Ukraine strikes Russian tanker in Sea of Azov; US launches new strikes on Iran
Ukraine carried out a drone attack on a Russian tanker in the Sea of Azov, while the US launched strikes on Iran following an attack on a vessel in the Hormuz Strait. Meanwhile, EU businesses criticize the bloc's red tape simplification efforts.
Ukrainian forces have struck a Russian tanker in the Sea of Azov using a drone. The attack came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Kyiv would establish a new unit to conduct incursions deep into Russian territory.
Meanwhile, the United States has launched fresh strikes on Iran after an attack on a vessel in the Hormuz Strait. Iran retaliated with attacks on sites in Jordan, Kuwait, and Oman, further threatening the fragile ceasefire.
In the European Union, businesses that previously demanded a reduction in red tape are now expressing dissatisfaction. They say the bloc's simplification push is "drowning in the inertia" of Brussels bureaucracy.
