May 2 Afternoon Brief
In international security
The U.S. is warning European allies that weapons deliveries could be delayed after stockpiles were drained during the war in Iran. In Tehran, an Iranian general says more fighting with the United States is still possible after President Trump rejected the latest peace proposal, which is a very reassuring way to describe diplomacy.
In Gaza
Israel’s expanding “orange line” is tightening movement restrictions across Gaza and creating new no-go zones for civilians. The result is a shrinking map and a growing risk to people already trapped by the conflict.
In U.S. news
Police in Portland are investigating after a car crashed through the front entrance of the Multnomah Athletic Club, caught fire, and left one person dead inside. Investigators also found evidence of a possible explosive device, prompting a bomb squad response and FBI assistance, while nearby streets remain closed.
In Arizona, investigators still have no suspect three months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills. More than 30,000 tips have come in, but officials say few have turned into actionable leads.
In consumer safety
An arrest in Austria followed the discovery of rat poison in a jar of HiPP baby purée, triggering a recall from the manufacturer. Separately, Harley-Davidson is recalling nearly 90,000 motorcycles in the U.S. over a parts issue involving the Airbox Baseplate on certain 2024 to 2026 models.
In politics and crime
Two members of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s party in Mexico’s Sinaloa state said they would temporarily step aside after the United States charged them and eight others with drug trafficking. The U.S. case appears to be landing with the sort of force that tends to interrupt careers.
In migration
More than 300 migrants were launched in small boats from French and Belgian beaches in what appears to be an effort to evade patrols. GB News counted about 360 arrivals at Dover in a day, bringing the year’s total close to 6,800, as Britain and France keep trying the expensive version of the same experiment.
In sports
Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring twice to move them six points clear of Manchester City. West Ham, meanwhile, lost 3-0 at Brentford after hitting the woodwork four times, which is one way to stay in a relegation fight.
