American military forces carried out strikes on an Iranian island abutting the Strait of Hormuz in response to attempted Iranian drone and missile attacks, the latest clash between the two countries as President Trump pushes to strike a longer-term agreement with Iran.

U.S. Central Command said in a statement Tuesday it shot down three Iranian drones that targeted civilian mariners. Iran also launched ballistic missiles at U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf region that "all failed to hit their intended targets," according to CENTCOM, including three missiles that were fired at Bahrain but were shot down by air defenses, and two missiles that "fell short or broke apart enroute" before hitting Kuwait.

In response, CENTCOM said it carried out "self-defense strikes" at a ground control station on Iran's Qeshm Island.

American motorists would face pain at the pump for months even if the U.S. and Iran strike a peace deal and move quickly to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to energy experts.

"It is all contingent on when boats start moving through the Strait of Hormuz," GasBuddy petroleum expert Patrick De Haan told CBS News. "If and when that happens, it will be a very long, multi-month to multi-year process for things to fully normalize."

Across the U.S., a gallon of regular gas on Tuesday sold for an average of $4.29, down from more than $4.50 in May, according to AAA. Gas averaged $2.98 a gallon just before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran at the end of February.

"We won't see those levels until potentially mid-to-late 2027," De Haan predicted, referring to pre-war fuel prices.

Six players in their 40s have been named to squads, but Ronaldo isn't the oldest




As Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Guilerrmo Ochoa gear up for their record sixth trip, it may seem like the 2026 World Cup is set to be the oldest in history, and that assessment would be correct. Ronaldo and Ochoa are set to accomplish this feat in their 40s, while Messi is only 38, which is quite young by the standards that this World Cup is about to set. In history, only seven players 40 or older have ever stepped on the pitch during a World Cup, and while Essam El Hadary's record of being the oldest player to feature at the World Cup in 2018 at 45 years, 161 days old, this tournament could see a record eight players 40 or older take the pitch.

Never has there been a World Cup with more than one 40-year-old playing, and with Uruguay's Fernando Muslera celebrating his 40th...More

What is Stephen Colbert up to next?

The “Late Show” host has only been off the air for a little more than a week and already speculation is rampant about his next move. The day after the final episode of his CBS talk show, Colbert took over a community access program in Michigan called “Only in Monroe,” where he talked up local eateries and made peanut butter, potato chip and BBQ sandwiches with Jeff Daniels.

“It’s been an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV, so I am grateful to be able to be here on Monroe Community Media before they also get acquired by Paramount,” Colbert said to the audience of...More

A fugitive who stole a college graduate's identity and proceeded to use it for more than 40 years as a way to avoid arrest on an attempted murder charge has now pleaded guilty to fraud, among other charges, federal authorities said.

Stephen Craig Campbell, 73, took on the identity of an Arkansas man named Walter Lee Coffman, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for New Mexico, where Campbell was arrested last year. Coffman had recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with an engineering degree when he died in a car accident in 1975, at just 22, the U.S. attorney's office said.

After remaining on the U.S. Marshals' "Most Wanted" list for four decades, for an attempted murder in Wyoming in the early '80s, Campbell was found and arrested on Feb. 19, 2025. He has pleaded guilty to misuse of a passport, possession of false papers to defraud the U.S., aggravated identity...More

The United Nations' World Health Organization significantly scaled back on Tuesday the number of suspected Ebola cases in central Africa, lowering it to 116 from more than 900, with 330 total cases confirmed.

The WHO said that as of May 31, there were 116 suspected cases of the deadly virus registered in Democratic Republic of Congo — a massive reduction from the 906 that had been on the books late last week.

In total, there were 321 cases confirmed in the DRC, including 48 people who had died, while neighboring Uganda had nine confirmed cases, including one...More

Eight bottles of a legendary French wine that survived World War II and decades of communist rule hidden under a Czech castle floor have been lovingly restored by the chateau that produced them some 130 years ago.

The bottles of Chateau d'Yquem — one of the world's most expensive, highly prized sweet white wines — are a part of a collection of 136 bottles discovered at the western Czech castle of Becov nad Teplou in the 1980s, slated to go on display in the future.

The collection once belonged to the noble Beaufort-Spontin family, who left the old Czechoslovakia hastily at the end of the war when they were...More

Remote work, once seen largely as a pandemic-era perk, is hurting young workers' employment prospects, economists say.

Work-from-home arrangements account for 64% of the jump in unemployment among young college graduates since the pandemic, according to new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It's harder for managers to train and mentor young workers when they aren't physically in the same space, the study found.

"Accordingly, companies may be reluctant to hire less-experienced workers in distributed work arrangements," Fed research economist Natalia Emanual wrote in a blog post.

"Employers may not want to hire fresh graduates onto distributed teams because it is more difficult to teach them the requisite skills from afar," she added.

From 2017 to 2019, the average unemployment rate for college grads under 29 years old was 3.1%. By...More
