The United States and Iran continue to make competing claims about who has greater control of the critical Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf.

Washington claims the strait is open and that dozens of ships, carrying millions of barrels of oil, are passing through each day. US President Donald Trump claimed last month that the US was in “total control” of the waterway, through which one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas is shipped during peacetime, but which has been closed since the US-Israel war on Iran began six months ago.

I love a secret ending in a video game, especially one that allows you to essentially say "nope, I'm outta here," and abandon the main quest entirely. Even though it prevents you from actually experiencing most of the game, knowing the option is there helps me feel more immersed in the character I'm playing. It'd be a shitty thing to do, but if The Witcher 3 let Geralt ride Roach off into the sunset? You best believe I'm taking that option first then reloading an old save to continue searching for Ciri.
