DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran said it will announce a new restricted zone in the Gulf in the coming days, along with maps of a new shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, as a weekend exchange of strikes on shipping sent oil prices higher on Monday. The new restricted zone will begin from where the U.S. blockade of Iran begins and extend into areas of the Gulf, Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said on Sunday in an interview with state TV. Few details were provided, but Rezaei said any ship entering the new zone would be added to a sanctions list.

President Donald Trump announced a lawsuit against the left-wing think tank Center for American Progress after the organization reported that National Guard deployments to several cities had no impact on crime. In a Truth Social post, Trump said a lawsuit was "being drawn now" and that he was "strongly considering adding some of the contributors to this Fake Organization," naming George Soros among CAP's funders. A CAP analysis by Chandler Hall, associate director of public safety, argued violent crime was already falling before Guard deployments and found "no evidence that National Guard deployments have reduced violent crime," warning extended deployments through end of 2026 could cost taxpayers more than $1.7 billion.
