Ashton Jeanty jumps on teammate Daniel Carlson as the Las Vegas Raiders celebrate after Carlson hit a 60-yard field goal against the Kansas City Chiefs with eight seconds left in the fourth quarter of their season-closing game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Jan. 4, 2026. The 14-12 win was the Raiders' first against the Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium. Ethan Miller | Getty Images The National Football League on Tuesday approved the sale of 7% of the Las Vegas Raiders by controlling owner Mark Davis to Egon Durban, the co-CEO of Silver Lake, and Michael Meldman, the founder and chairman of Discovery Land Co., at an $11.1 billion valuation, according to a person with firsthand knowledge of the deal who asked not to be named because the transaction is private. The deal includes a 10% "flip tax" the buyers are paying the NFL, the person said. As part of the relocation agreement between the Raiders and the NFL when the team moved to Las Vegas from Oakland, California, in 2020, anyone who buys a piece of the Raiders through March 2037 must pay the league a percentage of the purchase price, according to a person familiar with the terms of the agreement who asked not to be named because the matter is private. Under the agreement, the flip tax rate is 10% from April 2022 through March 2027, he said. The Raiders, picking first in the 2026 NFL Draft, are expected to select quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who won the Heisman Trophy this past season as he led Indiana University to its first national championship and a 16-0 record . Along with the sale of the stake in the Raiders, the NFL also approved Davis giving Durban the right of first refusal should Davis decide to sell his controlling stake in the team. Durban and Meldman bought a combined 15% of the Raiders in December 2024 at a $6.5 billion valuation, including the 10% flip tax, according to the person with firsthand knowledge of the deal. NFL legend and broadcaster Tom Brady also became a minority investor in the Raiders...

If the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut for another six weeks or more, many energy analysts and traders say oil prices would need to climb much higher to bring supply and demand into balance. Think $200 a barrel .

If the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut for another six weeks or more, many energy analysts and traders say oil prices would need to climb much higher to bring supply and demand into balance. Think $200 a barrel . Such a grim figure—along with US gasoline prices topping $4 per gallon, Iran attacking a fully laden tanker and continued strikes around the Persian Gulf—may be among the factors prompting a Trump administration pivot Tuesday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the US military’s job now is to maintain pressure and compel Tehran to make a deal. Hegseth said, without providing evidence, that the US-Israeli bombing campaign was causing Iranian desertions. But Iran’s military—both its regular forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—has appeared from the outside to remain unified in the face of US and Israeli attacks. There’s little sign of desertions, particularly among senior commanders . News that a frustrated Donald Trump may be looking for a way out and Iran’s reported openness to negotiations sent markets skyward . Late in the day, the president said the US would end the bombing in a few weeks . But for much of Tuesday, the administration focused instead on the Iranian stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, the growing energy crisis and lack of response to Trump’s calls for help. He threatened allies unwilling to assist in reopening the strait, saying in a social media post, “ you’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself .” What You Need to Know Today A previous Trump threat—to let Russia attack other NATO members— didn’t do it. Publicly mulling annexing a NATO ally’s territory didn’t do it. But Trump’s decision to start the now-month long war with Iran may be what finally fractures the 77-year-old defensive alliance . NATO members are dropping previous efforts at mollifying Trump and instead increasing resistance to his demands they get involved in the war. Spain closed its airspace to US jets and Italy denied US military air...
