美军于周三晚至周四凌晨对伊朗海岸线约90个军事目标实施了第二轮空袭，旨在削弱其袭击霍尔木兹海峡航运的能力。作为报复，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队及军方随后向巴林、科威特和卡塔尔境内的美军基地发射了导弹和无人机，导致巴林首都麦纳麦拉响防空警报。美国总统特朗普在安卡拉宣布，此前的临时停火协议已经“结束”，并警告若伊朗继续袭击船只，局势将“糟糕得多”。伊朗卫生部称，美军最近的空袭已造成至少14人死亡、78人受伤。此次冲突升级正值伊朗为已故最高领袖哈梅内伊举行悼念活动的最后一天，其遗体已运抵马什哈德准备安葬。

The US military launched a second wave of airstrikes against approximately 90 Iranian military targets along the coastline overnight into Thursday to degrade its capability to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Revolutionary Guards and army retaliated by targeting US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar with missiles and drones, triggering air-raid sirens in Manama. Following the exchange, US President Donald Trump declared the fragile ceasefire agreement 'over' during a press conference in Ankara, warning that attacks would get 'much worse' if Iran targeted more ships. Meanwhile, Iran's Health Ministry reported that the latest US airstrikes killed at least 14 people and injured 78 others. This military escalation coincided with the final day of a six-day funeral procession for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose body arrived in Mashhad for burial.

纽约联邦上诉法院于周三晚上拒绝了唐纳德·特朗普提出的紧急申请，该申请旨在阻止作家E·简·卡罗尔获取近580万美元的赔偿金。在第二巡回上诉法院作出该裁决的数小时前，曼哈顿联邦地区法院法官刘易斯·卡普兰批准了卡罗尔的请求，下令释放特朗普三年前存入法院托管账户的资金。这笔资金包括2023年5月民事陪审团裁定的500万美元赔偿金（其中200万美元针对性虐待，300万美元针对诽谤），以及约80万美元的应计利息。卡普兰法官在判决备忘录中批评了特朗普的诉讼策略，指出被告多年来一直在拖延此案，现在是时候履行判决并付款了。尽管上诉法院的裁决意味着该拨款命令现在可以立即执行，但上诉法院后续仍将审理特朗普对卡普兰法官命令的上诉。如果该命令在未来被推翻，卡罗尔可能会被要求退还这笔资金。

A New York federal appeals court on Wednesday night rejected Donald Trump's emergency request to block writer E. Jean Carroll from collecting nearly $5.8 million in damages. The ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals came hours after Manhattan federal District Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the release of the funds, which Trump had deposited into a court-controlled escrow account three years ago. The total disbursement consists of a $5 million award from a May 2023 civil jury verdict—which found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation—along with approximately $800,000 in accrued interest. In his memorandum, Judge Kaplan criticized Trump's legal tactics, writing that the defendant had been stalling the case for years and that it was time for him to "do equity" and pay the judgment. While the appeals court's decision allows the immediate execution of the disbursement order, the court will later consider the merits of Trump's appeal, which could potentially require Carroll to return the money if the order is overturned.

韩国大法院于2026年7月9日做出终审判决，驳回前总统尹锡悦的上诉，维持对其判处的七年监禁判决。该案是尹锡悦因2024年宣布戒严而面临的数起刑事审判中，首个由最高法院做出终审判决的案件。法院认定尹锡悦在宣布戒严前侵害了内阁成员的审议权、伪造并销毁官方公告，并在遭弹劾后动用总统警卫力量非法阻挠执法人员对其进行逮捕。尹锡悦目前仍被拘留，未出席此次宣判，他因涉嫌叛乱罪在另一案中被判处无期徒刑，目前正在对该判决提出上诉。尹锡悦的律师团队对判决表示深切遗憾，并宣布计划通过宪法申诉等程序挑战该判决的合宪性。

South Korea's Supreme Court on July 9, 2026, upheld a seven-year prison sentence for former President Yoon Suk Yeol, marking the first final ruling from the country's highest court among several criminal trials he faces regarding his brief 2024 martial law declaration. The court dismissed Yoon's appeals, finding him guilty of infringing on Cabinet members' right to deliberate, falsifying and destroying the official proclamation, and deploying presidential security forces to illegally resist arrest after his impeachment. Yoon, who remains in detention and did not attend the ruling, is currently appealing a separate life sentence handed down for his most serious conviction on the charge of rebellion. Following the decision, Yoon's legal team expressed deep regret and announced plans to challenge the constitutionality of the ruling through constitutional review procedures, including a constitutional complaint.

美国缅因州民主党参议员候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳于周三晚宣布暂停竞选活动，并表示打算提交退选文件。此前，Politico于周一报道了一名曾与普拉特纳约会的女性珍妮·拉西科特指控其在2021年实施强奸和性侵犯，普拉特纳对此予以否认。指控曝光后，普拉特纳面临民主党内盟友、领导层及筹款团体的广泛施压，多方撤回了对他的背书。普拉特纳在6月9日的初选中击败了前州长，并获得了伯尼·桑德斯和伊丽莎白·沃伦等进步派人士的支持，原计划在11月的中期选举中挑战共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯。根据缅因州法律，民主党必须在7月27日之前选出替代人选，该党已批准了召开提名大会的初步计划。

Graham Platner, the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, announced the suspension of his campaign on Wednesday night, stating his intention to file withdrawal paperwork. His decision followed a Monday report by Politico detailing an allegation from an ex-girlfriend, Jenny Racicot, who accused Platner of rape and sexual assault in 2021. Platner denied the allegation. Following the report, Platner faced intense pressure from Democratic allies, leadership, and funding groups, who rescinded their endorsements and called on him to drop out. Platner, who won the June 9 primary and was backed by progressives like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, had been set to challenge Republican Senator Susan Collins. Under Maine state law, the Democratic Party has until July 27 to choose a replacement candidate, and tentative plans for a nominating convention have already been approved.

台风“美莎克”带来的强降雨在中国广西壮族自治区引发严重洪涝灾害，已导致39人死亡。广西南宁市副市长丁伟证实，当地一处大坝决口导致26人遇难。目前，广西全区已紧急疏散约13万居民，救援人员动用了无人机和数千艘船只展开搜救。除了直接的人员伤亡外，此次洪涝还在广西横州市引发了特殊的次生灾害。当地一处蛇类养殖场被洪水淹没，导致包括眼镜蛇、大王蛇和水蛇在内的数百条蛇逃逸。目前已有当地村民在清理房屋积水和杂物时被逃逸的眼镜蛇咬伤，当地医院也已收治多名蛇伤患者。逃逸的蛇群在洪水中游动的视频已在网络上流传，对灾区居民的安全构成持续威胁。

Heavy rainfall from Typhoon Maysak has triggered severe flooding in southern China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, killing 39 people. According to Nanning's Vice Mayor Ding Wei, 26 of the deaths occurred after a dam breach sent torrents of water through the city. In response to the disaster, emergency personnel have evacuated approximately 130,000 residents across the region, deploying drones and thousands of boats to rescue trapped individuals. The flooding has also unleashed an unusual secondary hazard in Hengzhou, where an inundated breeding farm allowed hundreds of snakes—including venomous cobras, king ratsnakes, and water snakes—to escape into the floodwaters. Local medical staff confirmed they have treated multiple snakebite patients, including a villager who was bitten by an escaped cobra while clearing debris from his home. Dramatic footage of the snakes in the floodwaters has circulated widely online as residents grapple with the dual threats of rising waters and loose reptiles.

澳大利亚与印度签署了一项行政协议，将开始向印度出口用于和平目的的铀，以支持印度的核能产业。该协议是在印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪对澳大利亚进行为期三天的访问期间，由澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯与莫迪在墨尔本举行的年度领导人峰会上共同宣布的。两国曾于2014年达成铀销售协议，但由于担心相关材料可能被用于武器，常规运输已被延迟了数年。此次签署的新行政协议有望结束数十年的延迟，使澳大利亚的铀出口能够顺利流向印度，为印度的核能雄心提供新的推动力。阿尔巴尼斯赞扬了莫迪在加强两国双边关系中所发挥的领导力和个人参与。

Australia and India have signed an administrative agreement to begin exporting Australian uranium to India for exclusively peaceful purposes, providing a fresh impetus to India's nuclear energy industry. The deal was announced by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Modi's three-day visit to Australia at the Annual Leaders' Summit in Melbourne. Although the two nations previously reached a uranium sales agreement in 2014, regular shipments were held up for years over concerns regarding potential weapons use. This new administrative agreement is expected to resolve those long-standing delays and allow exports to flow. Albanese credited Modi's leadership and personal engagement for the strength of the bilateral relationship.

制药巨头阿斯利康（AstraZeneca）于周四早些时候宣布，其治疗罕见心脏病的药物Wainua在一项后期临床试验中未能达到主要目标。在为期140周的试验中，与安慰剂相比，该药物未能实现减少心血管死亡和复发性心脏相关紧急情况的主要终点。该药物针对的疾病是转甲状腺素蛋白淀粉样变性心肌病（ATTR-CM），这是一种因折叠错误的蛋白质在心肌中积聚而导致的罕见且危及生命的心脏疾病，估计全球约有50万人受其影响。受此消息影响，阿斯利康在伦敦上市的股票价格一度下跌达9%，创下自2020年3月以来的最大单日跌幅。尽管杰富瑞（Jefferies）分析师指出，阿斯利康此前对该药物的主要终点及联合用药疗效非常有信心，但此次试验失败并不会危及该公司到2030年实现800亿美元的销售目标。

AstraZeneca announced early Thursday that a late-stage clinical trial for its heart disease drug, Wainua, failed to meet its primary goal. Over a 140-week period, the treatment failed to reach its main objective of reducing cardiovascular deaths and recurrent heart-related emergencies compared to a placebo. The drug targets transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a rare and life-threatening heart condition where misfolded proteins build up in the heart muscle, affecting an estimated half a million people worldwide. Following the announcement, AstraZeneca's London-listed shares fell by as much as 9%, putting the stock on track for its worst trading day since the start of the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020. A Jefferies analyst noted that while AstraZeneca had previously been highly confident in the drug's primary endpoint and its efficacy in combination use, the trial failure does not jeopardize the company's long-term target of reaching $80 billion in sales by 2030.
