Israel Struck a Notorious Iranian Prison. Its Inmates Are Paying a Price.

Authorities at Tehran's Evin Prison were still attending to the dead and wounded on the evening of June 23 when one of the highest-profile inmates held there, Swedish-Iranian scientist Ahmadreza Djalali, called his wife to tell her he was safe.

Hours earlier, Israeli airstrikes hit the sprawling compound that holds thousands of detainees, many of them political prisoners. The destruction and damage was so extensive-far more than outside observers initially realized-that the prisoners were being transferred elsewhere, he told her in a brief phone call.

Europe Draws Up Retaliatory Tariffs for U.S. Goods in Case No Trade Deal Is Reached

BRUSSELS-The European Union is readying a fresh list of American products-ranging from aircraft to alcoholic beverages, coffee and medical devices-to hit with retaliatory tariffs if a trade deal isn't reached by President Trump's Aug. 1 deadline.EU officials on Monday unveiled the list after Trump's latest tariff threat over the weekend revived a debate in the bloc over whether it should fight back, and how forcefully, if the two sides can't reach a deal.The EU in April froze an initial package of retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. after Trump said he would limit blanket tariffs on most countries to 10% for 90 days. The new EU list, circulated to the bloc's 27 member states and viewed by The Wall Street Journal, covers American imports that were together valued at roughly $84 billion last year.

The list covers about $77 billion worth of industrial imports, including aircraft, machinery, automotive products, chemicals, plastics and medical devices. It also covers about $7 billion worth of agricultural and food products, such as fruits and vegetables, wine, beer and spirits.

Trump Raises Pressure on Russia With Tariff Threat, Ukraine Weapons Deal

The U.S. will impose "very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days," Trump said.
