California’s dream is turning into a nightmare for newcomers, ranking a dismal 48th out of 50 states in overall livability — thanks to crushing affordability, unsafe streets, and a sluggish economy.

A fragile U.S.-Iran deal meant to reopen shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is backfiring—both sides interpret a key clause wildly differently. The U.S. saw it as a demand for Iran to open the strait, while Iran views it as validation of their control, even hinting at future tolls.
