TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING HITS RECORD-LOW 33%; DEMOCRATS LEAD GOP BY 7.5 POINTS

Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a record-low 33%, with growing voter dissatisfaction over the economy and cost of living.

Adding to Republican concerns ahead of the November midterms, 46% of voters say Trump is making it harder for Republican congressional candidates to win, while Democrats hold a 7.5-point lead over Republicans in voting intentions.

• IRAN SAYS IT WILL ANNOUNCE A NEW RESTRICTED ZONE OUTSIDE THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IN THE COMING DAYS AND WEEKS.

• THE ZONE WOULD START AT THE US NAVY'S BLOCKADE LINE AND EXTEND THROUGH THE STRAIT INTO THE PERSIAN GULF.

• ANY SHIP ENTERING THE ZONE WITH THE INTENTION OF PASSING THROUGH HORMUZ WOULD BE ADDED TO IRAN'S SANCTIONS LIST.

• REZAEI CLAIMS IRAN RECENTLY TESTED AN ANTI-SHIP MISSILE OVER A US WARSHIP, SAYING THE US VESSEL “FLED.”

• HE CLAIMS US VESSELS ATTEMPTING TO PASS THROUGH THE AREA ARE BEING TARGETED, BUT SAYS IRAN HAS NOT DECIDED TO SINK THEM BECAUSE THEY CARRY PETROLEUM PRODUCTS.

• REZAEI SAYS IRAN WILL KEEP HORMUZ OPEN AS LONG AS THE US DOES NOT THREATEN OR ATTACK IRAN.
