Israel shelled the Bargaz Valley in the Hasbaya area of southern Lebanon.

A team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Oceanology, with collaborators at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Northwestern Polytechnical University, used multi-omics analysis and functional validation to link the extreme fasting tolerance of a deep-sea giant isopod—able to survive up to five years without stable food—to an energy-metabolism gene ND1 of bacterial origin. The study reports genetic and epigenetic regulation that enables efficient energy use at low metabolic rates and describes a mechanism balancing large body size with low metabolism. Findings were published in Cell on June 5 and are presented as potential new leads for obesity intervention and longevity research.

Iran’s Supreme Leader military adviser Mohsen Rezaee told CNN on June 5 that if fighting continues and the US does not lift its maritime blockade, the conflict could spread to the Indian Ocean and Iran would strike additional US bases, inflicting very heavy losses on the United States.
