The United Arab Emirates accused Iran today of firing missiles and drones at its territory. American officials accused Iranian forces of launching cruise missiles at U.S. military ships and commercial vessels. And Army Apache helicopter gunships sank six Iranian military speedboats<\/a> in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

The attacks, the first since a cease-fire was reached on April 7, threatened to shatter the four-week truce<\/a> between the U.S. and Iran \u2014 a day after President Trump ordered the U.S. military to help ships bypass Iran\u2019s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have stalled, as both sides have drawn incompatible red lines.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear if today\u2019s attacks signaled a collapse of the cease-fire and a resumption of active warfare. Iran did not officially confirm or deny that it had resumed attacks.<\/p>\n

Supreme Court restores access to abortion pill by mail<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court issued a temporary order today restoring nationwide access to a widely used abortion medication. The decision will once again allow women to obtain the pill mifepristone by mail<\/a>, until at least May 11.<\/p>\n

The one-sentence order, signed by Justice Samuel Alito, paused Friday\u2019s lower-court ruling from the conservative Fifth Circuit appeals court, which prevented abortion providers from prescribing the pills by telemedicine and shipping them to patients. Louisiana had sued the federal government, arguing that mailed drugs had allowed abortions to continue in the state despite its near-total ban.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know about the case<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump considers vetting A.I. models before they are released<\/p>\n

In Alaska, the Army prepares for a new kind of war<\/p>\n

The Arctic is increasingly seen as a new frontier for military competition, and the Pentagon wants to be ready. Earlier this year, the Army sent 4,000 soldiers to a vast expanse of snow and ice near the Arctic Circle to take part in a training battle.<\/p>\n

Temperatures there were as low as minus 40 degrees, and the military wanted to see how well the equipment would perform. It also wanted to see how soldiers from places like Florida and Texas would manage in the brutal conditions. My colleagues were there to see it all unfold<\/a>.<\/p>\n
