The doctrine, called Chevron deference, has required judges since 1984 to defer to government agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes. Discarding it could undermine regulations in countless areas, including the environment, health care, consumer safety and nuclear energy, transferring power to Congress and the courts. A representative of the Biden administration told the Supreme Court today that overruling Chevron would be an “unwarranted shock to the legal system.” And the three liberal justices seemed to agree. But dismantling Chevron has long been a goal of the conservative movement, and the court’s conservatives questioned why the agencies would hold such power. The cases underlying the challenge were brought on behalf of two sets of fishermen who opposed a government fee, suspended in 2023, that they considered unreasonable.

According to Iran, the attacks targeted terrorist groups — the Islamic State in Syria on Monday and Jaish al-Adl in Pakistan yesterday — as well as a location in Iraq that Iranian officials have said is an Israeli base for intelligence gathering.
