As Iran Reopens Strait of Hormuz, Are U.S. & Iran Near Deal or Renewed Fighting?
President Trump on Thursday repeated his claim that a deal to end the war on Iran is "very close" and that direct talks with Iran could resume in Pakistan as soon as this weekend. Despite the claims, the Pentagon is surging thousands of additional troops to the Middle East, including an additional 6,000 sailors and aviators joining the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier battle group. Around 4,200 others with the Navy and Marines are expected to arrive near the end of the month. Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, says "we might be, at some point, returning to a hot war" because the Iranians, too, have "preserved a degree of retaliatory capacity." The main question on the negotiating table is whether the Iranians, who "have been saying for years that they don't want nuclear weapons," will curb their nuclear activity, and if so, whether the U.S. would "be willing to provide them with economic incentives and sanctions relief."

Hormuz Crisis "Only Going to Get More Horrific Before It Gets Any Better": Prof. Laleh Khalili
Amid the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, we speak with Laleh Khalili, a professor of Gulf studies who researches the shipping and logistics industry and its impact on the global economy.
The U.S. implemented a naval blockade on Iran earlier this week, which Khalili says could lead to its military "firing on ships that it assumes are Iranian or carrying oil from Iran or other cargo to Iran." Iran, in response, could "interpret this as a belligerent action," ending the fragile ceasefire agreed to by both parties. "Iran is going to defend itself against this imperial imposition, and how it's going to do that remains to be seen."

Meanwhile, explains Khalili, shipping disruptions in the Gulf have affected the supply chains of key resources including oil, aluminum, helium and fertilizer. "Transportation costs are going to be higher, so food prices are going to be higher; people's MRIs are going to be scheduled out by six months … semiconductor manufacturing is going to be affected," Khalili says. "The crisis is only going to get more horrific before it gets any better. "

"Iran Is Playing the Long Game": Prof. Vali Nasr on What to Expect from Protracted War in Middle East
In a major escalation in the war in the Middle East, Israel has bombed Iran's South Pars gas field, the largest known natural gas reserve in the world, leading Iran to attack energy sites across the Gulf. Iranian American professor of international affairs Vali Nasr says that Iran is prepared for a much longer war than the U.S. and Israel anticipated. "The longer this war goes on, the more Iran is building leverage, and the more the strategic calculations of Israel and the United States appear to be falling short," he says. Iran "thinks the longer that the war goes on, the less Israel and the United States will be able to defend against Iranian missiles, because they're going to run out of interceptors."

In the latest sign the war on Iran could be just beginning, Reuters is reporting President Trump is considering deploying thousands of more U.S. troops to the Middle East. The Pentagon has also asked for $200 billion from Congress.

The Iranian president has proposed terms for the end of the war including reparations and guarantees against future war. Nasr suggests that the Iranians are "confident" that some of their terms may be met. "President Trump may have to accept the fact that he has started a war that is not going to give him what he expected, and he has to settle for an exit in order to be able to go back to the agenda that it had before."

The Nugget Ice Trend Isn't Going Anywhere—and This Fancy Ice Maker Is a Game-Changer
MAREVGENNA/Getty. Scouted selects products independently. If you purchase something from our posts, we may earn a small commission.

I've been seeing influencers with their fancy ice makers on my For You page for what feels like forever. I was honestly skeptical about them. Sure, nugget ice feels fancy, and it's fun to have it when you're at a restaurant—but is a nugget ice machine really worth the investment, especially when my freezer makes ice for free? I wasn't sure until I tried one myself, and now I'm a full-on believer. Nugget ice at home feels fun and luxurious, and I now have major opinions on ice, which I didn't have just mere months ago. Let's break it all down.

I have a Whytner pebbled ice machine, which goes for $349 on Amazon—a fraction of the cost that some of the more popular machines go for. It's available in two colorways, and my silver and white machine looks great on my countertops. Set-up couldn't be simpler, just plug it in, fill it up and turn it on. This machine is quiet—there's no loud, continuous noise that other ice machines make and it makes ice quickly and efficiently. The ice is soft, chewable, and, yes, totally adorable.

U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Education Release Toolkit of Federal Resources to Help Rebuild Puerto Rico's School Infrastructure
*/ En español

Today, the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the U.S. Department of Education released a toolkit outlining federal resources available to help Puerto Rico recover and rebuild safe, healthy, and modernized school facilities.  The Departments of Energy and Labor, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, also collaborated on the toolkit.

The toolkit focuses on four key aspects to supplement ongoing recovery efforts in the education sector: planning and design, workforce readiness, contracting and procurement, and project review.  In addition, the document includes a directory with technical assistance opportunities and information on other funding sources from federal partners. 

"As Puerto Rico continues to rebuild, recover, and reimagine a future of security and prosperity for all of its families, DHS will be there every step of the way,"   "I encourage officials to use the resources available to them through the federal government to build safe and resilient schools for teachers and students."

"All children deserve to have the opportunity to learn and thrive in safe and functioning educational facilities,"
