Abdul El-Sayed made history this month in Michigan by becoming the first Muslim nominated by the Democratic Party to run for the U.S. Senate. But elation among many of El-Sayed's fellow Muslim Americans is tempered by awareness of persisting and widespread anti-Muslim sentiment across much of the nation.

The United Arab Emirates says an Iranian missile targeted one of its ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel is owned by Abu Dhabi’s state-run ADNOC oil company. The attack happened early on Saturday, but no casualties were reported. ADNOC says over a dozen of its vessels have faced similar attacks since February. Meanwhile, Yemen’s military attacked the country's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in response to the strikes, escalating tensions and threatening to reignite the civil war. In Turkey, a Kurdish peace bill passed its first hurdle in parliament. The draft law includes a conditional pardon for former fighters and aims to end the decades-long conflict with Kurdish separatists.
