WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. State Department said on Friday it fully expects to finalize new trade exemptions for the AUKUS defense project with Australia and Britain in the next 120 days, signaling a further delay in the move, but offering the prospect of a positive outcome in the project to counter China.

Dairy herds in eight states tested positive over the past month, along with one dairy worker in Texas.

JERUSALEM — The relatively limited scope of Israel’s overnight strikes on Iran, and a subdued response from Iranian officials, may have lowered the chances of an immediate escalation in fighting between the two countries, analysts said Friday. While Israel is still fighting wars on two fronts, against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the likelihood of a third front has ebbed, at least for now. For days, there have been fears that a forceful Israeli response to Iran’s attack on s
