Ibrahim was unjustly imprisoned and sentenced to death in Sudan in 2014, in a case centered on her Christian faith, until she was released that same year following a global outcry.

I was a child during the Vietnam War, and it was impossible to miss antiwar protests.
I remember a common sentiment best expressed by Senator George McGovern:
“I’m tired of old men dreaming up wars for young men to fight.”

Opinion | The Old Man Dreaming Up Wars for Young Men to Fight
Any deal with Iran would probably be a bad one. But sending ground troops to seize Iranian territory would be an even worse choice.

How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran
In a series of Situation Room meetings, President Trump weighed his instincts against the deep concerns of his vice president and a pessimistic intelligence assessment. Here’s the inside story of how he made the fateful decision.

Amid concerns that Iran plans to choke off the world’s access to oil,
the U.S. military said Tuesday that its forces had attacked 16 Iranian #mine-laying vessels near a major oil route.
The U.S. Central Command said on social media Tuesday evening that it had struck the vessels near the Strait of Hormuz.
A video accompanying the post showed munitions hitting nine vessels, most of which were …

Google the price of oil, and you’ll most likely find two widely quoted prices for the commodity, one in the United States, the other in Europe.
These prices, which are constantly changing on electronic markets, suggest that although the war with Iran has made energy a lot more expensive, things are not nearly as bad as they were four years ago, after Russia invaded Ukraine.
But if you needed an actual tanker full of oil — and quickly — it would cost you dearly.
On Tuesday, …

Iran War Drives Deeper Oil Shock Than Prices Reveal
The war with Iran is preventing huge amounts of oil from flowing out of the Persian Gulf, but the prices that many people track don’t fully capture the scale of the disruption.

Mr. Wright, the energy secretary, caused a market commotion Tuesday
when he posted on social media that the Navy had successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.
His post drove up stocks and reassured oil markets.
Then, when he deleted the post after administration officials said no escorts had taken place, markets were once again thrust into turmoil.
Efforts to resume shipments have been complicated by intelligence that Iran was preparing to la…

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War
In the lead-up to the U.S.-Israeli attack, President Trump downplayed the risks to the energy markets as a short-term concern that should not overshadow the mission to decapitate the Iranian regime.

After Trump administration officials gave a closed-door briefing to lawmakers on Tuesday,
Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, said on social media that the administration had “NO PLAN” for the Strait of Hormuz
and did “not know how to get it safely back open.”
Inside the administration, some officials are growing pessimistic about the lack of a clear strategy to finish the war.
But they have been careful not to express that directly to the presiden…
