Hello. The US military says it will begin a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports, Hungary's conservative icon Viktor Orbán is defeated by the center-right opposition, and oil jumps 7% to above $100.

Plus, Rory McIlroy defends his Masters title, adding to his growing legacy. 

When Donald Trump was asked about the prospect of conservative Justices Samuel Alito or Clarence Thomas retiring, the Republican president voiced his support for the US Supreme Court's two oldest members to remain on the bench.

Alito, 76, and Thomas, 77, have given no public indication that they are planning to leave their lifetime posts on the top US judicial body. 

But discussion among experts about a possible vacancy has increased as the two men draw closer to the average ‌age of retirement for Supreme Court justices since 2000, about 80 years old, and with the November US congressional elections looming.

Any vacancy would allow Trump to make a fourth appointment to the court. Trump made three appointments during his first term in office, giving the court a 6-3 conservative majority that has moved American law dramatically rightward since 2020.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy won the Masters by one ‌shot over Scottie Scheffler to collect his sixth major and become the fourth repeat winner at Augusta National and first since Tiger Woods in ⁠2002.
