US shifting Middle East military assets after Israel attacks Iran
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is shifting military resources, including ships, in the Middle East in response to Israel's strikes on Iran and a possible retaliatory attack by Tehran, two U.S. officials said Friday. The Navy has directed the destroyer USS Thomas Hudner to begin sailing toward the Eastern Mediterranean and has directed a second destroyer to begin moving forward, so it can be available if requested by the White House. President Donald Trump is meeting with his National Security Council principals to discuss the situation. The two U.S. officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. The forces in the region have been taking precautionary measures for days, including having military dependents voluntarily depart regional bases, in anticipation of the strikes and to protect those personnel in case of a large-scale response from Tehran. There are typically around 30,000 troops based in the Middle East. However, that number surged as high as 43,000 last October amid the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran as well as continuous attacks on commercial and military ships in the Red Sea by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. The Hudner is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer that is capable of defending against ballistic missiles. On Oct. 1, 2024, U.S. Navy destroyers fired about a dozen interceptors in defense of Israel as the country came under attack by more than 200 missiles fired by Iran.

Tesla US registrations slide 16% in April, new data shows
New data shows Tesla's (TSLA) sales declines that were seen abroad have hit the US market as well. S&P Global Mobility (via Automotive News) reports that Tesla EV registrations (a proxy for sales) for April dropped 16% to 39,913 registrations. Meanwhile, General Motors' (GM) Chevrolet saw a 215% jump in EV registrations to finish in the second spot, with Ford (F) slipping to third place as sales fell 33%. Overall EV registrations fell 4.4% in April compared to a year ago, the first year-over-year decline since February 2024, per S&P Global Mobility data. EV market share in April fell to 6.6% from 7.4% a year ago. Every Tesla electric vehicle model saw a sales drop in April except for the Model 3 sedan. Following Q2 earnings, Tesla said the switchover to the new Model Y SUV led to a production shutdown at its factories around the globe, hurting production. Nevertheless, Tesla's sales drop in April reflects a recent worrying pattern for the company seen in European sales data. Per the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), Tesla EV registrations in Europe fell a whopping 49% in April compared to a year ago, to 14,228. Earlier this month, data from France's PFA national auto lobby reported new Tesla registrations dropped 67% in May to 721 units, with overall sales down 47% year to date. Mobility Sweden reported Tesla EV registrations tumbled 53.7% to 503 units in the country in May from a year earlier. Demand weakness in the EU and recent protests at US Tesla showrooms follow CEO Elon Musk's foray into politics, causing some Tesla owners to become alienated by Musk, specifically by his right-leaning tendencies, leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and outward support of President Trump. In the US, concerns over the loss of federal EV tax credits (among other issues) led CEO Elon Musk to wage a surprising war of words with President Trump, which has only recently begun to cool off. While tensions appear to be waning, Musk and Tesla now have to deal with the potential brand hit Tesla took because of Musk's support for Trump and now backlash from the right due to his attack on the Trump-backed budget bill. Tesla's brand issues do not include the actual competitive threats Tesla is facing from legacy automakers too. Chevrolet, with its Equinox EV and Blazer EV, is taking market share, and GM's Cadillac brand has popular luxury EVs like the Lyriq and Optiq, which boosted registrations by 104% compared to a year ago in April.

This could be, in part, why Tesla late Thursday night revealed refreshed versions of its higher-end Model S sedan and Model X SUV to better compete in the luxury segment. New styling, improved range, and improved suspension tuning are among the major changes for both vehicles. Pras Subramanian is the lead auto reporter for Yahoo Finance.

Iran vows new uranium enrichment facility after watchdog determines noncompliance
Iran announced Thursday it will launch a new uranium enrichment facility after the United Nations nuclear watchdog determined the country was not in compliance with its nuclear obligations. The Iranian government issued a statement calling the resolution 'politically motivated' and biased and saying it 'has no choice but to respond.' 'Accordingly, the President of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has issued necessary directives for launching a new enrichment facility in a secure location,' reads a joint statement from Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its Atomic Energy Organization. The statement indicated that directives were also issued to replace the 'first-generation centrifuges at the Martyr Ali Mohammadi (Fordo) enrichment center with advanced sixth-generation machines.' 'Additional measures are also being planned and will be announced in due course,' officials added. The move comes amid escalating tensions in the region — and as U.S. officials have started moving out nonessential personnel from embassies and locations across the Middle East. In Israel, U.S. embassies have instructed personnel to avoid traveling outside of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or Be'er Sheva until further notice. The announcement also comes ahead of the next round of nuclear talks between Iran and the U.S. in Oman on Sunday. President Trump has warned of a potential airstrike on Iran's nuclear facilities if the parties don't reach a new deal. France, the U.K., Germany and the U.S. put forward the resolution, which was adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) board. According to The Associated Press, 19 countries voted for the resolution, 11 abstained and two did not vote. Three opposed the resolution: Russia, China and Burkina Faso. A draft of the request, seen by the AP, asked Iran to answer a series of questions 'without delay' in an investigation into traces of uranium discovered at locations that Iran did not declare as nuclear sites. Under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran is obligated to declare all of its nuclear material and activities and allow IAEA inspectors to verify that none of the material is being diverted from peaceful uses. 'Iran's many failures to uphold its obligations since 2019 to provide the Agency with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations in Iran … constitutes non-compliance with its obligations under its Safeguards Agreement,' the draft resolution read, as reported by the AP.
