic pressure. President Donald Trump earlier suggested the conflict would end quickly, but now says he is “not in a hurry” to return Iran to negotiations, while saying Iran’s leadership, military and economy have been devastated. Mediators including Qatar and Pakistan continue diplomatic efforts. Analysts say Iran has shown resilience to international pressure and it remains unclear how far the U.S. will go with its strategy. In Nepal, search and rescue operations for flash-flood victims continued into the fourth day, despite poor weather limiting aerial work; more than 600 died and about 3,000 are missing. In New York, Seneca Nation leaders criticized Trump’s executive order renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake America.”
