  By DAVID McHUGH, AP Business Writer

  Strikes by Iranian drones have disrupted operations, while risk of Iranian strikes has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for some 20% of the world’s oil and lique

  Iran has named a son of its late supreme leader as his successor. U.S. President Donald Trump already had expressed disdain for Mojtaba Khamenei, calling him “unacceptable.” The Islamic Republic’s war strategy now has a new commander, and the powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has pledged allegiance.

• Recipe: This Guinness Beef Stew is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day

  09-03-2026 17:58
  
  This isn’t a recipe for a classic Irish stew; it’s a delicious, updated version. Traditionally the mix showcases lamb or mutton, but this slow cooker rendition uses a generous splash of stout and hearty chunks of beef (not those itty-bitty pieces that are often labeled “stew meat” at the supermarket).
  Because it cooks all day, it’s handy to get some of the prep done ahead. You can prepare the recipe through step 2 the night before. Refrigerate the browned beef and t
