President Trump and his senior aides have been considering waging limited strikes in the Strait of Hormuz to prevent Iran from reconstituting its radar and missile capabilities to attack ships, according to three U.S. officials. Why it matters: The plan, which was developed over the past week by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and supported by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, had not been approved by Trump ahead of this weekend's exchange of fire with Iran. But he could greenlight it after the new escalation. - One U.S. official said the idea behind the plan is to reduce the risk of Iranian attacks on oil tankers, U.S. Navy ships and Air Force aircraft — to "mow the lawn," as this person put it. - A White House said: "The President…

The Trump administration should throw its plan to temporarily schedule 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) into the trash. Not revise the threshold. Not negotiate over whether the government should allow one milligram, five milligrams or some other politically acceptable number. The entire premise is backwards. The federal government is preparing to use extraordinary emergency powers to place widely used products into Schedule I before establishing the science necessary to justify doing so.
