Iran Adds to Pressure on U.S. With Nuclear Program Acceleration

Updated Dec. 26, 2023 6:06 pm ETIran has tripled production of nearly weapons-grade uranium in a move likely to deepen its confrontation with the West as Tehran helps allied militias to attack Israel and U.S. forces in the region. Iran’s decision to triple its production rate of near-weapons-grade uranium marks the collapse of quiet diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran to ease tensions. It comes amid a proliferation of flashpoints between the U.S. and Iran, whose proxies have repeatedly traded fire with U.S. forces in the Middle East since the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas erupted on Oct. 7. U.S. and European navies are also shooting down drones launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in the Red Sea. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 879...

Iran Adds to Pressure on U.S. With Nuclear Program Acceleration

Dec. 26, 2023 10:07 am ETIran has tripled production of nearly weapons-grade uranium in a move likely to deepen its confrontation with the West as it helps Tehran-linked militias to attack Israel and U.S. forces in the region. Iran’s decision to triple its production rate of near-weapons-grade uranium marks the collapse of quiet diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran to ease tensions.

Verano Executive Bullish on the Future of the U.S. Cannabis Industry

The past year was pivotal for the legal cannabis industry’s acceptance as a mainstream business in the U.S. The Department of Health and Human Services in August recommended to the Drug Enforcement Administration that marijuana be reclassified to a less restrictive Schedule III substance from a Schedule I substance. The Senate Banking Committee, meanwhile, in September approved the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation Banking Act, which would give cannabis businesses greater access to banking services, and it now awaits a vote on the Senate floor. And in November, Ohio became the latest state to legalize adult recreational marijuana use, bringing the total number of U.S. states that permit recreational cannabis use to 24. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

How We Deterred Iran in the Gulf Last Time

“We’re not in an armed conflict with the Houthis,” deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh recently stressed, and “part of why we are in the region is to bolster our deterrence.”Such words aren’t assuring for our Navy ships in the Red Sea, which have been fending off missiles and attack drones fired by the Iran-backed rebels for the past several months. Yes, the Navy’s boast in an Army-Navy Game day video that one of our destroyers is 22-0 against Houthi fire is impressive and a testament to the skill of our Navy crews. But if the scoreboard flips to 100-1, Americans will demand to know why Iran didn’t feel all that deterred by our naval deployments and why our sailors were injured or killed.
