President Donald Trump has honored the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by vowing to “never forget.” He spoke Tuesday at an event at the Ellipse that opens days of commemorations of the attacks a quarter century ago. The event featured a massive steel beam from the World Trade Center. The beam will travel through New York on Friday, retracing the steps of fallen firefighter Stephen Siller. Trump said the battered beam “is a reminder that America is blessed with a strength no fire can consume, no evil can conquer and no terror can destroy.”
U.S. Central Command says the military has destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers following attacks on a U.S. warship by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

The outcome could resonate far beyond both countries as a test of how a smaller U.S. ally can withstand Trump’s economic pressure.
