Before Donald J. Trump takes office, the West wants to call out Iran for failing to adhere to treaty obligations to be transparent about its nuclear past and present.

The U.S. veto at the U.N. came as the Biden administration’s envoy in Lebanon reported “additional progress” on cease-fire talks in the war between Israel and Hezbollah.

A new warning urges defense companies to increase security and to be on the lookout for surveillance and signs of trespassing.

The envoy, Amos Hochstein, said an end to the fighting was “within our grasp” after meeting in Beirut with Lebanon’s Parliament speaker, a key interlocutor with Hezbollah.

The unusual alert came a day after Ukraine used American-made ballistic missiles to strike Russian territory for the first time. At least two other Western embassies closed for the day after the warning.

In a landmark antitrust case, the government asked a judge to force the company to sell its popular Chrome browser.

The United States, which has blocked four other resolutions, said it vetoed the most recent version because it did not make the release of hostages a precondition for a truce.

The attack came just days after President Biden gave Ukraine permission to use the weapons to strike targets inside Russia.

Britain allowed Ukrainians to use Storm Shadows a week after President Biden authorized the use of American-made missiles inside Russia, a shift from a more cautious military strategy.

President Biden has granted permission for Kyiv to carry out long-range strikes, and his Ukrainian counterpart said the launches would come soon.
