周一，一架美国陆军阿帕奇直升机在霍尔木兹海峡附近坠毁，机上两名机组人员被美军首次公开确认使用的海上无人艇安全救起。美国总统特朗普指责伊朗击落了该直升机，美方官员随后证实直升机是被一架伊朗武装“见证者”无人机击中。作为回应，美军中央司令部于周二下午对伊朗南部的防空系统、地面控制站和雷达站实施了报复性打击。随后，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队对巴林、科威特和约旦境内的美军基地发射了弹道导弹和无人机进行反击，声称摧毁了包括约旦基地内F-35战机机库在内的4个目标，并击落了一架美军MQ-9无人机。美方及约旦军方则表示，绝大多数袭击已被成功拦截，未造成人员伤亡。此次冲突直接打破了美伊两国于4月刚刚宣布达成的脆弱停火协议，使中东局势再度陷入高度紧张状态。

On Monday, a US Army Apache helicopter crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, with its two crew members rescued safely in a historic operation marking the first public confirmation of US military sea drone usage. President Trump blamed Iran for the downing, and US officials later confirmed the helicopter was struck by an armed Iranian Shahed drone. In response, US Central Command launched retaliatory strikes on Tuesday afternoon against air defenses, ground control stations, and radar sites in southern Iran. The IRGC retaliated by firing ballistic missiles and drones at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, claiming to destroy four targets, including F-35 hangars in Jordan, and shoot down a US MQ-9 drone. US and Jordanian officials reported that nearly all incoming attacks were intercepted with no casualties. The escalation directly shatters a fragile ceasefire negotiated in April, dragging the region back into high tension.

在2026年6月9日举行的多州初选中，两党在数个关键摇摆和战场席位的对决正式成型。在内华达州，民主党籍州总检察长亚伦·福特与现任共和党籍州长乔·隆巴多双双顺利胜出，将在11月展开一场被评为“势均力敌”的州长对决。民主党计划将此案作为对特朗普政策的公投，而福特已获得拥有6万会员的烹饪工会的背书。在缅因州，41岁的退伍军人兼进步派民主党人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳尽管面临纳粹标志纹身、Reddit争议言论及露骨短信等一系列个人丑闻，仍赢得了约四分之三的选票，成功夺得党内提名，将对决无对手自动晋级的73岁现任共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯，这场选战将直接决定参议院微弱多数席位的归属。

In the multi-state primaries held on June 9, 2026, general election matchups for several critical swing and battleground seats were officially established. In Nevada, Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford and incumbent Republican Governor Joe Lombardo both secured nominations, setting up a "toss-up" gubernatorial race in November. Democrats plan to frame the race as a referendum on Trump's policies, with Ford backed by the powerful 60,000-member Culinary Union. In Maine, 41-year-old veteran and progressive Democrat Graham Platner secured about three-fourths of the primary vote despite facing intense scandals over a controversial tattoo, Reddit posts, and marital sexting. Platner will challenge 73-year-old incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins, who ran unopposed, in a race that could decide control of the slim Republican Senate majority.

在加利福尼亚州和南卡罗来纳州的初选中，前总统特朗普的背书再次展现了其在共和党内的决定性分量。在加州州长初选投票结束一周后，获得特朗普背书的前福克斯新闻主持人史蒂夫·希尔顿成功锁定第二名晋级决选，击败了花费超2亿美元的民主党亿万富翁汤姆·斯蒂尔，希尔顿将在11月对决得票率第一的民主党人哈维尔·贝塞拉。在南卡罗来纳州共和党州长初选中，获得特朗普临门一脚“彻底支持”的副州长帕梅拉·埃维特以29%的得票率位列第一，将与得票率26%的州总检察长艾伦·威尔逊在6月23日的决选中交锋，而同样参选但遭到特朗普冷落的共和党众议员南希·梅斯则被淘汰出局。此外，在内华达州第三国会选区，获得特朗普支持的《光环》游戏作曲家马蒂·奥唐奈也顺利赢得共和党初选，将在11月挑战民主党现任众议员苏西·李。

In the California and South Carolina primaries, former President Trump's endorsements once again demonstrated decisive weight within the Republican Party. One week after California's primary, Trump-endorsed former Fox News host Steve Hilton secured the second spot to advance to the general election, defeating billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer, who spent over $200 million. Hilton will face leading Democrat Xavier Becerra in November. In South Carolina's Republican gubernatorial primary, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, propelled by Trump's late "Complete and Total Endorsement," finished first with 29% of the vote and will face state Attorney General Alan Wilson (26%) in a June 23 runoff, while Representative Nancy Mace was eliminated after being snubbed by Trump. Additionally, in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District, Trump-backed 'Halo' composer Marty O'Donnell won the GOP primary to challenge Democratic incumbent Rep. Susie Lee in November.

现任四届共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆在周二的南卡罗来纳州初选中赢得超过半数的选票，成功击败富商马克·林奇等五位挑战者，从而避免了决选并有望在11月大选中轻松连任。为了应对林奇等对手的挑战，格雷厄姆及其盟友在竞选最后几周投入了超过1800万美元的广告资金，而林奇则自筹了500万美元。格雷厄姆获得了特朗普的强力支持，而林奇虽然得到了玛乔丽·泰勒·格林和史蒂夫·班农等“美国优先”派共和党人的公开表态支持，并猛烈抨击格雷厄姆对伊朗战争的支持，但最终未能动摇格雷厄姆在当地的深厚根基。

Four-term incumbent Republican Senator Lindsey Graham won the South Carolina Republican primary on Tuesday, securing more than half of the vote to defeat wealthy businessman Mark Lynch and four other challengers. By clearing the majority threshold, Graham avoided a runoff and is heavily favored to win reelection in November. To stave off the challenge, Graham and his allies spent over $18 million on ads, while Lynch self-funded his campaign with $5 million. Graham's victory was bolstered by strong backing from Trump, while Lynch's campaign, supported by 'America First' Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon who targeted Graham's support for the war in Iran, failed to unseat the longtime incumbent.

中国国家统计局公布的数据显示，5月份工业生产者出厂价格指数（PPI）同比上涨3.9%，超出经济学家3.8%的预期，创下2022年7月以来的最高增速。这一加速上涨主要受到中东冲突和人工智能投资热潮的推动。伊朗战争导致霍尔木兹海峡航运受阻，推高了工厂的采购成本，其中燃料和动力类购进价格同比上涨10%，非金属材料和电线价格上涨22%。此外，人工智能计算需求的增长和电气化转型也推动了有色金属、电子机械和计算机硬件价格的上涨，其中有色金属矿采选业价格同比上涨36.5%，冶炼业价格上涨24%。

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China's producer price index (PPI) rose 3.9% year-on-year in May, beating economists' forecasts of 3.8% and marking the fastest growth since July 2022. The acceleration was driven by rising raw material costs linked to the war in Iran and a boom in artificial intelligence investment. The Middle East conflict has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing up factory purchasing costs, with fuel and power prices up 10% and non-ferrous metal materials and wires up 22%. Concurrently, rising AI computing demand and electrification pushed up prices for tech equipment and metals, with non-ferrous metal mining leading gains at 36.5% and smelting up 24%.

美国总统特朗普宣布，现任联邦住房金融局（FHFA）局长比尔·普尔特将于6月19日接任代理国家情报总监（DNI），提前了其上任时间。普尔特将兼任两项职务，且特朗普表示不会提名他为需要参议院确认的正式总监。民主党人因普尔特缺乏国家安全背景以及他在住房金融局的争议性任期而强烈反对该任命。由于《外国情报监视法》（FISA）第702条的关键监视授权即将在周五到期，民主党人威胁若不撤换普尔特将让该授权失效。尽管面临危机，特朗普在与众议院议长迈克·约翰逊会面时仍表明不会撤回任命，并私下透露普尔特的短期任期旨在对情报界进行清理和重组。

President Donald Trump announced that Bill Pulte, the current head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), will begin serving as acting director of national intelligence (DNI) on June 19, accelerating the transition timeline. Pulte will retain his housing role, and Trump has stated he will not nominate him for the permanent position, which requires Senate confirmation. Democrats strongly oppose the appointment due to Pulte's lack of national security experience and his controversial tenure at the FHFA. With the critical FISA Section 702 surveillance authority set to expire on Friday, Democrats have threatened to let the power lapse unless Pulte is replaced. Despite the backlash, Trump indicated to House Speaker Mike Johnson that he will not back down, privately arguing that Pulte's short-term tenure is intended to clear out and restructure the intelligence community.

微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨将于周三在众议院监督委员会接受闭门质询。在此之前，美国司法部在针对已故性侵犯、金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的调查中公布了一批文件，其中盖茨的名字多次出现，包括会面日程记录、慈善项目邮件往来以及合影。众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默随后正式要求盖茨提供证词。为了应对此次听证会，盖茨已聘请了该委员会的前首席调查顾问杰克·格林伯格为其提供咨询。

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is scheduled to appear on Wednesday for a closed-door interview before the House Oversight Committee. The testimony was formally requested by Committee Chairman James Comer after Gates's name appeared multiple times in a trove of documents released by the Justice Department as part of its Jeffrey Epstein probe, including calendar entries, email correspondence regarding philanthropic projects, and photographs. To prepare for the questioning, Gates has retained Jake Greenberg, the committee's former top investigative counsel, to advise him.

周二，北爱尔兰贝尔法斯特爆发了暴力的反移民抗议活动，数百名抗议者在全市多个地点纵火焚烧了一辆公交车、多辆轿车和一栋建筑物，警方部署了装甲车应对骚乱。此次抗议的导火索是周一晚间在贝尔法斯特北部发生的一起持刀伤人事件，一名40多岁的男子受重伤送医，随后一名30岁的苏丹籍寻求庇护者被捕并被指控企图谋杀。英国首相基尔·斯塔默形容这起袭击“令人作呕”，英国领导人及警方呼吁各方保持冷静。警方表示，目前没有证据表明这起持刀袭击与恐怖主义有关。这起事件发生之际，英国国内正围绕移民和庇护政策展开激烈辩论，社会紧张局势也有所加剧。

On Tuesday, violent anti-immigration protests erupted across Belfast, Northern Ireland, with hundreds of protesters torching vehicles—including a bus and several cars—and setting fire to a building, prompting police to deploy armored vehicles. The unrest followed a knife attack in north Belfast late Monday that left a man in his 40s seriously injured, leading to the arrest and charging of a 30-year-old Sudanese asylum seeker with attempted murder. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the attack as "sickening," while UK leaders and police called for calm. Police stated there is currently no evidence suggesting the attack was terrorism-related. The violence comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing debates surrounding immigration and asylum policies in the United Kingdom.

德克萨斯州科林县的一个陪审团判处现年19岁的卡梅洛·安东尼35年监禁，罪名是于2025年4月在弗里斯科的一场高中田径运动会上谋杀了17岁的奥斯汀·梅特卡夫。尽管安东尼在案发时年仅17岁，但仍被作为成年人起诉。在审判期间，控方指控安东尼在蓄意刺死梅特卡夫前曾对其进行威胁，而辩方则坚称其行为属于自卫。在量刑阶段，陪审团仅用两个半小时就做出了决定，期间仅有安东尼的母亲出庭作证。

A jury in Collin County, Texas, has sentenced 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony to 35 years in prison for the April 2025 murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco. Although Anthony was 17 at the time of the stabbing, he was prosecuted as an adult. During the trial, prosecutors argued that Anthony threatened Metcalf before intentionally killing him, while defense attorneys maintained he acted in self-defense. The jury deliberated for just two and a half hours to decide the sentence, during which only Anthony's mother testified.
