Qatar’s back in mediation amid rising regional tensions, sparking fears in Lebanon as US-Iran talks loom. Meanwhile, global shipping routes may soon shift to maritime service fees instead of tolls — a quiet but major change. Tragedy struck when a B-52 bomber crashed, killing eight service members, as investigators dig into the cause. On a high note, the Knicks just won their first championship in decades — a historic moment for fans and the city alike. From diplomacy to disaster to drama, the world’s spinning faster than ever.
