A fragile ceasefire holds as US awaits Iran response, Bahrain detains dozens

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A tenuous ceasefire appeared to be holding Saturday after the United States struck two Iranian oil tankers, while the country that hosts the U.S. Navy’s regional headquarters said it arrested dozens of people it alleged were linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

Iran War Strait of Hormuz

Attacks Friday cast doubt on the tenuous month-old ceasefire that the United Stateshas insisted is still in effect. Washington is awaiting an Iranian response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and roll back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.

The U.S. military said Friday that its forces had disabled two Iranian tankers that were trying to breach an American blockade of Iran’s ports. Hours earlier, the military said it thwarted attacks on three Navy ships andstruck Iranian military facilitiesin the strait.

Meanwhile, in the small Gulf island of Bahrain, the nation's Ministry of Interior said Saturday it had arrested 41 people it alleges are part of a group affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. It said investigations are ongoing to take further action against anyone affiliated with the group but did not provide further details.

Bahrain is led by a Sunni Muslim monarchy but, like Iran, its population is majority Shiite. Rights groups have said that the kingdom has used the war between Iran and the U.S., which bases its Fifth Fleet in the country, as an excuse to crack down on dissent at home.

US says it responded to an attack in the Strait of Hormuz

Iran has mostly blocked the critical waterway for global energy since the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28, causing a global spike in fuel prices andrattling world markets. The U.S. has imposed its own blockade of Iran’s ports.

The U.S. military posted video of the two Iranian tankers as their smokestacks were struck by an American fighter jet on Friday. Earlier in the week, an American military jet shot out the rudder of a tanker the U.S. military said was attempting to breach its blockade.

A U.S. strike overnight killed at least one sailor and injured 10 others aboard a cargo vessel that caught fire, a news agency affiliated with Iran's judiciary reported. It was not clear if the ship was one of the two tankers the U.S. acknowledged striking.

Despite the attacks, U.S. PresidentDonald Trumphas insisted the ceasefire is holding. He also hasreiterated threatsto resume full-scale bombing if Iran doesn’t accept an agreement to reopen the strait and roll back its nuclear program.

On Friday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said the country was not paying attention to “deadlines” and Tehran continues reviewing a U.S. proposal related to ongoing negotiations, according to state-run IRNA.

A top Iranian official also said Friday that the country's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was in “complete health" and that he would eventually appear in public.

The comments were made by Mazaher Hosseini, who is affiliated with the office of Iran’s former Supreme Leader, at a pro-government gathering. Hosseini said Mojtaba had suffered knee and back injuries but that they’ve largely healed and he’s now in good condition.

Khamenei hasn't been seen in public since the war began and the continued absence of verified images, audio, or video of him has fueled speculation about his status. Remarks such as Hosseini's are seen by some as attempts to counter doubts that he may no longer be alive.

Calls for calm

As tensions escalate there's been a flurry of diplomacy across the globe.

Russia’s foreign ministry said Saturday that it, as well as Saudi Arabia, is calling for continued diplomatic efforts to reach a “sustainable, long-term agreement” to end the war, according to Russia's foreign ministry.

Egyptian and Qatari top diplomats have also have reiterated that diplomacy is the sole path to finding a solution, according to a readout of a Saturday phone call between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said his country has been in contact with the U.S. and Iran “day and night” in an effort to extend the ceasefire and reach a peace deal.

Father of the Year named at 103rd annual banquet in East Jordan

The 103rd annual Father and Son Banquet took place on April 25 at the East Jordan High School auditorium, continuing a community tradition that has brought generations of families together for more than a century.

According to a community announcement, the banquet, first established in 1923 and adopted by the Rotary Club of East Jordan in 1957, honors fathers and father figures and highlights their role in strengthening families and the broader community. The event again drew families from across East Jordan for an evening focused on connection and shared experiences.

This year’s program included a presentation by Cheri Leach, founder of Raven Hill Discovery Center, along with dinner and entertainment that reflected local traditions.

The evening’s top honor, Father of the Year, was awarded to Greg Kitson, who was nominated by his son, Granger, with support from his daughter, Molly, and his wife, Meg. Kitson was selected from a group of nominees and recognized for his impact as a father and community leader, according to the announcement.

East Jordan Public Schools Superintendent Enos Bacon presented Kitson with the Father of the Year award during the ceremony.

Although retired from a career with East Jordan Public Schools, Kitson remains active in the community as a coach for the East Jordan Red Devils football and basketball teams.

“The Father and Son Banquet is a celebration of the relationships that shape our lives and strengthen our community,” Rotary Club President Jennifer Burr said in the announcement.

The Rotary Club of East Jordan thanked attendees and volunteers for supporting the annual banquet and continuing the long‑standing tradition. More information about the club is available atejrotary.com.

Could Eagles reunite Nick Sirianni with CB Kenny Moore II?

ThePhiladelphia Eaglesdon’t have a glaring weakness at cornerback, but that probably won't stop speculation surrounding Kenny Moore II. Per the report, he was recently released by theIndianapolis Colts.

Honestly, the connection feels too obvious not to discuss. Moore officially became available after Indianapolis moved on from the veteran defensive back following nine seasons with the organization. The move reportedly stemmed from a mix of age, contract considerations, scheme changes, and the emergence of younger options in the secondary.

Naturally, that immediately reignites one familiar relationship. Nick Sirianni knows Moore extremely well from their shared time together in Indianapolis, where Sirianni served on Frank Reich's coaching staff from 2018 through 2020. During that stretch, Moore developed into one of the NFL's better nickel defenders and eventually earned Pro Bowl recognition.

That familiarity matters. TheEaglesdon't necessarily need Kenny Moore, but they could absolutely justify adding him. Given his relationship with Nick Sirianni, his experience, and Philadelphia's constant search for secondary depth, this suddenly feels like exactly the type of move worth monitoring closely.

Philadelphia already boasts one of football's more talented secondaries with names like Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Riq Woolen in the mix. Still, the Eagles have repeatedly shown they value versatility and veteran depth in the defensive backfield. Moore would provide both.

Even at 30 years old, he remains experienced, instinctive, and capable of helping in sub-packages, particularly if Philadelphia wants additional flexibility inside. The question becomes what his role might be.

Moore's best football has historically come in the slot, but Philadelphia already has multiple defensive backs capable of handling nickel responsibilities. That reality makes it difficult to envision a full-time starting role waiting for him. Still, championship contenders rarely complain about having too many capable good players, and Philadelphia could entertain the possibility of a C.J. Gardner-Johnson-type move: adding Moore and converting him to possibly the safety position.

2026 stock car racing season opened last week at some area tracks

WATERTOWN — Casino Speedwayofficialsare definitely hoping for a little bit more help from Mother Nature as they head into the 2026 stock car racing.

The 1/4-mile clay oval track near Lake Kampeska in Watertown is set to open its 72nd season with a Mother's Day program scheduled for Sunday, May 10.

Each of the six regular classes cars are scheduled to race in the program, which will start at 5 p.m.

"We're starting early for the first month. I just want to see if starting earlier will get more people to come out," Casino Speedway owner-promoter Todd Good said.

A good majority of 19 scheduled programs this summer will be hosted on Sundays, and most of them, after May at least, will begin at 6 p.m. Last summer, season-opening and season-ending events at the track were wiped out by weather along with a mid-summer stretch that included six programs cancelled in eight tries.

So far this year, Mother Nature has helped track officials prepare the track, and the forecast looks good for this weekend.

"I hate to say it, but I think we're going to get to race," Good said.

Casino officials are expecting to have most other things taken care before Sunday's opening program. A new grandstand has arrived but may not be installed yet for the opening week.

Special programs scheduled include the 11th Casino Speedway Memorial on May 23; 14th Marilyn Olson Memorial on June 6; third B-Dubs Summer Slam featuring Midwest Sprint Touring Series (MSTS)/Northern Outlaw Sprint Association (NOSA) 410 Sprints on June 28; 15th Summersota Nationals featuring the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) on Thursday, July 16; second FYE Class featuring the Tri-State Late Models on Saturday, Aug. 22; Season Track Championships on Sept. 6; and the season-ending ninth Autumn Classic on Sept. 25-26.

Fifty-eight cars participated May 3 in the 2026 Car Show and Test N' Tune session at the speedway. Admission for most regular events this summer is $15 for adults and $5 for students 8-13. Children 7-and-under are admitted free if accompanied by a paying adult.

Track champions from 2025 are all expected to race here again this summer, including Chad Becker of Aberdeen, late models; Mike Stearns of Aberdeen, modifieds; Todd Stark of Watertown, Midwest modifieds; Christian Kast of Fairmount, ND, hornets; Maria Broksieck of Goodwin, street stocks; and Curt Kranz of Watertown, Gen X late models.

Stark, Kast and Kranz all won their classes for the first time, and Stearns repeated as the modified champion. Broksieck led street stock drivers for the fourth year in a row and sixth time in eight years. Becker won the late model division for the seventh-straight year and for the 13th time in the last 17 years.

Schedules, results and other information for all area racetracks can be found atwww.myracepass.com.

The racing season for many area drivers kicked off this past weekend with season-opening events at Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen, Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron and Fiesta City Speedway in Montevideo, MN.

Drivers will get to chance to compete more regularly at DSFS on Saturdays this year, creating the old eastern South Dakota loop with drivers competing in Aberdeen on Friday, Huron on Saturday and Watertown on Sunday.

"I honestly feel that Huron being open full time is going to be a benefit for us," Good said.

Dominant Hurricanes blow past Flyers to take 3-0 series lead

Jordan Staal and Andrei Svechnikov each had a goal and an assist Thursday as the visiting Carolina Hurricanes topped the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven second-round series.

Frederik Andersen made 18 saves and Jalen Chatfield scored the go-ahead goal for Carolina, which improved to 7-0 this postseason. The Hurricanes will go for a sweep when the teams reconvene in Philadelphia for Game 4 on Saturday.

"It's been obviously a great start to the series. We've played the way we want to play," Staal said after the win. "It's part of our whole identity as a group, and we want to continue to build on that."

Nikolaj Ehlers also tallied for the Hurricanes, while Jordan Martinook and Shayne Gostisbehere notched two assists apiece.

After upsetting the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, Philadelphia has had its hands full with the Hurricanes. Dan Vladar made 26 saves and Trevor Zegras scored the lone goal for the Flyers, who went 0-for-5 with the man advantage while allowing two power-play goals as well as a short-handed tally.

"We took nine penalties. Five-on-five, we were good. I thought we were the better team. But the power plays and penalties," Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said after the loss. "Two games in a row, it was a penalty fest. We're not equipped for that."

With the game tied 1-1 late in the second, Philadelphia began a power play with an offensive-zone draw, but it was Carolina that scored 11 seconds later. Martinook made a diving play to spring a 2-on-1, and Staal fed Chatfield for a one-timer that zipped just under the crossbar.

The Flyers failed to score on that power play, even though they had a two-man advantage for more than a minute of it.

The Hurricanes tacked on a pair of third-period goals -- Svechnikov's one-timer on a 4-on-3 power play and Ehlers' wrister on a breakaway.

The Flyers pressured Andersen early with a handful of great chances in the first period.

Travis Konecny snuck behind the Carolina defense, only to have his shot skim off the post. Several minutes later, Porter Martone hit the crossbar. Then the rookie winger set up Alex Bump on a great opportunity on a 2-on-0 in front of the net, but Andersen was up to the challenge.

Finally, a shot by Rasmus Ristolainen slipped through Andersen and was about to cross the goal line before Jaccob Slavin swept it away at the last moment.

In the midst of the Flyers' pressure, the Hurricanes took a 1-0 lead. A shot by Svechnikov hit off the boards and caromed back in front of the crease, where Staal swept the puck off Vladar and into the net.

"If you want to see how we're supposed to play, that's the model right there," Andersen said of Staal. "... (As the captain), you've got to be reliable and be a calm presence in the room, too. That's where he's underrated."

Carolina led 1-0 after one period, but Philadelphia pulled even 2:31 into the second. A loose puck found its way to Zegras in the right circle, and he elevated a shot past Andersen to forge a 1-1 tie.

Emotions ran high throughout the third period, where 36 of the game's 58 penalty minutes were given out. That included a game misconduct on Konecny with 2:19 left and 26 penalty minutes in the final three minutes when the game had been effectively decided.
