Last update: 2 hours ago

Inter-Korean Sports Diplomacy: North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s FC beat Suwon FC 2-1 in torrential rain to reach the AFC Women’s Champions League final in Suwon, coming from behind after a missed Suwon penalty and sending players into tears at full time; they’ll face Japan’s Tokyo Verdy Beleza on Saturday. Samsung Labor Standoff: Samsung’s union has put a planned chip-factory strike on hold after last-minute talks with management and Seoul’s labor minister, with a tentative wage deal now headed to a vote—avoiding a potential production shock. Middle East Oil Jitters: Markets are swinging on hopes of de-escalation around Iran, with Strait of Hormuz traffic reportedly rising and Trump saying Iran talks are in the “final stages,” while Iran warns any renewed attacks could spread beyond the region. Global Flashpoint: Israel’s far-right security minister faced mounting backlash after releasing videos of detained Gaza flotilla activists being abused, prompting multiple countries to summon Israeli ambassadors.
