Top SignalRubio Reframes Iran Mission as Hormuz Maritime Security After Combat Ends Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that U.S. military combat operations in Iran have ended and characterized ongoing U.S. and Bahraini forces in the Strait of Hormuz as a distinct maritime security mission rather than a continuation of the Iran conflict.

This is the archived digest for Tuesday, 5 May 2026. Sections that read live data rather than that day's record — markets, the chart tape, recommendations, the insurance tape, the world map, what each channel led with, federal court filings, congressional trading and the government wire — are left out here, because showing today's numbers under 2026-05-05 would misstate them.
