Lebanon is still a major sticking point in the shaky ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. And there is little clarity about the Strait of Hormuz. Both the U.S. and Iran have said the passage will reopen. But there’s been very little traffic through the vital shipping route, days into the precarious two-week truce.

And: The Federal Liberals are heading into their Montreal convention with one more caucus member. It puts them just one seat away from forming a majority government.

But that new caucus member brings her own political baggage, and stirs questions about whether the party will need to adapt its policies.

A two-week ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran is under threat. Iran’s parliamentary speaker says several conditions have been violated.

Also: “Feel the burn” is a common motivational phrase when you’re working out. But sometimes that pain is a sign that something is seriously wrong. “Exercise-induced rhabdo”, as it’s known, is caused by the sudden breakdown of muscle tissue.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatens Iran with the destruction of its entire civilization.

And: The crew of the Artemis II mission had a call with astronauts on the International Space Station. The Artemis crew travelled farther into space than any other humans, and are now on their way back to Earth.

And: Trump sets a new deadline for Iran while praising the rescue mission of two U.S. aviators.

Also: Critics call them another form of online betting. But the companies behind prediction markets say they are powerful tools to predict the future. Either way, regulators are trying to keep up with the growing trend.
