Iran fires at a US base in Jordan.
Jordan says it intercepted 18 of 20 missiles in the September 9 attack. It reported no casualties; a US official said all American troops were accounted for.
One square = one missile. No impact locations inferred.
At the pump
Diesel reaches $5.94.
Brent crude exceeded $100 a barrel after US strikes on Iranian tankers and attacks on Saudi oil facilities. Diesel costs feed into freight, farming and delivery bills.
Different fuels, same unit. Prices reported by PBS NewsHour.
Government borrowing
A planned $6 billion buyback.
Treasury scheduled a larger purchase of older bonds for September 10. The program supports trading in less-liquid debt; it is not designed to address acute market stress.
The 10-year yield reached 4.85% on September 9—before the planned operation.
Same zero baseline. Planned capacity, not completed purchases.
Mail ballots
The USPS rules remain blocked.
States asked the Supreme Court on September 9 to keep the injunction. The rule would add envelope, barcode and data-submission requirements for federal ballots.
Judge blocks specified requirements for elections through November 3.
Administration files its emergency application.
California and other states file their opposition.
Who counts?
A proposal to narrow the census.
The Census Bureau proposes excluding immigrants without legal status and temporary legal residents from the 2030 count. It would also drop race and ethnicity questions.
Public comment is open. The proposal is not an implemented count.
Iran’s nuclear program
Inspectors’ dispute goes to the Security Council.
The IAEA voted to refer Iran, the Washington Examiner reported. A referral is not itself a new sanctions decision.
These are the 34 votes and abstentions reported by the source, not a claim about all board members.
