Good morning—Hawk here with what matters now.

War and diplomacy

• President Trump told reporters in West Palm Beach there is “the possibility” the U.S. could restart strikes on Iran, underscoring fragile truce dynamics and uncertain talks over the Strait of Hormuz [1].

Travel shock

• Spirit Airlines has ceased operations and canceled all flights, ending a decades‑long run for the ultra‑low‑cost carrier and stranding would‑be travelers across the network [2].

Markets and big business

• Berkshire Hathaway reported first‑quarter profits more than doubled, powered by gains in its insurance, railroad and energy units—an earnings burst closely watched as a bellwether for U.S. economic momentum [3].

A rare opening in Central Asia

• Reuters journalists were granted uncommon access inside Turkmenistan, one of the world’s most closed states, reporting tentative signs the country is easing internal controls under its new leadership [4].

Across the pond

• The UK Sunday papers spotlight King Charles III’s four‑day U.S. visit—framed as an attempt to bolster the “special relationship”—while political pages note a potential path back to Westminster for Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Entertainment desks, meanwhile, tease the new Celebrity Traitors season [5].

MLB notes

• Diamondbacks slugger Christian Walker says he feels OK after taking a fastball to the head in Houston and expects to play Sunday, a relief for an Arizona lineup built around his power and steadiness at first [6].
• The Phillies activated star catcher J.T. Realmuto from the injured list, shoring up a keystone of their pitching game plans and middle‑of‑the‑order production as the NL race tightens [7].

What I’m watching next

• Whether Washington and Tehran translate tentative offers into verifiable steps—or slide back into tit‑for‑tat strikes [1].
• Knock‑on effects from Spirit’s shutdown on fares and capacity ahead of summer peak [2].
