Small business seeks early Supreme Court review of Trump's tariffs
By Dietrich Knauth (Reuters) -A small business on Tuesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide the legality of President Donald Trump's tariffs, saying the court should take the rare step of hearing the case before appeals fully play out in lower courts. Learning Resources, which makes educational toys, challenged Trump's tariffs and won a court ruling on May 29 that Trump cannot unilaterally impose tariffs using the emergency legal authority he had cited for them. But that ruling – along with a similar ruling in another case – has been stayed while the Trump administration appeals, leaving the tariffs in place for now. The ultimate financial impact of the tariffs, which have often been changed or put on hold early in Trump's second term, remains unclear. One JPMorgan analysis said they could be viewed as raising taxes by $660 billion a year. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an April interview with Tucker Carlson that the tariffs could raise between $300 billion and $600 billion in annual revenue for the federal government. The Supreme Court should act quickly to stop U.S. businesses and consumers from being forced to pay extra for imports based on an unlawful tariff policy, Learning Resources CEO Rick Woldenberg told Reuters. 'That's a tax and it's a huge number,' Woldenberg said. 'If I go in the Supreme Court now and if they accept the case, it could save American businesses $100 billion or $150 billion just by advancing the date at which the Supreme Court will rule.' Two district courts have ruled that Trump's tariffs are not justified under the law he cited for them, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Both of those cases are on appeal, and another appeals court is weighing a more limited question of whether lawsuits against the tariffs must be filed in the New York-based federal trade court. No court has yet backed the sweeping emergency tariff authority Trump has claimed. An appeal in the Court of Appeals for Federal Circuit, seen as the leading case on tariffs, is scheduled for oral argument on July 31, while the appeal in Learning Resources' case has not set a date for argument. While the tariffs remain in effect, businesses that rely on imports are essentially being pressed into involuntary service as tax collectors for the federal government, Woldenberg said. 'They hit us with an unbearable bill and then they force us to raise our prices to collect the taxes for them,' Woldenberg said. 'This is a way to hide the fact that the federal government is imposing a $600-billion tax, a tax increase with almost no parallel in the last century." The Supreme Court rarely exercises its authority to take a case before appeals play out. But it sometimes acts quickly in cases with widespread impact, as it did when it accepted an early appeal and blocked then-President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan.

U.S. companies brace for Israel-Iran cyber spillover
As Israel and Iran exchange airstrikes, cybersecurity experts are warning that a quieter, but still destructive, digital conflict is unfolding behind the scenes. And U.S. companies could soon find themselves in the blast radius. Why it matters: Iran and Israel are home to some of the world's most skilled hackers. Escalating tensions between the two could spill over into cyberspace, potentially disrupting critical infrastructure, commercial networks and global supply chains. Driving the news: U.S. cybersecurity organizations are urging businesses to remain on high alert for possible Iranian cyberattacks on domestic infrastructure. The Food and Ag-ISAC and the IT-ISAC published a joint statement Friday urging companies to proactively bolster their defenses, noting a history of Iranian state-sponsored hackers and hacktivism targeting U.S. critical infrastructure during previous conflicts. Radware, a U.S.-based cybersecurity firm, estimated there's been a 700% increase in Iranian cyberattacks against Israeli targets since Israel launched its initial missile strike on Tehran on June 12. Threat level: The scale and nature of potential Iranian cyberattacks on American organizations will likely depend on how the U.S. responds to the broader military conflict. As of now, the Trump administration has told allies it will not intervene unless Iran directly targets Americans. But if that decision changes, Iran could redirect cyber resources toward state-sponsored ransomware campaigns or wiper malware attacks on U.S. infrastructure, Austin Warnick, director of national security intelligence at Flashpoint, told Axios. Zoom in: Gil Messing, chief of staff at Israel-based Check Point Software Technologies, told Axios that he's observed several disinformation campaigns appearing to originate from Iranian-linked actors in the days following the strikes. One such campaign involved a text message sent to thousands of Israelis warning that fuel supplies would be halted at gas stations for 24 hours. Another message falsely warned of a possible terrorist attack at a regional shelter, urging recipients to avoid the area — an apparent attempt to sow panic during missile attacks. Both messages were crafted to appear as if they came from Israel's Home Front Command, but they were fake, Messing said. He added that he's also seen lower-level cyber activity potentially linked to Iran, including DDoS attacks and phishing campaigns. What they're saying:"Their main objective is intimidation, fake news, [and] disinformation, much more than anything else," Messing told Axios. He added that much of the current Iranian cyber activity is "lower profile" — in part because Tehran appears to be focusing the bulk of its resources on physical warfare right now. The big picture: During traditional military conflicts, cyberattacks are often deployed to incite fear and confusion among civilians. More destructive operations — such as infrastructure attacks — tend to emerge only in the lead-up to major strikes or invasions, as seen before Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Messing said that's why Iran appears to be focusing on disinformation and smaller-scale attacks so far. The goal currently is to incite fear. Reality check: Israel also poses a formidable cyber threat in this conflict. However, its digital offensives are expected to remain focused on Iranian targets, Warnick said. A pro-Israel hacking group claimed responsibility for a cyberattack this morning on Iran's Bank Sepah, causing widespread outages. The group also claims it "destroyed" all of the bank's data. Israel has a long history of sophisticated cyber operations, most notably the Stuxnet attack that targeted Iran's nuclear program. Its intelligence units, particularly Unit 8200, are also known for advanced cyber espionage capabilities.
